Caley Mad In Berks

An away trip to Buckie in my childhood still holds fond memories for me too.  It was the first 'away' match I'd been to outside of Inverness, and I travelled on the bus with the Caley team.  Can you imagine how exciting that was for a youngster?  It came about because an elder sister of mine was friendly with a sister of Donnie (Ginger) McKenzie, one of Caley's stars at the time.  I don't remember anything about the match, but I recall the bus stopping in Forres on the way home for the team to go into a bar.  I had to stay on the bus, but was well provided for with crisps and lemonade.  Happy days!  'Ginger' became a great hero of mine, and in later years, a friend, after he had emigrated to Canada, where I visited him (and his family) in Winnipeg on a couple of occasions.

All over, 1-1.  A lot better in second half.

Doran off.  He had done nothing anyway,  even before his head knock.  Let's hope Kennedy can show us some magic.

I hadn't noticed his absence, as I've had him on 'ignore' for years!

Ah well, nearly!  Hearts had it in their grasp for a minute or so, but not to be.

The driver could be warming up the taxi!   Cup final going to extra time.  Come on Hearts, snatch a winner in E/T or win on penalties to drive the final nail in Lennon's coffin, and make my Xmas.

Well, that was a game of two halves all right. We looked fairly comfortable first half, but when Alloa came at us in the second half with a much more direct approach, we had no answer and all our defensive frailties came flooding back.  Very disappointing. We'll be lucky to make the top play offs at this rate.

That has been coming.  Alloa much better this half.  I couldn't see what exactly happened. Did Ridgers fumble it?

ffs That's two needless free kicks given away by McGregor in the last few minute.  Get a grip lads.

My picture hung several times in first few minutes. Then seemed to settle down.  Commentary totally useless. 

Re the game, lots of good possession Would like us to create a few more decent chances,  Ridgers kicking worries me. More often than not he either finds an Alloa player, or it goes straight into touch

Let's hope for another goal or two and a safe away win.

Anyone else having trouble? My picture keeps stopping.

I'm in. Seems to be  OK

Yes, disappointment is the main thing I feel after that game.  I guess it could have gone either way, but I thought we just edged it.  Poor goal to give away for Dundee's equaliser. Not a great spectacle as a game. Very niggly throughout.  I thought the Dundee players greatly exaggerated their many injuries (especially in the first half).  We created more chances I think, and their keeper was the busier of the two throughout.

Need to do better in our next outings to keep in touch with the top of the table,

David Raven red carded today (12/12) for Marine.  Hope the resulting suspension does not preclude him from facing Spurs in the Cup game in 3 week's time.

That'll do nicely.  Now, hold on lads.

Get in.  Now for the winner please.

For someone with Storey's experience, he is caught out offside far too often for my liking!

OK now on about 4th or fifth try

Generic error for me too so far

And tonight, 8 Dec), Zachary Elbouzedi scored his first goal since joining Lincoln City.

Two for Nathan Austin for Kelty today as well, and Danny Williams has scored his first in a very long time for Halifax.
