Poor standard but that could be to do with it being 42°C that day. The Sacramento right back is easily the worst professional footballer I've ever seen live. Nick Ross formerly of ICT and Dundee had a decent showing in the middle of the park. Not sure I'd want to be sitting in that stand if a sellout crowd got bouncy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowd 173. looks like a few changes since I was there with WW in the nineties. Don’t think they would win 8-0 nowadays… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was £12 last night for Montrose v Forfar Athletic (also League One v League 2) and £14 on Saturday for Kelty Hearts v Greenock Morton. Both were good competitive matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Manchester United 1-0 Olympic Lyon Pretty drab preseason fair. Manchester United looked bit more interested than Lyon who didn’t have a shot on target that I can remember. Crowd 48,484 in attendance. Glad my ticket was free. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very steep too. No way that stand gets a safety certificate here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 St Anthony's 1-4 Cumnock It was meant to be Shettleston v Glencairn but Shettleston signed a rapist so we're at McKenna Park instead. St Anthony's in a kit that makes St Rochs look like Cambuslang Rangers against junior cup winning Nock on a very sunny night in Govan (Cardonald? Answers on a postcard). Very impressed. Very simple 20 year old ground here after Moore Park was demolished like the rest of Moore Park in the late 90s. Can still get a stocious view of the big hospital that has been obscured somewhat by growing trees. b*****ds. Didn't manage any tea today had a scotch pie. I'm usually not made keen on them but if every Scotch Pie was like this one I'd be an ever fatter p***k than I am now. The match itself was a friendly. Ants match Nock from two Leagues above for much of the game but Nock's quality showed in the second half and the equalise and spend much of the closing stages pressing. Their persistence paying off with a winner coming fifteen minutes from the end. A few late ones as Ants tired made more comfortable than it was for 70 minutes. Having now completed the Govan trilogy. I felt happiest here of the three. New Tinto is stale and Ibrox is full of mutants (big team found etc) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Part 1 at Clydesdale C.C for Sth Asian Academy 317 all out with Scotland under 19's on 191/5 on my departure. Some good players on show and cider £3,80 - quick dash to Meadowbank (2nd visit) for Edinburgh 3 Kelty 5 att 426. Good stuff from the visitors who were 30 down late in 1st half.Daramola and then Biabi caused havoc for the home defence. Put some terrace on the far side or something. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Kilsyth Rangers 2-1 Kilsyth Athletic John Ferguson Trophy A rematch of the Kilsyth Derby, at Duncansfield this time. Officially a friendly but not in the eyes of the players and supporters. Great crowd to acknowledge John Ferguson and to witness only the second ever match up between the two teams of Lower Cumbernauld Athletic have the better of the first half and looked likely to add to their victory in the West Cup last October. Rangers score against the run of play and lead at the break. A rammy after an alleged elbow sees the hosts reduced to 10 men but manage to score from a controversial penalty soon after. The referee, who incidentally was in my year at school, was not the most popular with the Athletic "Ultras" that will be all over Blair McNally's video when it goes up. Lewis Taylor, the best player on the park in my opinion, scores a superb goal to get Athletic back in it. The hosts however hold on to take the bragging rights and the trophy. Preferred this to the last time. As it didn't rain horizontally for 90 minutes and Duncansfield isn't a cage that's obvious. Worth coming if you haven't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Just back on the bus to Glasgow, the 'Battle of Kilsyth' well explained, half decent game with both sides having chances.As I was down the far end, I'm guessing no doubt over the penalty ? Athletic should have been given at least one from where I was stood, and agree the no.7 terrorised the full back all night.Just bring him down and see how he reacts Good bit of needle between both clubs, nice to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) At Peffermill, in the formerly chocolate ginger scented shadow of the Simmers biscuit factory, for the opening day league encounter between Edinburgh University and Civil Service Strollers. Edinburgh took the lead in the… Ach sod that. It’s the home baking report we’re all here for. The key choice today was between a scone with cream and jam, or a truffle. Pies and sausage rolls also available for the savoury minded. I chose the truffle and was told, and I quote, “that’s the best thing you will ever eat”. A high bar, as I’ve eaten a cheese and ham toastie from the Bruichladdich Mini Market after a three hour walk along Kilnallan Point in the freezing rain, and let me tell you that little heated pocket of joy went down well that day. The truffle was indeed decent, if not life changing. A snip for 50p, and I don’t regret my choice. Some strange goings on down the far end. There is the gang of the these days ubiquitous Ultras, with their wee drum - on which none of their summer holiday has been wasted on practice - and their very limited repertoire of chants, which even they tired of after a couple of minutes. Setting them apart is the Irish flag. Not sure if they are being ultra fanatical about the team deriving from the British Government clerical division, or the team deriving from the Russell Group ancient university. Neither institution strikes me as a hotbed of the Irish diaspora, but who am I to question their motives. Nil trains have passed thus far, but we have one half to go, so there remains time. FT: Students 3 Strollers 4. (No trains.) Edited July 22, 2023 by Le Tout P'ti FC 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Back at Central for Viaplay : Cowden v Montrose. Not a classic but the 2nd half was better.Simple for 01 cross, knock down, finish. 11 def pen. Both created chances, but gave the ball away far too often. Expected a bit more from the visitors, 1-1 fair 4-5 on pens.Decent pint in the Kirk and pie n bovril was ok.Excellent week again, up in Inverness in October. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atfccfc Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Finally ticked of Scotlands most northerly SPFL Ground and what a glorious day it was for football. A very scenic trip up from Edinburgh and back via Aberdeen and a trip to see the Cathedral as well. Elgin City V Queen of the South. 0-2. Attendance 517 Ticket £12 Programme and free teamsheet £2 A very comfortable win for QOS 10 man against a poor Elgin City. The visitors took control early on when Kieran McKechnoe cut inside on the left from a free kick to fire a fierce shot into the top corner from the edge of the box. QOS seemed happy to control the game as the hard working but limited Elgin team tried to get back into the game it didn't work Murray Johnson in goal at all in the first half. The second half wasn't very exciting as the visitors kept in control, but their hopes were raised when Kyle McClelland received two quick bookings then a red with 19 minutes to go. Elgin were finally in with a chance, and they did create a great chance soon after when they won the ball in midfield and played it out to the left. A quick cross caught the QOS defence flat but the forward blazed his shot wide, when it was easier to score! QOS heeded the warning and after a few subs they scored the clincher on 89 minutes when Paul McKay rose high at the back post to head home from a corner. A well deserved victory to send home the (well over 100) fans from Dumfries happy. I do like Borough Briggs. A cracking ground. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
