Notice for Volunteers - Sunday 24th July 9.30am @ Park View

All as you know our first home game of this season will be the Arthurlie game on Saturday 30th July and we are appealing for anyone to attend the park on Sunday 24th July to help with a general tidy up - main jobs will be replacing the netting behind the goals and also finishing the work in the "Coo Shed"

We are not a big committee so any help would be very much appreciated.....please feel free to post on twitter, Facebook, etc.

Start time on Sunday is 9.30am and lunch will be provided!  :thumsup2

All - see below tribute to Kinky Afro from this weekends match programme....his final post....edited of course due to the fact it was about 10 pages long!

All the best mate

“Embrace life’s challenges and enjoy the exhilaration of success”

Paul Watson (aka Mr Pie and Bovril)

 

Leaving the good wine till the last! In the closing stages of the run in we’ve

accumulated 16 points out of a possible 18. We now need three points and to win

by two clear goals to avoid dropping down a league going into the game away

to St Andrews. We have the three points in the bag, leading 1-0. Thanks to Mark

Aitken. Then a 35 yard free kick in our favour and Gary Shanks hits the bar but the

rebound finds the ever alert Jordan Love to head home the golden goal for the

precious number two to secure the three points. Time 89 minutes.

That’s how close we were to relegation! One goal and with only sixty seconds

remaining! After 30 games it came down to the wire. When Lady Luck lands

in your lap in the last minute of the last game of the season and keeps us up,

welcome her with open arms.

There’s no need to visit Alton Towers or Blackpool Pleasure Beach for a roller

coaster ride. Follow United, and you’re guaranteed despair and excitement, all in

the one afternoon. Some may say we were lucky on that last day, but you have to

work hard to allow yourself to be lucky. The great golfer Arnold Palmer once said

“It’s funny , the harder I practice the luckier I get”. And now we live to embrace

and relish the challenge of another season in the Super League and through the

clubs resolve and determination we deserve to be there.

(Adapted from the thoughts of Paul W, by Albert Mancini)

 

He came, he saw, he conquered! And now Paul returns to his native

Glasgow having experienced country life and five seasons of unpredictable,

exciting weekends faithfully following the fortunes of FUFC. Our loss is the

gain of St Roch’s FC. Your presence around the dugouts and the infamous

“Coo Shed” with your bunch of “merry men” will be sadly missed. It was a

blast! We wish you every success in your new journey Paul.

Bon voyage from all at the Hoose!.

Men against boys today, Arthurlie miles better and score did not flatter them. A big thank you to all visiting Arthurlie fans today, a credit to your club and helped make the 70th anniversary commemorative match between our 2 sides an enjoyable day. All the best to everyone at Arthurlie FC from all at Fauldhouse United FC

Yip Arthurlie were much the better team yesterday, thought Fauldhouse started not too badly then the 2 injuries seemed to unsettle them a bit and it took them a while to settle after that. I thought there were good signs though mid-week v Shettleston where again it took Fauldhouse time to settle again, but once they did it looked okay, and i'm pretty sure they'll be decent in a couple of weeks time, when they've played together a little more.

Thanks to Fauldhouse for the game yesterday. Impressed with the facilities in my first trip to Park View. Good luck for the season ahead. Was great to be part of the celebration and maybe we got some revenge for the 1946 team lol.
