Confirmed I have stood down from FC Bayside. Great bunch of lads and have really enjoyed the season and a half with them. Told FC Bayside and the boys approx 2 months ago I was standing down. Due to baby number 3 being on way I couldn’t continue to commit the hours I was to run the team. With Scott and jimmy helping out I was still struggling with all the commitments with training etc that those who have managed a team before are aware of. I was was offered a role at Rosyth juniors which is less commitment and I accepted. A new challenge which I’m looking forward to. Been a really challenging season but have enjoyed bumping into boys I haven’t seen for years and used to compete with when I played. FC Bayside have struggled to get a replacement and due to this have decided not to put a senior team forward this year and wait until the younger teams come of age to re-apply. My personal thanks to Tom D and Jane B who have helped me throughout the season. Cheers Russ

Well thank goodness that's the season over for us, it's been a harder than thought slog, didn't finish in the league in the best half up top but didn't end up going down, phew,,,, a big thanks goes out out to our players, coaches, committee and sponsors, well done to all teams that complete the season and also went on to win major honours.

Na bud. Enjoying playing for a few more years yet. You don’t get the same commitment from boys as you did years ago. You’ll know that yourself.

Kelty 8-0 MethilHill Well played to the Kelty lads the only thing that anyone was playing for was Kelty top scorer and if it wasn't for our keeper could have been double. Not one to complain on here but when a result isnt sent in on time the results email has missing results with tbc next to names. Tonight' email not a mention of the game we HAD to play. A pointless game in a cup that the final was played last week (the final!!!). I got an email a week last Thursday 9:30pm to say we had a game on the Saturday that is not enough time boys want overtime at work, family, other commitments and can't wait for SOMEONE to make a decision on another game and give a team 24hrs notice they have a fixture it's appalling considering still have weeks till end of season. By the way got fined £50 as I spent first day of my holiday to get a squad to play Kelty in the league but failed to after trying all day instead of spending time with family. The same team that we played in a cup tonight that has already finished surely the game should have been the cup 2 weeks ago to make tonight a bit more worthwhile but who am I to make such an obvious choice. Big thanks to Kelty tonight who played the fixture as it should have been played we struggled to get 11 boys to Kelty and lost our captain at 2-0 and imploded after that. With 5 boys over 30 we were struggling with Kelty relentless pressure. One point though Bubs was an awesome ref tonight he got almost all decisions spot on ref was outstanding. And for everyone who slates the wee shite sometime to walk up to both teams at the end of the game and hand his fee back and said cheers boys but no charge thats a ref right there who is a football boy at heart also accommodated both teams as well. More like Bubs and this league would run alot better cheers wee man. Good luck Kelty Rant over lads.x

They have. They've bumped up all the fees which will help kill off more clubs and therefore reduce fixture congestion caused by a bad winter.

Ffs just heard a beauty ...... player signed .. player no signed ... different signatures ... wtf is going on in our league .....

Just say what you see

no often i agree with you Pete but your right, the junior set up in Fife and probably most of the East of Scotland are suffering because of how the leagues are set up. Teams are traveling too far nowadays on a regular basis and can they afford it ......... only they can tell that. Scottish cup games meant a bus because you were playing a team 50/60 miles away at least but because of the movement in the leagues you have that on regular basis. The previous Fife league had the furthest game as St Andrews playing Clackmannan which was possibly only 2 games a season. Attendances at the games now a days are they good, again I can't comment. Costs to go and support your team can your local supporter afford this ? Old league set up was it better, I would say yes from a selfish point of view. Local derbies were brilliant, The Bell v Albert, Thornton v Glens, Hob v Crossgates, Oakley v Tulliallan/Clachmannan. Do players get paid too much nowadays. Maybe some of the better players do as they can organise a better deal than they should get ( heard this from a manager ), but there are some junior players who get paid are they any better than the good Ammy players. Not saying all players are like this but some have aspirations well above their station. Junior football is a must in our local areas, hopefully it continues but it needs the support of local ammy teams to provide the next in line for them.

3 definites

Congratulations Leven United.

Fair play to boy ivory tonight like, deliberately missed a penalty after the ref awarding a penalty for something only he seen. Unfortunately the ref continued it after that making bad decision after decision for both teams to be fair. one of the worst performances I've ever seen. Well done Styx and well done ivory great sportsmanship for a great wee player.

Still pretty tight at the bottom with any 2 from 3 to go down rosyth have to win and hope other 2 teams lose to force play offs bayside and kingdom both on the same points good luck to all 3 teams

Aww naw the committee will be devastated with this.. slap on the wrist for the favourites a reckon

Good to hear

Is it any coincidence that the Glens without Cooper made some progress this season but Lochgelly who have been improving over the last couple of years have now gone backwards? I think not.

Heard they have folded bud. Sign of the times.

lets try summer football .

Rosyth 2-1 leven

Good result neeb

Junior football is finished in fife neeb ... gie it two more seasons and sponsors will be pulling oot of junior football ....... 30 teams have joined the east of scotland league

Ok am not having ago but going on past were teams cant fulfill a fixture the opposition had to put in a letter to claim the points ... didnt know the rule had changed .... rather than fine them dock points from the start of next season am sure they wont do it again ...... other teams doing this as well is an embarrassment to the league and fining them is no good imo but docking points would hurt more imo

What a farce hows ym got the points already surely they have to put a letter in to claim the points ........

Well done leven

Has to be a play off as goal difference is unfair on teams getting 3 points but no goals

Just guessing here but might have something to do with when teams can't fulfil a fixture and it goes down as a 2 or 3 nil win instead of an actual accurate score, which could have been more or less so only fair way to do it is on the pitch. I think it's a good way and makes it that little bit special for the team who wins.

Cheers Colin mate , you have a cracking side yourself bud , and I guarantee , Fife Thistle will be back up again next season, all the best mate

Athletico 2-2 west end

I’ve been told they will go to Glenrothes if Sean Simpson is appointed manager but also heard a wee rumour that Bibby may be about to leave the Haws and chances are that they could end up there if rumours of his replacement are true. McCookies latest odds; Dundonald Bluebell..............................4/7 Glenrothes...(with Simpy in charge) 11/10 H.O.B..( under the new management) 7/1 Kennoway Star Hearts.......................10/1 Thornton Hibs ....................................20/1 Kelty.....................................................50/1 Glenrothes ( if Campbell’s manager) 100/1

Lochgelly 0 Oakley 3 Oakley end the season with a comfortable win against the Berts. With 47 goals for and 12 against since Foxy’s introduction, a 2-0 loss our only defeat against runaway leaders Pumpherston it’s been a great end to the season and I for one am already looking forward to the next, whatever league we’re playing in.

Good result for ylum, Muchty 2. HoB 1. Bad night at the office AGAIN.
