Highland ITFC Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 8 minutes ago, Highland ITFC said: Could be an issue if there's injuries, but otherwise reckon there's currently a decent core to the squad - McHale, Cooper, Bronsky, McHardy, McGowan, Wilson, Roberts, Omar, Cameron, O'Keefe. Hester - plus a couple of the younger lads will also be pushing for starting places, & doubtless there will be some additional new faces coming in over the coming weeks. All seems quiet on the Shane front though. Forgot MacEwan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom & Gerry Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Club just about went to the wall a couple of times in last 20 years only to be bailed out by wealthy individuals. Kick in the teeth for them to spend money we ain’t got. Until we find a sugar daddy or Moray suddenly unearths oil, that’s the way it’s gonna be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afca32 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Anyone at the game tonight? 3 years ago we beat them 13-2 in pre-season. 5-2 not exactly emphatic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland ITFC Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 The Strathspey of 3 years ago were a far lesser proposition than the current set-up. Gordy Nicolson took over the managerial reins a bit into last season & since then has pretty much transformed the club's fortunes, with them coming off comfortably their best ever SHFL showing last year, & with the majority of players already signed on for the coming season & beyond. They're well organised & got a reasonable bit of quality, but for Elgin's part they comfortably demonstrated the difference between mid-table SPFL2 & mid table SHFL. One can't read too much into the result of a first pre-season game, but some positive signs in that pretty much all players looked fit & 'up for it'. All trialists looked decent with no makeweights like the chubby leftback that got signed a couple of season back then loaned to the juniors just as quickly. Hopefully a few more good additions to come. Style of football was very much out from the back & passing the ball on the deck, with lots of short-sharp pass & move stuff in the right areas of the pitch. McDonald looks like he'll be a big addition at the back, & he & Bronsky looked like they have the makings of a decent pairing. O'Keefe's pace will terrify a lot of fullbacks this season. Soapy & Rabin in particular linked well in advance midfield positions & around the opposition box. Will be interesting to see how things develop against Rothes on Thursday, as they are definitely a step up from Strathspey, although having said that, the Jags did beat them once last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Elgin City Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 It's either a desperate attempt from him to get Elgin to bid for him or a deal is about to be done surely. I'm starting to hope he is coming back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueone Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Turning into a right mess. Wish we hadn't signed him again. What happens if he doesn't want to go to Cove but wants back to Elgin. Can't see us accepting a lower offer from Elgin but might have to just to get rid. If he does go to Cove the same situation will rise again when he sulks because he wants away (at least it will be Cove's problem). https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/sport/football/scottish-football/wee-gers-making-move-for-striker-sutherland/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 In todays P&J that we accepted an offer from Cove but the player wants to stay local & turned the move down. Looks like he is being a twat, not sure what we paid for him but if Elgin or Lossie cant come up with a bid for something like we paid we should play hardball with him & have him travel to train every week & turn up at games but stay on the bus until after the game or with hold his wages for the rest of his contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreElgin Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Never mind the transfer speculation - we've signed Euan Spark, formerly of Brechin City. Not a player I have a clue about 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
