Burnie_man Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 The statement I read was a goodbye and thank you to the Juniors. While looking forward to the EoS and running some youth sides. You make it sound like they've folded.He has a hard on for Glenrothes, remember [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 It's all about perspective. The sinking of the Titanic was a miracle to the lobsters in the ship's kitchenI don't agree with your interpretation of this, but that metaphor is so good I had to give it a greenie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Glenrothes moving from one East league to another is the death of the club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naebor Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hearing that they are becoming kelty reserves, sad way to go but I suppose they have to get players from somewhere.I’m unsure of facts but if anyone has seen kelty hearts u20s this year who have won their conference. I have to say its a good move for the club. These younger players will come from a good background with hunger and desire, also probably wanting less money than an experienced eos/junior player as well. I think with the way their season has went this could be a shining light and shows the clubs looking at long term future rather than just fielding a team. Seems sensible and good luck to them with that. Rather than spending money on ex players instead developing people who maybe aren’t quite ready for kelty first team but showed enough potential to play at a good level in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trolling me from the minute I mentioned Glenrothes in one of my posts. You’re a TJ obsessed Blackburn fan , remember. Do us all a favour, go and get a hobby and don't re-register for the 156th time.

Up until the end of the last decade Glenrothes were a very successful team with a thriving social club. They had no problem attracting players with transfers taking place regularly between them and all 4 of Fifes senior clubs and their record in the Junior Cup is better than that of Kelty. That’s how I always knew it. Since it fell into the wrong hands about 8 years ago a whole host of managers and players have been either undermined, mistreated or threatened by the previous chairman culminating in the position they find themselves in today. Delapitation order from the council, rock bottom of a league even after the defection of 27 teams to the EOS and most recently being beaten 8-1 in a consolation league cup. I would look at Crossgates and the up turn they've gone through to be in this year's EoS Premier. There's nothing to stop Glenrothes bouncing back from a relative low point. They're looking at their youth teams. So the idea of Glenrothes just becoming Kelty reserves doesn't seem true. Short term picking up some of the Kelty u20s seems like a good idea since Kelty are 2 tiers above and buying in experience instead of blooding youngsters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched Kelty U20s them four or five times when they've played in Edinburgh this season. When I first saw them, it was very much "wow". They played a high tempo passing game that other teams couldn't match and their early results backed that up. I assumed that the style of play came from Lee Wallace as their coach. As the season progressed they weren't as dominant and the scorelines were much closer. I don't know if that was down to the opposition improving or changes in the Kelty line up. They play Spartans in the Conference play-off game on Friday night, so I might go along. I would put Spartans as slight favourites based on what I've seen of both sides in the last couple of months.

Anyhow I thought you enjoyed sitting there in your white plastic chair , red dotting away until you’re blue in the face every new poster from Fife that mentioned the ex chairman of Glenrothes. Will you get a grip?! Starting to sound like the sh1t, immature patter that makes the ‘Junior’ forum on here unreadable... Fair enough, have an opinion. But grow the f*ck up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s the apology to the man threatened to be beaten up (a father of 3 young kids who played for the club for many years) posted on another forum from the chairman in question. People can make up their own mind rather than listen to a grown internet hard man. Whit?! I was more on about the page and a bit of bickering with Burnieman over f*ck all, but whatever. I’m just here for the football. Yes, give your opinion on Glenrothes but let’s not get bogged down in petty schoolground sh1te 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Confident if you check back the page you’ll realise it was Burnieman responsible for the bickering but thanks for the advice. From now on I’ll just ignore him and be more grown up by introducing f*ck and sh1te into every post.Try ignoring Pie and Bovril because trust me, everyone is heartily sick of you.
