Played yesterday with a very inexperienced team against Tweedale and got beat 8-0. Not worried about that due to the fact we had no keeper and were missing 3 or 4 starters including me. Gave Jimmy and Fred a chance to look at some new players and hopefully they will have a clearer view of what players from the 31 at training last week are actually football players.

Playing you lot a week on Tuesday or so I am lead to believe. Will be interesting to see how yourself and Stow manage to keep the seemingly large squads you both have happy.

Glad to see I never missed a goal after leaving early. Strange game and the Fairydean will be upset with the injuries they picked up. Gala Utd looked good at times but the defence was also very poor at times. Titch especially had a poor game (though he did score) but he is a better player than he showed tonight.

Earlston should be worried since Scott Crawford was in goals for the Fairydean and he should have saved both Andy Hardie's free kick and Titch's goal.

Yeah there were times when we looked a little shaky but thats to be expected, this was after all the Fairydean. Overall good performance, and I believe the Fairys will agree the scoreline flattered them.

disagree slightly with the fact we will think the scoreline flattered us. We know what to expect playing an amateur side they are never gonna be easy games as everyone wants to beat an EOS side.
We never got goin last night picked up alot of niggly injuries and ended with a back line that had a combined age of roughly 145.
Utd on the other hand, well in spells of the game last night yous looked really good in possession and confident on the ball. Bodes well for the season ahead but I think on a wider park and with us at full strenght it might not have been so close, but all the best for your season ahead, play half as good as that and yous won't be far from the top o the league, just don't let a meaninless friendly defeat give you too much confidence, it's competitive matches that win you trophies.
Once again though all the best for your season, except against stow :-)

we also never had a full team 4 starting players missing. i would def say we looked the better team over 90 min just a couple of omplete freak fk ups gave you the win. you are right tho its the matches that get you points or cup games that mean anything and we will give th b div a good crack staying up is our 1st mission. the dean for me look like they need to get in some boys and fast semi pros should not be getting out played be amateurs. all the best to the dean hope you do well. 1 last thing the ref b4 the game actually came in to our dressing room and told us that we didnt hav a chance against the dean but give it your best. every1 saw who was the better team last night.

[youngathearts]

He said the same to us as well. :-) must be his sense of humour.
Also both your first 2 goals would never have been scored if big tumsh was in goals so same could be said about that. I agree yous played better football for periods but to say yous were the better team even though we won by a couple of goals doesn't really make sense in my own opinion.
Thought yous played well but when a team doesn't get out of first gear and has so many players missin and still wins then it hard to claim the best team lost. But I thourghly enjoyed the game to play in and watch for last half an hour, also loved the banter from pitch and touch lines you can't beat a local fixture

Was just interested is Andy hardie signing with united? Also play amateur and to be honest any time I've played an EOS team they don't take it to serious as they're only playin amateur teams where as the am players they giv it everything to impress,prove they can play that level and in some cases to get a big scalp!Sure the dean could of raised it if necessary it was 5-3 beter team or not!

couple of amateur fk ups is why we lost thats why we are an amateur side i guess.

A thought the fairydean wud have gave the united a footballing lesson? Not the other way about? And why was andy hardie playing against the dean last night?
