Formartine ‘stuffed’ by disciplined Keith
It’s only in football that you can be gutted after you have been stuffed, but that’s an experience that is becoming increasingly familiar for Formartine’s faithful. Keith had played in midweek, suffering a few casualties in the process; Formartine were facing their first game in 6 weeks. In normal circumstances, a bit of rustiness could reasonably have been expected, but in the event something far more corrosive than iron oxide was there for all to see: having started the game by mounting wave upon wave of attack on the home goal, taking an early lead and generally dominating proceedings, Formartine utterly caved in to the fight back of a competent, decently organised but far from outstanding mid table team. The manner and extent of this capitulation revealed a level of commitment on the part of several players that was clearly inconsistent with the ambition of the management, committee and supporters of the club that pays their wages. Several supporters confessed to a real feeling of having been short changed.
