Maybe good to give the players a rest, especially if there's niggling injuries, but sometimes you lose momentum. I have a vague memory of Gary arranging a friendly for City when we were between games going into the play-offs. Anyway get it up thae mutton molester league winners Aye City did play a closed door game remember reading about it in the programme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Just out of interest on my way to Montrose yesterday passed a coach heading north that had THE SPARTANS showing in the destination box on it, could not think why it was heading up the road, any explanations? Congratulations on winning your league. Edited April 16, 2023 by peternapper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i was driving did not really get a look who was onboard just the name caught my eye, maybe driver training for the play-offs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoofhearted Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 The coach may have been the Spartans Connections Para teams. They normally play at Little Kerse on Sundays. We use the same bus company and they always flag up the Spartans banner on the bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundesliga Boy Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Belated congrats to Spartans for their Lowland title victory! Ordered tickets online tonight for the home leg of the play off v Highland champions - should be a cracker! Much as I vehemently disagree with the convoluted play-off system with the mere hope of ending up in the SPFL, it doesn't half make for some excellent play off matches both between HL and LL champs, and again between winner of that match-up and Club 42. (tho longer term I do hope this is resolved). Edited April 17, 2023 by Bundesliga Boy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't at the game but a mate who was there described it to me. Hopefully we will see it in any highlights package. When the keeper gets involved in a DOGSO incident, refs sometimes overlook the fact that there is no longer a keeper left defending the goal, as there generally is if it is a defender who is judged to be the "last man". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stayed on as there was a couple of defenders back but the rule should be looked at as I think it's a different situation when the keeper comes out of the box and takes out the player who was going around him. He would have had a good goal scoring opportunity with no goalkeeper to beat. Overall a deserved win for Spartans - Brechin were very poor, apart from a long range shot again the crossbar they created nothing even against 10 men for a hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I can see why the Brechin keeper was not sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity as he was not the last man but the challenge itself was reckless and could easily been a red card offence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red card every day of the week. Fulfils both DOGSO and serious foul play criteria. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
