Not going well for Stenny

Two down at half time in first leg 

Elgin look like they're struggling having conceded four at home against Annan to trail 2-4.

 

Surprised by the Elgin score as they have been decent the couple of times I have seen them.

City better team tonight agains East Fife and probably should be more ahead than the 1-0 they are.East Fife are a hard watch. Route one for most of game. To close to call with the second leg to come in Methill. 
 

Can’t remember if I have said before but Meadowbank is an awful place to watch football. Running track means you are miles from action and  flat standing doesn’t give you any hight to improve the view. Stand is only 3 rows so not much better.

What a couple of games Inter and Barca have served up in this semi final.

Breathtaking stuff 

Only saw last 5 minutes of normal time then extra time but looks like it was some game. 
 

PSG v Inter could be a great final.

Jesus, that looks horrific.

I assume that spectators are all in the stand running the length of the pitch

With my old eyes, I'd need binoculars to watch from behind the goals

You'd get a great view of the 400m race though

Not really Rico, wouldn't be able to see the track at the other end of the ground

Looking like all English final in Europa league Spurs 2-0 up and Man U drawing 1-1.

Back in the early 2000s, me and a couple of mates tried to get a "Meadowbank ... wank wank wank! Meadowbank  ... wank wank wank" chant going at Almondvale to piss off the Livi fans. Chant didn't catch on

There are a few of the old Meadowbank fans involved at Edinburgh City. Most of them did not follow the team to Livingston as they were totally against the move. Some had even been banned by the then chairman for protests about the move and a couple who even now refuse to set foot in Almondvale.

I stand to be wrong but I can't see past Airdrie for those playoffs. Stenny have struggled recently, Cove had a bad patch for a couple of weeks but ended a bit better and Queen of the South have been great in the last quarter of the season but I think Airdrie will have too much for any of them. As someone with family in Dumfries and who goes to see Queens if they're at home while we're visiting, that's a pity!

Just seen this. Stenny were actually really good on Saturday and I hoped that would spark belief. 

However two minutes in it was clear that Airdrie were a cut above. Some real quality play, they were sharp and slick. 

Nobody in the playoffs is touching them. I'm away this weekend which might be good as I can only see a greater defecit coming.
