[What's happening]

Connor Jamieson has signed for Heston. 

[League fixtures]

The league is a joke, any team playing 5 away games on a bounce at any time in the season, just isn’t right. 

The less said about the people that run the league, the better. 

[Newton manager]

People in Dumfries have been saying this for ages about him. It’s Razor that I feel for, totally screwed and betrayed by the person that he was meant to be working with. Long season ahead for Saints.

Maybe Reserves can tell us how many league games the lad has played this season

I’m sure the boy has made around 30 appearances in all comps. 

Didnt Bonnyton get deducted 3 points for playing unsigned under 20 players against Lochar last season? Surely if this boy has played after the deadline, the same rules should apply.

Shame on Stranraer players as they have been the best team and deserved to win more trophies. Teams  have been punished in the past for this mistake which unfortunately means Stranraer should be the same. They only seem to be getting punished for the cups.

Been told one of the boys registration papers Jack Marshall was messed up by mistake and was only registered to play in league games and not in cups?

Think it’s very harsh and unfair to kick them out all the cups for human error mistake and also hear they have been fined £500 and fined every time Jack played in cups

How can he be registered to play in league games but not cup games? 

He’s showing as a trialist in the suspension list which means that he hasn’t been registered at any point as a signed player for Stranraer, I maybe wrong but that’s what it looks like. 

Has the boy played any league games?

[Mon the saints]

Good result yesterday, Raymond seems to be getting a positive reaction from the players since taking job on himself. He should’ve been the sole manager anyway.

Yes Heston have finished top four.  Finished third behind Dalbeattie and threave the year before lowland league was formed. 

2012-13 

1st Dalbeattie 

2nd St Cuthberts

3rd Wigtown

4th Threave 

5th Heston

2013-14 was the year the lowland formed  which Threave and Dalbeattie moved into. Wigtown won the league and Heston finished 6th.

Nothing on the south website before 2012-13 season so may have happened then but can’t check up.

You’ve no posted results last season?? Point is they are going backwards and they’ve no changed many players. I’m led to believe the current manager was hardly present during the start to last season. No young players coming through, no signing successes and no chance o any cup finals this season. Love your point of view though. It’s as you were, don’t improve

 

Think Mids beat them twice last year and Heston beat Threave and St Cuthberts once each and lost once each. 

 

Theres still cups cups to play so still have chances, still got chance to finish higher up the league than last season.

Whats your issue with the manager? You sound like you’ve just left the St Cuthberts job and are trying to start a witch-hunt against him.

 

Hes 34, still playing aswell as coaching/managing. Still learning his trade, of course he’s going to make mistakes but refreshing to see Heston back him.

But surely Heston should be looking to overtake these under achieving teams??? I’m sure they beat terrace twice last season!!! Beat Mids!!! and beat Saints !!! They’ve all went back but how have Heston done against them this season?? What players have changed??

 

When have Heston ever finished above Threave and St Cuthberts in the south league since they joined? Have Heston ever finished in the top 4? 

You had a go at management but Heston have always been a mid table team, who have had some success in cups. Decent club, giving two young managers/coaches a chance.

 

They beat Mids at home, drew away today.

Lost 1-0 away to Threave (95th min)

Lost 2-0 home to St Cuthberts

At other clubs they might not have got the time. Went back at an alarming rate since start of last season. The league table doesn’t lie

 

Maybe since the start of last season but on the whole they finished 7th last year in a league of 15. Currently sitting 10th in a league of 16. So both seasons are much the same. Slightly worse this season so far but time to improve on it this season.

There’s a few teams fell at an alarming rate this season but I don’t think Heston are the worst. Threave, Mids and St Cuthberts are the biggest underachievers. Saints especially after splashing the money during the summer. Poor league campaigns and shockingly bad records in cup competitions.

Think to be fair to Jamie and Craig, the Milligan boy dirtied his own ticket at Heston by playing for the Dalbeattie summer league team instead of Heston at the tail end of last season. He missed the last 5/6 games including a cup final.

Hughes boy has been playing and Mckie boy has been playing uptop and out wide this season. 

As for downhill since start of last season, that’s a bit harsh. 2 cup finals last year,  not the best season this year but it’s their first management job and are still learning. 2 good football people who will do really well over time.
