well I thought seeing as it was the last time we won the league cup I may as well stick it on with the announcement.

Si has hair, and Farmer in the crowd has a terribly curly barnet

And a young Gary McGoo thinking 'maybe one day this will be me' !!!!

great draw

not the best

an expensive draw..................................

an now you have blocked me from it so i cant get live feeds

heard your missing the game foof, i'll keep you updated since you can't get live feeds

not 100% confirmed that ill miss game yet but i should know by wednesday, was looking forward to another trip to wick and the pit-stop in dornach

was on the phone to their secretary earlier on and they say at present the park is fine and it's mild up there and they're very hopeful of the game being on.

They are going to be covering the goalmouths as a precaution.

We started a poll earlier on the usual section and going into tomorrow's games, Huntly, followed by Buckie Thistle are favourites to lift the cup this season

Full time (incl. extra time): Wick 2 (Ross 58, D.Allan 120) - Huntly 1 (Taylor 22)

sounds a tough one today

I take it from twitter that it was Si who was sent off


long time to play with 10 and into et as well

A major kick in the teeth today
We started very well and were well worth our lead
Then Simon sees the red mist and one forearm smash later we're down to 10 men.
A tough ask on the Wick slope for 10 men against a capable team.
But a great battling effort in a feisty game.
When Wick went down to 10 men after a drop kick tackle the game was ours.
We won the game with a perfectly good goal which the referee gave,
The Wick team's heads dropped .They knew they were beaten.
The Lino flags and we all think its a penalty for the foul on Ewen as he set up Guildy.
But no , a farcical decision against Ewen chalks off the goal.
Wick go straight down the other end and score and the final whistle blows.
Any further comment on this decision is not advisable in the interests of public decency.
Brownhill Boy was outstanding today.His fitness levels were just amazing.
Hard luck guys after a great effort.

Thank you to Casual,Shrek,and Fraser for outstanding green thumb company today and here is the full lament shared with you on the bus hame.

Scorrie Lament

As daylight fades in Caithness
Black and Golds go hame
Sent homeward by the Scorries
As Sim robbed us o' the game

Hearts are sad and laden
Oh what could have been
Undone by fate so cruel
Worst decision ever seen

Inverness comes into view
Roads are two lanes wide
Injustice bides in Scorrie hills
We return a beaten side

This day we will remember
How wrong spawned oota right
From the jaws of victory
Craig Sim sealed our plight

Shrekitaph...

Watch out you Scorrie Wickers
In your stripes of black 'n white
Next week the highland referee
Will ken his wrong from right

ive got a few things to say afta todays game! 1st thngs 1st we had a gr8 goal chopped aff in 118th min! write lets get truthful m.migimlay was the worst player on the pitch! positonally he was rubbish looked lyk he had only played for a non league team let alone the formartine of england prem!! he played one good pass the whole day and that was a 2 yard pass to gray! when eva youny migin got the ball he looked if is he wasnt sure wot to do with it!! but on the positives brownhill was outstanding today from start to finsh also must admit that coco, taylor ewen and gray played well 2! but i dnt knw what the wick player said for si to do a fore arm smash on him only sii knws!?!?!?!? and the tackle on ewen was an absolute disgrace!! the goal guild scored in 118th min was a perfectly good goal and if it wasnt a goal it was a pen as ive seen photos of inncedent since the game!! anywho lets stuff wick nxt week!! and a special mention to skins who showed gr8 guts and determination 2 paly as long as he did while fellin sick the whole game!!

EEKA PEEKA PUCKA PO!!

The sending off totally changed the game. We were coasting and another before the sending off would have put the game to bed. Backs against the wall at times but you would expect that with ten men. For such a big squad it looked as if we were down to the bare bones? Any truth that only one person on the bench was totally 100% fit?

I'm not surprised that a debatable decision from a linesman cost Huntly the game,for years the linesmen for Wick games have been "homers" due to the location.It sounds like Huntly were unlucky and the fact that some of the better players didn't start bodes well for the coming weeks.It may sound strange but getting knocked out may be the best thing to happen with regards to the title challenge.

Not a lot more to add.
If the assistant had flagged for offside no one could have been sure with all the players in the box but to flag for a foul from as far away as he was was a complete joke.
The referree was far better placed to see any incident and could and should have overuled his assistant.
We wiz robbed at the end but was Si thinking about.

Seem to recall in last season's League Cup competition in a tie at Deveronvale we also had what looked a perfectly good goal from Lonie ruled out on the say-so of a locally based linesman

and sim was the referee too!

I'm a Wick Academy supporter got to admit you have a really strong team again and enjoyed the effort from all on the park on Saturday. Your team are a lot more streetwise than Academy but your man getting himself sent off let you down. I have never seen two teams as exhausted after a game, probably a result of the lack of games. I personally think both teams gave their all and that shows in the emotional end to the game. Don't be too hard on us next week!Thanks to all the Huntly supporters that made the effort to come up to Wick.
