With recent news that fife will be going into tier 3 , Cupar players will all be furloughed as off Friday

Definitely Bobsy has quit. Spoke to him today and he said it's just not worth the aggro losing your Saturday when there's so many better things to do than put up with that level of conduct. Got to say, if what's been said is true, you can't blame him. Refereeing is a thankless task and you can't be everywhere and see everything all the time. But likewise, you make decisions based on what you see. He doesn't have VAR or any other second opinion to rely. And contrary to what the Leven players were saying to him, he's not biased or got Cupar on a coupon. Think people need to reign in their abuse and comments of officials a little or there would be no games. I appreciate a lot is heat of the moment, but there's no need to accuse an official of cheating.

When training resumed in July - there was almost 0 cases nationally and you wanted it stopped. The virus remained low through August and you wanted the plans for games to be scrapped. The games were played in September with little issue. Now in October/November sadly due to factors outwith football, the virus has returned and rightly football will step aside. Dont come on here on top of any moral high horse claiming you had it spot on. You didnt. People who wanted football back knew 100% that the chances were the season would be stop/start and we were happy with that. Its stopped now and rightly so, and it will start again when its safe - no doubt when it does you and your crystal ball will be back predicting doomsday. You said football would never come back at all, and it did, and it’ll resume in not too long again. Cheers.

I don’t know if this is a dig at us Colin but I can assure you that we are certainly not happy with the current situation. Regardless of what tier we were in going to be in, there was no chance of us playing the next few weeks. We as a squad and club have no interest in going through what we went through last week, not worth it. Show me anyone else that would be daft enough to risk another isolation 2 weeks after they have just been through one. We all love playing football but not that much....

I wouldn’t worry about it mate, there’s more to life than amateur football. That famous cap of your’s still has a few seasons in it yet. We as a club voted against starting back as we all felt that it was too soon to be starting back in the current climate. Don’t get me wrong, nobody has forced us to play and it was all our own choice. In hindsight had we known how easily we could be caught up in all this like we have yesterday by track & trace then there is no way I would have certainly played & I would imagine the same would be with rest of squad. But bottom line is that we had a choice to play or not, we did play and are now being punished by not being allowed out to work for a week over a game of amateur football. Pete Muir got vilified on here for saying this would happen but he’s been bang on. People saying that they need amateur for mental health reasons might want to think about their mental wellbeing after they have been told they can’t get out to earn money and pay mortgages. I noticed there have been a few games called off with similar situation over the last few weeks, I assume they have all had same scenario we have faced & has call from track and trace? At end of day there is no finger pointing, i am just furious that I’ve now to take 7 days off my work over the head of all this.

Btw that is a full circle ya wee !!! Years of the past the invincibles was the main target of YaCant!! Now u are blowing them off 1 by 1 u wee ginger gordon Strachan looking CANT!!!! Turn coat BASSSSSSSAAAAAASSSSSSSS, Mav is twice the man u are saaaan

If you were that concerned, why weren't you taking precautions at games like wearing masks etc? Didn't seem to worry you being around your supporters at games etc. Just saying like, I thought you'd be at the least wearing a mask or something if you were so worried?

Test & protect also contacted all players. I just gave them advanced warning, as secretary & covid officer.

What a load of pishh lot of teams would like to be in cupars position no long ago cupar were taking double figure defeats but kept the team going and now teams are jealous

There is going to be plenty time to finish the season IF it continues. A understand your bothered you missed 2 games which is 2 weeks. What about the boys who are isolating on sick pay for 2 weeks? Amateur Football is the last thing on peoples minds when they are either self employed or having a family to provide for. A hope everyone affected and in isolation are safe and well.

You were saying what he’s said there in July when Fife was averaging less than 1 new case a day. So please. Get over yourself.

It’s not a Case of If you get the COVID it’s More a Chance of When, You can do Everything By the Book and Still end up with the Virus.

Hopefully you isolate for all of 2021 and let us all get on with it.

