Absolute rubbish you dont know nothing , tweeddale were set up in the 50's the club had played in the lothian setup since that day with no 2nd team, they won the Logan cup round about 1964 . Which was and is today the top trophy in Lothians/edinburgh area at that time . The club has seen a steady decline of recent and all that is left is one border team that plays in the bottom league.The poorest in Scotland. They ditched the main team due to the club going belly up sometime ago. Well run club my arse. away get your facts sorted.

Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact they play in Peebles would it?

You appear to be the one that knows nothing! The Lothian team was only 'ditched' due to the manager and most of the players going to Leithen Rovers. And those that did not go to the Rovers also decided they did not want to stay at Tweeddale. The club still intended to run two teams if they could find someone to take the team. However, they reluctantly decided to go with one team when their search was unsuccessful. So, it was nothing to do with the club going 'belly up'. Also the team have a very good chance of promotion form the "poorest league in Scotland". Some of the young players at the club have the potential to play at a much higher level.

Beat me to it.

I think the Dale will do well this year, good luck to Jimmy and his team.

Good, well run club are Tweeddale and how they must be thankful they didn't come in to the Peebles FC set up.
They have now ditched their Lothian team and are concentrating on the Borders League.
Good luck to them.

I agree, if Rab and Jimmy manage to keep a hold of some of the young talent they have, they will not be kicking about in that league for too long!

This is amateur talk this is an East of Scotland Forum.
Of course they will hold the young talent nowhere else to go. The club is now at a better level i agree playing in the lowest league, at least you cant get relegated. No chance of promotion.

Now away to your border forum or wherever you meet.

Your right about Tweeddale playing in the lowest of the lowest leagues,but if you ask one or two of your so called big TIME CHARLIES where they won there first trophy,yes you probably guessed it the shitty border ams,when they were teens and playing for the jersey,no pay,in fact paid, a fiver to play,you know when they were not good enough for the likes of Vale,Peebles etc and when they get fed up of kidding on they,re not gonna make it to the SPL(LIKE MOST OF THE EOSL LEAGUE PLAYERS THINK PLAYING IN)yep they will come running back to Tweeddale,Leithen Rovers,etc in the shitty Border league,did you ever manage to get to that level when you played?????

glad you enjoyed the game, the goalie ( cammy) is new to football and once he learns to kick the ball should be a great prospect for the club and is showing the potential to play at a higher level but is young so he has time to get his feet with us the same can also be said for blair he's still just a young lad but progressing with each season

Hello there guys.

Would just like to reiterate Afab's words further down. This post was not meant to talk about Border amateur leagues (maybe the name was a bit misleading) It was really to show people how impressed I was with the play there and where hopefully Peebles will find local players wether it be a striker or a keeper to keep them competitive. If Peebles are not going to spend this so called money it takes now to have a half decent local team or any other East of Scotland team for that matter, they are going to have to look at these local leagues to find it.

Cheers

Davey

Peebles can,t spend any money on players because they don,t have any money to spend,and at this moment in time the local players are just not good enough for that level of footie,thats why they play the amatuer game,its not doing the players any good playing out their depth every week in the Premier League,the future of the team looks very bleak unless they get in some experienced players from somewhere

Yes, but there are better local players playing amateur than the ones currently playing for Peebles. If Peebles had got a hold of a couple from Tweddale and a few from Leithen Rovers they may have had at least a slight chance.

True enough about needing experienced players for playing in the Premier league, and i agree that local players alone give FC no chance of staying in that league. However, having watched a few of the local amatuer sides pre-seasons, such as Tweeddale, Peebles' chances of getting any decent results in the coming season would be significantly improved if they managed to aquire a few of the players that have been on show for the amatuer sides. Relying on local boys was a bad idea, but having some of the better local boys playing for amatuer sides in shite leagues where they will not improve, instead of playing at a higher level where they could learn a lot more and in a few years possibly become the standard required to take peebles forward, is a joke.

I completely agree. The problem lies in the set-up of Peebles FC. It is clear they are a sinking ship and no-one wants to jump onto one of them, hence the reason young talent is playing Border Amateur. Additionally, the people in charge of Peebles are blatantly not well equipted when it comes to bringing players in. Players either dislike them, know that they have little or no football knowledge, or both.

Their is a mentality in Peebles,if a good player plays for one team their mates want to play in the same team,thats always been the case,also most are just playing for fun,game of foot,ie,pint wi the guys after it ,nout too serious,with the money getting thrown about in the EOSL now the games gone nuts,what happened to playing for playings sake,????? money ruining the EOSL now..

Again I agree. I don't think that's it's just about wanting to play with ur mates though. If Peebles had a decent management team I think they would be able to recruit most of the decent local players.

Absolutely they should be enjoying their football, nevertheless, im sure all the best young players would tell you they where ambitious about playing at the highest level they could. saying they dont want to take football seriously is very abstract! Surely the better players playing in the local amatuer leagues would love a crack at playing EoS. Obviously Peebles management are not trying hard enough, or previous comment is true, they are just not liked. Either way, further bad news for FC.
