Berwick

McGuigan [A] Crawford [G]
Donnelly [G]

A Vital win in securing second place against third place Berwick, An even game untill a slack back pass allowed Ryan Donnelly to sneak in and score an 87th minute goal.


Elgin City

Pumped, Plain and simple!


Queens Park (Local Rival)

McLaren [A] Crawford [G]
McLaren [A] Dutot [G]
Donnelly (pen) [G]
Donnelly (pen) [G]
Dutot [A] Innss [G]

An easy victory over an eventual 10 men (and bottom of the league) Queens Park, But! this was a rivalry and I was going for a big win which my boys managed!


Clyde

Crawford [A] McGuigan [G]
McGuigan [A] Donnelly [G]
Crawford [A] McGuigan [G]
Donnelly [A] McGuigan [G]
Crawford [A] flood [G]

Another 5 goal romp which saw an amazing partnership form between our right winger Crawford and our right fw McGuigan. This result clawed us that little bit closer to Stirling.

The top 3 times are gradually pulling away from the rest of the pack with us closing in on Stirling for that 1st place finish.

East Stirling

McGuigan [A] Donnelly [G]
McGuigan [A] Donnelly [G]
Donnelly [A] Madden [G]

A must not lose game which would see me remain in contention for a top spot finish.. a goals galore goal but a point each was a fair result.


Peterhead

Crawford [A] Mcguigan [G]

A boring game but a win none-the-less and another 3 points on the board


Montrose

Donnelly [A] Chaplain [G]

A Game which we should have won by a few but there keeper was on unstoppable form!


Annan

Mcguigan [A] Donnelly [G]
McLaren [A] Wilson [G]

An intense game which I thought we had in the bag at 2-0 when they went down to 10 men but they seemed to play better and managed to pull a goal back but we held on at the end and on loan defender Wilson bagged his first goal!

No real change, Stirling has hit abit of a slump whilst Elgin are flying high at the minute and closing the gap to me and Stirling.

Stirling

Own Goal [G]
Chaplain [G]
Crawford [A] McGuigan [G]
Donnelly [G] Crawford [G]

We drew level with an own goal from Lee Hamilton, We pounced on Stirlings poor morale after the OG and scored a second 5 minutes late, Chaplain then scores a wonder free kick from 40 yards to take us 1 point behind league leaders and title favourites Stirling.



Berwick

McGuigan [A] McLaren [G]
McGuigan [A] Chaplain [G]
Donnelly [A] Chaplain [G]

A rare double from Chaplain and a late goal from the very man secures us a victory, Stirling won 2-0 which left us still 1 point behind.



Clyde

McLaren [A] Chaplain [G]
McGuigan [A] Phillips [G]

Another late goal saves our skin as substitute Phillips scores deep into injury time. Stirling won again and we remained a point behind



Elgin

Donnelly [A] McGuigan [G]
Donnelly [A] McGuigan [G]

We scraped a victory against high flyers Elgin and Stirling drew 1-1 which put us 1 point top of the league and guaranteed us a play off place!



Queens Park (Local Rivals)

McLaren [A] Donnelly [G]
Madden [A] McGuigan [G]

2 - 0 up and drew 2 - 2 with local rivals and bottom of the league Queens Park, terrible performance from our boys. On the plus side Stirling lost 2 - 0 and we've begun hopefully putting distance between us and them!



March League Table

View attachment 405139

The league has become a 2 horse race between us and Stirling. At the opposite end of the table theres a 3 way fight going for relegation.

Sucks that you get 2 GK's in that youth intake. Would have been nice if 1 was a striker for you.

Peterhead

Flood [A] McGuigan [G]

A poor result in a match we should have won, Stirling drew 2-2 with Clyde which kept us top of the league by 2 points



East Stirling

Chaplain [G]

Chaplain got us of the mark early after he missed a penatly but pounced on the rebound.. East Stirling however pulled a goal back to bring the game even, Stirling won there match which meant we were only top on goal difference.



Annan

POOR RESULT! Left us 3 points behind Stirling


Montrose

McGuigan [A] Crawford [G]
Flood [A] Donnelly [G]
Flood [A] McGuigan [G]

A MUST WIN GAME and we just managed to scrape through. This leaves us 3 points trailing but ahead in goal difference coming into the last game of the season

I like the fact that you review not just your league but other Scottish leagues and cups
 
Nice going so far, loved the results in the Scottish Cup final and the League cup final ;) Shame we can't do it irl :'( Still less depressing than watching my other team, East Stirlingshire, play :P. Anyway, good luck in League One, shame you don't have the almighty Mark McGuigan another season :P #McGuiganForFullContractWithAlbion

Declan McDaid

View attachment 404072


Another Ex-Thistle player, Has the potential to be a top player.


Max Herbert

View attachment 404070

Started his career at Wycombe before moving to Brentford.. Will hope he shines up in the lower leagues in Scotland.


Paddy McNally

View attachment 404066


Signed from Hull to Celtic so the potential must be there. Hopefully he can shine like he did when he was on loan last season at Cliftonville.


Luke Donnelly

View attachment 404061

THE NEW DONNELLY, Spent 2 years as a youth at celtic before being released, managed to ****** him on a free. Great business I feel.


Aldin El Zubaidi

View attachment 404058


Released by Hamilton, More shroud business.


As you can see, alot of Frees and Loans but it's all I can really do when I'm one of the poorest clubs in Scotland. Hopefully this group manage to gel together well, A few ex premier league players in there.
