Hedgecutter Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) Why can't Brechin beat any of the top 5 and Buckie not beat anybody outwith it just now?! We know the first part, but the latter is such a mystery that it's almost deliberate. Edited March 30 by Hedgecutter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Vale potentially putting one of the final nails in the coffin for their rivals' title bid has to feel good. Reckon Brechin limp to the finish line, but nae danger they get near promotion unfortunately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A weird thing is how Buckie keep beating the top sides on Wednesday nights but get nowhere against the dross on Saturday afternoons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expected nothing and got a nice win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vale Vale Vale Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Great result today but Clach could still go above us with us having four hard matches coming up and we could still go above Forres. Mon the Vale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon Brechin limp to the finish line, but nae danger they get near promotion unfortunately When we got promoted to the championship under Darren Dods we finished 4th in league one having lost more games than we won . Nobody gave us a chance but we upped it for the play offs , beat Raith and Alloa to go up . Never say never. Turned out to be the beginning of the end for us but it was good at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished 12 points behind Alloa too. Big difference with that I suppose is that nobody was expecting it, and promotion was more of a 'nice to have'. Not so much now where there's serious pressure to get up asap, otherwise there's the realistic chance that we'll end up one of the perennial mid-HL-table teams (although most seem to eventually have a shot at the title on a cyclic basis tbf). If Brechin didn't have the SPFL history behind them then there's no reason why they should be seen as any bigger than a team from a similar sized town such as Turriff (granted they don't have the Dundee area to tap into as well as Aberdeen, but you know what I mean). This is a critical season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a critical season. Don’t get promoted 75% of the players are off ,we are going to end up as a mediocre highland league team at best. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) It's getting too close to call, but here we go. Brechin City will beat EK in the playoffs. Brechin City will beat Clyde in the final.

welshbairn Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 (edited) Brora v Vale moved to Golspie Buckie v Strathspey postponed Forres v Wick postponed Keith v Brechin 1.30 pitch inspection postponed All due to waterlogged pitches. All 4 clubs need to get serious in the summer about sorting the drainage out, this season has been embarrassing. Brora, Buckie and Forres have been some of the more reliable grounds till this year.
