LOGIE HARP 2 V 0 MERPRO
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 03/05/14 2PM KO
Bit of a blow this one - groundhog day again.. possession ++, concede worldie goal on break and despite playing well attempts to batter down packed defence had limited effect. Missed pen ball last seen landing somewhwere in Kirkton area..
Shake off heads all round as to how never managed to make breakthrough - good commitment from Logie.

MERPRO 1 V 3 DUNDEE CITY
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 19/04/14 2PM KO
Even Jose would have been left for words over this game...Went ahead with well taken goal from Euan Duff and then dominated and created several good chances not taken. City hit back with quick fire double including innocous shot deflected og to have half time lead.Second half on top but City always dangerous on quick breaks and sealed the points with clinical break away goal in latter stages. Game became a farce at times due to baffling offside laws interpretation and disciplinary over leniency. Played well enough and had more than enough good chances +++ to comfortably win the game..
MATCH SPONSOR : COLIN DUNCAN

LOWSON UNITED 2 V 0 MERPRO
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 29/03/14 2PM KO
Dour attritional game with Lowson emerging the stronger side. Given gifted goal after 20 mins to take lead and better side in first half.

SATURDAY 27/4/13 2.00PM KO
Good calm perfomance to dominate the game - off to great start with Grant Whyte's first goal for Merpro in the first minute.Three up at half time and another couple in second half to complete the victory.
Created a load of chances and a few miss of the season contenders..goals by Grant, Craig(pen), Euan, Jordan first also for Merpro and party boy Kevin.

MERPRO 0 V 0 INCHTURE AMATEURS
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 20/4/13 2PM KO
Another frustrating draw and match...more contentious officiating causing grief after sending off leaves us with 10 men after 55 mins. Tight even first half and despite setback kept attacking shape and better side in second with only last 10 mins did we get pushed back.

LOWSON UNITED V MERPRO
DIVISION 1
WEDNESDAY 17/4/13 6.30PM KO
Lowson called match off as pitch waterlogged due to torrential rain during day.

MERPRO WERE BUSY PRIOR TO THE TRANSFER DEADLINE BOLSTERING THEIR SQUAD WITH 6 NEW SIGNINGS.

SATURDAY 13/4/13 2PM KO
Frustration..played great stuff at times with almost complete dominance and Barcelona like possession stats but couldn't find elusive cutting edge to finish off the match..few miss of the season contenders just to add to it all...

FC CLAYPOTTS 1 V 1 MERPRO
DIVISION 1
WEDNESDAY 10/4/13 6.30PM KO
Much improved barnstorming second half eventually retrieves point after going behind following giving away first half pen. Bit huff n no much attackin' puff in first period but got on top after break and finished strong.
Equaliser from Euan in 80th minute.

MERPRO 0 V 1 RIVERSIDE ATHLETIC
GRAY TROPHY 1ST ROUND
SATURDAY 6/4/13 1.30PM KO (ptaf)
Controversy as edged out by non goal event..where is the MAFA goal line tech when you need it ! Riverside seal win with 70th min Wemyss glancing header from corner kick but ball plainly never crossed over line acknowledged by opponents and genuinely apologised by official after game. Tight hard fought and entertaining match on a warm day with neither side ever fully dominant. Both sides playing some good touch football.
Riverside slightly more possesion and stepped up pace in early second half but Merpro came back to finish stronger but failed to take some clear cut chances and denied by good GK.

FREE WEEK 30/3/13

MERPRO 3 V 6 RIVERSIDE ATHLETIC
BREMNER CUP 3RD ROUND
SATURDAY 23/3/13 1.30PM KO (ptaf)
Midlands royalty Riverside visited Montrose for the first time on what even by Broomie blustery standards was a mega Baltic gale force day. Started ok but went down to 2 quickfire goals inc a dubious pen for inadvertent handball after 12 mins.
Clawed way back into match with goal in 32 mins but immediately gave away another goal after pen awarded despite tackle just outside box. Pulled goal back on stroke of half time to make it 3-2. Second half came out and played probably best this season in lieu of the opposition and dominated midfield creating numerous chances eventually equalising in 65 mins and looking likely to go on and win but again failed to take our opportunities..Riverside then given their opening with loose pass and pounced with well taken goal to go ahead in 80th min and then scored further two (last one blatant offside goal..) in last 5 mins to seal the win. Disapointing result after playing so well but clinical finishing the difference in sides in the end.
Goals from Euan(2) and Daz.


