We pip them with a late couple of goals last year, they respond by pipping us on goal difference. Edited April 11 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev8122 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 44 minutes ago, Hedgecutter said: What really turned the screw for me after Fraserburgh last Saturday was seeing a couple of our senior players having what looked like a great laugh and joke outside the ground not long after the game. I'm in no way expecting players to be as emotionally attached to a club as the fans are, but it honestly made me think their hearts aren't in it. Perhaps it was a Price-related thing who's lost the group, but part of me just thought "why f***ing bother" when I saw it. When we look at our results against the 4 teams below us - 7 points from 24 tells its own story (despite our wage bill being significantly higher than any of the other clubs) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraserburgh would be my bet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 (edited) Buckie haven't won on a Saturday since February 17th. True story.. If they hadn't blown it against Clach, Lossie. Wick and Vale in recent weeks they'd be red hot favourites, we're the real heroes here! Edited April 11 by welshbairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you report this terrifying behaviour to the police? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be emotionally blinkered then cos I can't see anything else other than us somehow fucking it up. Buckie's Saturday form has been so woeful, I have no real hopes over the next game against Vale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden Cowboy Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I assume Brechin could reach bronze licence standards in short order - how are Buckie and Fraserburgh placed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they'd have much trouble, but there's the possibility of Buckie using it as an excuse to avoid going up, although I've heard their attitudes may have changed recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I base this entirely on a chat with a single Buckie fan, but it sounds like a case that if Elgin stay up (which it very much looks like they will), then Buckie will want up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Shaker Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Buckie's money men have done the sums, and know the value of promotion. There's zero money to be made staying in the SHFL, and Buckie need significantly more than zero money to fund that squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
