    Not my club Nitten but a good mate of mine has been a supporter of the club for over 45 years.

    He actually doesn’t mind Mr King and has said that the rumour he has heard is that the u20’s manager and his staff want king out so they can try and land the job so have been posting on here to try and stir up some traction against him, having read some of the previous posts on here that might well have some legs, it’s an open forum so I though I might as well just Chuck that grenade in. If it’s true or not i don’t know.

    I am the manager of Nitten Star u20s. Neither me nor anyone connected with the u20s have posted on this thread at any point. The first team stuff is absolutely nothing to do with me, or us, do not involve us in this conversation again.

    We enjoy it at the club and are half way through a 3/4 year project with a very young exciting squad and we want to see that through to the end before the players move on to play in the senior game. We have been approached about first team jobs elsewhere and turned them down for these reasons, so to suggest we are desperately making up rubbish on forums to get a first team job is absolutely nonsense. Its pathetic. 

    "if its true or not i don't know" - I would suggest you know fine well it isn't true. You realise saying stuff like that could cause rifts or issues at the club, or perhaps that was your intention here.

    People have far too much time on their hands, find something useful to do rather than spending time talking absolute rubbish on faceless forums.

    In typical Scottish football style, anyone who does well and might move up a level or take on a bigger challenge gets slated, and usually by guys who couldn’t/wouldn’t be up to the task themselves.

    It sounds like the gentleman above would rather Craigroyston folded than an amateurs management team step up and give it a go.

    Not sure if it’s jealousy or simply making yourself feel better by way of trying to put others down.

    This could be complete nonsense from me , but with the amount of " semi pro " teams through the east a lot of young players  or guys that think they are too good for amateur level choose that instead of a good amateur club which could be the reason for not having enough quality to do damage in the majors . 

     

    Exactly right, loads of options for players. Many would rather go and sit on the bench for Arniston or Easthouses rather than play amateur every week so they can feel better about themselves and pretend they have made it down George Street on Saturday nights.

    Good win today, was down watching with the wee man.

    First half missed a penalty, were really passive and a bit laboured but never troubled.

    Second half was men against boys and could have been more! Couple of the goals were top class build up and finishes. Stand outs for me were Kerr Young who strolls through games, Brett was class and McGachie who was unplayable 2nd half... but the boy Horne is like a Rolls Royce and everything he done was to a standard above everything on the park - class.

    Amateur football is dying

    I have been running an amateur club for 13 years in Midlothian and I would 100% agree that amateur football in this area is at the weakest it’s been in all those years. We had teams from every town playing Sat and Sun - Roslin, Penicuik, Gorebridge, Dalkeith, Loanhead etc and they are virtually all gone now.

     

    Many reasons as discussed above. But without doubt number 1 is that the players are simply not as arsed as they used to be. Simple as that.

    DUNCAN HOOGERBEETS

    Hi folks, I’m doing the programme for Hawick RA v Bonnyrigg on Saturday in the Scottish Cup and been asked to do a bit of research on a player called Duncan Hoogerbeets.

    All I know is that he played for Bonnyrigg in the 60’s. Anyone with more info or could point me in the right direction of someone with more info would be much appreciated.

    Cheers.



    Did you find the info, and was it included in the programme? Duncan is my uncle

    No, that was Ryan Couser. The Keeper on the bench today was Thomas Cordery, last Club was Dalkeith Thistle.

    Thomas Cordery plays for Danderhall MW AFC Saturday amateurs and Salters Athletic FC Sunday amateurs in the LEAFA amateur league. Released by the clubs to allow him to take part for the day before returning to the ams to see the season out before returning to Junior or Senior football next season.

    He has represented LEAFA and Scotland amateurs Select Squads this season.

    League set up 2015

    As I've previously said, the EOS board should be proactively looking to recruit new teams. I am happy to apologise if I am in the wrong here, but it seems they are just happy to let things slowly get worse rather than go all out to recruit.

    Berwick and Hibs have had teams in the set up recently, maybe an approach to similar clubs on that basis? Or the other Universities that don't currently have a "senior" team competing at that level (QMU, Napier). Or of course maybe even speaking to David Ramage at LEAFA about encouraging applications from some of the amateur clubs and then maybe even working with them to support them.

    The criteria for me would be key - it's far to pie in the sky and although it's great to have a clear distinction between EOS and amateur, and it's always great to encourage high standards, the entry criteria should be relaxed to ensure the very survival of the association.

    Surely having to play at a ground with wee changing rooms and no fencing is better than no playing at all, coz that's the way it's heading.

    Massive 12-24 months for EOS, I hope it's positive but fear it won't be.
