glensmad Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Here's an interesting thing, well I think it's interesting anyway. [emoji16] If you think about last season's squad and how we had hoped to take that into this season, we haven't really had that opportunity. If you take a match day squad as 16 players, below is a list of our top 16 total starting appearances last season. Beside it I have marked with an asterisk which players have not been available for long spells (i.e. months at a time) this season so far. 38 - Tony Fraser *35 - Del Esplin *34 - Stevie Kerr Dale Simeon30 - Rhys Donaldson * Garry Whyte *29 - Jay McKay *26 - Craig McGregor23 - Harry Mitchell *18 - Kris Gebbie * Ryan Kerr * Jordan Leyden *17 - Liam Gormley16 - Gary Smith *14 - Tam Miller12 - Sean McGuire So I make that 10 out our 16 most regular players from last season that have been missing for long spells. Only 5 of those 16 players started our game yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Pennel Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 f**k sakes, mate...have you not being paying attention ? It was a wee jovial comment about recent events which occured elsewhere. It was nothing to do with the awful alleged incident at Glencairn which took us all by surprise. None of this stuff gives any of us any particular pleasure and I'm sure that the good people at Glencairn will deal with the culprit when identified. There is nothing funny about racism. You, however,...appear to be a humourless git. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 I did get what Black Pennel was angling at, but I didn't take the bait. In response to andy25, the reality of the situation is that we don't know for sure whether the culprit was indeed somebody known to Glencairn. The video of where the assistant referee was standing shows people behind him who we know to be Glencairn fans, and also people who we don't know. As the camera was behind the backs of everyone on that side, we cannot see who was shouting what as they were all obviously facing the pitch. We are now over three weeks on from the incident, and we have obviously made extensive enquiries amongst our supporters, but so far the response has been the same from everybody, i.e. they didn't hear the shouts which the assistant referee reported, and they didn't know at the time why the game was stopped and why the assistant referee put his flag up. The referee's match report states that he didn't hear the shouts, and the player himself told our manager that he didn't hear them either, so it should not be a matter of cynicism from others when our supporters say the same. I am in no way suggesting that the shouts didn't happen, but you can appreciate how difficult it is to establish a culprit in these circumstances. I don't think anybody who was at the match on Saturday (which included the West Region President) can honestly say that we as a club are not taking this seriously. We made a statement almost straight away after the game, and that statement was in the match programme on Saturday (our first home game since the incident). The statement was also read out in full to the crowd over the PA both before the game (immediately before kick off as the players of both teams held "Show Racism The Red Card" signs up to the crowd), and again at half time. We had signs up around the ground also. We continue to take this seriously. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard how they are, although I did notice Willie Harvey saying in yesterday's Rutherglen Reformer that having no game this weekend is probably a good thing and that it will hopefully help us to get Lachlan and Miller healthy again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 It's been a good afternoon for us without kicking a ball. The two teams directly above us (Troon and Benburb) both lost at home, helping our chances of catching them both.We're now 7 points behind Troon with 6 games in hand, and still to play them at home.We're now 8 points behind Benburb with 2 games in hand, and still to play them twice.We certainly haven't given up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
