colinmc Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I have to say after today my mate Ross Elliot is best player in amateur football, East anyway !!! Can't say in all amateur but be hard to beat, played for Alloa 120 odd times, was at Chelsea when young. Had loads of offers from clubs but he just wants to play for fun at the age of 31 haha Class player.. Anyone else who's as good ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Interesting your sudden appearance on an amateur forum to voice an opinion on an ex senior playing amateur is unusual.Based on many years in the game at this at this level I have seen the come and seen them go.I have been involved with many players who have spent all of their careers at this level and been very successfulall of whom have played in the east and played for Scotland .Fair play if the guy is playing at this level and enjoying it.We are all here for a reason I wanted Peter Lawells job but here Iam so why is your man here.

tynie1874 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Playing with his mates that's all it is, EoS is rotten. Glorified amateurs you don't pay fees and you get a scran that's the only difference for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinto Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 not sure who the guy previously mentioned plays for or how good he is but there can't be many better than David swan who plays for Craigshill thistle and the harvester on a sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer32 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Swanny is superb another 6 goals for the harvester today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinto Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Swanny is superb another 6 goals for the harvester todaythe lad is different class. to be fair the Craigshill team he plays for are packed with top players from West Lothian. They all play with the harvester, the tav and Broxburn and are all still involved in the Sunday Scottish last 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer32 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Top quality team whole team packed with players who could easily play at a higher level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tynie1874 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 U say that but opposition must be rank rotten. Only test you get is Scottish even at that u catch a good team on a shite day who should maybe win it and its blown open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard of football in West Lothian is only getting better and there are far better amateur teams out our way than Edinburgh have to offer.

kinto Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Will see this Sunday when they play Salvesen.what are salvesen like? not seen them play. do you think they are good enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tee Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Salvesen are a very good side and will give Harvester a tough game. But i think Harvester will win the game, and will retain the cup this year. Although you never know, all the teams left are very good sides who are capable of beating anyone on their day.

Dinsey Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Who does Ross Elliot play for? Some cracking players about that have dropped levels to play with mates which I have no problem with whatsoever. LEAFA select game tonight at Fisherrow 7pm kick off so chance to get a look at some. One of my players Steven Clee is in the squad so il be down watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinto Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 any other boys you rate as the best players in the east? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wow....What a pointless thread. Out of all the hundreds of amateur teams across Scotland he just has to be the best, I'm glad u have spent the last few years scouting every player in every league to come to that assumption. The fact u added 'east' to the end of it fails to convince me you've even watched a fraction of the players from the area. If, as you say, he has played senior football then he's obviously going to be better than the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can keep swanny company as the only other player from leafa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
