Crow Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Bonnyrigg Rose 1-7 Dundee (0-4 HT) @ New Dundas Park . 3pm. Premier Sports Cup Group D. The impressive Premiership side ran out big winners taking a 3-0 lead after just 17 minutes. The Rose did manage a goal back but it was a comfortable afternoon for Dundee. Crowd 987. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Kite Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 @PossilYM Schedule amendment meant I was allowed to take some snaps by a nice DUFC employee. Maybe a data guy, sitting in the office. Thanks for the tip. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Adventures Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Scotland 1-0 Serbia Back to Maryhill to do the wee ground after Lochburn a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately I'd some toil to take at work so we made the ridiculous 6pm Tuesday night kick off. A healthy crowd in attendance to see Scotland top the qualification group and move onto the playoffs. Just before the game an idiot came up to us and said "that's my seat" I delighted in telling him that "no, it wasn't". Seat 121 is not 125 pal. He kept quiet the rest of the game. Don't wish to indulge stereotypes but an American accent and a Glasgow University cap didn't help him. Good game. Sensible decision to play at Firhill. Great atmosphere. Do wish I'd had a shot in the old Firhill but not meant to be. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Hibs 5 Spiders 1. Those seagulls are terrifying. I hope the last person in that stadium tonight gets out alive. They looked hangry! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Kite Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Managed to squeeze in my first visit to Tannadice. Dundee United 3 Stenhousemuir 0. Pie of the Month, kebab pie. As expected, the home side looked sharper and Stenny really only threatened for the last ten minutes. Both sides tried to play some decent stuff. The Stenny fans I was chatting to should enjoy this season's adventures. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandmac Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) Another day/evening,another outrageously picturesque grassroots ground in the Highlands First ever home game at their own ground in Drumnadrochit for glenurquhart FC of the Inverness&district AFA div2,vursus highland.prior to this they always played in or around Inverness. Summer evenings were made for this sort of thing unfortunately for glenurquhart they lost a late goal to lose 1-2 after going ahead at the start of the second half Edited July 17 by highlandmac 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Eejit Abroad Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Pollok 2-0 St Roch’s Good friendly fare in Glasgow. Pollok were far the better side but both teams tried to play with the ball on the ground. Decent crowd for a Wednesday night. Top tier supporters flags from both clubs - Los Pollok Hermanos a personal favourite. Couple of pints in the Quaich beforehand went down well. All in all a good evening out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) Forth Wanderers 1-2 Lesmahagow, Clydesdale Cup semi-final, attendance 100. £6 entry. First random match of the season, at a ground I really like, mostly for its views over the moors to the Pentlands and for the fine woodland around. Nice wee pie portacabin too. I was a few minutes late and missed Gow's opener, and it wasn't long before they added a second. A Forth defender thought his keeper was in his goal rather than standing right behind him, so his pass-back created a foot-race between keeper and forward, and there was only going to be one winner. Forth pulled a scrappy goal back later and threw the kitchen sink at the visitors as the game wore on, but it wasn't to be. Judging by the tackles and how hard a game both sides gave the referee - especially Forth - the Clydesdale Cup must be an incredibly valued trophy.

I find they only seem to come out on Facebook on the day or day before matches. Enjoying following your travels btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment,with great difficulty.at the start of the season IDAFA were pretty good at announcing them,sometimes at the start of the week,sometimes the morning of the game(premier league,D1,D2=mon,Tues,weds respectively) but lately you'll get them an hour before the game,if at all,I got this one trawling individual clubs on Facebook as it was a lovely evening &wanted the fresh air.someone seems to be doing a spreadsheet,though-go to IDAFA Facebook page&look at the comments under Monday 15.7 fixtures,there's a bit of moaning about fixtures not being announced&a link Ta for the kind comments 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair,the NWS leagues Comms are massively improved this season,they've even put out a full list of post split fixtures,it's like night&day compared with last season.still the odd blip but fair play to them for a massive improvement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Adventures Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Oakley United 1-2 Easterhouse Had to spend the morning in my side hustle as chauffeur. So couldn't stray too far this afternoon. We ended up back at Blairwood Park in Oakley for their friendly against Easterhouse of the West Fourth Divison. Despite family connections we have still to go to Stepford. It is on the to do list now it is slightly less cagey. Oakley have kept themselves out of the press due to Vale of Leithan's fall from an even higher precipice. The fall from East Premier to East Second can't be pleasant for the hard working committee. Based on today their fall to the bottom may continue. The visitors from the East End of Glasgow took the spoils with two second half goals. They'll be hoping to improve on their third bottom place in the 4th Division last year. Signs for optimism for sure. We'd a minutes silence pre kick off. No idea who it was for a no one mentioned anything. Always amusing when that happens. I like Blairwood a lot. It's a fantastic ground far better than the team that use it. Was more than happy to come back when the fixture came up. Best of luck to both teams for the upcoming season. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorie Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 First game of the Season for myself, loon and old man. Banks O Dee v Hermes Bridge of Don. 4-1 FT Hermes went 1-0 up early after The BOD keeper messed up costing out and was caught out. Hermes were in control sold defending even saving a soft taken BOD Penalty. BOD pulled it back to 1-1 before half time. Second half BOD went up a gear to finish them off. good new little stand behind the goals at Spain park. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Lanark Utd 3-0 Lesmahagow, Clydesdale Cup final. I was at Lesmahagow's semi-final win last week, and given there's only four teams in it I can say I've done this year's Road to the Ewe Camp. I was keeping Lanark for my last pyramid ground but the scheduling of this was too good. This is a well-loved ground and justifiably so. Lanark dominated throughout and could have won by a lot more. No idea if this was a fair reflection of the real strength of either side or not but it was an enjoyable match. Highlight from the songbook of the home side's gaggle of weans was 'I'm no' a Gow, I'm a yow." 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still good, pity about the old terrace being away now though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
