He was a joy to watch in a Glencairn shirt when I was a teenager.

I wasn't at the game today, on a wee weekend trip away, but it's safe to say that I was quite pleased with the way my phone was bouncing up and down between 2pm and 4pm. [emoji846] It's a good start for us, but our feet are firmly on the ground. One game at a time, and we have a very difficult match next Saturday away to Cumbernauld United.

Today's result :- Rutherglen Glencairn 8 Girvan 0 (Scorers - Gary Smith 3, Jay Mckay, Del Esplin, Liam Gormley 2, Ryan McArdle.) Pictures and full match report to follow.

I hope you're correct, but we're expecting a tough game. They all are in this league.

That would be our fifth 3-1 scoreline in a row if you're correct (for and against us).

Yes there, is, you can get visible black numbers put on top of the white numbers. It's not rocket science.

I'm not sure what the "go amateur" comment is about, as white numbers would still be almost invisible on yellow shirts at any level of football from the distance the supporters area is away from the pitch at Dam Park. Whitletts deserve credit though for having people on each side of the pitch with extra match balls to get the game moving again quickly, given the wide open area of the athletics arena.

Very good point. Ok, from the grandstand they were almost invisible in the bright sunshine at the start of the game, and in the almost complete darkness at the end of the game they were just impossible to see. Even the Whitletts fans sitting beside me couldn't tell me who had been sent off in the 90th minute.
