| 1. Author: Stanza Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 00:15 Brora v Brechin this evening (Wednesday) in what could be quite a match. Brechin are league leaders by 3 points, but a win for Brora will give them the lead on GD. Then it will be down to the final match, with Brora away to Huntly and Brechin away to Turriff. I would like to see Brechin back in the SPFL, but if they don`t make it this year it could get even harder in future, as they will move to the new Lowland League set-up from next season. _________________  Support Dunfermline Athletic Disabled Supporters` Club (DADSC) when you shop online with one of 8000 firms: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/dadsc[Post Edited (Wed 08 Apr 00:26) Reply |

| 5. Author: neils Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 20:04 Was it not the Wee team? Aye, I think Brechin never recovered, they just kept on losing, once you are in freefall it`s hard to stop.Cowdenbeath were on a permanent slide, unfortunately these teams have too small a support to throw money at it It`s a cracking club and a good away day, but it`s hard to see them in the league again, they don`t have the biggest of supports. I would like to see one automatic relegation from the league and one play off. Reply |
| 6. Author: pars no1 Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 20:24 living up north i can highly recommend taking in a game or 2 if you get a chance. some cracking games usually full of goals. mixed with the odd drab 0-0 like most leagues. Reply |
| 7. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 21:19 Brora currently leading 1-0 with about half an hour to go. Reply |

| 9. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 21:54 2-1 to Brora FT. Winner in added time after Brechin were reduced to 10 men. Brechin captain is Euan Spark. Did he not have a spell at the Pars? Reply |
| 10. Author: neils Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 21:55 Pars 1 aye I`ve seen quite a bit of the Highland league over the years, I`ve got a mate who lives in Banff, so whenever I go up, we see as many games as possible, really good grounds, social clubs etc. Been to Peterhead a fair bit too, a really great club. I`ve never seen a bad game, and the Buckie v Vale is a really good derby, big crowds too . People forget when they were saying it was unfair when Brechin were 2nd and couldn`t enter the playoffs that the Highland league is a good league in its own right, there`s not many teams want to play in the Scottish league. There`s real honour in winning the Highland league - who would have thought a team from Sutherland would win it? Reply |

| 12. Author: Stanza Date: Wed 8th Apr 2026. 22:50 Brora now strong favourites to win the title, level on points with a Goal Difference advantage of 4, and a Goals Scored advantage of 19. Both teams should win their final game, but Brechin need to better Brora`s score by at least 5 to be champions. _________________ Support Dunfermline Athletic Disabled Supporters` Club (DADSC) when you shop online with one of 8000 firms: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/dadsc[Reply |
| 13. Author: Par-timer Date: Thu 9th Apr 2026. 09:02 Not a great 30th birthday last night for Lewis Martin, who rejoined Brechin in Feb and was playing for them yesterday. Another ex-Par, Brad McKay was also playing for City, who are managed by Andy Kirk. Reply |
| 14. Author: Stanza Date: Sat 11th Apr 2026. 11:25 Level on points and with a 4 goal advantage, Brora are firm favourites for the title today, and it`s likely that Brechin will lose out on goal difference - if so, I think that will be the third year in a row! I saw this post elsewhere: "With the action happening in Huntly and Turriff, I’ve dubbed it “Tractor Saturday”…. with the trophy possibly sitting in a Massey Ferguson somewhere around Aberchirder" _________________ Support Dunfermline Athletic Disabled Supporters` Club (DADSC) when you shop online with one of 8000 firms: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/dadsc[Reply |
