  1. First final of the season, no surprise the big 2 involved, if both at full strength could be too close to call, might even go all the way to Pens, on paper both teams very evenly matched, odd goal in it I think 2-1 or 3-2 to someone or score draw and pens, any thoughts?
  2. Should be a close one , both coming of defeats in last games, saying their both at full strength Could be too close to call, odd goal if anything or maybe all the way to pens, even on paper I think their quality matches up, maybe 2-1 or 3-2 to somebody
  3. Very bitter comments I have to say, so why did the YM employ him, why did Lochar do the same, why did Saints do the same, why have Newton Stewart employed him? Are all these people and clubs wrong, how is he still in the game, if he’s that bad I blame the clubs that keep taking chances on him, or is it just bitter small minded people, unfortunately this is football, I’m glad a lot of people on here are not involved in the junior game then you would see cut throat football
  4. I’m assuming as their a south of Scotland member club they have the entitlement to do it, because they have been in the south league, ordinarily promoted teams would not bother but they maybe though why not it’s the chance of silverware, Queens have done it as well this year for same reason probably, there are other teams that could but don’t bother.
  5. With the season now near it’s finish I think that Stranraer have been head and shoulders above every other team this season, and I’m sure their players will flood the end of season team and I think the management will be up there when that award is giving, I’m just hoping that Stranraer FC keep supporting this south team because the catchment area down there is huge and it will always provide an abundance of players, when a Stranraer side have been in the league they’ve always been strong but never stayed for a huge period of time, there’s no point in being successful and then it all finishing up again, I hope this team stays in the league for the future, there’s teams in the league like Creetown and Newton Stewart and others that are maybe not strong every year but don’t break their involvement, I’m just hoping this young Stranraer side can stay together for many years because they could do really well, but if the club don’t support them because clubs are always changing their structures I hope they stay in the league, Stranraer Athletic again maybe!
  6. Took in the young Annan teams game against Newton Stewart last night which Newton Stewart I think deserved to win, not a great game in terms of quality but well done to the away side for continuing their recent form, it was the standard you would expect from two teams at the lower end of the table, my concern is the incentive for the young Annan lads or maybe lack of it, I saw during the week that certain young Stranraer boys had made the first team, arguably because of lack of first team players for whatever reasons but still, do Annan give the same incentive? Because I saw a team last night of young lads that looked at times demoralised and just going through the motions, is this young Annan team a pathway to first team opportunity(none of these lads are 1st team standard)or is it there just as a tick box exercise to receive funding, a team of Annan’s size should be able to recruit a better standard of player to compete better, it looks like a team that’s just there to exsist rather than serve a purpose, back to the football which didn’t get you out of your seat but definitely a few really good players on show from both sides.
  7. I was also at the Lochar thistle vs Heston Rovers game yesterday, to answer your question I’m sure it’s Jamie Struthers still but I might be wrong their a club that don’t advertise much going on’s, but they do usually have a full complement in their dugout even sometimes looks a bit over crowded if that makes any sense, on the game the Anderson lad was plain and simple the difference between the two sides, pretty poor game that Heston will be kicking themselves for not leading early on by 1 if not 2, but every team needs that prolific striker at this level, Stranraer have 2, Bonnyton have 2 and Lochar have Anderson, he’s kind of doing what Soltys done for Threave last year he’s pulling Lochar by the scruf of the neck and getting them wins that without him I’m sure they wouldn’t be getting, keeping that lad fit and available will be the key to how Lochar do over the longevity of the season, two evenly matched sides but one had a striker who knew where the net was, as I mentioned before it’s no coincidence that the top 3 as it sits all have prolific strikers, Lochar are though more reliant one 1
  8. I would imagine Because there are so many teams in the stewartry including Stranraer, Wigtown, Creetown, Newton and Threave, all fighting for the same quality of players I think St Cuthberts budget if there is one I’m only guessing might just be so they can stay relatively competitive rather than wanting to sweep everything aside, and if the players aren’t local it might take a bit of persuasion to get them to Kirkcudbright when they could play more for local sides, my opinion is they haven’t got all the best players but the Fraser guy does do a good job, in football your not everyone’s cup of tea but I think he ticks most of the boxes, but I’m sure it’s a co- management down there so not all him, we nearly had him across our way and it would have been a good appointment, well I’m off to a wet and windy Galabank to see if I can get a few good photos
  9. To be fair Gingerbread and I don’t know the guy that well but only in a football sense and he seems quite apt at what he does,but as I recall I’m sure you were one of the people who slated the Fraser guy right from the start, I read this site quite frequently,so your opinion is probably personal and very bias like a lot of people’s opinions on here, so I’m sure it can be taken with a pinch of salt, and for someone like myself who has followed the SOSFL for many years St Cuthberts were very frequently the biggest spending team at this level for many years and still never won the title or were close for that matter for 20 odd years, so I’m not sure your arguments are relevant they just look personal,
  10. I was actually at the Lochmaben vs St Cuthberts on Saturday as that’s my neck of the woods and realistically St Cuthberts should have been a few goals to the good in 15 mins after leading, St Cuthberts by far the better team on the ball they do play nice stuff,Lochmaben scored all their goals from set peace’s and a referee that again looked to spoil for both sides, Lochmaben are direct but nothing much more, St Cuthberts manager did get sent from the dugout but I do admire his passion from the sidelines I watch a lot of south football and it’s one of the few dugouts that seems to be quite intense, reminds me of the junior games, the guy gets a lot of unnecessary criticism on here but I think that’s just what comes with the territory, and I’m sure it’s all from opposing clubs/fans
