Mr.Blue 182 Report post Posted September 2, 2011 Carlo Monti supposidly played for Kings Park Rangers on Saturday against Gourock Thistle AFC. Gourock Thistle being the team who have played St Mirren a couple of times in the renfrewshire cup in recent times. Anyway Thistle won 6-2 against KPR. My mate plays for Kings Park, told me he's been playing with them since the start of the season. Says he's nothing special. There's a storm on the horizon And for that I can't see the sun For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement For the ice cream van to come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bewilderedbeast 194 Report post Posted September 3, 2011 Talking about former players, I recently stumbled upon this: What Super Mel is up to now.... Can't believe this.....I read this thread and clicked the link about 6 last night........went to the Lighthouse about 9 pm and not later than half nine in walks Chris Millar with...................... Mell Bottiglieri, and his wife............photos to follow. Best part of the night was when Mel and his Mrs got up to sing, as they finished, the boys gave a chorus of ...... "Posh Spice is a Slapper, She's always on the Telly, and when she's shagging Beckham, she thinks of Bottiglieri" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stuart 29 Report post Posted September 3, 2011 Masterton debut for Talbot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzMExNKoc-0 came on as a sub after 65 mins, played a couple of good passes. My mate gave me a look of total disgust when he didn't go breenjing into a tackle and he blazed over from about 8 yards in the final minutes. Game finished 1-1.

Well, you can hardly blame him for having a mixed debut, having made the step up to the dizzy heights of the juniors. Now before Gavin goes, I'd like to ask him one more question. Do you like Abba?

stuart 29 Report post Posted September 3, 2011 You can rubbish the junior game all you want but Talbot are in the top 2 or 3 Junior sides in the country, definitely on a par with mid 2nd division I would say. Mind you, that game today was honking. Stuart MacDonald was playing for Cumnock. Don't think anyone else of note was playing. Only 2 bookings as well, blooming disgraceful.

TRVMP 3568 Report post Posted September 3, 2011 I'm not rubbishing the juniors. I'm rubbishing your conception of the juniors' being anywhere near SFL2 standard. The junior game is fine for what it is - it's just irritating that junior fans always surface every time they see a player not tripping over the ball to say "oh, he could do a job in the SFL", or because they can manage crowds in the mid-three figures (at £5 a go with a carry-out allowed in half the grounds) they're "on a par with the Second Division." As I said - junior football is fine for what it is, but with SFL regulations, SFL policing, SFL structures, SFL seasons and so on, not a single junior side in the country would be doing anything but scrambling around at the bottom of division 3. Which is why they remain junior - their setup works for them. Now before Gavin goes, I'd like to ask him one more question. Do you like Abba? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're spot on Nach0, I have gone to watch Bo'ness Utd, Linlithgow and Camelon in the past few seasons and never saw a single player who could make the step up. Andrew Shirra perhaps, but living on your fathers reputation maybe isn't enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuart 29 Report post Posted September 3, 2011 Well, I have seen Talbot a fair bit and would contend that the side they have at the moment would compete in SFL 2. Never thought about them not having to set wages aside for their ground which they may have to do in the SFL at the expense of players, but their ground is fairly decent anyway. They would get ripped every week in SFL1 and the upper echelons of 2, but they would not be disgraced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EanieMeany 942 Report post Posted September 11, 2011 I find the selective memory of Masterton's set-pieces funny too. Because anyone who says they were bad is obviously having a laugh. He's a talented player, I hope the reality check of the juniors coupled with his personal problems gives him the jolt he needs to screw the nut. An on-form Stevie Masterton could more than do a job in the First Division. AWMSC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
