Elgin Preview & Report

From an old Caley Animal

Johndo's Preview

Nostalgia lives on............after a Slade concert

from the preview.............

"And who can recall scraps bursting out on a Friday or Saturday night at the Caley ballroom, the Keppoch, the Nairn Ballerina, the Two Red Shoes and even the Strath – there was only one or two places that I can ever recall the Staigo and the Caley joining forces to take on a venerable army of tinks – and the second was a surreal Beach barbeque after a Slade concert in Nairn in 1970."

Tremendous work, you great overgrown ned. I'll have the scarf round the wrist in tribute tomorrow - and Shang-a-lang on the stereo...

One issue. The Jaggies did not 'sneak it' in 86-87 - we feckin romped it.

[Alex MacLeod]

If you want to be a Jaggie when you die

You must wear a Jaggy shirt and Jaggie tie

You must wear a Jaggy bunnet

With I hate Caley Hellgin on it

If you want to be a Jaggy when you die

Good bit of nostalgia there Johndo.

It makes you realise how the events that culminated in Culloden might have arisen....

McKenzie was there too

[tm4tj]

I heard he missed the battle as he was still in the Keppoch getting sozzled on that tattie juice and coke.

"although it would be mostly their backs and running styles that I could ever remember" Brilliant

[CaleyD]

Is it safe for me to look at what's been permitted in the preview?

Just hope it's not in vain having looked outside and seen about an inch of fresh snow on the ground!!!

I heard he missed the battle as he was still in the Keppoch getting sozzled on that tattie juice and coke.

And he's still bitter that the Duke of Cumberland owes him a double.

[Iain]

Ahh bugger, after psyching myself up last nioght reading this the roads are too bad to make it through. Buggger.

[SMEE]

Im pretty gutted about not making it along to this one.In fact....id much rather have made it along to this game than any League game. Ah well, it canna be helped. As per usual....my kids come first. Does anyone know if this game is on MFR or anywhere?

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Post Match Preview:

Well on the pitch today was just like off the pitch in the 70's / 80's - Elgin come in numbers, talk the talk, look up fer the fight, hang on fer grim death against a superior firm, but bottle it in the end and all ya can see is their beaten erses and buses scurrying way down the A96 after yet another "whipping".
