Strathspey

On a different sort of language, and after the success of last week's wordplay, I've got another one for you this week.

which resulted from last Saturday afternoon when, in the Scottish Cup, I was most amused to hear Herr Chapman reading out the score of Strathspey Thistle.

Breakin' and

Strathspey Thistle have gone into extra time.

They're level at 2-0.

And that made me wonder whether there are any tongue twisters like that In world football.

I don't think there'll be a trickier one than Strathspey Thistle.

Strathspey...

They felt it was a penalty referee.

Scott White apparently said there was contact but it wasn't enough to justify a penalty but Greg Moyer understandably had a different view to that he felt it was a penalty but they didn't get it and aside from that I think he was just of the view that like Turriff when they had good spells in that game they didn't really capitalise in terms of scoring and then that probably cost them in the end and for now although Wayne wasn't you know overjoyed by the performance in the last seven league games I think they've only lost once so they're you know in a decent or it's maybe actually an eight in fact rather than seven but it certainly feels like it's almost a turning point in their season in terms of the league form for that heavy defeat against Clough they've certainly picked up and you know they've put a decent wee run together since then and then the other game was Friday night under the lights at Seafield Park Strathspey Thistle 2 Lossiemouth 2 and to use one of my favourite cliches I thought this was a bit of a game of two halves really because Strathspey had the better of it first half in front through Robbie Thompson maybe had moments I could have made more of in terms of looking for a second goal but after the break I thought Lossie were very good and they came right back in and let Dean Stewart equalise Liam Harvey put them ahead and I think the only disappointment for them would be that that was in the 82nd minute but They didn't manage to hold that lead and within a minute, Sean Morrison had restored parity again.

But certainly for Lossie, after losing 6-0 against Banksy the week before, that was a much better display and a good reaction to that.

And so I showed it was just a one-off, a bit of a bad day at the office.

Okay, let's go back through then the weekend results in the Breeding Highland League.

Okay, but look at Strathspey, though.

Okay.

Yeah,

But yeah, there's also a spirit specifically called Brownie.

In legends from Strathspey, he has a wife called Meg Mullock.

And Brownie, there's stories about him coming to help people play cards and win things at gambling.

Meg Mullock is a kind of defender of men's rights.
