stevethedog Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 East Stirlingshire Football Club - Laughing stocks of Gillete Soccer Saturday - Strongest team in Scottish Football as they hold every other team in the league up - average wage of £14.37 and 6 blackjacks a week - Board Aims : Stick within 20 points of 9th. Well gaffer Chris Nicol was doing better than all that. He was within 8 points of 9th. Fans at East Stirling had never had it so good (those who remember better times were in the well padded hospital). That's why there was a village wide outcry when East Fife tried to poach top gaffer Nicol from The Shire's grasp. All both of the Shire's season ticket holders turned up to demand that the legend who brought the club 2 wins remained in charge and knocked back the giants from the East of Fife. And so it was done. A member of staff from East Stirling chose to....stay. It was unprecedented. Nobody quite knew how to react. Jeff Stelling had to double check his facts, Chick Young just couldn't come to terms with it. With this confusion teams came up against East Stirling not quite sure what to expect....this played straight into the hands of Nicol, the club, and fans Boab and Soapy Souter. Back to back wins led to much confusion in not only the local press, who had to try to write match report about a w.w..wi..win..winning streak, but also around the whole nation who had to upgrade their systems which had "10th East Stirling" as a template. Their was a party in the village the day Chris Nicol stayed, when they went 9th there was..well another party but when they went 8th the (multiplying) fans went absolutley wild, some of them even baked cakes! And so there you have it. East Stirling are sitting in 8th place with only a few games of the season to go. Nicol's formation has caused much confusion and at first sniggering amongst the league's other managers. However Nicol and the club are also now in a state of confusion...where the hell do we go from here? Stay tuned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stabwest Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 5th place and 40k after a terrible run in , which saw Rovers lose 3 of there last 5 games, allowing Toner and Co to claim the last play off spot, but over all its been a rather good season, with David Shanks on cloud nine with 5th spot. " its been a tough wee season, but its been good, rather ****ed at the way we finished the season thou" when asked about Gary Toner "Gary 'GHOST' Toner, i went over to shake hands , and he wasn't there , just a cardboard cut out but i signed up his backroom staff while he was away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sav112 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Well Arbroath ended up 7th and 30K better off and the Manager realised that there is a nucleus of a decent side there but it need improved for this level. The Budget news was expected from a club that is still in the red – Nothing. The fans have questioned the formation with only playing Brazil up front alone, but the manager believes this is the way forward and to build support around him. One deal has been struck and more details of that at a later date. What can we aim for next season, well a jammy old firm game would help in the cup and a higher position than 7th would do. Its going to be slow but there is some good news Agnes has got her sister Betty to help out in the refreshment kiosk so we can now sell double the Bovril and Pies in the same amount of time, oh aye and would fans please remember that there is adequate toilet facilities in the ground and not at the back of the stand.

stabwest Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 what's wrong???? all loan targets, have refused to join us Danny Black has left in till end of season with 2nd div Stenhousemuir, with a future fee of £10k. I hope Danny stays with us ,but breaks into the Stenny 1st team, which of course would def give me a headache when he returns, one am happy with. Huge Squad I've got no plans to sell any of my stars , but if the money is right , then i will have to take the deal. games so far Berwick[h] 2-0 Bell Challenge cup 1st rd Montrose[h] 1-1 SD3 St.Mirren[h] 1-2* SLC 1st rd (*after e/t) Berwick[h] 0-0 SD3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethedog Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 East Stirling fans were in buoyant mood as the new season approached. Manager Chris Nicol had given them lots to cheer about for the first time in a long long time towards the end of last season and while many key players in that side left Nicol had brought in some new faces. As the new season was about to kick off with a challenge cup match against Steve Plumbs promoted Queens Park side, Nicol looked at his small squad with much worry. He had managed to secure the services of Phil O'Donnell but that was about it. A good 2-1 win in that game and then a solid 1-0 win in the league over Arbroath has given the side a good platform to build on but early injuries have already caused problems as Stranraer sent Shire packing from the league cup and then a 0-0 home draw to Peterhead was seen as a good result. So hopefully more new faces and a confident new look shire side that could improve on last seasons 8th position, now that would have the fans in dream world.

John Paul Remington Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 East Fife Unveil New Gaffer Iain Stewart II ( yes the second ) bounced into the press conference this afternoon with a little confident spring in his step. When asked on what East Fife fans can expect from a manager with so little Experience in the game, broad smile appeared across his face "Fast paced attacking football, from young keen and fit players who will be hungry to achieve everything then can from the game" "I may not has the greatest talent in the game at my disposal but they will give 100%, they will play to their strengths. I have a vision on how football should be played and I want this team to entertain, and enjoy football." Pushed on expectation for the season he replied "The title of course, if you don't want to win or don't think you can win why bother turning up !" With that Stewart II got up and left stating he had a second training session to take care of this afternoon, smiled and left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So feel free to use the time wisely, like spend time with family or loved ones, maybe go for a walk outside get some fresh air, maybe evening go catch a movie, I've heard Munich is good, the possibilities are endless, grasp the moment people live life go for it New Players I've recieved a fair few applications, sorry for the delay in reply, but I'm getting there and will get round to you when I get back next week. I intend to bring in a few players to up the clan membership as a few off the newbies have been very disappointing. Please note I will enfore all clan rules so please read before asking to join.
