If you are at the Cove game, then you are taking part in a historical moment as this is the first competitive game the Broch have played on a Sunday. I have checked my records and as far as I know this is the first ever Sunday match. We have had numerous friendly matches on Sunday’s but never a competitive one. Our last two games haven’t been the best as far as results go boardroom “that’s why we’re champions” after an injury but it is hardly the crisis that some might have you believe. Yes, time equaliser. I am certain had it been an earlier goal then the Keith match was disappointing and despite having plenty of it wouldn’t have happened but that isn’t the point. It was attacks we couldn’t seem to get our shots on target. You have horrific to witness and I lost all respect for a few guys that days like that but you have to credit Keith for the way they night. My granny always said to treat people how you defended and took the opportunities that were presented to wanted to be treated yourself and you can’t go far wrong. them. The Brora match was different in that we were well Coming from New Pitsligo she was never short of a few beaten by a very good side. They were extremely professional in words but they were always worth listening to. the way they played and were clinical in their finishing. A six nil defeat would suggest defensive shambles but that really wasn’t The two opposing Chairman over the festive period, Keith the case. I don’t think they had many more chances than they Moorhouse and Dennis Bridgeford along with Eddie Innes and scored with but that is in no way trying to suggest we were Sandy Stables are my closest friends in Highland League unlucky. They looked really impressive and if they play like that football and we are all passionate supporters of our clubs. for the remainder of the season they will in all probability win We wouldn’t be involved if we weren’t and we all feel it the league. when things aren’t going our way on the park. I turned to these guys a lot during my presidency of the league and am Once thing I will say is that the way Brora handled themselves in enjoying my first Christmas for three years without the victory was very refreshing. Back to that professional word pressure of that but I would like to take this opportunity to again, that is what they were. I have no problem with teams thank them for their support. I hope I am able to give them celebrating wildly when they win as that is part of the the same in return. enjoyment but it has to be done with a degree of respectability for the opposition. All teams, us included, have been guilty of I would like to finish by thanking all our fans, sponsors, over celebrating at some point as football is a passionate game advertisers and volunteers for their continued support over and it is easy to get caught up in the moment but once you are the past twelve months and hope that 2016 is a successful showered and out of the dressing room that’s where it should year for all of us. end. Rubbing people’s noses in it is not on.

Entitled ‘Scotland: Epistles, Bullshit and Thistles’ managers unwittingly shaped his footballing life going from the the magazine for Autumn 2015 is Issue 3 and I have to say every manager of Scotland when he first saw them, Tommy Docherty mag so far has been nothing short of superb as Scotland fans through to the fair-haired one now in charge. The waxing lyrical reflect on their experiences or air their views on subjects relating he does about his favourite boss, Ally MacLeod, is one highlight to the national side. These articles have been witty, interesting of some brilliant writing – wish I was as talented! and thought provoking in every issue so far (back copies can be ‘Between A Rock And A Hard Place’ – Scott Cockburn reflects found on e-bay, as will this issue probably) and the latest on the match against Gibraltar, a no win situation for the Scots rendition is no different. Before reflecting on all that I urge every against a country, as he says, is the size of Wishaw but the main Scotland fan out there to track down this magazine for that could gist of the fascinating article is the problem with ‘minnows’ be crucial to its survival and, trust me, you will not be playing in international competitions and the problems Scotland disappointed! The cover of the latest mag depicts various album have had against them! stickers of Scotland players over the years (relates to article ‘Hanging Around: Georgia 2007’ – In this article Kevin Donnelly inside) but below that the legend says it all – ‘The third in a short reflects on the first visit to Georgia in 2007 and the feeling is that series of unofficial, but highly collectable souvenirs for Scotland despite the result (Scotland lost 0-2 in that stupid kit albeit that is supporters produced in tandem with a successful Euro 2016 positively brilliant compared to the fruit salad away strip of now!) qualifying campaign…Oh God please’. it was a memorable trip for him and I can assure you it is a bit of an eye-opener. Edited by Robert Marshall (of Dark Blue Anorak Productions) the ‘Back To The Sixties’ – Here the aforementioned David Stuart balance of stimulating reading and humour is there from start to reflects on Scotland’s record in the ‘swinging sixties’. It was a finish in a series of brilliant articles. The magazine has had some time that is reflected as being a ‘golden era’ of great players and notable supporters viz this part of the Foreward by the Ed, which great Scotland teams (probably because of some results v instantly gave me the first of many chuckles when reading the England, 67 anyone?!) and yet, as he astutely points out, in that mag.
