Whether they do or don't I can guarantee that most figures will be embellished to suit said players ego. Were still going on about Shortlees destroying Thistle last game (and deservedly so) but only couple weeks before Thistle turned Lee's over. It's Ayrshire amateur league and the same old same re paying players. Its a new season lets see if Thistle come back stronger or Lee's dominate.

If they are getting paid it's wrong. That's the only "sense" in all of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawsoot Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Shortlees are a one man team take Knapp out the team there not even average . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr lector Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 HT problem was this year and last they’ve paid cash to sub standard players .. fact is they pay £30-£80 a week depending on who you are Got them nowhere this season and tbh will get them nowhere next season unless they get a better calibration player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that say about the other teams then if they won the Scottish and League having only 1 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshireman54 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 My point earlier the standard of player in ayrshire has dramatically declined but let's not forget shortlees have a decent spine through their team, Murdoch, minor, mason, gold, Knapp, shankland, Rankin all would play in any ayrshire team hurlford included obviously not a one man team.

TheBark Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Another post turned into HT and Shortlees [emoji99][emoji99]... let's change it back to the subject, anyone fancy giving us any gossip or confirmations of any departures or new arrivals?

I'm hearing that Crosshill are Confident of adding almost a full new team with the Demise of carrick, that will hopefully make them strong enough to make a challenge for promotion in the first, some of the names being banded about at craigie would also see them make a good push, although I dont know how many i believe, the two Mullen's and cargo supposedly committed to atleast pre season with them. Has anyone heard much about west kilbride, are they confident of coming back stronger this season ? Also hearing onthank will be unrecognisable from last years team, not to say that they will make the same noises about winning leagues as last season but with a new manager in I think thy will hugely improve.

B.R Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Who’s the early favourites to go up from the first? How are Catrine looking after missing out last season? West Kilbride must fancy themselves to go straight back up. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusher Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Winning the Scottish cup doesn’t make you the best in Scotland, but certainly puts you up there. looking at previous winners from the past decade, they’re probably the only team to win it without paying players, so they probably can lay claim to be being the best amateur team in Scotland this year.

I haven't heard anything about catrine as yet but my bet is that they will be there or there abouts unless the new committee and management has derailed them slightly. I really think 7/8 teams will fancy their chances in the first but will hopefully know more as the names of new signings start to come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cargo was linked with Shortlees a few weeks ago so would doubt he would go to Craigie although I think he will stay at HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
