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...

Marten Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 I'm back in Scotland again and went to my first pre-season friendly. In the previous games we beat Deveronvale 4-2 and Nairn County 3-1. Next week we're at home to Brora Rangers. Some good tests with 4 games against Highland League opposition. As our usual match reporter is away, I wrote today's report. The trialists looked good, I hope we can sign them. LOCHEE UNITED 1-0 FORMARTINE UNITED The third pre-season friendly was at Thomson Park against Formartine United, a regular opponent for us in pre-season. The visitors were the stronger side early on, Lochee United slowly started taking more initiative as time went by, but neither side was really getting dangerous. The first side to get close to scoring were the visitors, who hit the side netting 27 minutes in. Directly after that, Callum Moore took his chance with a good shot to put the 'Chee 1-0 ahead. A trialist playing in midfield had a good action followed by a shot around the 40 minute mark but the goalkeeper made a good save. Formartine had a chance shortly after but Scott Webb blocked the shot, meaning the score was 1-0 going into the break. As usual, a fair amount of changes were made at half time. Kerr Hay was dangerous in the box, he went down after a clash with a defender. He appealed for a penalty but didn't get it. Paul Scobie and another trialist who played at left back both had good shots saved by the goalkeeper. The visitors had a good chance 13 minutes into the second half but Dean Easton, who came on at half time, made a good save. A number of changes for both sides followed, with Formartine again getting the closest when they just missed the target from a corner kick. Danny Cavanagh had a great attempt just before the end of the game, but an equally great save by Formartine's goalkeeper kept the score 1-0. Dean Easton had to make a few saves late on but the game finished 1-0. The scoreline is probably a fair reflection of the game. Both sides played well, with Formartine looking the best team we've played so far. There wasn't that much between the two sides but Lochee United just edged it so deserved the win in what was a good team performance. Because it was a good team performance it's difficult to single out one player. Kerr Hay, despite not scoring, created plenty of changes. Bobby Linn, Callum Moore and Paul Lunan all put in good shifts. But my choice for man of the match is Scott Webster who has been solid at the back all game and played his part in the build up. Good luck to our visitors in their Highland League season but as always COME ON THE 'CHEE! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