MERPRO 3 V 2 MORGAN FPs
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 16/3/13 2PM KO
Important victory and closer scoreline than balance of play indicates. Morgan went ahead against run of play in 20 mins with well hit long range shot. Merpro equalised in 47 mins and went behind again in 49..but eventually wore down visitors with equaliser in 58 mins and then late winner in 88th min. Missed chances kept a stuffy Morgan side in game and tense up till latter stages.
Goals from Craig, Daz and Euan.


FC POLONIA 7 V 2 MERPRO
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 9/3/13 2PM KO
Closer game than score reflects but match turned on 5 minute spell start of second half. Rocket header cleared off line then Polonia long ball and good finish go up park to score. Straight from ko break through again whilst down to 10 men and instead of 2-2 turns into 4-1..too much to claw back and home side run out deserved second half winners.
Goals from deft Kevin Hector turn and curled top corner beauty and Craig Allan.


DUNDEE CITY 2 V 2 MERPRO
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 2/3/13 2PM KO
Intense game against good footballing side - started slowly as City dominated and went behind after 5 minutes with og. Weathered slick opening and then found match pace and then went onto dominate latter stages first half and second half up to 70 mins.
City galvanised after equalising to force period of unrelenting pressure in latter stages. Various good chances , GK saves, had three cleared off line, hit post and also disputed goal but unfortunately no goal line technology to prove ball over the line..
Goals from Daz Mac double (again..)

MERPRO 2 V 2 DOUGLAS SC
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 23/2/13 2PM KO
Bizarre match/decisions totally dominated for 70 mins after incredulous pen awarded against us in 1st minute and then proceeded to miss barrowload of chances for remainder of game. Finally went ahead only to be pegged back by another very doubtful pen..goals by Campbell and Boulder.Played well and very frustrating.

DUNDEE UNIVERSITY 2 V 3 MERPRO
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 16/3/13 2PM KO
Well deserved victory literally dug out on muddy pitch - kept taking lead and kept giving goals back to Uni. (Police suspect some match fixin' going on by mudder John today..OG and short passback !)
Goals from Daz(2) first for Merpro and Hector.

ARBROATH HARP 1 V 2 MERPRO
BREMNER CUP 2ND ROUND
SATURDAY 9/2/13 1.30PM KO (ptaf)
Decent enough performance and largely in control for most of the match - scoreline fails to reflect that amazingly 3 penalty claims denied(acknowledged graciously post match by Harp) but also never clinically finished off match. All the best for Davie and Harp trying to build up young promising side.
Goals from Euan x 2

MERPRO 5 V 6 NEWPORT
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 19/1/13 2PM KO
Disappointing result somehow contrived to lose match - down 4-1 at half time. Repeatedly hit on rapier break away attacks although credit due as some of the goals Newport scored were pretty good along with freak Rocket og,..another great fightback but also missed good chances and pen claims x 2 denied..deserved at least share of spoils.
Goals from Boulder, og, Aiden(2) first ever for Merpro and Euan.

MERPRO 3 V 3 LOWSON UNITED
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 12/1/13 2PM KO
Enthralling match with both sides intent on playing good football. Lowson opened strongly but thereafter Merpro largely dominant side.
Lowson however clinical and made most of their(gifted)goalscoring opportunities to somehow be 3 nil up at half time..great second half attitude with concerted fightback keeping opponents pinned back to eventually draw level and share the spoils.
Goals from Campbell,Boulder and Euan.

SATURDAY 1/12/12 2PM KO
Very disapointing performance heavily influenced by previous evenings social engagement..frustrating all round.
First half Claypotts started brighter but Merpro came back into match with some decent linking play but lost 2 goals just before half time. Second half never got going and hardworking visitors fully ran out deserved winners.

MERPRO 3 V 4 PORTCULLIS
NORTH OF TAY CUP 2ND ROUND
SATURDAY 24/11/12 1.30PM KO (ptaf)
Contrived to own defeat - slow start and down 2 nil after 12 mins and then dominated first half to come back to all square at half time.
Rhys sent off after 47 mins allowed momentum to shift back for Porty to take lead and go further ahead with later goal. Merpro came back into match but another red card for Nicol made it too difficult to retrieve the game.
Goals from Craig(pen), Euan and Boulder.
All the best for fortcoming round to developing Portcullis side.

Dominating match then series of defensive mishaps allowed opponents into match and found ourselves 4-1 down at half time..second half great fightback to equalise eventually in 88th minute but brutal mistake gifted winner in last minute - galling stuff.

