What a season, didn’t see it coming but I guess that’s how it goes at our level - right manager and a group of players that gel come along and it happens. Great day and night yesterday Been telling myself I don’t care what we do next season if we win this but I’m sure that will change when the first game kicks off. Thanks to supporters of other clubs for their generous posts

That was when we had Colin Cramb on our books. Fantastic player but ‘something of a disruptive presence in the dressing room’ - shall we say, being euphemistic and leaving it there. Cramb and McGrillen were scoring bucket loads of goals then we signed Easy Stirlingshire’s Iain/ian Diack and it became a top heavy confection.. I’m sure Diack was a decent player but for some reason, when he joined us it was like he had never seen a football before. We should have left it as it was. Because we were riding high mid season I forced my brother and his mate to go to Hampden on Boxing Day to see us lose to Queens Park on a cold and misty day and our demise could be tracked from that very afternoon. After that I didn’t think we would ever win a league title. My brother goes to a warriors game once every 5 years and we always lose. He has been kept away all year this time round. This team is better but not as easy on the eye - there were some great performances in that top notch half season.

So what is the procedure for deciding the date of a replay? what if stenhousemuir went in a huff about not playing on Saturday and said no to the Tuesday that has been and set (and then Elgin decided to be difficult etc etc) it doesn’t seem like the league are in charge or not prepared to enforce the most sensible solution

5 a side then? are trialists allowed in this competition or is it the old viaplay cup handicap system again? are these 3 amateurs even at the club now - after their non appearance on the bench lately? regarding our difficulty expanding the squad - is the manager not a fan of loans or are teams from higher leagues changing their practices for loaning out?
-
So what happens if there are 2 or even 3 injuries to defenders in the match - why not have Aaron Reid on the bench ready to come on if needs be? Do teams in the champions league have 1 defender, 1 midfielder, 1 forward on the bench? Signing amateurs and not putting them on the bench is a waste of time. Robs them of a chance of finding a pro contract, deny ourself an extra insurance against injury during the match. Costs us nothing financially. Daft imo

Killie v Rangers
true fan replied to deadasdillinger's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Slight diversion from the football debate - as I tuned in to sky tv, seeing the teams walk out - I was very surprised to see 2 teams sporting blue shorts and blue socks as well as vertical striped shirts,both featuring blue. I thought the powers that be were demanding ever more contrasting strips. Am I wrong? -
4 men on the bench for stenhousemuir according to bbc, spfl matchcentre. Nightmare. Have the 3 amateurs gone?

League 2 Predictions 23/24
true fan replied to Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Suppose it’s flattering but in recent years folks keep placing stenhousemuir high in the predictions and we fail to produce. One of these years they will be right I hope -
After extensive overnight research the main thrust of amateur status is expenses only and automatic release at end of season. Not sure about ending links mid-season Hope we make it to jersey. Without playing anybody whose fitness is in doubt we can involve amateurs, trialists or short term loans. We can frame it as a squad building exercise, result doesn’t matter. Pulling out now would be embarrassing, ungracious towards the hosts and most of all would instil an air of negativity within the club right before the league campaign starts

What exactly does amateur mean with regards to terms and conditions? Can be paid expenses? Expenses but no salary allowed? Can be terminated more easily by us, for example if injured? we can’t hold on to them if another offer comes their way? We can’t sell them? just wondering I’m guessing trialists will be keen on free trip to jersey
