The Rock, 12/12/09

I take the goals against predictor off for one league game and what happens?

We revert to early season type.

And it allowed Peterhead to climb above us on goal difference even though they lost.

Methinks the cup games have been too much of a distraction.

We’ve now got two difficult games against top four opponents to come. I’m not looking forward to them at all.

So: do we need to score four on Tuesday night to get a win? (A draw will be a good result.)

*Edited to add:-
Thanks to onebrow for letting me know I originally had the score wrong. (0-1. Must have been wishful thinking.)

The Rock, 8/12/09

Another welcome home win and it takes us above Peterhead to the dizzy heights of fifth.

It was a good result as they have an excellent record against us at our place; and at theirs come to that. (That link will be updated with last night’s result sometime I presume.)

It was probably a hairy second half, with only one goal as a cushion.

The club website says the penalty was dodgy. We’ll take it, though.

Balmoor Stadium, 26/9/09

Following on from last week I was going to start this week’s DFC post, “….with a blunt razor. It’ll be less excruciating than this.” But then we go and win away.

You just can’t trust anyone these days.

Seriously, though, well done the lads and to Jim Chapman for bringing on Stevie Murray and Derek Carcary who got the goals.

I followed this one on the videprinter as I was at Onebrow’s. He’d been watching the F1 qualifying and kept the TV on. Stevie Murray’s equaliser was a mild surprise but we’ve been losing quick goals in those circumstances so to see Del’s last minute goal come up was a fantasy. Then it was full time and Clyde had been beaten. Off the bottom; magic.

So, instead of existential gloom, I’ve spent the last 24 hours in a state of (no doubt misplaced) euphoria. It’s a welcome feeling.

But it’s only one win.

We’ve got the league leaders next week. If we can get something out of that, then I might begin to feel a corner has been turned.
