  1. Anyone got any idea whats happening with Drumchapel United PYM ?
  2. Is anyone aware of who, if any, the identity of the clubs who have applied to join the CSAFL ?
  3. Hearing that Yoker Utd have folded, any truth in the rumour ?
  4. Part of the problem is the number of players that a team are able to register. At a recent CSAFL meeting, we were told that the league had just over 900 players registered. With 30 teams, that's averaging 30 players for each team. With only 16 players per team getting stripped (480) , there is the same amount not participating !! that's another league in effect !! I believe that leagues should limit the number of player able to register for any one team , say 25 per team, and this would free up the player pool by about 200 players in the case of CSAFL. All you have to do is look at your opponents teamlines today, and you will see that most teams have about 30 players signed . Madness.
  5. If it sounds a bit cynical, they were always gonna fulfil their fixture in the Big Scottish and thereafter collect the cheque and disappear into the sunset. They aren't the first and wont be the last big Club to disappear. Amateur football is in the throws of an ever decreasing spiral.
  6. They sure will cause a few upsets, nothing to do with football mind you , lol
  7. He may well have left the senior game, but he is 35 and reasonably fit , not carrying any excess weight, and I can confirm that in the 4 pre season games he has played , he has been superb in all of them, as you would expect a player of his calibre to be when he steps down into the amateur ranks. Also, I have been impressed with his attitude towards the amateur game , whereby he is very patient and encouraging to the players roundabout him, including opponents, and he pays his tenner like the rest of the squad !! It may not last, but while he is with our Club, we will embrace it and hopefully learn from him and vice versa. On that point, we may well not be Bannockburn or Harestanes or any other of the top clubs, but we are striving to be better,and yes we have had some bad seasons, the same as even the top clubs, but we are a proper amateur club in the truest sense and as we move into our 60th year of existence, we will try and remove the perception that we are "shite"
  8. Bit of a disparaging comment there mate. I understand it maybe just your opinion, and you are entitled to one, but when , if ever, did you last watch Stedfast ? or last seen Craig play ?
  9. Played against Lochside in the Lochgilphead Tournament, I reckon it was 1997, before going onto the Ropeworks to play the hosts, Red Star.
  10. Div 1b looks as strong as any other leagues Premier Division !!
  11. Cambria might struggle for a season, with Mick going to Glasgow Harp and taking players with him.
  12. Decimated ? Are they only losing 2.5 players ? , lol
  13. My understanding is that the two bottom teams will be relegated as per , then the two teams who finish 1st & 2nd in the Round Robin play offs , gain promotion.
  14. Just viewing Div 1A , in the CSAFL. This has got to be one of the most open and competitive promotion battles of any amateur league. I know some teams have dropped out/relief of fixtures, but any one of 5/6 teams can get promotion. Uddingston Anvil and Drum PYM have got to be strong fancies, but Gartcosh, Stedfast and Clydebank will have a big say on the outcome. I feel Bearsden have played too many games, but you never know.
