Cambuslang will continue their impressive start to season with another win

Darvel to win in a 5 goal thriller at home

Largs v Troon. Fancy Troon to nick three points after last week's impressive win. Won't be much in it.

Kilsyth to pick up 3 points away to Larkhall

Peasy v Meadow. We will have to be at our best to get something. But no pressure on Saturday for Meadow. Any points we pick up will be a bonus.

Renfrew to beat Kello I would guess

Shettleston to defeat Maryhill.

How difficult is it to give teams home and away fixtures every other week, shouldn't be too difficult at the start of the season anyway. WRONG!!!!!!!! 4 home games in a row on a state of the art astro pitch when most grass pitches will still be decent enough to play on and then there'll be the lottery after the winter comes with fixture pile ups and all the rest of the chaos that brings due to grass pitches being unplayable. We will have played something like 6 games at home out of the first 9. Madness!!!!!

So our fixtures have been tweaked, instead of Renfrew at home on October 7th we will now go to New Western Park.

That means we now have 3 home games in a row instead of 4. Next two are away, then Cambuslang at home then Larkhall away. Except Cambuslang is on 28th OCtober which is Round 2 of the Scottish which we have a bye into. So it will be 3 straight home games in the league followed by 3 away. If we get an away draw in the Scottish then we will go from 30th September til 11th November without a home match, after playing 4 Saturdays out of 5 at home in September. Anyone fancy being co writer of our programme?

Largs Thistle 1 - Troon 4

Some crappy video above of the 2 penalties.

Five minutes into the game and as the teams are finding each other out a corner from the Troon left is headed clear and Scott McLean rocketed it into the net from around 25 yards to put the visitors one up - although I did think from my angle that it went over the keeper.

For the rest of the half I thought that Largs had the majority of the play but they weren't testing McInnes in the Troon goal and it was Troon who came closest to scoring again as McLean hit the post when it seemed easier to score and then the game kicked into life in the 38th minute. The Largs Number 2 made a silly tackle in the box and the ref pointed straight to the spot and showed a straight red card - thought it was a harsh decision but then again it wasn't a tackle he needed to make.

Shirkie fired home the kick from the penalty mark to the bottom right.

As the teams trooped off for their half time pie and mash the home bench were not happy.

The second half saw Troon content to soak up pressure and try and hit on the break. 20 minutes in and Largs got one back when a foul in the box saw them awarded a penalty and this time Adam rifled it into the left corner, game on 1-2.

But they couldn't get back into it and the Troon trialist Number 16 hit the post before 2 minutes from time Shirkie cut the ball back across goal and this time the Newman made no mistake to seal the game. Troon though were not finished and into injury time they made the scoreline far more respectable than the play deserved when McLean was fed the ball at the edge of the box and with plenty of time to pick his spot he slotted the ball home.

Swap you for 3 consecutive games away from home two in Ayrshire one week after another.....and we have already been to Meadow ...midweek......

We've probably now got a run of 5 straight away games, as the one home game we were scheduled is on the date of the second round of the Scottish, which we have a bye into.

So what's gone wrong with your team so far this season. Down 3 to bottom of the division. Last year R Glencairn were within a couple of games of promotion of a play-off to the Super league. Is it just a blip, or are you getting nervous about the outcome this year?

It's only 3 games in , so plenty of time for Rutherglen to stabilise & make a push up the table. 

2 tough away games so far at Renfrew & my lot , Cambuslang  , where without being biased, I thought Cambuslang were deserved winners  today,  although Rutherglen played well in spells & a home defeat against an (at the time) inform Darvel has left the glens anchored at the bottom of the league with no points so far , but it's way too early to write them off in my opinion.

Long , long way to go & we're only into September, plus Rutherglen have too many good players to be written off. 

Obviously not a good start for them , but having seen them twice in recent weeks I reckon they'll win more games than they lose.

Lol, is anybody surprised that a question was asked about Glencairn's form and the first person to answer was a Cambuslang fan ? [emoji23]

 

To be fair, though, blue manalishi has given a pretty accurate assessment. It's obviously not the start we the start we wanted or expected, but we will be ok. We need to strengthen in a few areas and the gaffers are on the case in that regard, but we did play well yesterday for long periods. We were missing very important players in McGuire and our three strikers in Smith, McKay and Savarese.

 

There are 69 points to be played for, and we're only 4 points behind the automatic promotion spots. Nobody is panicking.
