tamthebam Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) I have a slightly different view of things from the fans in the stand and Deeks worked his socks off - at one point there was a flash of the old Riordan genius. He'll never be the player he was when he was 22 but he did bloody well today. I'd actually like to thank the mighty Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale Football Club for beating us on Wednesday which may have led to the players being fired up today. NIce to see the congrats from fans of other clubs- cheers guys. And for all those who still don't like us Edited April 22, 2017 by tamthebam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are Kelty going to slot in? Look forward to the time on bottom team automatically relegated 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Congratulations City. When I seen you in October I didn't see a lot to be optimistic about but I'm delighted to see you kicking about in League Two for another season at least. A cheeky cup draw away to a Premiership team could help fund future play off spot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the philosopher Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Great news for the pyramid system.Well done EC. Personally shit for us tho. Fantastic to see every game in our league meant something today , probably even more so next week :- 2nd last game tremendous.

AllyMonc Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Would never have thought safety was possible after those first few months but what a turnaround. Everyone at the club deserves a huge amount of credit, Gary Jardine manager of the year by a distance. Performance yesterday was excellent and that was by some distance Beattie's best game for us (the bollocking I gave him after the Cowden game clearly worked......). Now let's get see what Jim Jeffries can do in terms of summer recruitment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now let's get see what Jim Jeffries can do in terms of summer recruitment Despite your bad start you have done well to stay up. Having watched City more than a few times over the last few years in the LL one thing I noticed was the great fight you had in your side, you wern't getting hammered by anyone during your poor spell with the biggest defeats being 2-0 against Elgin and Cowden. Jardine probably rightly stayed loyal to the squad which done him well in the 1st few months and a few were obviously not up to scratch for the next level as was always going to be the case I suppose. For me your turning point was signing Marc Laird you started to get results when he came into the team and Josh Walker has also been a good signing both were perhaps the experience that you needed in the side, guys who have played at a higher level. I wasn't too sure about Beattie's signing but he has chipped in a few goals recently. As for next season now that you have proved yourselves in this league it maybe easier to attract players than in was last close season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Hats off to all the Berwick, Clyde and Cowdenbeath supporters who have come on here to congratulate City on reaching safety while their own teams are still at risk of the playoff spot. Shows that at this level of football fans of different clubs can still get along with each other - rivals but not enemies, unlike the arsecheeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Congratulations City. It was looking fairly bleak at the beginning but I'm pleased to see the first 'properly' promoted club stay up and show the pyramid works. Also, our win over you guys in the Cup started a cracking wee run of form that hauled us off the bottom of the league and into play-off contention, so thanks for that. What are the fans thoughts on the next couple of years. Confident City can push on and challenge for promotion in the next year or two? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only down side is that Berwick are a stick on to beat Edinburgh on final game of season and probably confine us to the playoffs. director of hoofball Jim Jeffries has years of history with Berwick and still lives near the town. Only consolation for me will be a sizeable bet at what should be decent odds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And East Fife was voted by the small Blobby Army to have the best pies and hospitality package overall in all League and Cup competitions. Cheers for the great welcome at Bayview Stadium. Edited April 23, 2017 by Mr Blobby * Some clubs didn't offer all three pie options while others had their own distinct offerings like Forfar and Arbroath. I would have liked to try a 'Haggis, Neeps & Tatties' pie but nobody had it available in League 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocochinchi Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I’m a new Edinburgh City supporter this season, been to all but one of the home games as well as quite a few away matches. Hugely enjoyed the season and came away buzzing yesterday after the 3 points and guaranteeing safety in the league. Can only imagine what this means to those City fans who have been following the team for years. I’ve been hugely impressed by the way the club has gone about things this season, both on and off the park. Looking forward to the last 2 games of the season now that the pressure is off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose in central belt eyes it's all the eastern borderland, tbf... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick are arguably basically an Edinburgh team that play their home games in Northumbria. As such not having them around in the SPFL probably makes it marginally easier for Edinburgh City to put a stronger squad together, so I doubt that they'll be doing Berwick Rangers any favours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
