Tayport 4 St Andrews 0
Lucky to get nil. Toothless.
Could be a long season unless it's a particularly weak league.
My first game since Feb 2020.
No masks required.
Decent turnout but you get more people in the ground at a car boot sale anyway.Was it a bad watch mate?

Extraordinary appointment on the face of it, Ray MacKinnon's announcement as manager can't be too far behind.
MacKinnon will expect wages that Brechin can't afford so i would be very surprised if he is appointed

Appreciate there is a lot of change happening behind the scenes (as voted through on Monday).
However wondered if we are getting any nearer to having on field issues settled?
With only 5 weeks away from the season starting again i would like to think a new management team would be put into place by the end of this week as it only gives the team a limited amount of training sessions before the season starts and what's even more concerning is the lack of a squad. The new management team will have a job on their hands working with the same squad again.. any decent players up for grabs will be snapped up so will be a case of chipping away at the side and adding when they can.

It was voted through, pretty large majority. I imagine the manager and signings will have to wait until it’s decided what league we are in. They have invited applications already so they will have to sift through those and interview candidates. I wouldn’t expect much news for another week at least.
On the EGM, I thought some valid questions were made and I thought Grant Johnston in particular spoke well. I’m not as worried as I was previously but do still have concerns around the 25% potentially allowing as little as 3 people to make decisions.
I would also like to express thanks to the outgoing committee members, they have done a fantastic job over the years and their input will be missed. Looking forward to seeing them enjoy watching the team as supporters.
Cheers for the update, a step in the right direction by the sounds of it and hopefully get a bit of light soon on our next league destination

Anything decent come out of last nights EGM?

I’d imagine they’d prefer to wait and see if it’s at all possible to go ahead and complete 50% of the fixtures first. Whilst PPG is a more sensible option than null and void it does still have unfair consequences.
You just never know when this mob and i am pretty sure the top 6 would be more than happy to play out 50% of fixtures. Would be better someone going up and giving them a chance in the Lowland than not.

Is it today the EOS release their confirmation of the Null And Void that was agreed by All Clubs Prior to Restart ?
No today is the day where the league decide the PPG and declare the champions as being Jeanfield Swifts..... Mic Drop

Good to see you again when talk of a new manager is kicking about.
Always keen to see what's going on for the best of the club. I hope you are well

Was the wrong appointment in the first place IMO however, that is done.... The team have looked totally disjointed and the shape all over the place in games. Fair enough having attacking flair, however, there is no clinical finishing and certainly no structure defending as a unit. The new manager will have a job on his hands and no doubt pressure from fans to succeed fast.
Philip McGuire has had successful stints at St Andrews and Carnoustie with promotion and league title (last season would have been theirs) worth a punt
Thomas Courts also very handy and doing well at Dundee United with plenty of contacts...... McCunnie and Gibby also other ones in contention i would have thought...... appointment will need to be quite sharp though

And i'll tell you what's embarrassing is someone starting a thread about Blackie
Correct

Some of these comments from Tranent fans are embarrassing regarding black. His two yellows were well derseved and it looked like his rash challenges were somewhat out of frustration with him not playing regularly in the starting 11. He also had a high feet challenge after his first yellow and also wiped out a swifts player while on the attack just before he got his red.
Tranent played better without him but it was a thoroughly deserved win for Jeanfield swifts who impressed me again.

One thing i don't really understand though is Stevie Campbell has outstayed the last 2 managers? Surely an assistant manager will have a big say on team selection, formation and training etc....... unless he is helping fund the club is some way?
I would have liked to see a whole new management team rather than dead wood....... Just my opinion

Apologies let’s give him a chance

What i can't understand and this has happened a few times, why just go and approach a manager instead of going through the proper process of interviewing potential candidates that have expressed an interest and have the quality to progress the club. They might even be able to see something different that may influence the club going forward even if the guy that is interviewed is not successful. Surely they must have received a few decent CV's to mull over and potentially bring in for talks. OOOO No, not us, lets just talk to Tom, Dick and Harry coz they have managed at a similar level. Jobs for the boys, get a grip and appoint someone worthy of the position and lets get the club moving forward again instead of the continuous decline.

Been here before with Experience and not always the best appointments as Barry Smith and a few others proved. I fear the worst if it's a few within the Tayside area.....
Head its Stuart Garden
Has he been a gaffer before?

Heard Tayport have certainly improved which is good to see and the top 4 in that league will be interesting.....
Surprised Saints haven't strengthened after a frustrating previous season for them, but a hard area to attract players....
