Watched Hurlford Thistle yesterday. Signed some good ones and will stroll premier league this year imo

I heard joe gold was going back tonight too

Glenburn are miles ahead of new farm and probably Shortlees too at the moment

I concur with the second part off that but it is the strongest killie ams team I have seen since they won the league a few seasons ago. I know it's only pre season and you can't overly read into it but that was a tournament and new farm at full strength. Said it a thousand times, new farm won't know what's hit them this season when league gets underway

Yeah it can't be true as I believe galston would be pretty mad if that were the case as they could just have stayed in premier

No way they can justify that. That being said the SFA president and ex AAFA president is also troon secretary so nothing would surprise me

Plays with Hurlford Juniors

If their game against Onthank is anything too go by then yes they will lol

Can't help but think that HT were a reason for the ammies folding. Couldn't have been easy sharing a pub with a team that took your best players off you. Currie, McNally and wee Ted were huge players for the ammies

Ardeer jnrs play amateur sides every pre season and I think they are yet too beat one. Very very poor side

With respect to Galston, but if that's where HT are shopping for players this year they are in more than a spot of bother I would say

Only really New Farm and Hurlford Ams been linked with players in the premier that I have heard Crosshouse and you would have too probably say Galston

Probably a bit early yet mate. New players to a club can't officially sign till next Monday anyway but I think from next week we will hear all the goss

Thistle will always top the table because they will spend too ensure it. Glenburn normally hold on to their players so they should have a similar season too this one as will Ardeer most probably. If Hurlford AFC get the half dozen that I have heard then they will be in the mix. Kilbride are always there or thereabouts but if they are losing Wilson and Frye then they will be hard too replace. Shortlees are losing all their best players which I can't see them replacing. New Farm won't worry any of the aforementioned teams

1 Thistle 2. Glenburn 3. Hurlford AFC 4. Shortlees 5. Ardeer WR

Fs bring back the instigator

The craziest "fact" is anyone believing the worst team in Ayrshire Amateur Football could pay players

It's called rumour mill for a reason

Hiy all entitled to opinions but Strain took him up there the end of the season so his opinion is that he is worth looking at. Personally I think its step too far With all due respect to Craigie but it's easy for a decent player too stand out at that level. Mid table amateur premier is his level at the moment

Agreed

Shows the major issues of amatuer football if this is true in my opinion. The worse team in ayrshire last season managing to pay a player to join them, who finished the season playing for the buffs. I really hope it's not true as he was a great player for us last season. I can stomach losing him to a good junior team or a prem ammies team but not that. I think the pieman is pulling some pissers here

Shrewd move that

Personally I believe that far more league games should be played during the first few months off the season. Leave the local cups too as late as possible. This would ensure far more teams would still be in competitive action at the back end off the season

You lose 3 points and i believe a hefty fine as well if you don't fulfil a fixture so poor post from you my friend

The argument always seems to be well go and stop them. How can that be possible when they buy the best players? Man City win their leagues because they spend the most, Celtic win theirs, Barca/Real win there's. See the theme? That's ok as that's allowed but it's CHEATING at this level and other teams can't live with it. That's why players want too move down the leagues for HONEST competition and a chance too win a trophy. Shortlees toppled them for a season and how did they do that? They did it because the same players who took the money at HT decided too club together and try it. But that just led HT too come back and spend more too ensure that didn't happen again. The other teams in the premier do not have a chance. Sure they might get a point off them now and again but over the course off a season the players aren't at the same standard. I wouldn't be at all surprised if premier league clubs fold this year