Despite the defeat night and day from previous game - played well with good commitment throughout. First 30 mins even with Merpro breaking up home side's play but Riverside went ahead in 35 mins and another just before half time. Early second half tale of two chances..Merpro's missed and minute later the classy Ronnie Kenneth completed his hat trick to extend the lead and a further late goal from Lochhead finishing the scoring.
Merpro had some good chances but not taken.
Riverside excellent organised passing side - best played so far. Seasoned side ex Tayport/Lochee Juniors Wemyss, Kenneth, Harris x 2, Patterson ,McDonald and Wallace along with some good younger players.

Good footballing match with CSC hitting 3 goal burst in 8 minutes at end of first half to effectively kill off the game. Even match till then but Arbroath side of ex juniors too much experience to allow Merpro back into match.Goals from James Robertson(first for Merpro) and Euan Duff.

MERPRO 2 V 3 MENZIESHILL (aet)
PREMIER LEAGUE PLAY OFF
WEDNESDAY 6th JUNE 2012 6.45PM KO
CARNOUSTIE PANMURE JFC
Merpro lost out after an exciting play off match in Carnoustie.The match was switched to Carlogie Park at the last minute as Carnoustie Panmure's Junior ground was unplayable due to the torrential rain flooding the pitch.Merpro squandered a barrowload of gilt edged chances.. inc miss of season contender...should have had Menzieshill well out of sight on the night. Merpro went ahead twice in the match and dominated the second half but failed to finish the game off. Menzieshill scored from a cross cum shot to equalise and take the match into extra time.Menzieshill went ahead for the first time in the match with a header from a corner kick and despite some late pressure held out to win the match.
Goals from Sean and Jimmir.

Merpro have now lodged an appeal as the Menzieshill GK has not been registered as a signed player and not recorded on teamsheet as a trialist. Menzieshill received permision to play emergency goalkeeper as per MAFA rules re GK special dispensation after his release from Dundee North End JFC on 6/6/12.

Broughty United have had their appeal upheld against St James AFC.
St James played an ineligible player still registered with Dundee United in Broughty's final match which they lost 7-2..
However as a result of their succesful appeal they have now been awarded 3 full points which leapfrogs them above both Menzieshill and Merpro.
As per MAFA rules which do not allow goal difference to be decisional factor we now have to play Menzieshill in play off match to determine final relegation place....

MAFA have indicated Broughty United have lodged a protest against St James for allegedly playing an ineligible player in their final match. Midlands Executive meeting will take place on Thursday 31 May to hear the appeal. If appeal is upheld then likelihood of Broughty being awarded tie and 3 points and not then relegated. Merpro would then be involved in a play off game v Menzieshill on 6th June at a neutral ground in Forfar.

Merpro remain in Premier League following Saturdays results. Merpro will finish in 9th place with Broughty United and Riverside Athletic relegated to the First Division.

Strange match on a difficult surface - spells of lengthy dominance with some good football but never fully finished match off until later in game.

PREMIER LEAGUE
SATURDAY 7/1/12 1.30PM KO
Yet another frustrating match outcome due to controversial officiating decision making. Sitting 2-1 up looking reasonably comfortable.Two goals then annoyingly disallowed esp second which looked perfectly fine kept St James in match.
Selective handball decisions then made allowing equaliser and penalty resulting in a sending off and further finished off by blatant offside goal to round off a furious 15 minute spell.
Fought back well with 10 men but not enough in the end.

What a match..yet another Merpro thriller - 3 nil down at half time after series of gift goals given away.However superb second half fightback with wave after wave of relentless probing attacking football.

MERPRO 3 V 5 SS PETER & PAUL
MARQUEE TROPHY
SATURDAY 13/8/11 2PM KO
SSPP snatched the points today in an infuriating match largely due to some very contentious selective decision making.With Merpro leading 2-1 and the match progressing well in our favour a Merpro player was sent off for foul and abusive language(sic) incredible in the context of the game..after querying about SSPP not being 12 yards from a free kick..
SSPP galvanised hit back and went 3-2 up till we equalised but late goals gave the visitors the spoils.Both sides had good spells playing decent football and we had some good chances to kill off match but overall left with sense of injustice at result and decisions made..Goals from Craig, Dean and Scotney.

