Anyone know the ins and outs of their clubs?

Clydebank

Out - Gordon Lappin( Largs Thistle ), Paul Craig & James Lennox ( Rob Roy ) & Barry John Corr( quit for work commitments )

In - Gary Linn( playing in Australia ), Gavin Rushford ( St.Rochs ), Martin McIntyre ( St.Peters U-21 ), John Jack ( Beith ) & Andy Selkirk ( Campsie Black Watch )

Arthurlie:

In: Stephen Anderson (Neilston), James Lundie (Auchinleck), Andy Wright (Harmony Row U21), David Craig (Dumbarton), Peter Shaw (Dumbarton), Derek Scrimgour (unattached)

Out: Brian Wardle (released), James Evans (Auchinleck), John Bradford (Irvine Meadow)

I think there maybe 1 or 2 arrivals still to be confirmed.

Aye, Boot McLay for one. Shinnies at the ready!

Just another skillful midfielder added to the mix. If it is true that he has signed will be pleased thought he had his best season in a long while, impressed everytime i saw him.

Derek Scrimgour (unattached to the ball as it flies past him)

Also remember watching David Craig playing for Dumbarton and he looked really good, fair enough it was against Queen's Park but he still put in a great performance that day.

Linlithgow Rose - in - Mark Robertson (Bonnyrigg), Mark Graham (Hill o Beath), Barry Donald (Albion Rovers) G.Livingstone (Celtic)

out - Greg Logan (Boness), Gary McGlynn (released), Euan Donaldson and Andy Dick (Camelon), Robbie Feeney and Greg Burnett (released), Brian Carrigan (Hamilton Accies on trial)

Robbie Feeney and Gregg Burnett are not released but available for transfer

Are they decent, what positions do the play?

They are quality. Feeny is a striker and Burnett is a centre mid when he played for Dundee Utd and played right back and right mid for the Rose.

Why are they getting punted if they are quality?

In truth, neither played as many games as they would have wanted. Feeney knew where the net was but didn't do enough elsewhere. Burnett is a very decent player and I'd have liked him to stay at the Rose. However, there appears to have been question marks over his attitude and he didn't show face at the club for some time after the Uefa Cup Final. Whether there is a connection I have no idea but the rumour mill was on overtime! Both have the makings of good players at this level but they need a good run in a team. I think Fairley wants to make space for a few of his own signings.

They're keck, that's why they're being transfer listed.

Burnett played well against you when we pumped you at yours. What a goal he scored!

Out
Alan Dickov,Mikey Farquhar(broxburn)
Kenny Martin,Shaun Martin,Graham Baird(Hill of Beath)

Steven Maley is available for transfer at his own request.Any inquiries to pjfc1990@googlemail.com

I see that Maley might be getting signed by Cowdenbeath, he's still on trial there.

So will that mean we will get less compo if they sign him or is it still the same rules,ie signing on fee plus 40 times week salary.He still has a year of his contract you see.

The compensation formula only applies to out of contract players moving to another Junior club.

If he's under contract then Pumpherston will set their own fee, and that's the case if the potential buyer is Junior or Senior. However, it is a balancing act. Maley could choose to sit the last year of his deal out, turning up week after week getting his wage (if applicable) but not playing because he's asked away. Sometimes clubs just cut their losses and accept a nominal fee. Also, a move to an SFL club is a move upwards. Clubs that make it hard for players to progress their careers might end up getting a reputation of doing so, and that could have a negative effect in future when it comes to signing players.

Burnett had potential but Feeney is hopeless. You cannot play football when you spend the whole game staring at your feet.

according to sauchies website ; players in> dougie swan, andy traub, kevin connors, kieran grattan, stuart innes, alan kirkwood,les george, alan comrie, scott stenhouse, players out> lee black, barry thomson, scott wright. any info on signed grately appreciated?

Lee Black signed for anybody else?

Sauchie signings: I think Alan Kirkwood was on LR's books very briefly maybe 3/4 seasons ago. If it's the same striker, he was signed by JS from a Linlithgow Rose under age side (no connection to the big side). The lad came on late in a game, scored a spectactular goal and disappeared completely from the squad. He was "farmed out" to one of the lower league teams in West Lothian and then eventually released.

Kelty Hearts

Players in Jordan Laird (Rosyth)
Craig Morrison (Rosyth)
Ryan Blackadder (loan East Fife)

Players out Andy Rollo (Ballingry Rovers)
Darren Seath (Steelend Vics)

No need for any major changes to be honest. All we need is for the defence to work more as a unit and we should do okay.

sorry, no info on lee black. but who ever signs him will have to give him a jag to get him going!

Alan Kirkwood played for Linlithgow before going to Pumpherston then he joined Armadale then went on loan to Stoneyburn,theres also an Alan Krkwood playing for Steelend i dont think its the same one though.

Alloa local paper this week talking about Sauchie's signings:

the website says it's alan kirkwood> steelend

The same guy who let Kenny Miller score 5 at Ibrox in a 7-1 defeat!

I thought there would have been a few clubs over this way interested in signing him. I
hope he does well for Arthurlie.

Hope he has a good season aswel. He looked pretty solid when he came into the side towards the end of last season.

Rumour down this way that Medda have signed Andy McLaren from us.

Can now confirm John McLay (Cumnock) to the list.

Heard Scrimgour had a bad back, hope you've no signed a dud!!!!

He's been out the game for a few years through work commitments (copper iirc). Maybe Fabi's coaxed him out of retirement!

Quite a few Coppers in the team now (Fabi is a great source for players lol). Dont know about a back injury but he is in to push Peter Shaw and also provide some coaching. Branco, Fabi and Jimmy have done a good job recruiting for this season.

aye an hes house hunting in ravenspark

is that the same Gary Lynn that played for Forfar a couple of years ago

Yep.

We only had Dave Gormley on trial from Glenafton.
Unless somethings happened i don't know about we haven't signed him yet as far as i'm aware.

You should then , saw him a couple of times last season he looks a decent player.

Quote from Glens chairman John Timpany on his forum slot:



Sounds like a pre-contract agreement.

Didn't know that.Cheers.

Glad to see Ayr keeping us up to date with things as usual

From what i saw of him in the frindly against QoS he is worth a shot.Certainly looked more mobile and threatening than Prunty in that game.

Gratton's a quality player, centre mid who has been at rosyth for years (i'm sure he had a brief spell at east fife a few years back) and Andy Traub is a young, but big & strong centre half who was on celtics books before moving to clyde, cowdenbeath and on loan at dundonald last season. Stenhouse isn't great technically, but will kick anything that moves and not fun to play against, so should be a decent addition and I think he's gone as player coach.

Not a clue about any of the others though

same alan kirkwood that played for pumfy and armadale.played for steelend last year
think he scored 28 goals.

lee black had a unsuccesful trial with airdrie united 3 weeks ago.he is currently on trial with linlithgow rose he is also reportedly been watched by the barcelona scouts who have travelled with the first team squad to st andrews.

Ross Gunnion (Tayport) to Kinnoull.
