selfassemblyshire Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Shire must have a few alsoI'm thinking at least 8, possibly as high as 11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Of course, Peterhead don't have anyone who's ever played at a higher level. Apart from Fleming who's played in the Premier League, the Championship and Scotland U21s; Boyle, who played in the Premier League and was on the bench for an FA Cup tie between Everton and Chelsea; Dunlop, who's played Scottish second tier (old First Division); Ferry, who played in the Premiership with Dundee; Stevenson, who played in the old First Division and for Real Mallorca B; Brown, who played in the Premiership and the Europa League with St Johnstone; McAllister, who has 49 Premier League appearances with Caley Thistle; Leitch, who played Premiership and Europa League with Motherwell; Dow, who has 134 top-flight Scottish appearances with Dundee Utd and Ross County; McCracken, who has over 200 top-flight Scottish appearances with Dundee Utd and St Johnstone; Gibson, who played in the Premier League for Kilmarnock; Lyle, who played in the Premier League with Accies and in the second tier with Dundee and Partick Thistle; and Reilly, with 28 Premier League appearances with Dundee. Apart from that, nothing. They only have three players in their squad over the age of 22 who've never played in the top two levels of Scottish football, and only five over the age of 22 who've never played in the top flight. So I don't know Peterhead can be expected to cope with Kelty Hearts and all their league-hardened superstars... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Heid Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 20 hours ago, gogsy said: Its a load of nonsense dumb heid, how many players from the SPFL have we invested in ? I think three of the current squad were signed or were at SPFL clubs before signing for us Elliot Ford signed last year from Brechin and Scott Dalziel and Stephen Husband who both signed over three years ago. The only other player in the squad with a decent amount of games is Scott Christie who hasn't played in SPFL since 2011 as far as I can see. Never said anything about players from the SPFL - my point was you having a comparable budget if not bigger than most clubs in the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ? Are you on drugs. Their budget will be below all the teams in the top 2 leagues as well as Airdrie, Raith and probably half a dozen others.

Kelty’s budget is definately nowhere near that of Clyde, Peterhead, Elgin, Annan, Edinburgh city etc. Look at the prize money for league 2, and that doesn’t include league cup, challenge cup, Scottish cup prize money that these clubs can bank on. Compare that to the Lowland league and you can see why it’s such a difficult task for the non league side to win the playoff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet Edinburgh City are still above you in the league and you can’t get out of league 2. something not quite right somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie n beans Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I have major doubts on Ferguson as manager, Kelty are going in the right direction in all aspects, I just think they should go for a proven manager, in my opinion it's a step backwards if he does get the job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikipedia and Transfermarkt. My reason for checking was because it looked like McInally was talking up the league experience in Kelty's ranks as though it almost put them on a par with Peterhead. Fair enough, it's a good way to motivate his players and the fans. But if Kelty are "league standard", Peterhead must be Premier League standard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingernuts Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 some folk on here need to get there head out of their arse. guy made a throw away comment. “They have invested in some players from the SPFL so they will be no mugs and it will be a game where we will need to be at it to win” definition of some = an unspecified amount of number. get a life for facts sake. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep all Celtic supporting children away from him in supermarkets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
