Markka Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 How was the game? I thought it was pretty competitive stuff for a friendly, and in my, ahem, unbiased opinion a draw would have been a fairer result. Tam McManus scored the only goal about 20 seconds into the match!

ardeerultra Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 A good game today, a game we dominated at times and deserved to get something. Very impressed with the Gartcairn keeper some cracking saves, the centre midfielder and obv Tam scored a good goal!. Good bunch of guys at Gartcairn, came Over and spoke to all the boys and had a laugh. Good to see, Good team who will certainly be challenging. Best of luck for the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBadBoaby Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Was blowing out his arse according to his Twitter but no doubt he will score 25-30 goals in that division if he stays fit class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrdavidson95 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I don't understand how on Facebook McManus' goal is referred to as "the fastest junior goal" when it wasn't a competitive match. Surely records only count in competitive matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOA Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Gartcairn were understandably keen to win their first game and did so,Ardeer brought on about 7 subs,Gartcairn not nearly as many.That made it hard to gauge how good either team was.Except for their keeper no player really stood out.All the best to them in their first season.

Surely records only count in competitive matches. It's classed as a junior friendly.....team sheets go into hampden.....so if like is quoted and mcmanus scored in 10 seconds then is it the fastest goal in junior football?

I can't find the match report, but I think Glencairn played a friendly in recent years v Renfrew in which Renfrew scored after 8 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markka Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Perhaps Gartcairn mean that it's the quickest time it has taken a team to score in junior football (less than a minute into their first match). Not particularly caring if it's a competitive game or not, I'd be claiming something similar if the roles were reversed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.Irvine Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Ian watt scored for Carluke last season in a league match against lesmahagow after 7 seconds .Fastest junior goal I've heard of was Alan McCrae for Ek Thistle after 5 seconds, about ten years ago, think it was at Kilbirnie. Straight from centre, ball was touched to McCrae who hit it first time from the centre spot over the keeper. Thistle have a framed copy of the back page of the Ek News about it in their snack bar/portacabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtg1971 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 i was never talking about junior fastest goal ever! quite simply EVERYTHING that happens in gartcairn juniors is HISTORY! Didnt think it would be that hard for people to understand but hey ho! Were waiting on 1st yellow card, 1st red card, 1st hat trick ... and the list goes on! The joys of having a blank canvas.

Gartcairn Army Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Ardeer Thistle 0 v 1 Gartcairn Juniors Gartcairn travelled to Ardeer yesterday in what was always going to be a tough test and a steep learning curve and it could not have started any better. After a very warm welcome and meeting the Ardeer Ultras of which I am now a fan, Gartcairn went ahead when a Mcfarlane through ball allowed Tam McManus to muscle his way past the defender and lob the ball over the keeper giving him no chance 0 v 1. The home side took control of the game and had 2 or 3 decent efforts at goal as Gartcairn struggled to keep hold of the ball. Gartcairn number 9 Connor shields was causing the home defence some problems with his electric pace but both teams struggled to create any real clear chances. Second half was similar to the first although Ardeer did create 2 excellent chances when a shot from the edge of the box was superbly turned round the post and the away keeper stopped a 1 on 1 with 13 minutes to play. cairns best effort in the second half was a Cameron volley from 20 yards just cleared the bar. FT 0 v 1 Can't thank the guys at Ardeer enough for yesterday for their hospitality and very warm welcome and all at Gartcairn wish them all the best for the season. I must mention the programme was superb and very detailed also and we appreciate the time and effort that must have went into that, Mon the Ultras,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
