Allanger 625 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 A good read indeed. It must be very strange for Ally et al to feel the hand of friendship from other teams in our league rather than the knife in the back approach he would get at the spl Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 The SFL site does have some good pieces on it sometimes.Comparing Charles to Mourinho. Charlie couldn't have said it better himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubdeck 41 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 well done to their fans today for the way they applauded Sandy Jardine statement & then again when they joined in on the 2 minute mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 This is refreshing. They are a good club, with a team who look like they want to play football properly. Hope their players get some benefit from playing Rangers so often this season; and that they get some extra revenue also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBluenose1972 1,405 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Better giving our money to them than the SPL wankersYep! Fuck going back to the SPL!The SFL should be leading the way forward not the current crooks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDBigBear 10,864 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Anyone who thinks that wee clubs should just close down and or amalgamate should read that article and think again. These are the people who are the life blood of the game and I wish them well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachothelegend 1,932 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 They should take the Place of Hearts in the SPL.The way they Played at Ibrox today they should be very Proud of themselves.I was sitting right beside their Fans today, and had a bit of Banter with them.I was shouting away and Amalgamate with Falkirk , and Singing there's Only one Team in Falkirk.They took it well and was meant as a Laugh of course.I was impressed by their appetite for the Game.

Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 That is a fantastic piece. So refreshing to see something so positive and to be about football. Not the bullshit bitter politics that has been thrust upon us. This is what makes the journey all the more wonderful. Football. Just football again.

dazbo84 698 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 The big no5 for shire is a bear and a good mate of mine was fucking delighted for him getting to play at ibrox the day jammy bastard They do seem to be doing something different at shire , good on them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgoalie 637 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Always had a soft spot for the Shire,stems from my brother managing them years ago.This is your bread and butter club,remember Ally in his programme notes in our first league game of the season at Ibrox saying he was glad it was the Shire that were our opponents,as they were the FIRST club to welcome Rangers into the SFL.The Shire have also been screwed by past board members,having to sell their ground for peanuts,in a prime site in Falkirk for a pittance to pay off their debts.This is why they are ground-sharing with Stenhousemuir fc.Footnote ; remember attending a game years ago and the guys at hospitality were asked to name the man of the match,and they picked a guy that had only been on the park for 5 minutes????? Hospitalty was a bevvy UNDER the stand next to the changing rooms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Shire 240 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Wonder what happened to the shire fan who came on here at the start of the seasonHe was pretty passionate about his clubI'm still here and I'm still passionate about The Mighty Shire. I thought we gave a half decent account of ourselves today - obviously you were the better side with a lot more skill than we can currently muster but, without boring any of you again, we are in the process of picking ourselves up with few financial resources. It's a long hard slog but we've got a good set of people at the top now and although it will be a slow process I am more hopeful than I have been for some time.Like yourselves we had a painful collision with people who turned our little club over leaving us homeless as mentioned by "Top Goalie". We nearly went under because of that.So far as I am concerned Gers fans and their team are welcome at any time although I don't suppose we will be seeing much of you after this season.You had too much for us today and I expected that but I didn't think 3-1 to a quality side was that much of a disgrace. I'm sure, also, that it will have been a big thrill for our part timers to play to such a huge audience and telly and all that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day it is the fans who are the heartbeat of any club - the owners, directors, managers, players come and go but who are still there?
