Stenie Slow to start

Stenhousemuir new boss Iain Stewart got the start to the season that he must have been dreading, his worst thoughts on his team came true as they were taken apart from day one by anyone they faced. Defensive frailties the most obvious and costly to his team. Of the first six games of the season, the warriors lost the first 4, with lose being a kind word before finally grabbing a victory finshing up with a draw. So 6 played, 1 victory, 1 draw, 4 defeats and a lot of leasons learned.

Stewart moved quickly as the transfer window drew to a close bringing striker Fraser Logan from Killie on loan to add depth and pace to his front line, Damiano Agostini, on a free, a right back mainly to add competition in places but failed on 2 attempts to add another centre defender to try and stabailse a shakey back line.

Stenhousemuir 0 - 2 Gretna
Stewart was very angry at this defeat, and was very vocal against Gretna feeling that his side dominated the match and had the better chances and should has won this match, however he did calm down and accept that to win you have to put the ball in the net which Gretna managed twice after again more defensive mishaps.

Queens Park 3 - 0 Stenhousemuir
Stenie were not in contention here and made no effort to make a competition of this match, they simply spent the 90mins chasing shadows. The defense was again pulled all over the park, and when in possession the team lacked invention movement and the basics of finishing escaped them.

The 1st Division side just had far too much in every department for the warriors, and too be far the game could have turned into a cricket score and gave Stewart nothing more but worry over his job.

Cowdenbeath 3 - 3 Stenhousemuir
PLenty of action saw a busy afternoon for the referee Jim McCluskey a total of 13 yellow cards and 3 reds were shown reducing Cowdenbeath to 10 and Stenie to 9.

Stenie dug in and fought hard refusing to give up coming from behind 3 times to level the scoring, the last coiming 3 minutes into injury time, Stenie whipping in a quick free kick at the edge of the box for Gallacher to rise a score his frst goal for stenie with what was the last touch of the ball before the final whistle went.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

After an extremely poor start, Stewart was at a loss as were to go, he sat back, paniced, look at that bottle in his draw but thought not yet.

He took stock of what has happen on the park so far, looked at the problem the team was having , made some slight tactical changes to make is simplier for his player, giving players specific jobs to do, and he tinkered with the training. He's pleased with the results and the response of his players since, although the amount of cards being picked up my haunt them.

Stewart was unavailable for comment on the rumour that he has reported Peterhead to the SFL for the "3 moustached men" who stood behind the stenie goal shouting "coooooooeeeeeee" and smiling at his keeper everytime Peterhead attacked.

The Campaign Begins

Results

3-0 East Stirling (H) (Canning, Twigg OG, Clarke)
0-2 Elgin (A)
3-0 Stenhousemuir (H) (Whelan, Menelaws, Ferry)
0-1 Cowdenbeith (H) League Cup
0-1 Peterhead (A)
0-0 Gretna (H)

It all started so well with an easy 3 nil victory over a lacklustre Shire side. Queen's totally dominated the entire match and could've won by 5 or 6. Next up was a disappointing performance against Elgin, with the team losing both goals on the stroke of half time, one a spectacular strike by Bone and the other a defensive shambles. A confidence boosting 3 nil demolition of Stenny was to be followed up with dreadful displays against Cowdenbeith and Peterhead but things were looking up again with a scoreless draw against promotion favourites Gretna.

"Overall I'm fairly satisfied with our start to the season," said McWee. "Alright, so we're out of the League Cup, and the Challenge Cup, and to be fair, we're probably not going to get promoted either after getting beat by Peterhead and not winning against Gretna and i realise we haven't scored in the last 3 games.... In fact, we've had a rubbish start to the season. THIS INTERVIEW IS OVER!" McWee stormed out of the press conference cursing fluently and vowing to knock some sense into his hopeless bunch of haddies.

Cowdenbeath 4-0 Albion
It was an outstanding first game of the season with Ross Matheson showing the way with two goals. Steavie Boyle was outstanding up the wing and took his goal well as well as did Shields. The only low point was a Red card to Miller who is catching the eye of a few clubs. Albion was shown how to play the game and manager Robertson was seen patting opponent Tracy on the back before going up the tunnel happy at the days work.

East Fife 0-1 Cowdenbeath
A great result away and although we were the better team we just had to wait for that winning goal. Shields took his goal well. After he scored Manager Robertson Shut up shop with Ross Mcbride brought on to kill off the game.

Cowdenbeath 2-1 East Stirling
Cowden took the lead with an OG on the 76th and looked set to steal the points until Stirling fought back to 1-1. Only a last minute penalty saved the day and Miller converted it for Cowden to drive the fans wild. Manager Robertson waved to the fans and took Miller all the way up the park and punched the air, but after he emitted he just looked a prat and won’t be doing that again.

Challenge Cup 2nd rd
Queen of Sth. 2- 1 Cowdenbeath
Manager Robertson emitted his team are still short on fitness and this game was too much for his team. Although Cowden played a good game and scored with Shields they crash out. Manager Robertson commented “Although disappointed it’s a distraction we don’t need”

Queens Park 0-1 Cowden League Cup
Steven Boyle took to the 79th minute to tie up this game with a great goal. Cowden played well but failed that killer touch need. Its another cup and Cowden are through and the prospect to get some money.

Elgin 1-1 Cowdenbeath
Steven Boyle won M.o.M but Miller scored a great goal that should have won us the game. Poor defending cost us two points and Manager Robertson looked not a happy Bunny as he shook the Elgin Managers hand.


Cowden 3-3 Stenhousemuir
A great game for the neutral but Cowden who were the better side should have won with three goals. A fantastic quick free kick at the last kick of the ball cost Cowden the points to draw at home. M.o.M Shields was outstanding as was sub Blackadder and Miller ran the show in midfield. Manager Robertson Could only look on and was happy with his team performance but our luck ran out at the end.

Despite the attentions of Toner being somewhat distracted by a gay stalker in the area, who'd have thought it with all the sheep in the area someone would be stalking little old me awww shucks.

But anyway despite that Peterhead have managed to get off to the a great start in the league, although it is early doors the team that are evens for promotion look good although slighty worrying is that with a injury or two Peterhead are shockinly bad.

Clan Announcement

Sorry to inform you all, but this weeks game looks to have been a waste of time. The game crashed as we were preparing to play the last game and on trying to load this weeks save i get the out of memory error, great fun !

Slighty cheesed off about this, but there is nothing we can do as the game will just not load.

So next week we will start from were we started this week. I'll do a test on the save and run it through past the point of crash incase its a bug in the game and I'll post an update on here.

All I can say is sorry folks.
