MAC THE KNIFE

NEED LESS TO SAY THAT IF SHIRE MANAGE TO BEAT VALE ANY QUARTER OR SEMI FINAL WILL BE AWAY FROM HOME

WHAT LET HIM DOWN AT THE SHIRE WAS HIS EXTREMELY POOR CROSSING FROM OPEN PLAY !

having now seen a video of the " CAST IRON " penalty why did the Ref not give another 40 Penalties in the box for all the other times that the Kelty & Shire Defenders did exactly the same ? As for the Over ruling of Vikki Allan for the " Corner Incident " to award Kelty a Goal Kick was appalling. I`m sure though that the Ref Supervisor will have given him a 9/10 for his handling of the Game though . Despite some Odd Ref calls for once Shire started a game against a " Big team " from the start & played the whole game with desire & Passion & were very unlucky not to have taken all 3 Pts from the match

REMEMBER THAT SPARTANS SCORED ON 2 SPECULATIVE SHOTS & AN INJURY TIME BREAK A WAY THAT WAS BADLY DEFENDED

THE FACT IS IN BOTH FIRST & RESERVE MATCHES A LARGE PROPORTION OF YELLOW / RED CARDS SEEM TO BE FOR PLAYERS MOUTHING OFF AT THE MATCH OFFICIALS . MOST WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED . I WONDER WHAT THE ACTUAL PERCENTAGE OF DISSENT YELLOW CARDS TO " OTHER " YELLOW CARDS IS

so does a match ref for a night game now have to carry a light meter & an alternative light source ?

looking for a move to a Rose or a Hearts team

shire had goal disallowed 92 mins. Bxbn humped the ball up the field & scored 93 mins as the Shire Defence claimed offside

VERY POOR FINISHING & GOOD GOALKEEPING KEEP SHIRE DOWN TO ONLY 5 GOALS

STENNY GOING DOWN . OR BUST

ARE CITY NOW LIKE THE OLDE SHIRE ? DODGY D & NO OFFENCE ? THERES ONLY 1 ........

COULD HAVE BEEN 15 TO,20 BUT FOR POOR SHIRE FINISHING, SUBS & THE GRETNA KEEPER HAVING A " WONDER " GAME. ( BAR ONE GOAL ) SHIRE MIDFIELD NOT GOING BACK COST THE LOSS OF THE GRETNA GOAL

CAN ANY ONE POST THE GUIDELINES THAT THE SFA GAVE THE CLUBS re LAW CHANGES / LAW INTERPRETATIONS. ? ( I QUALIFIED AS A SFA REF IN 1978 ) QUITE A FEW TIMES " PUZZLED AT REFS CALL TODAY. KNOW ABOUT THE GOAL KICK LAW CHANGE ! re TODAYS MATCH REF ERROR / BIAS OR NEW RULES INTERPRETATION?

THAT`S BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MANY , MANY DECADES !!!!

EK turn over EDB City 1 - 0

LIVISTON ACTUALLY GO BACK TO THE FORTIES WITH THEIR PARENT CLUBS FERRANTI / MEADOWBANK THISTLE. A CLUB WHO MANAGED NEVER MANAGED TO GO BUST UNTIL THEY MOVED TO LIVINGSTON

a " Super League " team humbles Sco football again. Another humilation. They could barely beat Edinburgh City in the Cup last season!

THE OPPOSITION MASS SUBSTITUTIONS EARLY 2nd HALF MADE IT A LOT EASIER BUT EVEN WITHOUT THEM SHIRE WOULD PROB HAVE WON BY 3 OR 4 GOALS. AGAIN TWO SOFT GOALS GIVEN AWAY

NICE WEE TRIP TO ALLOA TO START THE SEASON!

GREEN ONE IS OK . ONLY GOT ONE SHIRE KEEPERS TOP FROM THE STRIP " MASS SALE DAY " THAT WAS HELD AT AT OLD SHIRE PARK MANY YEARS AGO !

HOME STRIP PRETTY BAD. UNLIKELY 2 B BUYING AWAY TOP . 3 RD STRIP ?

A FEELING THAT THE CLYDE FANS WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE AT THE END OF NEXT SEASON. SEE THE CLYDE LOYAL GLORY HUNTERS TURNED OUT IN FORCE AGAIN ! SUPRISED THEY REMEMBERED HOW TO GET THERE !

THE STORY DOES NOT COVER CELTIC , NEW CO or CLYDE

KEEP THE FAITH
