First game in 18 months, unhappy at the outcome but never experienced a game being abandoned at such an early stage. Ref made the correct call due to the threat of injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye you were right in front of me [emoji38] Aye a right shitter given I'm currently soaked, standing at Larbert for a train home, spending/spent more time travelling than actually seeing a game and £7 down. But it was good to see some live football nonetheless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Montrose Roselea 1-6 Banks O'DeePlayed at Broomfield Park as Links Park was unavailable for some reason. Very one-sided. It was already 6-1 to BoD at HT. Then they eased off. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 A trip to Ormiston v Leith Athletic tonight. Ormiston a ground I had never hitherto been to despite me growing up six miles away. East Lothian was a different world then.Missed all the biblical rain and thunder, even had a nice wee blot of late summer's evening sunshine.Lovely wee ground. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Were you as stupid as me then? The whole journey from Queen St it was warm and sunny. The brakes came on for Camelon station and the heavens opened. It's fucking bouncing and I'm in a hoody and shorts [emoji38] This better be an immense game of football. I was precisely as stupid as you, but I got lucky - and I kept my eye on the rain radar right up until I left. Not a drop fell on Moffat during the game I went to, but I had to get off the road for 15 minutes near Bathgate because of heavier rain than I've ever seen in Scotland.Upper Annandale 1-1 Lochar Thistle, very basic ground but not a bad place to watch some football on a warm evening. The early stages of the match were very congested and every second touch was a tackle. But it improved as it went on and you got to see some of the talent on both sides. Lochar equalised from a penalty that looked very dubious to me, though 1-1 was a fair result. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) First game of 2021/22 for me tonight. Pre-season friendly, but as my last game was Scotland Vs Croatia and I put that into my 2020/21 stats, this seems like a good line in the sand to start afresh.... Warrington Town 0-2 Accrington Stanley A surprisingly good showing for the Northern Premier League home side against League 1 opposition. After conceding two in the opening 15 minutes, they turned things around and were unlucky not to get something out of the game. Apparently lost narrowly to L2 Tranmere 0-1 at the weekend past also, so might be one to keep an eye on for honours this season in the 7th tier.

Remember going to a game there a couple of years ago and there was one lad who fit that description with another lad with a drum, singing EK songs and berating opposition players all game. Not any different to young teams at any ground granted, but the fact there was just the two of them and no-one else in the ground was really making a noise made the "fucking" and "cunting" really stand out. Great effort from the young lads! Edited July 28, 2021 by Christophe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great effort from the young lads! Yeah, that'll be him! He was giving the players pelters. Loved his passion although not sure the poor EK right back did! Let out a massive frustrated scream at the final whistle too. No actual word - just a big noise No drumkit yesterday though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Lothian Thistle Hutchinson Vale 1-3 Dunbar United. 2nd goal from Dunbar was a great strike. Save from Dunbar keeper in first half was a cracking one. Lothian had loads of the ball but just could not score.

19QOS19 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Clydebank 2 - 1 Cumnock Cracking game of football and a game of two halves but Clydebank held on for the win. A great ground if you enjoy watching airplanes as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Kilbirnie Ladeside 1-4 Auchinleck Talbot. I feel like a bit of an anorak twat for going to this when my own team were playing at Dundonald, but I was through in the west anyway and I'm close to a few milestones which will bug me until I reach them. I'm also a bit of a Talbot fanboy, for most of my life they've set the standard in non-league. I was late arriving and missed Auchinleck's opener but I caught their second - which is more than can be said for the home side's keeper, who allowed a pretty average low cross to go straight through his arms and legs, leaving Talbot a tap-in behind him. Kilbirnie pulled one back straight away with a delicious right foot screamer, a touch of slice taking it away from the keeper. The standard early on was very high from both sides, causing the Lithgae fan in me to worry about the continuing gap between west and east just now, though it settled down to a midfield battle. A squad of boys watching from a hillock overlooking the ground decided the start of the second half was when to make their presence felt and set off an array of fireworks. They looked glorious as they, er, were barely distinguishable against the bright grey Ayrshire sky. It's the thought that counts lads. Talbot were always the better side though not firing on all cylinders, and you got the feeling that if they could get their combinations working they would pull away. They managed that more and more as the second half wore on and 4-1 was a fair reflection in the end. A proper ex-Junior ground with a noisy support, plenty of cover, some seating, terracing almost all round and respectable pies. As it should be. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
