We've reached the Scottish cup final as our back up team win against Pollok and our season long battle with Motherwell will also include the Cup final
A good old fashioned last 10 minute collapse against Raith where we were winning and it total control
Our brilliant run against the old firm ends as we end our champions league chances.




Kilmarnock 0-2 Huntly
Montcho, O'G


Pollok 0-2 Huntly - Scottish Cup semi finals

Looks like the battle for the champions league is down to a battle for 3rd if i can get a result from my next match with Motherwell

Cunningham was his impressive self during the month getting back amongst the goals

A Cunningham penalty and Late striker by Segers kept our season alive going into the final day
We gave it our best but 4th is where were destined to finish which is still a great achievement.




Huntly 2-0 Motherwell
Cunningham, Segers


Dundee Utd 0-5 Huntly
Montcho 3, Rugani 2




The 2017 Scottish Cup final


Motherwell V Huntly​


Huntly team news
Only player missing out is suspended left back Alejandro


Past meetings this season has provided 1 win each way, Huntly wining just 3 weeks ago 2-0 at Christie park


The match
6 - Goal Harry Cartledge - Huntly 1-0 Motherwell


Well that was quick and painless! Huntly have won the Scottish cup!

 

Season 6 Review​


Again we improved out league possession up to 4th
Won first major domestic trophy with the Scottish cup
Rangers title run to 9 in a row
Hearts shockingly got relegated.






Our best performance in any league since season 2 as we were pretty constant overall. Finished within 10 points of the champions and getting some good results over the old firm.


Aberdeen get into Europe thanks to our cup win opening an extra European place. St Mirren and Dundee go down along with Hearts while Partick, Hamilton and Livingstone all return.



Mark Cunningham came 2nd in the player of the season despite having more goals, assists and a higher average rating.

View attachment 252746



Huntly Player of the year​




3rd - Frans Segers
Frans was our back up striker through the whole season but manager to hit 22 goals and helping keep the team afloat when Montcho was away at the African nations cup




2nd - Jean Gouamene
Gouamene has given me a huge dilemma for next season. Cartledge and Robert are both young players who are better at the moment but back to this season and the African Xavi was eminence in the league and even better in the cup.




1st - Mark Cunningham
Mark was robbed of player of the year by Rangers! Averaged a goal every 2 games not far off with assists and hopefully i can hang onto him to win the award next season.

 
Great story mate, been following it since the beginning. I believe you uploaded the wrong year for Player of the Season, something to amend. Keep it up and hopefully Scottish football dominance shouldn't be too far off.
 
Season 7
PRE SEASON PREVIEW

Season 7 - 2017/2018

​
I met my ambitious target for a European place which could be worth nothing since we drew Lille in the final qualifying round.For season 7 im hoping I've improved the team enough to finish a clear 3rd position maybe even challenge the Old Firm.

Targets
SPL - Top 3
Cup - Unbeaten against old firm teams
League Cup - Unbeaten against old firm teams
Europa League - Would be delighted to get past Lille and into the group phase
Media prediction is still rather low with 8th place all they think we'll get

My transfers
This was the summer I've been waiting for. An abundance of center midfielders on the market, too many in fact.

In
I signed 3 of them, Hughes Tebily from my favoite African hunting spot is the best of the 3 who will go right into the 1st team. other center midfielders joining are Italian Maicol Guidi and frenchman Thonmanivong.Picked up two young attacking wingers who will be trying to work there way into the 1st team Vitaly Ermakov and Luis Miguel.

Adding a extra defender was also a priority and two joined. Jonathan Almada from my 2nd favorite hunting ground Argentina and German wing back Rudiger Noll. Ha RudigerOut
A sad but profitable summer as we overfilled the squad so a lot of back up players were given the old heave ho

Bad news first Lacine Cherif left the club n a free after only 2 appearances last season with 104 appearances and 46 goals. Also released was Jamie Ness after disappearing of the radar.

Back up players who left for were Denis Prychynenko, Ryan Stevenson and Allison who wasn't any use for us when given a chance last season.

Back up winger Mehdi Tafer got a £1m bid from Fulham and i was happy to get the same from Livingston for Billy Pollock.

Two more players left this summer but on a less permanent basis of a season long loan. Assist king Jean Goumene left to Dundee United and promising youngster Gregory Robert left for guaranteed 1st team action with me picking up £1.2m for his services for the year.

