Could be worse 15:50 - Mar 17 with 1611 views | Leadbelly | Whilst most of us are less than happy with recent performances and results at Col U spare a thought for the fans of Fort William in the Highland League. Following a hard fought 12 - 1 loss at Turriff Utd yesterday they remain bottom of the table. The mind boggling numbers are: P27 W0 D2 L25 F17 A199 GD -182 They really do have something to moan about. | |

I’m sure they did. Believe it or not Fort William were actually winning a game 1 - 0 against Wick Academy earlier this month. Weather conditions were terrible and after 38 minutes the game was abandoned after the Wick ‘keeper got mud in his eye! | |

They certainly do, even if that form is unremittingly dire. Despite this there is something strangely alluring about them! This season's result make for very interesting reading. Highlights, if you will, as follows: Conceded double figures in 4 of the first 5 league games (and in several more times since) Worst league defeat was 14 - 0 Dumped out of the North of Scotland Cup in the first round after losing 0 - 16 to Inverness Caledonian Thistle I spent a very pleasant week just outside Fort William several years ago and also passed through a couple of times when visiting family on Skye. It's a lovely part of the world anyway but the guaranteed goal fest at any home game means a trip up there next season is a must. Fort William FC now my official Scottish club. | |

When my son worked at John O Groats for two years I always visited and now look out for Wick's results in the highland league. Their stadium and pitch are actually pretty good but the weather is often horrific thus putting paid to many of the winter fixtures. Up the U's | |

Could be worse on 19:32 - Mar 21 with 1296 views | Fruitbat | I watched Scotland on the telly this afternoon. Based on that I think there might be some call ups in the offing for Fort William players. They can't be any worse. | | | |

Things are looking up! Highland League kicks off in July so I’m hoping an early season home game coincides with my two weeks off in the summer. Can’t wait. | |

After the deer intervention Fort William still in a rut after a 6-2 home defeat to Nairn. Up the U's | |
