surely not! Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Either way, it's a great carrot for signing players and could be the difference between a potential recruit going there or somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffenThinMint Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Motherwell Rangers Stranraer and Annan, brilliant cup draw. Rangers away and were laughing. The Hobbits vs the Orcs - every chance of a potential upset if The Shire play with nothing to lose. Either a decent result against them or Motherwell would set them nicely up for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdenbeath Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Gate is split by both clubs less 15% costs I think. So away game is worth more to Shire. This. Could be a decent income for the Shire if you get Rangers away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigiemack Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Very interesting 'meet the manager' at the Shire Supporters Club meeting tonight. Sludden spoke very well at his plans for the season and I'm personally feeling really positive about the new season as he appears, after listening to him, a very disciplined manager who takes nae shite. Very ambitious looking to get ties with Rangers and Celtic however. Slightly disappointed that some of the players have decided not to fix their wrong doings but absolutely delighted that we have resigned Kris Faulds and also his son Paul Sludden for the new season. A sign that we mean business and want to get back up as soon as possible if there ever was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanCamelonfan Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 As much as i like john i wouldnt say he was a strong disciplinarian. Players buggering off for stag weekends etc common practice the last two seasons. Where he needed to lay down the law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Mon The Shire Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Why would Celtic or Rangers want to be connected to East Stirling? Bearing in mind he all ready has connections at Celtic from his days working in there youth set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holme Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I would agree with craigie, John spoke very well last night. I also thought our chairman Alan spoke calmly about our future allaying any fears that many of us had going into the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigiemack Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Why would Celtic or Rangers want to be connected to East Stirling? Sluddens proposed plan is to use his contacts at the clubs to gain youth team players on loan. As much as i like john i wouldnt say he was a strong disciplinarian. Players buggering off for stag weekends etc common practice the last two seasons. Where he needed to lay down the law He spoke about that, he said that the attitude of players at the junior level is diabolical and wanted to make the step up to Lowland League where it is more professional. He also wants players to have in his words an 'old school mindset' where they never want to miss a game no matter the personal occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Paul Sludden is a great addition for that level, he'll score goals. Faulds looks murder at any level any time I've seen him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I met John Sludden at a funeral last week and he comes across as a really top guy (can't believe he's 51, he looks about 10 years younger). As mentioned above, he spoke about how the new generation of footballers don't really seem to care whether or not they win or lose - after the match, they're straight onto their phones or looking at their betting slips - and he wants to put together a team of guys who care about the club and about the results on the Saturday. He told me about an incident when he was at Celtic - his team had lost the match and their manager instructed the players to sit in silence on the bus all the way back home, which, he said, allowed him to focus on what had happened. I'm not sure how that kind of discipline will translate to part-time football, particularly this low down the food chain, but it's admirable all the same and he comes across a lot better than his predecessor. I understand there's been some difficulties in putting a team together - a lot of last season's squad have washed their hands of the whole thing and have refused to answer calls or turn up at meetings - but guys like Paul Sludden and Kris Faulds are a decent start. the Lowland League is probably about Sludden's level and I've not doubt he could score about 15-20 goals this season. He's not the biggest or strongest guy but he's a decent finisher and works the space inside the penalty box well. Faulds, meanwhile, is a funny one. He's no doubt a technically gifted player and someone capable to knocking some jaw-dropping balls about, but it just doesn't happen enough and the game seems to pass him by a lot. I'm not sure what kind of midfielder he is - he was given a number of roles at Stenhousemuir and didn't really excel in any of them - but if he can find the time on the ball to ping it about he'll be a smashing asset. I reckon the Shire should look to bring in someone like Scot Buist - I'm not sure how fit he is after he left Stirling Albion but he's a leader and the kind of guy John Sludden would look to to bring the team together.

mo83 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Darren Dolan any good?Bit in the record saying we are after him,someone said earlier we were after Richie barnard aswell.Not sure if they have them mixed up.We do need two keepers mind you!!

Heard also that he's off to yous. Dolan is more than capable at that level, good young keeper who can catch just about anything. If he does sign am sure he'll do well. Richie's off to Lithgae Rose am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Dolan was very impressive when i saw him and would be very pleased if he signed. Hope John Sludden does well for the Shire, sounds like he's got the right approach in mind. Interesting FF saying that much of last season's Shire squad have "washed their hands" of the situation they have got the club into- no surprise having seen that play off second leg.
