Paul Lawson

I mean, I might have called it, what, five games involving Highland League teams did go ahead, but, well, one of them started and then didn't finish and another one was called off.

All right, well, the biggest takeaway from this is people, to me, and I say this slightly tongue-in-cheek, but people that say that AstroTurf, you know, is the cure of all football's ills and, you know, you never get a game off on AstroTurf and, you know, it can be a monsoon and you'll get a game played on AstroTurf, they would have needed to have seen Broadwood on Saturday because Banksidee against Cumbernauld Colts abandoned with about 12 minutes to go due to a waterlogged pitch and Paul Lawson said afterwards that even before the game with the rain there was an area of the park where there was water lying and he was like they should have upped Bode's particularly well and then when the downpour came on in the second half with a score of 3-2 to Cumbernauld, it was game off.

Eventually, although I was told the referee initially said it was abandoned and teams were inside, players in the shower, and then he was like, oh, well, it's maybe...

Clearing up, I'll give it five more minutes.

Lossie 0, Bankside East 6 was really interesting because Lossie, after a great performance and result to beat Bucky 4-2 in midweek, Martin Charlesworth said Saturday was their worst performance of the season.

But on the flip side, Paul Lawson felt it was the best Bankside he had played in a long, long time and Fraser started to finish excellent and Four goals for Grady McGrath, which also opens up this top scorer race, makes it quite interesting.

In all competitions, you've James Anderson, 22, Grady, 21.

In the league, James Anderson, 16, Grady McGrath, 18.

You know, it's another...

I kind of lost last week but it's a positive step in the season for Strathspey and I know it's still early but like right now they're through in the Scottish Cup they're still in the North of Scotland Cup they've Highland League Cup first round to come as well and they're doing well in the league so as Aaron Dorn was making a point after was like sort of competing on a few fronts and it's like you want to keep that going and try and sort of keep the feel good factor going as long as you can and then the last team I mentioned got through there's going the distance and then there's aye I think to our length of time it was dragging on Banks maybe considering booking a hotel overnight Kirk and Tillich and coming back on the Sunday but they beat Kirk and Tillich Rob Roy away the home 9-8 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in most interesting probably Paul Lawson and Josh Winton sort of channeling a bit their inner Louis van Gaal in the build up to the penalty shootout but he did it mind the World Cup changed the goalie I think was it Tim Cooley put on changed the goalie and Holland got through well banks of D on Saturday and extra time Matthew Duncan came off, Daniel Holbein went on and he came up trumps and then because they were after Liam Jewell had a penalty saved, Kirk and Tillich had a penalty to knock Banks-Adee out, Holbein saved it back on level terms through sudden death.

One goes over the bar, Ramsay Davidson converts Banks-Adee's 10th penalty to send them through.

And after, you know, Paul Lawson said afterwards Banks-Adee didn't really play well.

on the day it was a bit of a grind but you know in the end we've got through and i was laughing because i did so i did ask like was that goalkeeper move pre-planned he said no no but he goes so i got down to it and with a sub left and we thought just i see let's see what happens a bit of fun as much as anything else but no it worked It might not have been so

much fun, but he'd gone the other way.
