Where you do start? Pitch terrible. Should've been 4-0 us at ht. Lost poor goal right at start of 2nd half. McDonald should've been hooked after an hour then misses an open goal. Subbies were all wrong. We should've had a penalty. We need a target man & some dig. Lucky by the end.

Very slow, scrappy game in parts. Brechin parked the tattie bus, we knew that was gonna happen. They had the 1st 5 mins of the game. Then it improved.

We kept by playing down the left and thru the middle in the 1st half, leaving Stanton and Murdoch with phuck-all to do standing on the wing we their hands in their pockets, we naebody within 20 yards oe them. Phuckin waste if you ask me.

Another issue the day was our passing. To me anyway, there seemed to indecision as to who to pass to. It was evident the whole game. In some instances it cost us possession, and in others, it simply meant an otherwise promising move or opportunity was lost. Eg. Fraser has ba just to the right oe the box. He's facing the box. He could run toward the goal we the ba, or lift it in, but instead he turns awa, passes to King whas further awa fae the goal than him, and King losses the ba to the twa Brechin players right aside him. FFS.

Heard a lot of guys during the gehm sayin King was sh1te, poor, King was this, King was that, but I thought he played no bad the day, and it was a great bit of play fae him, that gave Skippy the opportunity for oor goal.

Skippy's miss 2nd half was the sickener. He seemed to be hobbling aboot for a wee while just before this? No sure if it was part oe it.

Ref was obviously consulting his rule book every 2 mins. Stopped the gehm for ages every time there was a break in play. it was him, the daft chunt, that moved the Brechin player inta the box and when uses his hand, he doesna award a penalty, and he only gets a Yella.

Shabba shoulda made the cheenges earlier. McMullan shoulda been on 10 mins before.

Be exaggerating to say Eh enjoyed the day. Chipper was shut. Brechin was like the phuckin Baltic. Run oot oe petrol on the road hame. Hands like laed.

should have had the game won by half time. Completely fell apart in the 2nd half and could have lost it.
When the games get scrappy we just dont have the players who enjoy that sort of game where the 1st divisipn is full of players  who love a tackle

Sorry beharder but first half we created nowt. Half chances yeah but very poor overall unfortunately
 

 
True we did not create many clear cut chances but im going on territorial advantage and a number of good shooting chances. Overall it was a very dissapointing  performance but i am not pre disposed to see the negative side Looking to get back on track next week.

Glad I never went. The same frailties apparent, lack of height, one up front, muscled out of the match, it seems, from folk who were there. And definitely off the top on Tuesday.

Been feeling 5h!te pat few days so never made the gem yesterday, just as well.

Anybody got player ratings or at least did any of oor players show anything positive?

 
Very few players got pass marks yesterday only Lewis Flood and Fyvie for me. For most of the game we were toothless up front.  Stanton is not a wide player King was quiet Mcdonald is not the player for a 4-1-4-1 formation. Both fullbacks struggled to provide any width.  Fraser needs somebody to run in behind he had a lot of possession but mostly square passes. Lazlo left with more questions than answers

Always fascinating ti hear how fans see the gem, 2 people eh spoke to the day both said Fraser Fyvie was poor, back to his normal slow on the bah and his passing poor tay. Food fir thought fir Csaba then.

 
ive seen Fyvie play better but he still kept making himself available for the ball particulary when the game was slipping away its easy to hide when the going gets tough. He also saved what looked like a tap in after a good save from Lewis.  Im not really one for stats but  Fyvie spends more time in possession than any one else

Dissapointing to see a a bit of pushing and shoving at the final whistle . one "fan" was shouting and pointing at Flood telling him he was a disgrace  Flood reacted by telling him to fuck off  at the point another fan telt fan 1 to shut his puss resulting in a bit of pushing and shoving and a few i'll punch your puss threats. havoc in front of the hedge not the best way to finish a bitterly cold day.

There was a wee bit oe that at the back of the stand tae Beharder. Guy left oe me was being a bit abusive during the 2nd half, then efter the final whistle - nothin major I admit. Guy 2 seats along fae me on the other side oe me tells him to shut his pus and support the team. Didna come to anythin. I'm 17 stane and take a bit oe moving and there was another fairly big guy in between us tae. Telt them to calm doon and that was the end oe it. Non-event and abody goes hame we their pus trippin them. Think it's just showing that we're ah a bit anxious and stressed oot.
 

I felt a great weight of expectation on the team on Saturday. Factor in the 5-a-side pitch, its bumpiness & Brechin's 14th experience of berry bus parking & there you have it. We needed a locksmith to unpick their 5-man door & try as Fraser & Fyvie did they just ran out of room. I knew it would be tough & not a stroll in the Glebe, Brechin have lost by more than one goal this season just twice & you can see why, ra Sellic might have struggled. Worst thing to happen was on 47 mins & that was a shit goal to lose, their guy ducked to head it in, Durnan didn't duck in unison. After that the nerves were twanging & the fans' displeasure was growing. Became more & more anxious & that was what you witnessed.

Or am I being too easy on them? A very positive reaction v Pars will go down well. But fans, PLEASE be patient, it's a marathon, not a sprint. In Chabba we trust, we've pulled the rabbit out of the hat here, keep believing.

P.S. It was pure freezin as well & Brechin are used to that & dealt with it better, open grounds don't retain any heat.
Now I am looking for too many excuses.
