A shame, the dunipace team they all came from were really good. I just feel that Sludden and Allen needed time to develop physically. Ewing has been great by all accounts but helps when youre 6'3 at 18 haha.
Kyle Ewing in the last third of the season was one of he best defenders in the LL. The boys need game time and that would be few and far between at Shire

Really depends on who resigns from last season and the new players coming in.
At least they have a manager who has experience of this league which is vital.
He has very little experience tbh, I don't buy into the narrative that him and George spin about 'turning the club around'. He doesn't know the level at all, his recruitment at Shire (bar Niyah) was poor.

Deserves everything that comes his way then.
If the referee identifies the correct player, which might not be the case.
I think Comrie might have been shown a straight red too.

6 red cards. 4 B U and 2 shire
I'm sure it was Comrie who was sent off after the final whistle. Him and Rodden were both on yellows so yet to be confirmed if it was a second yellow that was given or a straight red.
Ref lost the plot early doors. Numerous bookings for nothing meant that when the game got a bit feisty the red was always coming out.
Interested to see how the league deal with McCormack and McGregor who were given a red whilst suspended etc. Not sure that Gibbons and Skinner would've seen red if the ref had it under control, I think the foul sounded worse than it was.
I was right at the penalty and the defenders arms were out and he gives a soft push. Not sure if the lino or ref gave it but the lino on the other side of the dugout was just as bad for biting back at the fans who quite rightly were giving him stick.
It was good to get a derby feel with a team that actually has fans. Shouting about the juniors always gets a good reaction, witnessed a few funny reactions from the home fans.
Dont think it'll be anywhere near as firey in the return leg as you are a 10 minute taxi journey from the pitch. A point was probably a fair result but the officials ruined the game for me.

Edinburgh Armchair Loyal. No chance he travelledDid you make a donation at the turnstile or as I suspect pick up the info from trolling on the internet?

This surely has to be the worst ever start yous have made to a season?Straight shot out between ourselfs and v.o.l. by the looks of it!0 -
This ia going to happen as Rangers B will win the leagueAll results count, and the B teams can still finish top and bottom its just that they cannot be promoted or relegated. The theory is that if a B team finishes top it'll be the best placed non B team that is put forward for the play off.
I would imagine that scenario is likely to be challenged by team 42 so let's see how it plays out.0 -
Jay Hogarth was on the bench for WATPa against Malmo, does this mean he can no longer play for WATPb?
I've lost all idea of what the rules for them are0 -
Have they completely cut ties with the french then?Aye, it's mostly the Scottish lads who were in the u19s last year I think. Got a few new age groups now which is good to see.0 -
They couldve called themselves Strathletico. There were so many better options.I know terrible name a feature of the league I think.
Dont mention their french connection. Very touchy subject0 -
Was it a brave performance and comeback?My first experience of Lowlands League football - Broomhill v Caledonian Braves
Despite a bad start the Braves fully deserved their 2-1 victory and played some good football in the process.1 -
[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] we were only £190, cmon leo.Is this not a post for the Shire pre 2021? [emoji1787]
Nah there's a dafty on the Facebook forum claiming Dalbeattie have had money thrown at them, the shire fans will get that reference but it wasnt serious.
Glad it was taken the light hearted way it was meant0 -
Who let Steven Murray loose on PnB?Heard that the star have had some investment and are offering £200 win bonuses.
Money talks
Really hope they can keep it up and throw a spanner in the works. It's nice to see teams with smaller budgets do well.
Our team this season are young and hungry, much more enjoyable to watch.0 -

I'd say they're safe from relegation too. No chance VOL are catching them.Star at home to Edinburgh Uni on Saturday, the Hype train might keep running for another week yet.
A win against Edinburgh Uni and the season target could be changing. Good to see [emoji846]2 -
I've seen the table posted here a couple of times but not from the LL, where are you getting it from?
The updates from the Lowland League have been shocking this year, they wanted to raise the profile of the league by introducing the colts and its been nothing but a farce so far.
Maybe some of the 50k they got (none given to the clubs btw) could go towards hiring someone half decent to run the twitter and other media outlets?7 -

I agree with more movement. This seaosn will show we can work with a league of 18, so relegate bottom and invite the 3 champions up.From my perspective I think there should be greater opportunities to move up and down the tiers .
The movement between 4 , 5 and 6 seems pretty restrictive and in favour of those further up the pyramid.
If teams meet the criteria to be in a particular tier then good luck to them as there are some clubs with real ambition and financial support to move up, I'm thinking in particular some ayrshire teams like Auchinleck and Darvel who could hold there own and in time progress to Tier 5 and in time who knows.
As for the old firm colts , can't blame them for trying to get in an give players game time. If the clubs voted it in with a majority there's not much can be done.
Previously most of them would have been in reserves but that structure seems to have stopped for many clubs, wrongly in my opinion. I suppose it does give opposition players of similar ages a chance to test themselves and there may be an increased spotlight on games.
It does present a strange league table given they cannot be promoted, currently.
2 automatic relegations spots and a playoff, with the winners of the 3 feeder leagues placed on a ppg system.
The chances of the SOSL producing a licensed champion is slim, so then the playoff wouldnt need to happen

Watching him in various roles for the Shire he's a better number 10 by a mile. Cant lead the line but has the skill to set a few upThe impression I got from the Kelty contingent on here was that Flynn was a strong, back to goal, ball to feet type of centre forward.0

Absolutely, he scored 7 in 10 for us and cant complain with that signing.
The others on the other hand were nowhere near as effective, and key players who were having a pretty poor season (Connelly until after the 5-0 game at your ground just one to mention) started to turn in much better performances.
