The East Kilbride FC Thread

[The_Judge 804]

Hot on the heels of the Dalbeattie Star thread I thought I'd create one dedicated to EKFC (in addition to the existing thread showing match highlights).  Summer holidays have meant I've missed all the competitive games up to this point and was particularly miffed at missing the Dalbeattie match due to family connections but so far it's been a strong start.  Only managed home games last season but am hoping to have the odd excursion this time around.

Sean Winter sent off for two bookable offences and it's fair to say both yellow cards were a joke!!

Unfortunate for Gretna to lose goalkeeper early on to injury and no substitute keeper on the bench.

Another goalfest. Another cleansheet. Another 3 points. Just another day at the office.

East Kilbride 3 - 1 Gala Fairydean 

Winter, McBride [2].

A decent performance and EK never really in serious trouble.  Gala were better in the second half but their group of travelling supporters (mainly older gentlemen) felt the officials weren't giving their team a fair crack of the whip....and they couldn't be accused of bottling up their frustration!!  Biggest whingers I've heard at K Park although as I say they did feel aggrieved.

You'd think they would be pleased at Selkirk getting cuffed. Some people are never happy

Poor Selkirk, losing two games in one afternoon....no wonder they're bottom of the table 

[johnmc80 402]

5-1 to ek tonight. Another strong win. The league big boys visiting on sat. Hopefully pull a decent crowd. 2 attacking teams so should be good viewing. Mon the kilby

You've got to understand Craigiemack's confidence going into this season. They have won 3 out of 4 matches at the start of the season (probably for the first time in their history)

We lost the first 5 matches of this season. One of those was against your team