Insane how one team had a positive test two weeks prior and T&T lady who was spoken too said football wasn’t a big issue. You would think by now they’d have set protocols and guidelines. Instead it looks like someone makes it up on the spot depending on how the wind blows and whether they got their hole that week so in a good mood. hope everyone is well at Markinch and St Monans.

We take it on face value everyone is feeling well. We test temperatures and apply the anit bacterial stuff also.

I understand pittenweem and keltys position on this due to no wages and I would maybe be in the same mind set if I was self employed just incase it happened again especially coming up to Xmas. Has any other teams apart from our league been in the same scenario in Scotland??

What would you be suggesting if you were in our shoes then Colin? F*** the mortgages and bills, we have the premier division cup to play for...........

You must be happy as Larry at football getting stopped Pete. Probably been running around the living room all day with your pants on your head cheering!

Pandemic this and pandemic that. That’s all we ever bloody hear. Murder rate, unemployment, death rate, drug use, bla bla bloody bla. Between listening to all this shite and the hard time a get from ma wife and bairns, a Tuesday, Thursday and more so, match day is the little period of time that helps me to forget all this! As for self isolation, yes it’s a risk, but it’s a manageable one so I’m not having that as an excuse if the risks are managed. Affecting livelihoods?????, boys getting there studs caught on a heavy surface or astro and doing their ankles or cruciate is just as much a risk as catching Covid but do we just pack it in because of the risk........ no! The sooner we are all back playing and enjoying each other’s company, the bloody better!!

Boy"z" isn't even aloud to the in laws for xmas dinner this year for jumping ship

Hopefully the labour leader who brought up about travel restrictions getting eased gets voiced. If boys aren’t comfortable playing sit in the hoose for the next year get your shopping done online and never go out for dinner as this virus isn’t going away anywhere.Regarding the different scenarios from track and trace. We were all under the assumptions that with a positive test on the field nobody would have to isolate due to being outside only close contact which isn’t a player jn a game like we seen in pitenweem/Kelty game. This is something that needs cleared up on the re start.

Clubs wanted to play. Boys wanted to play. Playing football is actually one of the safer activities to do in these times compared to many others. Spikes in Fife haven’t come from football but we have to follow the rules and wait for things to change, Im confident it wont be too long. But we sit tight and keep safe for now. And when cases go down again (which they will), we’ll be ready to play again, much to your dismay.

At ten to five - here's Final Score, Fife style.

8 Referee told us 8 after the game boss.

That’s Pittenweem squad been contacted by track and trace, told to isolate till 6th November after a Kelty player we played against tested positive. I can only speak for myself but I certainly won’t be playing again until things have calmed down with all this, I can’t afford to take weeks off work over head of a game of football & I imagine the majority of our squad will feel the same. Before anyone comes on here spouting the same pish I’ve read on here over the last few months, I’ve played football in this league for years and like nothing more than a game of football but when it comes to people’s livelihood’s then it’s a simple no ta.

Probably the worst run of results too. Was the returning key man Gary Pearson? All joking aside the co managers have been well backed this season for an assault on what is a very poor conference division. One win from six against teams who will likely all finish in the bottom half come the end of the season is a joke. Even more laughable is the managers reports. Taking it in turns to cover up their own inadequacy, claiming week in week out how they dominate games and put poor finishing down to them being unlucky. Aware the defending is rank rotten but losses are contributed to not getting the breaks. Something is clearly wrong and in my opinion it has nothing to do with fate.

