A question for the SJFA, I don't know the answer.

Colin Spence, assisted by Willie Lyle.

We were missing Dunsmore, Maguire, Blane and McManus. All of them could have been starters, but no excuses, every team has injuries.

Not much to add about today's game, the highlights tell the story. Kilbirnie beat us by the length of Sauchiehall Street. No complaints, bad day at the office, on to the next game.

Points on the board are always better than games in hand.

It wasn't a classic, but considering it was 4th top of the WoSFL First Division v 2nd top of the Lowland League and it was an incredibly evenly-matched encounter, that made it interesting in itself.

Glens have still to play Kilwinning (away), Johnstone Burgh (home and away), Shotts (home) and Ashfield (away). We have already played twice against Petershill (two wins), Blantyre (two defeats) and Drumchapel (two draws).

I get the intention of what you're meaning to say, however that's an unfortunate turn of phrase you have used. Ashfield are where they are on merit for their performances and results on the pitch, and have every right to be there amongst the big spending teams around them, as have the likes of Blantyre, Shotts, Glencairn and Petershill.

Showing your ignorance of how it is decided who gets into the promotion play-off. It is a 4-way agreement between the Lowland League and the three feeder organisations, and for it to be changed it requires all four parties to be in agreement. So the WoSFL Board cannot just change the rules and nominate a non-champion team.

Drumchapel United v Petershill is on Friday night, might catch out a few late predictors.

Clinton Onotu, Lee Hadden and Owen McGinty.

Very few goal chances at either end, to be honest, two very evenly matches teams who cancelled each other out.

Keelan was the Colts' best player and biggest threat yesterday against Glencairn, although after the initial half hour we managed to stifle his threat and Colts never really looked like scoring after that.

How are EK getting on with their Bronze level licence ?

I'm curious - you show one potential extra relegation place in your graphic of the Premier Division, but you don't show it in your graphics of the First, Second and Third Divisions, is there any reason why not ? There are actually technically still two extra relegation places in all of the leagues down to the Third Division. Also, you don't show the potential extra promotion places in the First, Second, Third and Fourth Divisions.

Disappointing to exit the South Challenge Cup in a penalty shoot-out after matching Cumbernauld Colts from the top of two leagues above us in every aspect of the game this afternoon. Still, we can take a lot of confidence from that. We've actually only lost one cup tie all season, as we've gone out of the Scottish Junior Cup and the South Challenge Cup on penalties, I don't class those results as defeats. Penicuik Athletic are the only team to have beaten us in a cup tie so far this season, in The Scottish Cup. Results elsewhere this weekend also meant we stay in 4th place in the league and very much in the promotion discussion.

There aren't many match-attending Clyde fans left in Rutherglen. They left the Royal Burgh two generations ago. Although the Rutherglen Reformer continues to report on their games, you generally have to look on the inside back pages while Glencairn and Cambuslang Rangers are generally on the back page.

Lol, that's one of the best replies I've read on here for a while.

He probably doesn't even know himself. He'll probably reply saying something about Sevco.

In time, yes. When the teams who have more financial clout than us have all moved up (which will happen in time) then Glencairn will be in a position to join them, assuming we keep our Scottish FA licence. Whether that happens during my time involved with the club, who knows ? But at least we have given future generations of Glencairn custodians the opportunity to do so, which previous generations couldn't.

Access to The Scottish Cup, yes, but not access to promotion to a higher level.

Quite simply because the SJFA were not part of the Scottish football pyramid at the time, and weren't going to be under the leadership of Tom Johnston. Getting a license meant that you had to be playing in a pyramid league. Talbot only got access to The Scottish Cup through winning the Scottish Junior Cup regularly, or the West Region Premier Division.

Prior to the formation of the WoSFL, Rutherglen Glencairn were in a league set-up that had no potential for progression above the Premier League, and we had no access to Scottish FA Licensing and no access to playing in The Scottish Cup. The formation of the WoSFL changed all that and opened all sorts of doors for us.

Lol apologies, no offence was intended.

It was ok, but not as big as we had at the game at our place earlier in the season. Rangers were playing on the telly and Celtic were at home, so that obviously had an effect on the fair weather fans.
