The Highland League Shows Itself Up In Public

Monday, December 21st, 2009

21.12// We’ve featured some of Dave’s videos on the site (without permission it has to be said, sorry), but fuck it, sign the petition anyway. Time to show the suits at the Highland League that they’re just plain wrong, as twohundredpercent points out rather neatly.

The Monday Ballbag

Monday, December 7th, 2009

In another action-packed weekend of Scottish football, Aberdeen fail to capitalise on last week’s epic win against Rangers, Hamilton record a rare win but a tunnel fracas after their game with Hearts will keep the SFA busy this week. And it’s a sign that all is not well in Scottish football when only 16 goals are scored in the Highland League and Fort William win again. Strange days indeed…

The Monday Ballbag – Scottish football round-up

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Phew, what a relief to have good ‘ole regular football back at the weekends. I can’t be doing with international breaks, which I put in the same category as a commercial break in a really good film – annoying and totally pointless.

But it’s all business as usual as the Highland League need only three games to outscore the entire SPL in one day, George Burley is not the only manager to lose his job, and Dundee lift the first silverware of the season.

Buckie Thistle v Inverurie Loco Works

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Highland League sides Buckie Thistle and Inverurie Locos played in the first of a quickfire double header between the clubs at Victoria Park. In a tight game it was the Buckie Thistle, also known as “The Jags” who got the 3 points -- Craig Macmillan’s header on 66 minutes decided the match.

First Half

Second Half

Four days later, it would be Locos who emerged the winner in the Morrison Motors Aberdeenshire Shield when they reversed Saturday’s result to record a 2-0 victory over their Moray coast rivals (and current holders of the Shield, a competition for 9 Aberdeenshire-based teams)

Ryan Broadhurst got the Locos of to a winning start when he turned in an Andy Bisset cross at the far post, and the game was put beyond Buckie when a hotly disputed 71st minute penalty was converted by Scott Buchan. Buckie’s defender Paul Lamberton was later sent off.

Locos will play Fraserburgh for a place in the final.
