Progressions in our own hands with last game against new mains at home on Wednesday, a victory secures it for us.

Have lost earlier threads.  What's the position with the keepers?

 

They normally stand within the 18 yard box and sometimes save shots.  sorry couldnt resist!

Big Nikky is still in plaster so would expect him to be out for at least another 3 weeks minimum but we have plenty of cover.

Renfrew 2-2 gartcairn.
Renfrew win 6-5 on pens
Gutted but very proud of our boys tonight, truth is we weren't at our best and if Renfrew had taken their chances in the first half it would've been story ended, having said that we made two enforced changes in the first half, Heppy off to hospital after a high boot caught him in the face, knocked two of his teeth back which ripped half the inside of his lip away, his replacement Neil schonville lasted five minutes after taking a sore one on the knee,
Renfrew took the lead roundabout the twenty minute mark but just before half time mark Tait fired in the equaliser

Half time 1-1

Second half it was a different gartcairn team who hustled and pressed every ball, Renfrew player got sent off for deliberate hand ball on the line, 19 year old jal stepped up to take the pen only for the keeper to save, the young midfielder had the brains to follow it up and fire into the goals, Renfrew 1-2 gartcairn.
It was end to end with chances for both, roundabout the 78th minute a scuffle erupted after another Renfrew late tackle and Renfrew were reduced to nine men.
Gartcairn should've saw the game out but struggled to play against nine men, hats off to Renfrew who got the equaliser on 85 mins

Full time 2-2

Next came the penalties all five by both teams scored, sudden death , Renfrew stepped up scored the sixth only for gartcairn to see noddys penalty saved to see Renfrew thru to play forth or pollok in the semis.

Super proud of our guys and the truth is we could've played a lot better,
Few positives to take out the game
We held a team two divisions above us to sudden death penalties
We did this even after two enforced changes

Bad points
We lost
We've lost two players to what seems like long term injuries
We kept our discipline

We go on, gutted but proud and with the knowledge we can play a lot better.

All the best to Renfrew in the next round and thank you for the hospitality.

Gartcairn 0-5 vale of leven

Bad day at the office for gartcairn, enforced changes, arm breaks, 3 off

Vale of leven started the game at fast pace and found themselves 3-0 up before gartcairn had realised they where in a game.
Fifteen minutes into the game before we started to kick a ball, formation change and a bit of passion kept them at bay after than initial 15

Second half saw gartcairn take control but powder puff in front of goal, game was fizzling out until vol got a disputed penalty, noddy got sent off for fouling vol player, ref failed to see the vol player handball, gartcairn lost their temperament and Tait, already running a thin line was sent off for being abusive to referee,
Just after vol broke thru and easily scored their fifth, deserved.
Kev ross lost his discipline and collected a deserved second yellow for a bad tackle.

We could have a grievance with some of the ref decisions today but truth of the matter is we need to look long and hard at ourselves.
All the best to Vale of Leven although not when they are playing us lol

Watching Gartcairn win 5-1 away to newmains today, good victory ,

A patched up Gartcairn side showed what they were capable of today, all week we've been trying to add players, struggled but got one in, today cairn were in command for most of the game with the xception of two ten minute spells in each half. Newmains tried hard but I believe as with us we're struggling for bodies too.
Thanks to bill and all his committee for the hospitality and all the best for the season

the best bit for me was I spent 90 minutes talking to Queen's Park ledgend malky mackay about all things football, from the politics involved to the future, absolute legend of a man.
Thanks davie David Greig for the introduction.
