Must be.....

 

Shame we can't have a bottom play off like the champions of Highland/Lowland league to find the worst team.

 

Reading the non league forums Hawick Royal Albert currently bottom in the Lowland League are shockingly bad and unlikely to claim many points this season.

 

Would be the ultimate race to the bottom.....

Cue much nashing of teeth on the Forts Facebook page.

 

Looks like the nature of this defeat has shocked the locals as well.

Aye, well - it'll save on losing money paying for travel to a round two tie, eh?

Misspelling of Vale of Leithen. Sorry. 

You're right. But as the other half only spent £2 on the ladders I'll forgive the maker from eBay :)

Ahhh shit :(

 

GAME OFF ... INJURY-HIT SQUAD

Due to a high number of player injuries, the Club are not in a position to field a Team for tonight's North of Scotland FA Challenge Cup game against Forres Mechanics - this unfortunately means that we have to forfeit the game.

Attempts have been made to draft in replacements to allow the game to go ahead but without success.  Cup rules dictate that a player cannot take part in the tie without being Registered so this prevents us from using Trialists on this occasion.

Apologies to all our Supporters.

Good luck to our opponents, Forres Mechanics, for the remainder of the Competition.

I remember  getting an English leagues one free with shoot magazine and updating it with the Sunday paper despite having no interest in football. Guess I just like lists.

Same here. Boyfriend was most confused when I asked for them.

 

But it kills 30mins every Sunday morning. And avoids the 'we're in bed let's have woopie' situation.

 

Works even better when there's midweek games. The 'I've a headache' excuse was wearing thin.

 

Still that's long term relationships for you... 

 

Just wish the Fort would win. Those extra seconds moving that tab would be most welcome :D

Re the "apologies to all our supporters" bit... it might have been a nice touch if they took an extra couple of minutes and named all 16 of us.

Fair play for not allowing the Mechanics to travel, then calling off.

They've got enough fit players to count as a squad, then?

Tell ya what, if DL Con goes down a treat next year perhaps we ought to give due consideration to making the 2019 meet at Fort Williams ground for a pie and a pint.

I'm sure our support would help it achieve its largest attendance since somebody accidentally stated that the club house would be serving free whisky to all back in 1954, or summat.

Plus, isn't the wettest place in the Isles?

 

Which given your love of that mythical yellow thing in the sky that I hear tales of, make the Fort an unlikely destination for you.....
