mcdNo10 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Wouldn't appear so! Lost a striker midweek, still no signed keepers and struggling not to concede goals and fought hard to beat two teams at the opposite end of the game? I would say not. However there is a bit of time before the league kicks off! Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the lad who played on Saturday was from the u21s last season, he played against our boys, think it was Tower Hearts or Harmony Row ?

JCOLE Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 So, that's pre season over, are the glens ready? you guys always seem to be missing players, then we hear you have to field u-21s, then when you make signings and anyone who' dares to question the size of your squad its always you have long term injuries etc,,, are you boys just unlucky?

It does seem that way, unfortunately. Pre-season has been very hit and miss for us, quite a few injuries, holidays and guys working due to the Commonwealth Games etc, hence us having to use u21 players in all of our friendly matches. Last night's turnout at training was much better, though, so we're looking forward to Saturday. We may not be at our sharpest during the Sectional group, but hopefully we'll be ready for the league starting in 3 weeks which is more important.

Pretty confident gk will be sorted by the end of the month,Blair has shown enough in my opinion to be worth signing.Meechan when fit will be good combo with mcginto.

ollyj Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Pre season isn't over until the league starts. Same amount of trialists etc will play in the league cup as in friendlies. Only the smaller teams take it seriously to get a "scalp". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the smaller teams take it seriously to get a "scalp". Correct we now go from pointless pre season kick aboots into pointless Ardagh Cup.The fact Kilbirnie have no keeper and dont seem too bothered getting one at the moment shows how little clubs regard the Ardagh.If we were going straight into league with 3 pts at stake would be a different scenario...even the ammies start the league on Sat.Cannae stand the Ardagh,feckin boring.

Nugent4nil Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The Ardagh and the Central Sectional are both diddy cups....... Until you qualify from the section then it's a cup. It's always good to win the first silver wear of the season without doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANKIEBILL Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The SLC is potential worth a good bit of money to us ... a good run to the final and winning is a 2/3 grand windfall over the 1/4, semi and final. Obv most teams in the Sooper Prem would scoff at that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steish Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Try telling the strains on saturday that the ardagh is a Diddy cup.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james. Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Positive start from Ballingry Rovers although we lost to a last minute goal at Hill of Beath....team played very well and deserved a draw and still had a few missing so onwards and upwards this Saturday when we welcome Broxburn to Ore Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishawloyal Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 It has been a very positive pre season for Wishaw. I've watched them draw 2-2 with Pollok (unlucky not to have won), beat 3 amatuer teams very convincingly and seen off Blackburn 3-0 then lost to Camelon but created lots of chances. Last night however must be the highlight with a 1-0 win away to Scottish Cup holders Hurlford. I never tend to look into friendlies but its always positive to be on decent form. Well done to John and Paul + the team. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, friendlies aren't always a gauge of how things will unfold, but I will keep an eye out for your results as was very impressed when we played you. Have you held onto all the players that played against us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
