Huntly v Forres Mechanics

Steve Paterson: "It was probably the best game we have been involved in this season. It was end to end and both teams could probably argue that they could have won it. We were 2-1 up and had a one on one that Craig MacMillan missed and I felt we might pay for that.

"Huntly came back, equalised and quite rightly had a penalty claim that wasn't given so they could argue they could have won it, we can argue we could have won it but from the point of view of it being an advert for the Highland League it was a great game.

"The game was exciting, it drew you in and in the last twenty minutes everyone's legs were going and with the midfield wide open it was going from penalty box to penalty box. It was a fantastic game of football and both sets of players deserve credit for what they gave the fans today.

"Both teams gave it 100% and you could see both knew they had to win the game but in the end we cut each others throat so obviously we have to say that at the end of the day the draw was maybe a fair result but from our point of view we are going to miss a key player for a few games."

"It was the worst sending off I have seen in eighteen years of management and the referee has admitted himself it was a mistake and whether there is an appeal system in the Highland League or not I don't know but all the guy has done is taken the ball out of a hole and the ref has turned and misinterpreted it. That is all very well but it could end up in a four match ban and we miss a key player but it was a shame because the game itself, everything was good about it in terms of the football."

Billy Anderson: "For the effort we put in, the result doesn't reflect the game. We had at least two stonewall penalties and one that could have gone the same as well. The sending off wasn't the important part of the game.

"We had 95% of the first half, rattled the post at the end of a great move, had loads of balls into the box and we go in at 1-0 down. It was a fighting performance. We played good football, the balls in from the wide players were good, we were aggressive and dominated the midfield. We really dominated the game.

"Near the end we were gun ho, 2-2 was no used to us so we had to do it and there was going to be opportunities. We went three at the back then two at the back and really went for it.

"I also thought young Lee MacGregor was outstanding and he is only a young kid and he has the making of a good Highland League player."
