A Son of the Rock

SFL Div 2, Excelsior Stadium, 01/02/11

Well. Away goals from open play are obviously like buses. You wait all season for one and then two arrive in the one game. According to Pie and Bovril it ought to have been more. Still that makes two monkeys off our backs now since it was our first away win.

It had to be two goals though. I quote from the club’s website. “However, with 11 minutes to go the Sons keeper made a rash challenge with his feet and Airdrie’s Ryan McCord sent him the wrong way with the resulting penalty.”

Pity he only got a yellow card. If he’d been sent off he couldn’t play at Alloa.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record… I watched the Brechin highlights on Sons TV and Grindlay came, and didn’t claim, the cross for their first, and failed to get down for their second.

There’s a possibility we could move off the bottom on Saturday (since East Fife aren’t playing.) As that possibility exists it will not, of course, happen. I refuse to be optimistic.