Summer news
One more former star player joins as a coach in Fabio Quagliarela is our new shooting coach

Other Major Transfers
Very busy summer elsewhere this summer
Arsenal bought the most expensive player, Papastathopoulos for £23m
Goalkeeper Luis Guilherme joined inter £20m,
Barcelona signed Giuluiano £19m
Man City got two bargains Mesut Ozil £21m, Jaime Ferreria £18m, Ferreria was on loan with us 2 season ago
Man Utd signed Robert Lewandowski for a bargain £10m,
Blackburn sign 4 SPL players including hearts star left back Eddie Murray and Fraser Fyvie from Aberdeen
Old Firm don't spend £2m between them.

Now for the two ridiculous transfer story's this summer

Athletico Madrid paid Kilmarnock £18m for this guy

Aberdeen found £17.5m to out bid Celtic to get Les Toase from Man Utd

Summer Manager news
Bit less action everywhere St Johnstone sacked Jim McIntyre and replaced him with Allan Moore was about all.

Here's Newcastle for you Kris. David Santon promoted to Captain over Steven Taylor and have appointed regen manager Andrew Owen.

Guidi started the season as one of several players who might have filled the center midfield role and he has easily cemented his starting spot.​

Season 7 Review


​
In my 7th season Huntly have done the impossible and won the SPL after an incredible replacing Rangers at the top.
Retained the Scottish cup with little trouble except the Semi final with Celtic.
Europe was terrific to start with by beating Lille but then we were pathetic in the group phase Liverpool matches aside.




League


The table says it all won all but 6 games and only let in 15 goals, very similar to Celtic but beat them by putting together an amazing season.


Aberdeen again finished a strong 3rd but Rangers were the shock of the season, After 9 titles in a row they finished 25 points behind Huntly at the top way back in 4th.
Partick finished in the top half after there promotion.
Raith Hamilton and Livingston all went down while St Mirren continue to jump between leagues and Hearts return to the premiership



Following our success we have a host of player awards this season but NO MANGER Awards


Paul Montcho won the players player of the year award
Maicol Guidi won the football writers award
Pedro Abayian won young players of the year
With 25 league goals Paul Montcho was the leagues top scorer
Gian made sure the club won the football writers young player of the year for the 3rd time in a row
5 Players in team of the year


The assist king of Huntly 2018 successes. Was realised from Empoli's super duper youth academy and hasn't looked back since.

View attachment 253658


2nd - Mark "Cristiano" Cunningham​
Huntlys answer to Cristiano Ronaldo. Destroys people on the wing and scores for fun. Playing as a supporting striker and his form at the end of the season made is really hard to pick him 2nd but that's where he is.

View attachment 253659






1st - Paul "Drogba" Montcho​
33 goals from 38 appearances in a phenomenal season shows that Montcho lead the team to all its success.



 
Season 8
PRE SEASON PREVIEW

Season 8 - 2018/2019​


The cream came to the top and in 2018 Huntly won the SPL after a rather crazy and cookie season where Rangers disappeared from the title and we took there place. Automatically into the Champions league group and had to seriously think about staying at Huntly this summer after i had some real problems attracting and decent players unless the were totally mistreated reserve players from the premiership.


Targets
SPL - Retain title
Cup - Win either of the cups, Preferably my first league cup win
League Cup - Win either of the cups, Preferably my first league cup win
Champions League - Try and finish 3rd in the group stages
Media now see us at a top 4 team who may go close in the title battle and with a bit of luck may present a challenge for the title


My transfers
The 2018 summer should have seen me filling up the squad with Players to make my team strong enough for the champions league and to fight to keep the SPL title however the boards greed and player dissatisfaction led to my team shrinking and weakening.


In
My big summer signing was Aston Villa's Gregory Suire for just under a million. All the other signing were for the U18s






Out
Far too many important players left with boards request on accepting big bids. JUst glad i managed to hold onto the core of my team Blair Duncan, Pedro Abayian, Maicold Guidi, Mark Cunningham and Paul Montcho


These players included Harry Cartledge £5m, Inverness, Joe Nastevski £5m Hibs, Alejandro £5.25m Villareal, and worst of all Frans Segers £5.25m CSKA Moscow.


Defender left on loan for permanent football at River Plate Almada


Young midfielder Kirill Marchenko kept getting offers and was going to fall down the order on the right wing.


3 youngster are out on loan and i released a fussy Stuart Holden




Summer Transfer news
Quite a quiet window this time


Simon Kjear joins Man Utd for £21m
Former target and St Johnstone midfielder Arnau bernard moved to Kilmarnock for £14m
Ex Man City forward Caicedo joins spurs for £14m
Kyle Walker joined Liverpool for £12m




Summer Manager news
Two big jobs of the summer went to Gary Megson, Aston Villa and Marcelo Bielsa, Valencia
