    Are these guys coming in better than those that have left? Yes!
    Jamie Donnelly was one of the best keepers in the league last season , Matt Niven is an excellent centre half , Joe Slattery was excellent at Rob Roy and at Rossvale last season.. Ciaran Mulcahy’s stats of 50 odd goals in less than 70 games sounds extremely promising.. and McGonigle was one of the best players in the league last season and was wanted by several clubs but has chosen to join Bankies
    I’m delighted with the calibre of players Bankies have signed and the fact many of them know the management team should undoubtedly help
    I’m actually really positive about the upcoming season - when it starts!
    Hopefully their performances on the park can make Mr Happy live up to his nameemoji16.png
    He should cheer up as well when he hears today’s signing news - one more signing to follow and this one should put a smile on all Bankies fans faces..

    👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    This is what happens when proper football men leave or sadly pass on at once big club junior club and you let a bunch of wrestling cowboys take charge of a club.

    Already read a couple of bemused posts from supporters. 

    Saying that grand scheme of things they won't be missed in the junior cup .

    Those wrestling cowboys have nothing but the interests of your club at heart. I didn't see anyone else coming in and saving the Hill.

    To be honest i have always had a soft spot for Maryhill having lived in both Maryhill and Summerton years ago and I would frequent Lochburn when the Bankies didn't exist or when I couldn't make an away game as I work Saturday nights. 

  3. I don't think any club can really be sure of "walking it" into the top of the LL and to be honest we are now at least 2 years behind the clubs that joined the EoSL from the Juniors. I'm sure there will be a good few surprise teams now we are all on a relatively level playing field now. Interesting times ahead though.

    Going slightly off-topic here but the Scottish Seniors have or had a fair few teams whose names don't let you know where they play.  Celtic, Rangers, Albion Rovers, Queen of the South, Queen's Park, Third Lanark, East Fife, Hibernian, Heart of Midlothian, St Johnstone, St Mirren, Morton, Raith Rovers and Clyde would all be difficult to find on a map.  OK, East Fife are in, well, East Fife but that's still quite approximate and I remember that the Shire were always called East Stirling on the telly but aren't in Stirling and Hearts don't technically play in Midlothian.  Of course, Morton are now Greenock Morton and Celtic and Rangers are referred to with the prefix Glasgow but those are all later additions.  Even in the early days of the English league most teams could be placed quite easily, even if some, like Everton, are a part of a town rather than the town itself.  Scotland seems quite unique in having so many non-geographical names

    Oh, and you won't find Partick Thistle in Partick.

     

    Did Perth not used to be known as Saint johns town hence the name?
