Marten Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 Tayport 0-5 Lochee United Another brilliant performance in what I thought would have been a tough game. First half we were easily the better side but didn't finish enough chances, the score was 0-1 at HT. In the second half we were commanding throughout, a very strong performance with some excellent goals. Bobby Linn was the Man of the Match, he played a part in all goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Broxburn Athletic 3-0 Lochee United Unfortunately, our poorest game of the season so far. The first half was a cagey affair with nothing much between the teams, but 2 quick-fire goals just after HT meant we were up against it, we never really recovered form that. There are always "what ifs" like what if we got a penalty just before they scored the 3-0, but these things happen in football. It's too easy to just blame it on that moment as we didn't create enough. In fairness, credit is due to Broxburn as they've easily been the strongest team we've played this season. We'd have to be at our best to have a chance to beat them and we simply weren't, so the better team on the day won and we can't have complaints about that. It's a shame from our point of view but as much as I'd have loved a cup run, promotion is something we all really want so if we have an off-day I'd rather have it in the cup than in an important league game. We just learn from this and move on. Thanks to Buchan Bowling Club who were great hosts to us before the game and the Broxburn committee who made us feel welcome. I had some good chats with very friendly people. As often with away days, a great day out despite the result! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Lochee United 10-0 Letham Football is a funny old game sometimes. After 20 minutes I thought this would be a close game. Once the first goal went in, Letham's heads just seemed to drop and it became surprisingly easy. Jayden Ferguson scored 4, Danny Cavanagh scored a hattrick as well, other goals were for Paul Scobie, Kerr Hay and newbie Corey Gray who we just signed from Downfield. Brilliant performance, absolutely relentless. Edited September 30, 2023 by Marten 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 Lochee United 3-2 Maybole Juniors Lochee United got through to the third round of the Scottish Junior Cup by beating the visitors from Ayrshire in a good game. Maybole started well and took an early lead. After about 20 minutes, Lochee United got more into the game and got a deserved equaliser with a brilliant goal. In the second half, Lochee United were firmly in control and took the lead 10 minutes in, followed by a third about 10 minutes later. It got exciting near the end as Maybole scored a second but Lochee carried the deserved win over the line. I'm very pleased with this as Maybole were very decent opponents, much better than most teams we've faced in the league. A big well done to the ground staff, the pitch looked in excellent condition despite the torrential rain. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Lochee United 2-1 Tayport Wow, what an ending to the game. In all honesty, this was our poorest game of the season so far. The first half both teams were poor, although I'd say we were slightly better. In the second half, they were better and their goal was coming. Nothing seemed to work after that and it looked like we were heading to a 0-1 defeat. In stoppage time Jack Neave scored an absolute screamer from a distance. As we were just happy with the likely looking draw, Kerr Hay scored the completely unexpected (and in all honesty, undeserved) winner. The game was poor, but if you want to win the league, you need to win these games as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 I haven't updated this thread for far too long. But some exciting signing news today. After getting Connor Coupe from Downfield (he was previously Dundee), we now got Ryan Patterson back from Forfar Athletic, our player of the year last season! Two major signings for us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 (edited) Lochee United 4-1 Scone Thistle Typical game of 2 halves. Plenty of chances in the first half, but we didn't do enough with them. And what you often see in such cases is that the opposition then does manage to score. Scone scored with a free-kick just before HT, which was very well taken to be fair, but the foul should never have been given away, silly foul to make. The second half we were much more dangerous, Ryan Paterson coming on made a big difference. Connor Coupe scored the equaliser, goals by Bobby Linn, Kerr Hay & finally Ryan Paterson got us the 4-1 win.

Obviously don’t have to tell you, as you will know what you are getting. But Patty has always impressed at Forfar, and the vast majority including myself are extremely gutted to see him go. I enjoyed watching him play and wish him and Lochee United nothing but the best for the future. Good Luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, he made an impact straight away on Saturday against a Scone side who were difficult to break down. Once he came on, we scored 4 goals, he scored the last one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 I haven't posted it in here yet, but sadly I'm soon off to the funeral of our club president. He was one of the people who made me feel welcome at the club when I moved to the area. Passed away way too soon... https://www.facebook.com/Official.Lochee/posts/pfbid02k6h8GqjR1dKhbDWYCvgHmkPAzLikxeXSgJC8Y8mpzWz18URCyQs4Pr4ioBtEahuVl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
