The two linesmen/assistant referees at Saturday's match at Crombie Park were put through their paces by the referee, who seemed to be a bit of a fitness fanatic. They struggled a bit to keep up with him - check out this short video:

New Stadium for database!
Does Crombie Park, Culter qualify as a "stadium"? Well, they did erect some scaffolding to make a mini-stand for Saturday's cup tie against PTFC - for the home fans. Us away fans just had to stand at the perimeter of the field - but it was a fun day out, with Culter ecstatic at getting a draw and Thistle relieved not to be on the wrong end of a cup shock.
We arrived about an hour before kick-off and took a few photos:

Bob Bennett 52!
From http://bvetsfootballgroup.blogspot.com/
It's a very happy transatlantic, slightly belated, 52nd birthday to young Bob, former buzz-bomb of these parts, and yet another Banchory Veteran who's a high-flier now. Bob's with Baker Hughes and, a decade ago, they moved him to Houston, USA - which is a long way, both geographically and socially, from his upbringing in Airdrie - and he's never looked back - only down.
Bob has over 250 appearances on the database, mostly from 1996 to 2001. It's been a while since we heard his non-stop chatter over here - I wonder if he's got any plans to pay us a return visit?
Here's one of him from 1999, shaking hands with JSMcD at one of our golf outings:
Hope it was a good one yesterday, Bob!
Cheers,
Ian

Scottish Cup Tie

It's a sell-out - all 1,200 tickets have gone, but we've got ours for Saturday's match:
Could there be a cup upset? Hope not!

You, too can become a big shot

Spotted in last Saturday's P & J:
For those that don't know, baby-faced Geoff is a former BVFG member, having 52 appearances on the all-time database, most of them made in the late 1990's. In fact, he is one of those featured in the photo on the front of our Yahoo Groups site (http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BanchoryVeteransFootballGroup/?yguid=260253071).
Here's another one of him in a team shot from a snowbound DATA at the New Year match in 2001:
Geoff's done well for himself - don't suppose he'd manage a game at the Beach on Friday night now?

PTFC come to town!

Hot off the press is the news that Spartans - like Sion before them - have just been kicked out of the Scottish Cup for fielding ineligible players. This means that the team Spartans defeated in the last round - Culter FC - go through and they now face a home tie against Partick Thistle!
The match is a 1:30 pm kick-off and will be played a week on Saturday, 19th November. The Banchory branch of the PTFC supporters' club will be out in full force!
