The more games local to me, the better! Would hardly describe the K Park in East Kilbride as being local to Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money they had was invested very, very wisely - on Championship and League 1 players. As you say, it's easy to get the great dressing room atmosphere when you're outspending the rest of the league and winning games. I just had a look at Dalbeattie Star's squad for this season, they have 13 players previously/currently on the books of a Premier, Championship or League 1 club. This fantasy football lark might be tougher than it looks although maybe if they just pay them more they'll try harder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fantasy football lark might be tougher than it looks although maybe if they just pay them more they'll try harder At the start of the season a majority came with the manager from St.Cuthberts, as up to 6 were tempted West by Threave. In the winter shuffle around they picked up players from around the place including some u20's. They may have been on 'the books' but did they get anywhere near a start. Doesn't make them Championship or whatever league players I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fantasy football lark might be tougher than it looks although maybe if they just pay them more they'll try harder I assume you mean the players are on DS's books and were previously at clubs at that level? Difference of course being, as I'm sure you know, I'm referring to players like Tam Reilly, Nathan Austin, Tam Scobbie, Michael Tidser, Grant Anderson, Dylan Easton, Darren Jamieson and Higginbotham who were all established L1/Championship players having played consistently at that level for a good duration rather than players who just happened to have been on the books of a Premiership club at one point in their career. At the time, all of those players would have easily played at L1 level but didn't because of Kelty's cash. Other than that though, you make a great point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wouldn't be pretending that the success that followed was because of a managers dressing room atmosphere or nice training facilities. I would admit - we are going up the leagues because we have someone throwing more money at our club. Again, I am sure the facilities and the atmosphere at Kelty were brilliant. But the reason they soared through the leagues wasn't because of that - it was because they had large financial backing. I have absolutely no problem with money getting teams up the leagues. It's fan's pretence that the money isn't the reason that makes people shake their head. Of course money helps no denying that ffs but still got to perform on the park so got to get the right manager, recruitment and squad together to begin with , money helps but doesn't guarantee anything I for one will tell you right now I'm so glad Barry Ferguson fucked off ti Alloa as we wouldn't have won league two with him in charge Thomson brought something totally different with him to the table with virtually same squad and again with Potter again virtually same squad but didn't get the results we had thought we would so aye money helps but nothing guaranteed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 As soon as Goodwillie signs for a club there is a huge media frenzy, loads of negative media coverage and sponsors jumping ship. He is 100% guaranteed to bring a huge pile of shit to any club he signs for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im far from being “in the loop.” But i usually hear about alot of things before they become public knowledge. This must be a piss take. The club wouldn’t go down that road. And i hope to f**k the new management team wouldnt be daft enough to even consider it. I can say right now, as a fact. If that is a road they were willing to go down, i wont be back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
