obviously went into the playoff against Edinburgh City obviously they managed to avoid having to play low league opposition due to the shenanigans down there but then defeating in the playoff final to Edinburgh how big a disappointment was that for Barora I mean some cynics will maybe suggest that Barora don't actually really want to come up but how would you take that?

Well, that's something that has hung over Broda ever since the first time they were involved in the Pyramid Playoff, where somebody who was to do with the club expressed his fear about, like, the travelling, and at that time, on and off the pitch, there was a few things where they maybe weren't already, but right now, make no mistake, Brora, if the chance is there to be a Scottish League club, are all in, really want to go for it.

And that playoff defeat was a huge... disappointment for them because the way it panned out like it was a it was a very good opportunity because obviously usually you have to win two ties but the only one Lithgow Rose weren't in it so they'd only the one tie to win and in the first half of the the game at Dudgeon Park they played you know Edinburgh City looked very nervy and looked like a team that's under pressure and Brewer played well and they were in front and they probably should have had a second goal and then they lost quite a poor equaliser just before half-time and then that kind of the momentum flipped in the second half they never really rediscovered the sort of fluency they had in the first period and then away from home at Meadowbank Edinburgh sort of burst out of the blocks a couple of early goals and then Broda as much as they sort of had plenty of pressure second half they could never really get that goal which might have sort of sparked a dramatic finish and it was a real I think it was a real frustration one because of the opportunity but two because they came away from it sort of feeling particularly the second leg like they hadn't shown a sort of true account of how good a side they are on their day but I'm interested even now coming into this season to see how they are because From the end of last season, as we sit here now, there has been a fair bit of change within their squad.

I know there's bits and pieces going on in the background and by the time the game on Tuesday comes around and we'll leave a game Saturday as well, there'll be more players I would imagine will have come in the door.

But right now, as we sit here, the only... two signed defenders that are fit and available on their books are Ross Draper and Sam Nixon so like they're probably looking for a couple defensively because like the last season they've lost but one Michael Finnis has gone to Clough Mark Nicholson who's been a real stalwart retired Colin Williamson another sort of bro or a legend been there a long time he's out injured and things so there's like and Alex Cooper who's the son of Neil Cooper, Gothenburg.

He's taking a wee break for football, I believe, at the moment as well.

He's a left-back, Alex.

So a lot of these things always tend towards the back end of the window.