Mixed fortunes for our clubs in the first series of matches in this straight knockout competition. No real shocks but a couple of good performances. Notably in our featured match, where Thornton Hibs who entertained 4 times junior cup winners Rutherglen Glencairn from the top WOSL at Bayview. Thomson scoring the only goal of the game, early in the first half.Been asked to give a special mention to Ryan Linton who done really well deputising for the injured Millar last half hour of the game as the MOTM was apparently awarded to McNab again. No not the one at the back sent off 5 minutes from the end but the one in the middle who had the enviable task if you get my drift. A real backs to the wall second half effort but a superb result in the end. Well done lads. Great effort too by Rosyth,who at one point looked to be pulling off the shock of the day but eventually succumbed at home to Camelon going down 5-3.Elsewhere there was an uninspiring 1-0 win for the Haws away at Glasgow University and a comfortable day for Kirkcaldy against the amateurs from Lockerbie who still managed to score 3 goals. Defeats for the rest of Fife’s contingent with Newburgh and Crossgates losing on the road to Blackburn 3-1 and Coldstream 2-0 respectively, Burntisland 4-1 at Bo’ness and Inverkeithing by 6 goals to 3 at Gartcairn. Kennoway lost 3-0 at Treaton Park to the bhoys from St Rochs. Glenrothes were beaten 5-1 at Starks Park to St Cadocs ( heard they were lucky not to concede 3 or 4 more) but the most embarrassing result for the second week running was at Langlands road where St Andrews exited the competition, (unless HRAU have fielded another ineligible player) after a 3-2 defeat.

Just hope everyone is safe i have been at it from day one that this would happen to guys and when it happens is when it really kicks in when you get the dreaded call . why boys were wanting to keep playing and risk there lives .. there livelihoods and there own famalies lives is beyongd me alot of boys on here beginning to look silly now but am no gonnae slag anyone i just want everyone to be safe and well football will be back but only when its safe

One of our players from Saturday woke up feelin unwell on Sunday. Got a test and came back positive. They say your infectious 2 days prior to showing symptoms. So as a result it effects our game v st monans. Track and trace telling us. If you are in very close contact. I.e football all you need is 30 seconds exposure to potentially get the virus

That bassa Yacunt told uz all this would happen

We have 19 isolating from today

Bobbsys not quit if u believe that you definitely still believe in santa hes a snow flake loves a wee cry and people to beg him not to quit.... Bobbsy will be cast in the next league fixture and is 1/9 to give a penalty In that game Ps bobbsy is a brilliant cannt haha

No more getting to see the bobsy show. Gutted. Wonder if they will get a like for like, so it can continue like eastenders.

Stocks in Andrex have gone through the roof today in Lumphinnans!

Fitba's loss is boolin's gain. Welcome neebur.

Aye it is one of ur players told me FACT shat urself

So summer football boys aye. Least the pitches will be better.

Says the cant that pulled out a fixture against Bridge Of Earn the other week because they didnt have there strongest team available due to players from tier 3 not being aloud YET........... Will play all the so called less teams as you see them as easy points!! Shitebags

That AM Hearts your referring too? must have some bank balance .. but players beginning to migrate away so cant be all that sweet

Some furlough outgoings at that club

They are fu#king clueless. There will be a few clubs happy though judging by last nights meeting.

Think he is being sarcastic. Some teams must be doing it.

It's the Fife Football Forum - this is just a thread about the Sunday League. I put in the score because it was missing. Thanks Me

Beer bottle thrown at Rosebank player.

Have PM'd you Kev. Teams in your area, Fife thistle, Cupar Hearts, Kettle and the St andrews Teams, Strath, Fruechie, Muchty. Kettle United are a little light on Am's due to our tier 3 w****rs in Dundee staying home for a bit haha. So Space and a chance with us.

In an ideal world, all clubs would have similarly linked websites - as it means only a couple of clubs have results on the website (Kinross Colts, Bridge of Earn), and then there is a wait of a couple of hours before any other results gets populated (presumably from ref reports - and as we have seen, some referees haven't kept score correctly, for whatever reason). The matches concerned had an unusually high number of goals admittedly, but that shouldn't really be an excuse for a referee, who should have a notepad and pencil/pen.

Brilliant. Keep up the good work

I’m fine, just fucked off with it all to be honest. At end of day it was our choice to play so no finger of blame can be pointed. But it won’t be happening again as we will certainly not be putting ourselves in that position of risk, well I certainly won’t anyway. Can’t afford to, not until it’s safe to do so and this track & trace has eased off.

I know how it looks, that’s why I’m a touch annoyed. From the outside in it looks dodgy but I can 100% say we told them last Wednesday. Aye I hope so mate, if not we’ll have no choice but to start playing again
