At the last count I had about 67 guys sitting dormant in my reserves, Devon. Scout East Stirlingshire, you may get a bargain :cool:

We signed a few players pre-season, and lost to Doug's Montrose - although I can blame my AssMan, who I'd left in charge of friendlies :o

I turned down Crewe at the start so I could try my hand in Division 2 with The Shire.

I might have already sent that scout out Ian. Now if he'd just get moving!

Ian turned down Crewe after much debate mind you. Then his Scottish loyalty was challenged and he made up his mind fast.

Congrats Andy!!!

There's a lot of hard work ahead, if it is Queens Park you are heading...

Good Luck on Monday's session.:thup:

Thanks guys - if thanks is the right sentiment.

You stiche dme up good 'n' proper giving me The Spiders job before I'd read this thread and learned their fate.

Still unless I get the sack in faster time than Graham I guess if I can improve on last place with 14 goals all season then I'll have succeeded in some sense.

Whatever, it'll be a great crack. Let the games commence... :cool:

Ian hosted. I tried, but well...anyway.

In reality Graham, you didn't miss much. We eneded up waiting for Ian to show up, and Mark didn't realize it was Monday until then so it all worked for the best.

We've gave Andy some time to settle in with the team you ruined and it took a little while for him to get up to speed, even with the 5 sec. continue on.

Elgin managed a friendly victory over 10 man Airdrie Utd. and then were dumped from the cup by newly relegated East Fife 2 - 1. Probably a fair result.

We've started well in the league though with a convincing 3 - 0 win over Gretna in the opener with a hat trick for the Stirling born former Peterhead striker--one of Ian's favorites.

And Graham, if you're interested in the fate of your former club...
Well beaten in the last two friendlies as I tried to assess the squad, then totally slaughtered in the cup by relegated Berwick . however just when it was looking bad bad bad we started our league account with a 2-2 away draw. It was against Stranrae and I see where they finished last season but hey, it's a start.

I've got a write up all ready to post altho' i fear I may have mis-remembered some details. I'll post it soon.

And having familiarised myself with the squad etc. in my first session I don't think I'll be so slow in future sessions

retired_mekeesha

Well I'm keeping the QP torch burning. In five games we failed to score a single goal although we did salvage one goalless draw.

we're sitting pretty at the foot of the league and I'm poised to earn a reputation as an even worse manager than Graham :o

Watching with interest, especially H3's progress. Go those might Shrews!!

Now H3, if you want any tips on who is good/bad in that squad I'll be more than happy not to help you out.
