Presented at the end of the season just past, 100 goals for @ElginCityFC, quite an achievement #KaneHester 👏

This is a fantastic read if you're a Highland League fan.
Thanks Ian McNeill, job well done!

@Moorie86 @AberdeenFC @MotherwellFC No... by some bizarre reason I was linesman for that game too... and I was on the South Stand side on that occasion...

@berney91 @ElginCityFC 1.3 million hits to date... can't buy that much publicity, negative or otherwise... oh, and we've sold half our stock of blankets in 48 hours...

Lots of arguments for and against the use of Ai, but here's maybe one for!
The badge on the left is taken from the @Stirling_Albion second strip as worn by Rothes when they won the #HighlandLeague in 1959. The Ai "enhanced" version is for a wee project that I'm working on!

Ever the nostalgic, I kept some of my old match caution reports... do you recognise any of the names?... and where are they now?
