    No but il find out anything you want to know. Met him at Shettleston game yesterday and he's very open on what happened at ek. Do you want to know anything and il phone him for you? I'm sure you have his number though judge haha

    So...Mr Bobo, welcome to P&B :).  Yesterday you know little or anything about the old management team's departure but are compelled to post about how strange it is 'the local paper' has made "absolutely no mention of it"?

    You then speculate blindly about the paper being threatened with a ban?!

    Today we get the tired old, and completely unsubstantiated,  lie cliche that "it's a well known thing in football circles".

    A couple of hours later you're now FULLY in the know in terms of the contract and EK's payments system and advise that if I ask ANY player at a senior or junior club they'll know all about it :lol:.

    I don't know and don't claim to know but would offer the suggestion that if things were as bad as you've suggested then surely MANY of last season's squad would have left?

     

    A junior player who was gonae sign for ek this season phoned your players and was told stay junior whatever you get offered here you won't get so I wouldn't advise it. Is a fair point though about players staying

    I saw their game against Edinburgh Uni, and thought he had a decent game. Not the greatest mobility but moved the ball well enough.

    Is Ryan just sitting in middle playing passes?  He did a good job in there for pollok last year. Think he had a spell managing as well last year

    I was at the EK game yesterday, and spoke to a player who is/has been involved with the club. He informed me that there had been issues with bonus payments to players last season, in some cases not being paid. 

    I have no reason to disbelieve what he told me, however, like everything, it could only be one side of the story.

    It's not a secret players talk and it gets round all dressing rooms. League bonus payments to players where changed and there was a lot of unhappy players there before the play off games. Ask any players at senior or junior clubs it's common knowledge

    Agreed on the young keeper, a couple of nervy drops but on the whole assured and impressive. Made a great stop from Rodgers at one point too.

    Based on yesterday's game and the others I've seen, Shire won't be challenging for the title this campaign unless something drastically changes. EK still seem stronger, while BSC are credible threats and Stirling Uni seem to have found another gear under Geddes. While Gala FR were solid, and Noble lead the line really well, they lacked a thrust in midfield and are the kind of side Shire really need to beat if wanting a return to the SPFL.

    Is the lad grant away?

    It was 5 grand for winning the league and so on for winning any play off matches, it was a massive 30 grand for promotion but obviously that didn't happen

    I'm told it was more. 5 k for league, 15 for play off and a further 20k for going up. Think the club made it all incentive based to get them to spfl and obviously didn't make it. This won't go away and could hinder future players arriving at ek thats what will worry billy stark

    £30000 if they had got promoted

    Some bonus . So why are Ek not paying it as it seems clear they owe something. It is well known in football circles this is a regular thing at kpark with money. The players where fuming as far back as the Celtic cup game when they didn't get a penny. So not a surprise to be honest

  9. I don't think billy stark would be worried at all by all this he's too experienced for that. However it does seem odd that the local paper hasn't reported this. Is it only positive stories ek allow out, or is it possible the paper has been told they would face a ban from kpark?  

  10. Not sure exactly what happened with the management team and why they weren't kept on etc after an unbelievable season. What I do find even more a strange though is there is absolutely no mention of this non payment  of bonus  story in the local newspaper. Anyone know why this may be?
