Jute Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Edinburgh City 2-2 Montrose Due to weather original plans for watching Aberdeen game on tv then heading to Civil Service or Spartans were knocked on the head so ended up heading to Meadowbank again to watch FC Whatever they’re called this week v Montrose. Decent game played out in a venue that should not be used for league football as the Montrose fans pointed out several times. Meadowbank is fine for Leith in the EOS but is not fit for league football. A few of the home fans didn’t get the memo about the name change and kept shouting “come on City.”Montrose were probably the better team but wonder strike by Fontaine didn’t deserve to be on losing side.

Andy groundhopper Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Don't like the 3g cages without any spectator facilities etc, tho it's probably the only way to progress in Scotland. Excellent crane work, another forum on its way soon ! Knew they played indoors at Toryglen, seen plenty outside at Oriam, but not indoors - my next challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're open to amateur + youth games etc. you may wait a long time: in 6yrs only 6 senior games have been played indoors... All were at Oriam; among them 2 were novelties (an EOSFA cup final shortly after opened and groundhop game the next year); 2 were down to doublebookings (both Edinburgh College games this spring); only 2 related to bad weather (both Heriot-Watt Uni games - former Jan 2018/latter yesterday). By definition doublebookings and bad weather also usually arise at short notice. Ravenscraig staged a few junior games over 10yrs ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I've seen Glasgow City 1 Hibs Women 2 in the Women's Cup Semi Final at Toryglen. It was a horrible night outside and Claire Elmslie scored a 25 yard wonder goal. Thorniewood v one of the East Region teams (Camelon?) in the Junior Cup at Ravenscraig And yesterday's Heriot-Watt game at The Oriam. Do I win £5....? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Leith Athletic 2-2 Coldstream "It cannie be as bad as folk are saying it is, Falkirk, Clyde, Peterhead etc are grumpy b*****ds, cannie be that bad" Central Park and Ashfield are hovels but at least they've the excuse of being old. This Stadium isn't yet in it's 2nd year of existence and it's a disgrace. I'm sure if you're a pole vaulter or trampoliner it is brilliant. I'm not I'm a football fan. The £4 entry fee felt a bit steep for this daft wee stand and being miles away from the action. Actually struggled to see the far touchline because of the floodlights and I'm specky. The catering facilities consist of a vending machine, do Edinburgh have a burger van when they play? Game was quite good to be fair. No great quality on show but a good end to end game. Most of the crowd seemed to be locals taking advantage of the prices, not to anyone charging £18 and wondering why attendances aren't very good. 2-1 Coldstream at half time and it would have been more, but for an excellent display from Leith's goalkeeper. Leith's equaliser with 5 to play meant a share of the spoils Go, once, especially if you were at Old Meadowbank, because no matter how bad you thought that was, this is a million times worse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Dumbarton United 5-6 Motherwell Albion. Well that was chaos. First off, the Albion keeper was wearing a hoodie that was almost the same colour as his outfield team mates. I'm led to believe he doesn't usually play in goals either. United raced into a 3 goal lead midway through the first half. The Albion keeper then launched a verbal tirade at the ref and got himself sent off before throwing his gloves at the ref. To make matters worse, it turned out he had a keeper top on underneath the hoodie alla long which was passed onto one of his team mates along with the retrieved gloves. 3-0 at half time became 4-2 shortly after, before Albion pulled 2 back. United scored again to make it 5-2 before a fight broke out and 2 more Albion players were shown red along with one United player. The previously red carded keeper reappeared and slung some more abuse the ref's way. The ref then threatened to abandon the game if the keeper didnt leave the cage. He actually did say it was done before the Albion players managed to get their keeper to leave and the game restarted. Somehow the 8 men pulled it back to 5-4 then equalised with a penalty in the last minute before snatching a winner in stoppage time. Truly the most chaotic game I've ever witnessed. Fantastic entertainment on a Tuesday night. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Tranent 8(eight)-0 Edinburgh Uni This was even more comfortable a win for Tranent than scoreline suggests and if anything Tranent’s play probably deserved a few more goals. Uni were awful and look relegation certainties on tonight’s evidence. Edited December 22, 2022 by Jute 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni were awful and look relegation certainties on tonight’s evidence. They're still 2pts ahead of Dalbeattie with home game to come, having won away. Plus if Forfar down/LL champion up: no relegation at all. Interestingly as it stands another promoted side from EOS Premier powered through to top in Tranent (like Bonnyrigg + Kelty before) - i.e. discounting Rangers B - while another relegated LL side facing further relegation in Vale (like Whitehill). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Cove Rangers 2-0 Hamilton Accies. It was either this or a night with the in laws so Balmoral Stadium it was. Not a great game with Cove having the majority of the possession but not creating many clear cut chances while Accies seemed content to try and hit on the break which almost worked for them on a couple of occasions. Game was heading for 0-0 until Cove sub Leighton McIntosh scored twice in a couple of minutes to get Cove the 3 points. Well done to the Accies santas who sang for most of the game and provided better entertainment than the players at times.
