Bad day at both offices

This has been a pretty good week for your blogger.Walking up the High Street in Lanark on Thursday morning got chatting to a goal scoring hero for the blues from 1989 till 1992,none other than Colin’Rusty’Harkness.Sadly more baldy than rusty these days but still had a good blether about his time at Stair Pk.Had arranged to meet him on the Friday for an interview for the excellent Its no Easy podcast,but work prevented him from doing so,although he does work with the council,not often work and council are mentioned in the same sentence🤫I digress and today the  blues travelled through to deepest Fife to play East Fife on a plastic surface,to be fair probably one of the best of its kind in the lower leagues.I was met with the news that concessions for the game were an entrance fee of 12 pounds,the highest in League 1 by some distance🤬🤬Sat in the lounge with Grant Anderson’s dad,Mr Anderson funnily enough,and said Grant had recovered from a virus which ruled him out of last week’s game against Raith,so another selection option for the Gaffer.This New Bayview Stadium must be one of the coldest in Scotland,in fact it makes Gayfield seem like Benidorm😲The first half would have actually have got football stopped,but to be fair the wind made it a bit of a lottery at times.The only big chance in the first 45 fell to the aforementioned Grant Anderson when a free header from 6 yds neither tested the Keeper or hit the net and it was a big chance.Sadly for the blues as per last Saturday,we didn’t came out of the blocks early doors and the Fifers raced into an early lead(did you see what I did there)on 48 Pat Slattery opened the scoring for the homesters.Funnily enough this led to Stranraer's best spell and Kyle Turner being watched by 2 Scottish Championship sides today did his progress no harm by slamming in the leveller on 54.Really both sides had chances to get in front,but up stepped ref Mr Barry Cook or his Lino to give East Fife an Imaginary corner on 89,you guessed right they scored.Then on 93 the boy goes down quicker than Monica Lewinsky,mr Cook buys it big time,and Cook now has me at boiling point and guess what they scored,surprise,surprise😡A good job her indoors wasn’t about as I vented my spleen at Cook on the final whistle,these things even themselves out or so they say,try telling that to the Stranraer players after horrendous decisions at Arbroath,Raith and today.To wrap up a horrible day I’m told that Spurs have been beaten by a Sea Port City in the Prem,what’s that all about🤷‍♂️But I’m in the Faz camp,as positive as ever and 2 wins next week puts us in mid table.First up is Brechin City at Stair Pk.I know this will probably fall on deaf ears but the boys need your support,so try and get out there on Tuesday night and cheers us onto a victory.And finally I phoned the the local gym and asked if they could teach me to do the splits.He said ‘’how flexible are you’’?i said ‘’I can’t make Tuesdays”😎⚽️
