Topic: Highland League
1. Author: Stanza Date: Mon 15th Apr 2024. 02:40 If you want an exciting end to a league campaign and can`t engage with the megaclubs in England or the Old Firm in Scotland, you could do worse than look at the Highland League - 2 games to go and any one of 3 teams could still win it. Brechin P 32, GD 60, Pts 75 Fraserburgh P 32, GD 52, Pts 72 Buckie P31, GD 51, Pts 72 Personally, I`m torn - the Broch is my family`s ancestral town, but I like Brechin as a club, so I hope they get another crack at restoring their SPFL status. However, Buckie have 2 games against bottom club Strathspey and will rack up cricket scores, while Brechin have 2 difficult away fixtures. If I were betting, my money would be on Buckie. _________________ Support Dunfermline Athletic Disabled Supporters` Club (DADSC) when you shop online with one of 7000 firms: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/dadsc[ Reply

4. Author: StevenPar77 Date: Mon 15th Apr 2024. 18:07 Hahaha! I can`t believe it has been two years, clearly ignored last season, and concentrated on the Oars party in the seaside league. http://www.agiftfor.net Reply

7. Author: OzPar Date: Tue 16th Apr 2024. 06:04 It reminds me of the old Billy Connolly joke... Deveronvale fans start a chant: "Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate?" " D... E... V... E... R... O... oh feck it... BANFF!!!" :) Reply
8. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 16th Apr 2024. 06:38 Buckie beat Strathspey 6-1 last night so they are now level on points with Brechin whose goal difference is superior by 4 goals with two games to go. Reply

10. Author: pars no1 Date: Tue 16th Apr 2024. 11:15 It went to the last game last season when Brechin beat Buckie. I can see both teams winning their last 2 games and it coming down to how many goals Buckie can score tomorrow night. Buckie have been hampered with their pitch this season. It has been waterlogged for most of this year and have had 7-8 games to catch up on playing tues-sat every week. They have been having to use Lossiemouth’s pitch most weeks including a last minute switch v Brora after a last minute downpour. They have gotten lucky with the last 3 fixtures but could have easily been in the driving seat if they never had so many to carry h up on. Brechin’s recent form has let them down losing away to both Buckie and Fraserburgh which has let Buckie off the hook. A lot of Brechin fans fear losing on goal difference. Either way I can’t see either side beating East Kilbride in the playoff. They will be too strong and will play the league 2 side in my opinion. Reply
11. Author: Stanza Date: Tue 16th Apr 2024. 11:27 Livingston Par, Tue 16 Apr 08:26 I fancy Buckle. Two easier games left. Agreed. East Kilbride awaits. Buckie are away to Strathspey tomorrow and at home to Keith on Saturday - they should win both games and significantly improve their GD against Strathspey. Brechin are away to Keith tonight and then away to Brora. They might not even win both games, but even if they do, it may not be enough to beat Buckie`s GD. Fraserburgh have two home matches (Brora and Strathspey) but it`s unlikely that both the teams above them will slip up. _________________ Support Dunfermline Athletic Disabled Supporters` Club (DADSC) when you shop online with one of 7000 firms: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/dadsc[ Reply

14. Author: Stanza Date: Wed 17th Apr 2024. 23:54 1985Par, Wed 17 Apr 23:02 Buckie’s to lose now after they won 7-0 tonight. Yep, Buckie 2 ahead of Brechin on Goal Difference, and 9 ahead on Goals Scored. All down to the final matches, but Buckie are clear favourites. But if Buckie and Brechin both lose, and Fraserburgh win by 8 or 9 goals, then Fraserburgh will be champions. Don`t bet on it, though. _________________ Support Dunfermline Athletic Disabled Supporters` Club (DADSC) when you shop online with one of 7000 firms: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/dadsc[ Post Edited (Wed 17 Apr 23:54) Reply

16. Author: Stanza Date: Sun 21st Apr 2024. 01:04 So it`s Buckie Thistle v East Kilbride for the right to play the bottom SPFL club for a place in League Two next season. buckie thistle win highland league on final day - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68865926 Congratulations to Buckie, winning six games in 13 days shows they deserved it. But it`s a shame for Brechin and Fraserburgh - IMO either would have added more to the SPFL than either Buckie or East Kilbride. _________________ Support Dunfermline Athletic Disabled Supporters` Club (DADSC) when you shop online with one of 7000 firms: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/dadsc[ Reply

18. Author: jojo Date: Sun 21st Apr 2024. 12:15 I suspect the majority will be looking for an EK victory as most clubs would prefer the location of EK rather than the expense of travel to Buckie which is a real pain of a journey to get to . That’s assuming they get past Club42 right enough Reply
19. Author: veteraneastender Date: Sun 21st Apr 2024. 14:25 Travel is equally an issue from Buckie`s perspective - most away games involve significant distances. Stranraer obviously the farthest - 560 miles round trip. Peterhead, (their second closest road trip) also still in contention for promotion - they`d prefer them to stay in League 2, rather than Annan or Queen of the South to come down to replace them.
