glensmad Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Back to back league wins for us, and another good performance today, especially in the first half. The league table is looking a lot healthier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredeye Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I expected Rutherglen to be a lot higher this season. Saturday was the first time I've seen them this season and thought you played some really tidy football. Hopefully you put a run together now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The draws in the league have dragged us down the table, but only the top two in the table have lost fewer games than us (and only one less). We've only lost 5 out of 23 games in all competitions, but too many draws kill you. We're still in touch with the promotion issue with over half a season to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a really tough league but I hope you guys have a dash at promotion. Given how you played I will certainly make more of an effort to come along and see you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Three wins out of three for us in the league and we've risen from 14th to 6th over the space of two and a half weeks. It's going to take a prolonged good run to get into the top three and stay there, but there's still more than half a season to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredeye Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Rutherglen were well worth their win last night against a decent St Roch's side although I didn't think they turned up. Who is number 11, I thought he was a handful and caused serious problems? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roan Fitzpatrick, he plays wide on either side of midfield and can also play through the middle, he's a very useful player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roan has been about, he had spells with Greenock Juniors and Kilbirnie Ladeside last season, and Maryhill before that, but our coach Billy Ogilvie had him at East Kilbride FC when he was manager there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 (edited) Four league wins out of four in January now, and suddenly we're up to 5th and knocking on the door of the promotion spots, after starting the month in the relegation zone. Eleven goals scored and only two conceded. What a difference turning draws into wins makes to your league position !

glensmad Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 A poor performance from us today and our first defeat in 8 games, after 6 wins and a draw over December and January. A bump in the road hopefully. Now the focus turns to next week and the Scottish Junior Cup quarter final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 (edited) Getting into the semi final was the target today and in that respect it was "job done". It wasn't a good performance but it was "roll up the sleeves" kind of occasion and we ground it out against a Larkhall team who played extremely well. Back to league business next week then another cup match, then another league match, then another cup match, then........

glensmad Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 (edited) So it's Glencairn v East Craigie in the semi final. Hopefully we're good enough and fortunate enough to make it to the final, where it could be another Glens v Glens encounter, just like it was the last time we made the final in 1975. One game at a time though, East Craigie will no doubt be fancying their chances of a final appearance, we're under no illusions about that. It'll be a huge occasion for both clubs, the first ever meeting of the teams as far as my records show, unless anyone can tell me differently ?
