Full Version: Who Will Win There Leagues?
My prediction for the East super league is Bathgate and for the East premier league its Musselburgh. I have not seen enough of teams from other divisions to comment on but would welcome predictions for all divisions. I will be putting a wee roll up on at least 4 teams from different divisions to win there titles.

Cant see Bathgate win the East Super League, i watched them a few times last season and they were very inconsistent. I would probably go for Linlithgow and Musselburgh. I think Musselburgh are stick on winners. Anyone know a price?

With Bathgate winning a major trophy last year that should give them the confidence to do well in the league. I will be intrested in the Musselburgh price myself, could be a wedge going on them if the price is right.
Kilwinning in the West First look a good thing.
Nobody fancy Nitten for the East Premier? Has their team crumbled?
The South Division will, as usual, be as tight as a duck's chuff. Broxburn, Sauchie, Haddington, Armadale (although an unknown quantity to us bottom dwellers) should all be there or thereabouts. Harthill lost their management team to Armadale, so we'll need to see how they respond.

Another year of improvement would do it
However, we'll probably be missing the services of Chris Hill in goal and (more than likely) Lukasz Rusin in midfield, who have both been influential in the past. We have taken a young laddie on loan from East Fife to go between the sticks - Andrew Stobie - and he comes with a decent reputation in youth football. A mild baptism of fire for him, I think QUOTE (Millfield Marksman @ Jul 11 2008, 16:02)

Both Newtongrange and Musselburgh looked good football teams when we played them last season so they will certainly be challenging but I think Ballingry might be worth a shout.
who has musselburgh sighed that you think they will win league

East superleague - Bathgate or Lochee United
Premier - Musselburgh/ Newtongrange
Think Newtongrange will be in with a good shout of the Premier in the East with Ballingry to be an outside bet given their reputation last year.
As for the East Super league, I think the new manager at Linlithgow will put a rocket up a few and change things and they'll be the team to beat.
The east bottom league is as I said in another thread a total lottery. Hadington have been through it before and will be favourites I would think, but then Armadale will fancy their chances even though they have a total change of players and management. Broxburn, and I think an outsider maybe Edinburgh Utd if they can keep a team together, its a tough pace to get a result there.

Bathgate,Musselburgh and Broxburn for me .
East Super - The Rose or Lochee.
East Premier - Mussie or Nitten
West Premier - Pollok
West 1st - Buffs
Think Stoneyburn will be the most improved team in the East South

Kayster how do u think your team Livi will fair this season,any new signings yet.
Think Broxburn have to be favourites this year, with Armadale and Haddington sniffing around. I think Sauchie may struggle a wee bit, as will Harthill.
Most improved team will be Dalkeith Thistle, and Stoneyburn wont be as bad as last year.

If Armadale manage to get their team to play together then they may do ok, but its a big ask as they appear to have lost their coaching staff and most of last seasons squad.
Dalkeith did well last year from all accounts and I'd expect them to improve given a year at this level for most of their players.
Stoneyburn surely can't be as bad as last year...But I can't see how they'd improve, they'd need a whole new set up from the management to new players as they were a joke last year.

Dont know how we will do, we are going to be a totally new team as well,Broxburn are going have a big squad so theyre going to have a few left on the sidelines,which they wont be happy with.Armadale have poached 4 or 5 Harthill players so they might be decent side.

Im a clydebank fan and you were one of the best teams we played last season.When we beat you 3-2 at the start of the season i thought we were really lucky and that proved to be the case when you finished higher up the leauge than us.I cant see us doing much next season unless we sign some strikers.
We play you at "home" first game of the season should be a good one
