one nil loss for Brechin against run away leaders Queen of the South yesterday. Supporters bus was cancelled due to lack of numbers so I popped down on the team bus. about 7 other fans traveled in cars but not too much to shout about. pretty even game and a good sign of how the team is now competing over the 90 mins under mckinnon compared to under weir.
Glebe Park resembling a swimming pool today. Inspection being carried out just now, but I think we can safely say there will be no match tomorrow

Well it was the tough game I expected being pegged back twice by a hard working Elgin. However once we went two goals clear there was only one team going to win it eventually running out 6-2 winners. Seem to be finding our feet now after a poor start in our away matches at the start of the season. Christmas round the corner and 9 points clear at the top. Can't complain.
Full fixture list in the SFL today and after another win down at middle earth......I mean stranraer Brechin are faced with the second derby fixture, this time against Forfar, in two weeks. The last time the two teams met, Brechin won comfortably 4 - 1 whilst the reverse fixture Forfar won one nil but the official of that day has since retired after failing to do anything for about 8 major incidents during the match, the majority which went against Brechin. Brechin will be missing influential players Alan Trouten after tweaking his groin down at Stranraer and Kurtis Byrne as his loan spell has ended and after being released by Ross County is going back home to Ireland to ply his trade there.
An aging Forfar side could be undone with the speed and skill of Brechin under manager Ray McKinnon with goals coming from several outlets rather than just Andy Jackson. Its a dull wet day today but the prospect of a Derby match always makes it that bit special.
Another cheeky win for the Hedgehunters scoring another four on the way and climbing up to third in the league. A forgettable first half with no real major chances for eitherside. A kick up the backside for the second half and some good flowing football and more importantly better attacking play that we've grown accustomed to under McKinnon. Two goals from midfield and two from our strikers (one scoring his first of the season). So its a happy day in Brechin today. The weekend will be a sterner test as we'll be up against an in form Alloa side sitting on place ahead of us in second.
Well the afternoons match has come and gone again. A heavy pitch at the glebe but Brechin win the tie against second place Alloa 3 - 2 although it should have been 4 - 2 but the ref awarded a free kick for an alleged foul on the keeper which was nonsense! Another win though and thats all that matters. Five points behind Alloa but with a game in hand.
BRECHIN CITY
Derek Watt, supporters club secretary, said: “Brechin fans I’ve spoken to think it’s self-serving from the few and to heck with rest by throwing them into a bottom league of 18. One positive is at least we’re back to having one league body. Hopefully that will make it easier to change if, or more likely when, the new format doesn’t work.”
Not a fan of the proposed changes then Derek?

Had a 15min chat with the 'reporter' on the phone discussing the reconstruction and implecations then he printed whatever he felt like. To be fair if I was as lazy as that guy was at his job id be sacked within a week but journalism is one of those careers where you can produce crap and get a promotion!
So you're not a fan then of the new 12-12-18 or are you?
the league reconstruction is a load of crap, combining SPL and SFL to have one governing body is progress though.
Two weeks running games being cancelled for me due to inclement weather! Glebe park covered in 9 inches of snow so not really much hope for a match. Ah well, time to finish off the Supporters Club new shop website thing instead
