The additions this season to the Caley League have been unreal.

I can see it now the S.I.C.K. [ self interest cally klubs ] patting themselves in the back especially the dinosaurs at giffnock and cambusbarron with  " I told you so " attitude so when you read this ask yourself  are you really interested in saving saturday afternoon football or is it we dont give 2 f *** s about it  as we are ok and if you want to come and join us your welcome if this is the case what was wrong with the full amalgamation of all the Leagues its the same at the end of the day apart from you kept your precious  cally name 

As for the Drums dunipace st pats and campsie all two faced as I attended the meeting you all voted to join the scottish amateur but I suppose the S.I.C.K name will be to you understanding 

I know this will come across as a bitter post but more of frustration of what could have been 

 

I don't see how this can be blamed on the Caley Clubs. The Caley said no to a merger and 1 year later the top team in Scotland over the last few years joins along with a very good Campsie side.

We carried 25 players last year and used all of them. Played 44 games and with games every 3 days at times it took the toll on boys. With work, families and injuries we sometimes still had 13/14 on the bench.

the usual pish from Crazy Feet re the new league, yet completely silent on the shambles end to the cally premier league when 2 teams failed to show for the games v Doune Castle shortchanging the players from that club to have the moment to clinch the League on the park rather that 6pts before the final game v St Joes 

As I said before the head PR man for that League

In my opinion I think you can look at it in all different ways and try different things with the end result being the same. Successful teams will always keep players happy, the downside to their success would be junior sides taking the better players. Your clubs that's have been around for years again will always be there unless again they také that next step to go junior. These clubs will go through Successful spells followed by some dull years, however the name will still attract players. Each club has to look at how they make their club look more attractive? How do they get players to come or stay? Football has changes and right across the board the desire isn't their as it use to be. I don't think that's because of any association or standard of teams. I just think folk would rather go out with the lads, their Mrs or even to the football at 3PM

2 of the last 3 games for doune were forfeited by the opposition. Would’ve expected doune to win both but not a good look for the league and you wouldn’t be too happy if you were EKYM. 

Both ourselves and EKYM awarded the game against Dalziel. We moved the kick off time in our final game to help our opposition so our guys won it on the park. However that became out of our control. Its not the way we wanted to win it and it ruins a good day for the guys. However you don't know whats going on elsewhere. We will enjoy and make the most of our plans on the final day with a bounce game, where the player will still receive the trophy and medals.
