With the fixtures drying up and a fairly fruitless search for new opposition I turned to the ever faithful Richie from Teuchters if they would fancy a match. Despite the fact their previous three games had been against us they kindly obliged to keep us in games. The games close proximity to our showpiece fixture [...]

Psychological Psychology 20/2/2009
It has suddenly become evident to me just how important psychology is in sport. When there is a massive collision between the faeces and the fan and everyone is losing their head around you its pretty difficult to pick 10 other people up off the floor, both physically and mentally. I’ve been pretty pensive since [...]

Match Report vs Musselburgh Baptist FC (AKA The God Squad) 17/2/2009
After the news that pitches were unplayable for Monday the 16th and were extremely doubtful for the Wednesday I was somewhat concerned that by 4pm yesterday I hadn’t been told the game was off. Despite all this doubt we went ahead, probably due to the peculiar good weather we were gifted with. The pitch was [...]

A Big Parcel of Jiggery Pokery Wrapped In Red Tape 16/2/09
Howdy, after the afforementioned unprecedented levels of snow and no phonecall from the Brunton regarding a cancellation I grew curious and decided to drop them a line. Peculiarly I wasn’t put on hold at any stage and wasn’t forced to listen to some utter trash on repeat and my call was answered promptly. I asked [...]

Stormy Weather 12/2/2009

Match Report 1/2/2009 vs Teuchters FC
With the threat of snow looming large over the picturesque sea pitch at Fisherrow I arrived with the thought of a pitch in hellish condition lurking at the back of my mind. With the council giving us the rare green light, pending an ‘early’ inspection by the club, I got down there just after 6 [...]

Last Minute Teuchterage
All hail Richie! In a record breaking 24 hours Richie has managed to whip together a Teuchters squad willing to fire down to Fisherrow tomorrow for a game against us. Another last minute hero to be hailed is Chris ‘Community’ Muir as despite the outrageously short notice he is willing to come along and officiate [...]

Update on the Update
After spending most of today on the phone to the greater and the good of every Amateur football league in South East Scotland trying to chase us a place in the league I was left exhausted and disappointed. Firstly exhausted at the, not one, not two, not three, but six people I was passed to [...]

VAFC vs Teuchters FC round two
After a slight stinging in our first ever game against the boys from Teuchters it seemed only right to select them for another game after our match against The Witchery Tours was called off by the nanny state due to an ‘unplayable pitch’. This was a factor to rear its ugly head on Wednesday of [...]
