Super Elgin City

Starting to get really scunnered now with the lack of updates or anything from the club. Every other club seem to be announcing signings galore. We can't even get an update on pre season friendly fixtures from our club. The players were back to start pre season training on Tuesday night. Is it too much to ask to give us some sort of update? Worrying signs already for me after 2 abject league 2 finishes.

Would like to see Liam Harvey come in, seems an obvious loan for all parties. I believe Ross Draper is on a 2 week holiday the moment and the team are back for pre season train on Thursday. Hopefully a lot of work is going on behind the scenes, or as above I really fear for this season.

Still very poor updates. There must be someone else at the club has the password for the social media accounts and at least post something. Hearing Forres away 22nd of June and Caley away on 8th of July in friendlies. Why is at least that not being published. We do not do ourselves any favours at times.

Do not think he is close to fitness yet. But I still think it is worth the gamble with him. Mabye on reduced terms until he could come back from injury. I see we are now the only club in league 2 that have not signed a player yet. News out of the club seems to be even slower than normal about everything, which is some going.

Think if Darryl was still in contract it might have been a different call. Waiting on a new contract at the same time as a squad overhaul by a new manager is always going to be a tough one.

Huge call in Drapers 1st day in. Darryl did an interview with the P&J calling for Draper to get the job a couple of weeks ago as well. Bet he regrets that now. Big call to bin the local lad straight off the bat.

Totally agree. On 1st thought it does seem an almost lazy appointment. But he will certainly have a lot of contacts within the game. Cove going full time could be a decent avenue for some players who will remain part time mabye. Interesting few weeks ahead.

Be very interesting to see if Montrose have paid 50k for him. Seriously doubt it will be that much

Interesting news that Elgin have pulled out of the North of Scotland Cup and entered the Aberdeenshire set up. Very good news for the youth set up I would say. Gives a link to the 1st team above under 18 level now. Well needed especially with all the comments about struggling to recruit South based players.

Would say he was decent, no more no less. Would have him back though. Maybe needs a decent run in the team to kick on.

It could have been hearsay but I did hear they had paid for a top level KC. Gavin Price maybe would have been involved. Know that they did expect a big suspension at the minimum.

Kane Hester's interview in the Press & Journal today sticks in the throat a good bit too be honest. A lot of his points are understandable with regards to playing at a higher level and closer to home. But I cannot help but feel him claiming he kept us up by basically playing with broken leg for 2 months is massively far fetched. Also the huge factor he has failed to even mention is that Elgin paid for an expensive lawyer to defend him in his laughable court case which he somehow got away with. Him putting in a transfer request right after the last game of the season feels like a massive kick in the teeth to us. The fact he has done that is bound to effect the transfer fee Elgin will now receive.

I have thought similar but his reaction at full time on Saturday was certainly not of someone who didn't care. Was really animated for several minutes and along with Darryl probably celebrated the result the most in the team.

Now after that worry is gone what do the club do for next season? Have Draper & Charlie done enough to now be given the job? Seems to be a good mix and still allows Draper to play.

Tell you what might have been missed in all the celebrations at the end. Russell Dingwall did absolutely brilliant to chase down a breakaway at the very end before the free kick that won it for us. He not only stopped the break but somehow managed to keep possession and start the Elgin attack ended up winning the game. Happened right in front of me. Truly a brilliant piece of skill and desire.

There really is nothing like football. Awful game today and looking like needing something at Bonnyrigg next week to stay off bottom. Then the scenes when Draper popped up with that 94th minute winner make it all worth while. 7 points fae 9 at BB in the last few weeks have kept us up. What a relief

Real bad day for us today. Could not have went any worse. Another huge game at BB next Saturday now. Do not want to be be going to Bonnyrigg needing to win to stay off the bottom on the last day

Massive win today. Much like Tueday crowd right behind them the whole game helped the team along. Really good day. With the other results going our way as well this has went a long way to guarantee safety. Totally agree on Cairns. He was outstanding today and I thought he was on Tuesday also, In a position that he badly struggled earlier in the campaign.

As gut wrenching as that late equaliser was last night that was the 1st bit of light at the end of the tunnel I have seen for months. The performance was decent, but more than that the whole crowd was behind the team the whole game with no negative shouts. If that continues on Saturday against Forfar I can see us possibly getting out of this mess.

https://planetradio.co.uk/mfr/local/news/elgin-chairman-backs-manager-to-turn-around-miserable-form/ Was genuinely stunned when I seen it. Never seen such defeatist nonsense in my life. Need change from top to bottom of the club, regardless how this season pans out.

Yet another defeat without laying a glove on East Fife. We are on a horrendous run of form now. Really am finding it difficult to seeing the management team seeing out the season. Now very worried about dropping into the Highland League.

Totally agree. So poor to watch. Without Hesters goals this season we would be comfortably adrift at the bottom

Another shocker of a defeat albeit with 10 men. Really really poor at the moment.

Hester booking was a certainty. Another shocking defeat for Elgin.

Can the SFA still step in an ban him now or is that the end of it. Pleasantly surprised by that verdict i must say
