Objective and subjective reporting and a Seal may be broken.
July 13, 2008
When I write on here about our games I try to be as honest as possible but I admit that can be hard. I’ve been delighted with our two pre-season friendlies and that has no doubt come over in my reporting. I have however admitted in both games that the opposition have had more of the ball than us and in Saturday’s case created more chances. I think however we definitely deserved to win at Stirling and although riding our luck a bit in the first half at Methil I thought we ran out worthy winners.
I had to confirm what I thought the meaning of objective and subjective were by checking the Oxford dictionary tonight. I was right as the first includes factual as a definition while the second includes biased.
There’s a link to an objective report on our game against Falkirk on this website and I’ve just read a subjective report on a club website about yesterday’s game. Seemingly we could have been 5-0 down at half-time.
While I’m on about yesterday’s game I know it was changed to Methil late in the day but a thread on the game in the EOS Section of our favourite Forum has only managed 2 replies. There is a thread on the Second Division Section with 52 replies (and growing) mostly from other supporters winding the Fifers up I’ll admit.
I spoke to Electric tonight and there’s a good chance that we’ll lose him to Brechin. He wants to try it out with the big boys and who can blame him. Being as high profile as we manage to be for an EOS team, SFL sides take notice and we have to accept losing players up the way at times. Smiler is a loss already and Electric would double that blow.
I’m getting texts and phone-calls from players about the eagerly awaited EOS fixture list. I think Hutch and/or Tarzan may get them tonight but as I’m a mere pleb I’ll have to keep checking the EOS website.
Talking about fixtures - if we lose Jono there’s a good chance Stewart will end up a fixture in central defence.
Finally this evening a thank you to Mary “Mark” Whitehouse.
