Thewhitepele Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Craigroyston 1-1 West Calder Utd Crossgates Primrose 1-3 Blackburn Utd Dunbar Utd 3-0 Stoneyburn Easthouses Lily 0-5 Pumpherston Edinburgh Utd 4-1 Kirkcaldy YM Livingston Utd 1-10 (Ten) Lochgelly Albert Oakley Utd 1-4 Rosyth WTF is going on at Livvy? that's an embarrassment, Easthouses getting tanned by Pumphy, Oakley beaten badly by Rosyth. Some start to the season! Worst first half of football imaginable from us. 5-0 at half time. Pumpherston have improved this year though. Start again next week[emoji460]️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullie robb Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Actually fancy Pumpherston to win the south. Good side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitepele Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Actually fancy Pumpherston to win the south. Good side. Based on yesterday no for me. We played better teams last season, so unless Blackburn/Dunbar/lochgelly are all worse this year then pumpherston won't be in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnzie09 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Was impressed with Edinburgh yesterday, albeit we gifted them 3 goals but very good side and can't see them being far away when the prizes get handed out at the end of the season.

milhoose Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Lochgelly look very good, very sharp, they should be up their challenging for title, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpherston aren't good enough to go up. Blackburn/lochgelly/Dunbar teams of last season much better than them. And I assume they've all improved.

I'm sure they'd love promotion into the premier. Travelling isn't as big an issue when you go up the leagues, standard is better, easier to attract better players and likely to get more punters through the gate. In the bottom leagues, travelling can be an issue as some players may not want to travel a lot at the bottom level in east region, support isn't generally very good and the standard of football certainly isn't the same as the above levels. Therefor there's a big outlay on spending whilst not always getting much back in from poor attendances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit tongue in cheek, however I'd say that if Lochgelly think the travelling is too much in the South (and therefore they want reform) even with 4 fellow Fife teams, they're not exactly going to solve the issue by going upto the Premier. The leap in crowds (if at all significant) would be offset by probably higher player costs and higher travel costs, that goes with the territory. Anyway, we'll see. I see they have been cut to 10/1 to win the league. Blackburn now 11/4 joint favs with Edinburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite although we have persuaded 2 of the Craigshill Th Afc players to sign along with a couple from Blackburn Utd a couple of young players from Murieston u21s and Broxburn u19s Craigroyston and a few other Amatuers players.

I'm not surprised they've been cut, some people were surprised they were such outsiders to start with given the fact they ended season well and have strengthened. Only heard promising things about them this year. Not surprised in slightest that Blackburn and Edinburgh are joint favs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dealornodeal Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 If last week's results are anything to go by looks like Easthouses are in for another thumping from Lochgelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitepele Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 If last week's results are anything to go by looks like Easthouses are in for another thumping from Lochgelly. If previous results are all to go by then football would be easy to predict eh[emoji4]Be a tough game yes. Lochgelly beat us well last season and we pumped them away from home as well. Should be a good game[emoji3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambob Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 If last week's results are anything to go by looks like Easthouses are in for another thumping from Lochgelly. another thumping? They beat us last year at the end of the season when nothing mattered. We battered them at Lochgelly 5-1 or something. Simmer down pal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
