Deprived of cup interest in a replay by Newton Stewart today. I can't confirm the rumour that Newton Stewart's line-up comprises nine local men and a couple of stray sheep; but - trust me - this counts as a giant killing by the standards of the lowly south west Scotland outfit and a notably bleak day in Fort's less than stellar history.

Today's fixture and planned open day has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch. Bummer.

It looks like the introduction of the Lowland League has produced a rival to the Fort. Selkirk sit abottom of the pile with - like the Fort - a single point (gained at the start of the season with a 1-1 draw with Threave Rovers). Subsequent tankings have included being thumped 9-1. Just an idea, like...Selkirk and Fort William might usefully play off for The Crap Cup at the end of the season, in a 90 minute nail-biter of mistimed tackles, skied sitters, inept passing and athletically challenged action that'll make youtube gold and attract ironic sponsorship for next season.

Wick Academy 8 - Fort William 1. I think Gary Weir scored all 8 goals.

PB, I'm on the edge of my seat man! The BBC website is showing their nail-biting 6 pointer against Rothes pegged at 4-4 and a latest score.

 

How did it end?

 

Edit - seen the result now. Fantastic Fort fightback from 4-1 down to score three without reply in the final 29 mins and secure a point.

And league progress (or cutting one point off the gap at least). Goal difference of -50 is only one worse than second bottom.

 

Great days for the Fort!

Somewhat spunked away the game in hand over second bottom, then.

 

9-0 hammering and now showing a goal difference of -59 after 19 games.

 

Onwards and - ermm - well, onwards anyway.

Why is BBC Sport still showing 0-0 as a latest score at this time? Was the game abandoned, did the floodlights fail, or summat?

Wrong sort of flood maybe.
