selfassemblyshire Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Danny Ashe off to Kelty, just announced on twitter. If I was Derek I'd strip him of the captaincy and leave him on the bench for the rest of the season but I'm not bitter at all [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Jamie Barclay's the new club captain. Players make decisions at this time of year when sport approaches the close season. After his bro signed a new deal with Glasgow Warriors a couple of weeks back I was thinking that Danny staying at Shire would be a nice double but alas it wasn't to be lol. Still a few months yet but I'll wish him all the best when he does go. The Ashe clan are all decent folk. I'll miss blethering to his faither George (and the odd time brother Adam) at the games though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant blame him for probably at least doubling his wages. Not a surprise as Kelty need to strengthen their defence, I would imagine there will be a bit of movement amongst the players in the top half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially a big gun in Bonnyrigg coming up if the odds play out so there will be lots of competition for top players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbell had a spell wit h the Shire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimmo's Notes Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Did Billy McNeil play at Kelty too? Had a great first season for Shire, banging in the goals and won the Supporters club player of the year. Unfortunately he broke his leg towards the end of the season and I don't think he was quite the same player after that, so we punted him off to Falkirk, our plucky little neighbours. I remember our player of the year shield carried a bit of a jinx with it, as all the previous winners were either, freed, badly injured, retired etc. I had the honour of presenting the trophy, that year. After giving a big build up to the top three nominations, academy awards style, I announced..... "and the winner is..........the guy in the stookie!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid at the back and pretty good at getting the ball forward with long passes, which I suppose is not Kelty's main concern overall but still a good quality to have. And he's able to play anywhere in the back four. He's shite mate, we'll take him back if you want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimmo's Notes Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Poor from Shire yesterday, midfield didn't want to work or to tackle, though that may have been through fear of being booked. As for the ref, you could start a whole thread about him. Worst since the infamous, Willie Collum display. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyssocks1998 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Good game yesterday, with a share of the spoils deserved for both teams. Shire having more clear cut chances but playing a Gala side that included 17 year old Charlie Green making his first start. Having a strong bench being the difference, with Shire able to make vital substitutions but Gala only having Kieran Ainslie and 16 year old Declan Bell on the Bench, with neither featuring. As I said, good game played in the right spirit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luggy Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 BOOM!New Funding East Stirlingshire FC East Stirlingshire’s Board of Directors have secured significant backing for a player’s budget next season as they look to push for a return to the SPFL after their historic relegation in 2016.After a season plagued with inconsistency and managerial change the board, in recent months, have added international businessman Harry Bell, Asian business associate Sherman Lam, Local businessman and Shire fan Bob Worgan and Falkirk based bookkeeping firm owner David McCready to the Board of Directors.Harry Bell international businessman and lifelong Shire investor has worked diligently for the last two years to secure this major investment for the Shire.The move will ensure Derek Ure and Andy Rodgers have the necessary funding to build not only a title winning squad for next season, but one that can realistically return the club to the SPFL.Despite their difficulties in recent years the club have never waned in their ambition to return to the SPFL amid constant speculation that the club wouldn’t survive the challenging financial constraints relegation brought with it.It is hoped that the funding will also buck a worrying trend for Shire that has saw them finish second and fourth having struggled to adapt to the demands of the Lowland League. This season hasn’t faired any better for Shire. Nine losses in the league, more than the past two seasons combined, have left them 30 points adrift of leaders East Kilbride in sixth place-stats that are hardly indicative of a side with title ambitions. However, Shire’s recent purple patch, which has saw them go seven unbeaten, has demonstrated not only the current underachievement of the team but also the potential of a club still yearning to be amongst the 42 elite clubs in the SPFL. Shire’s return to their ‘spiritual home’ in Falkirk, made possible by partnering with Falkirk FC, may not have translated to instant success on the pitch but it has provided a vital platform for the club to reassess and plan for the future.While Ure and Rodgers continue to assess the current squad and its capabilities they have also been active in targeting and securing players for next season, although the club is yet to reveal any details as to who they have been watching.Shire have also announced plans to run a reserve team for next season in an effort to increase the squad size and intensify competition for places.Shire’s announcement is sure to renew optimism among fans as they prepare to embark on a fourth season watching their side play in the Lowland League. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter's Nutmeg Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Just to clear up any confusion, is Harry Bell an international businessman by any chance, it doesn’t seem to mention it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
