Some great finishes and a clean sheet for the substitute goalkeeper. Not sure what your connection to the songstress is though...?

Poor Selkirk, losing two games in one afternoon....no wonder they're bottom of the table

Looking forward to next weeks game. I had you guys as title favourites so this should be our toughest test yet.

Matchday 5 - 27th August - Gala Fairydean (H): 1. Matt McGinley 2. Fabio Capuano 3. Bernard Coll 4. Barry Russell (c) 5. Craig Howie 6. Kieran Gibbons 7. Sean Winter 8. Martin McBride 9. Adam Strachen 10.Ross McNeill 11.Joao Victoria East Kilbride 3 - 1 Gala Fairydean Winter, McBride [2]. A decent performance and EK never really in serious trouble. Gala were better in the second half but their group of travelling supporters (mainly older gentlemen) felt the officials weren't giving their team a fair crack of the whip....and they couldn't be accused of bottling up their frustration!! Biggest whingers I've heard at K Park although as I say they did feel aggrieved.

Matchday 4 - 20th August - Preston Athletic (A): Preston Athletic 0 - 5 East Kilbride McNeil [2], Strachan, McBride, Victoria.

Football Nation East of Scotland Cup - 13th August - Gretna 2008(A): 1. Matt McGinley 2. Scott Stevenson 3. Bernard Coll 4. Craig Howie 5. James Brough [c] 6. Kieran Gibbons 7. Gavin Millar 8. Declan Hughes 9. Ross McNeil 10.Adam Strachan 11.Joao Victoria Gretna 2008 1 - 6 East Kilbride Victoria [2], Millar, McNeil, Winter, Osalodor. Unfortunate for Gretna to lose goalkeeper early on to injury and no substitute keeper on the bench.

Matchday 3 - 10th August - Dalbeattie Star (H): 1. Matt McGinley 2. Fabio Capuano 3. Barry Russell (c) 4. David Proctor 5. James Brough 6. Kieran Gibbons 7. Sean Winter 8. Martin McBride 9. Smart Osadolor 10.Anthony Marenghi 11.Joao Victoria East Kilbride 3 - 0 Dalbeattie Star Winter [2], Victoria. Sean Winter sent off for two bookable offences and it's fair to say both yellow cards were a joke!!

Matchday 2 - 6th August - Selkirk (H): 1. Matt McGinley 2. Fabio Capuano 3. Barry Russell (c) 4. David Proctor 5. James Brough 6. Kieran Gibbons 7. Sean Winter 8. Martin McBride 9. Adam Strachen {T} 10.Anthony Marenghi 11.Joao Victoria East Kilbride 6 - 0 Selkirk Victoria [2], Winter, Capuano, McNeil, Millar.

Hot on the heels of the Dalbeattie Star thread I thought I'd create one dedicated to EKFC (in addition to the existing thread showing match highlights). Summer holidays have meant I've missed all the competitive games up to this point and was particularly miffed at missing the Dalbeattie match due to family connections but so far it's been a strong start. Only managed home games last season but am hoping to have the odd excursion this time around. Matchday 1 - 30th July - Whitehill Welfare (A): Whitehill Welfare 0 - 3 East Kilbride Marenghi, Millar, Winter.

I was rooting for ICT but full credit to Falkirk....in that second half they made a real game of it and can be proud of their efforts.

You're joking surely....?

That was a superb strategy, you'd have switched off if you'd watched the first half ;0)

One high spot is the condition of the pitch.

Was really hoping Falkirk could make a game of it. Playing for a 0-0 is a risky strategy. Danger now is that ICT see out the next 45 mins just passing at across their back four.

I trusted my gut......

That nice looking double was over 1.5 first half goals in the SPL matches featuring - Dundee Utd / Killie, Hibs / Ross Cty & 'Well / Thistle.

Had a stoppage time return on Sunday night............two in 3 days..? Incredible. Just had another look....needed a goal in 4 different games and they came in 86, 87, 88 & 90+4. I should keep a record of this to console me over future stinkers.

Was a nice way to start the weekend St Mirren -v- Celtic, first half goals.