MERPRO 2 V 2 NEWPORT (aet)
(NEWPORT WIN 5-4 PENALTY KICKS)
GRAY TROPHY FINAL
SATURDAY 4/6/11 2PM KO
CRAIGIE PARK DUNDEE
Drama continued to follow the 'Merpro young guns' right to the end of the 2010/11 season..after yet another rollercoaster of a match Newport managed to snatch the victory out of Merpro's grasp to take the Cup back across the Tay to Fife.
Newport started the match well and had most of the early play.Merpro clawed their way back into the match after going 2 goals down with a Craig Allan deflected shot looping over the GK.This galvanished Merpro and they finally freed themselves up and began to click and then dominated the match to equalise two minutes from the end with goal from Daz to force extra time.
Merpro continued to pummel a now weary Newport but frustratingly somehow contrived to miss chance after chance and loads more..!
In between all this was a very controversial penalty awarded by the Assistant to Newport saved by Hendo adding to the excitement ...
Penalties produced even more drama with Campbell, Craig,Sean and Paul converting and with Hendo again saving a Newport penalty up stepped Daz to attempt to finish the job...he calmly sent the GK the wrong way but the ball slid just agonisingly wide... into sudden death with Nicol's pen saved and a Newport conversion clinching the tie.
As the Midlands President George Burton said at the presentation the spectators "got their monies worth"
Congratulations to Newport and all the best for next season.

Merpro AFC would like to thank all the supporters who travelled through to watch and gave us great support - it was great to hear the roars when we scored.

Bit of a re run of midweek match with a few added thrills thrown in..good opening creating chances at will,went 1-0 up,Claypotts GK Seaton pulling off great saves then defensive slip gifts goal away.Claypotts then on top but into second half go ahead straight from ko looking good again then sending off for hand ball on goaline and Claypotts convert pen to make it 2-2 and down to 10 men..keep attacking formation and get reward with good combination goal.Then backs to the proverbial brick wall as bombarded for rest of the game..but held out...goals from Craig, Sean and Euan.

DOUGLAS SC 3 V 3 MERPRO
DIVISION 1
SATURDAY 16/4/11 2PM KO
Dramatic rollercoaster of a match.
Douglas better side in first half and led 2-0 at half time although Merpro had the most chances.Merpro galvanised in second half and scored in 46th minute only for Douglas to go up the park and score in the 47th minute...Merpro refused to give up and piled on the pressure and overall on chances created should have taken all full points but came up against an inspired Douglas keeper who had an excellent match.
Cracking game with both sides deserving credit on a difficult pitch.
Goals from Euan,Sean and Craig(pen)
(Hendo also saved pen to add to it all)


MERPRO 1 V 1 LOWSON UNITED
DIVISION 1
WEDNESDAY 13/4/11 6.30PM KO
Draw takes us back to top of the league..went ahead early with Jharone goal and looked likely to score a few more but for second game in a row failed to capitalise on chances created.
Lowson worked hard as always but rarely threatened until got break of ball and snapped up their chance efficiently late in 2nd half to grab share of the spoils.

SATURDAY 9/4/11 2PM KO
Bremner Cup run comes to a disapointing end.Good attacking game with both sides GK's making excellent saves.'Firies' started well and went ahead on two occasions but we came back each time and eventually went into the lead.However sat back on lead and TFB equalised two minutes into injury time to take match to extra time. Merpro created overall more chances and hit the woodwork but credit to opponents who we wish well in the next round.
Goals from Craig, Barry and Euan.
Pen goals scored by Craig/Chris with misses from Sean/Barry.

FC POLONIA 0 V 1 MERPRO
DIVISION 1 2PM KO
SATURDAY 2/4/11
  Frustrating scrappy match but managed to overcome a perfectly good disallowed goal,dubious decisons and a sending off to grind out the win. On top for most of the match but needed late og goal 5 mins from time. Down to 10 men with 15 mins to go as Rhys sent off for 2 bookings - despite this continued to attack and got deserved reward.

Cracking match and superb result.Both sides playing well constantly attacking each other in a fast flowing game at a high tempo. Merpro excellent first half display with hard working pressurising play all round and some clinical finishing set up the victory.
Goals from Euan,Boulder,Daz and a Yeti double maintains the top spot.

LOWSON UNITED 2 V 1 MERPRO (aet)
NORTH OF TAY ROUND 2
SATURDAY 30/10/10 2PM KO
Bit of a disapointing game all round, slow pace to start, mixed bag of missed chances and clearances off the line, fluffed GK clearances...and lacking the necessary guile with the final pass to finish off the match. Lowson understrength but dogged defensive display and wonder cross shot strike 5 mins from end of extra time takes them into next round. Euan capped energetic display with well taken poachers goal. Veteran Friedel called back into action to keep up his record of having played in every Merpro season since forming 28 years ago.

SATURDAY 23/10/10

No away trip in Scottish this year combination of missed chances+++,lapses in concentration and some dubious officiating decisions ( best dive seen in a game since Breed's v Wellbank few years back..) allowed Coldside to maintain their unbeaten run.
A very open match with goals from Euan, Konan and Puyol.
