NELLY Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Mcgregor was unbelievable for us and gave the best centre half showing up at brechin one day ive ever seen. For me Mcgregor and chopper. Always had great centre backs. Big joe was immense. Loved big John Ward. Davie white was excellent too. Innes was a leader and a great fit for us at that time but not as good as a mcgregor or chopper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Fife Cup has some new members for next season! We've been drawn at home to Kelty Hearts while Dunfermline host Hill of Beath. East Fife travel to Dundonald Bluebell and Burntisland host Raith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenLoyal Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I actually thought the small amount of time McGregor was played in midfield, he actually looked better! We gave East Fife a pumping and he was literally untouchable. Jay Stein also scored a cracking free kick.As above though, we've been absolutely spoiled with excellent centre halfs over the years. Chopper and Inness probably take it for me though. What was the script with Chopper not playing for us again? A fall out with Nish rings a bell? Travesty if so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenLoyal Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Also, was it not Chopper that got absolutely rattled square in the coupon with a drilled shot from point blank range at East End Park? I've never heard a whole stand give it an 'OOOOOOOOHHHHH' after something like that. He barely flinched when it would have took any other player on the pitch right out. Hard b*****d. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could the club possibly arrange a game or two in the north west of England during pre-season, possibly Cumbria, so we can enjoy a good day out.... and I don't have to travel far for a game? If not, north Wales will do! Ta 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong the best defender in my time but McGregor was superb in the middle of park as well (scored a few goals) so I would be tempted to move him forward. 1 hour ago, CowdenLoyal said: I actually thought the small amount of time McGregor was played in midfield, he actually looked better!

Armstrong never recovered from a bad injury, I think he was on a lot of steroids and ended up putting weight on. Sad as you see that donkey Lithgow playing in the top flight and Armstrong was a level above him. 1 hour ago, ronaldincoo said: McGregor was a good player, especially when he came back off loan but he was always a free kick waiting to happen. Don't think he ever went on loan, he was a very rash young lad though but he matured well. Loved his attitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many teams to choose from there though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute cesspit of a place but a lovely old ground that staged one of the final games played by many of the Busby Babes in 1958. It's also a lovely drive though the lakes from our part of the world, though the locals are something else! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Yeah we played Dunston Federation. We also played Bedlington FC or something like that. Did we play Billingham Synthonia? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Workington, there's a decent day out at Kendal, whilst there's now Carlisle City in the North West Counties... plus Penrith… and a bit beyond Cumbria is Lancaster, which is a fine drinking town and decent ground.
