newcastle broon Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Oh I didn't realise he also played for Whitehill as well. Yes I do remember him now, I don't think WW had ever beaten us before until they signed him. Well done Sammy on a magnitude of terrific signings.Grimbo I take it he made his spartans debut last night. Now am scratching my heed here cause I got told he set up 2 goals last night. How can that be when im reading yous lost 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 But it can't sing & it can't dance. No dissin WW or any team in the LL but anyone can see best chance of going spfl is with us at the mo' so you can't blame any player given the opportunity, can you? Grimbo You'd think you'd learn after the last 3 seasons Grim that the trophys are counted up at the end of the season. Chelsea of the North. Come on the wee village team.

HibeeJibee Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Edit so no play off at present unless fully licensed like Spartans Nope, not AFAIA? I've noted a few people say this because only Spartans have a Bronze licence: but you don't need a Bronze licence to play in SPFL2 (or SPFL1), you need an Entry licence with Bronze floodlighting? Which is a subtle but important difference. For example one of the local papers up north noted that a few clubs there already have this (included Wick and Clachnacuddin, IIRC). Also last season's LL runners-up, Stirling University, aren't licenced yet - but they'll need to be by next summer, and Forthbank must meet Bronze criteria. New Peffermill will. As noted on the HL website link clubs can also apply for a waiver - say to do works over the summer? Waivers have sometimes been granted before, e.g.: * various clubs being promoted from SFL1 to SPL installed extra seats or undersoil heating over the summer, not before 31st March * Gretna FC groundsharing at Motherwell/Inverness at Aberdeen * Annan Athletic installing floodlights upon joining SFL * Ayr United replacing their floodlights a few summers ago Now obviously the winner might simply have too much to do or might need a waiver and it isn't forthcoming, but I don't think only Spartans can go up.

HibeeJibee Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Do you know who is funding the ground improvements at peffermill so they can get there licence?? I haven't seen or heard of any major Lottery or Sportscotland grants, so if that's right presumably it's being paid for by the university and by the club itself.

tamthebam Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 TBH I'd rather my tax went to paying for a nice wee football ground at Peffermill than for illegal wars or nuclear submarines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafc1885 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 We have a defender on trial with us called Aaron James, it seems he played in the league last season with Edinburgh City, anyone able to give more info on how he is? He's played two whole games with us so far and strolled through both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgae junior Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 good player, remember playing against him as he played for heriot watt university defensively not great ,but very good on the ball, played with Linlithgow rose, -apparently struggled heriot watt- was a standout, we tried to sign him but sometimes when the going gets tough he might struggle Edinburgh city- done very well for them from what I saw last season will be interesting to see what he is like on a winters night in ayr all in all good player, wand of a left foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgae junior Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I heard the same to and a guy watching Spartans friendly on Monday said he was playing was very good apparently, tends to hold on to the ball to long, hates a physical battle, but would be a great player as no 10, time will tell if he will make an impact but he was meant to have scored a beauty against the Scotland amateur goalkeeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
