Why fix something that’s not broken? Kids games/tournaments/festivals are some Saturday mornings so some boys won’t be able to do both. Also a lot of people work Saturdays. Working till 12/1 then they can still make the football. Boys look forward to playing football then get into the pub in time for the scores and losing coupons with a pint. Personally a don’t see it working, only lose more players/teams.

Glens 2 Luncarty 2 First visit to Warout this calendar year, an opportunity to reassess my own opinion of the current management pairings ability to take the club forward as they were up against the Bleachers who themselves are in a relegation battle. After back to back hammerings from bottom half clubs Penicuik (5-1) and Haddington (7-0) one half of the deluded duo was in the press this week with the usual excuses that A. they’d players missing due to injury, B. the ref was poor and C. get this, it was windy Granted they were missing 2 or 3 regulars against Haddington at the weekend (a sign of things to come next season without Cargy ) but the previous game against the Cookie who are only one placing above in the league table they were almost at full strength. Obviously being reduced to 10 boys in the Haddington game was a big factor in that match but the co managers assessment that Smarty “ kind of got caught underneath the ball, it bounced awkwardly and he kind of pushed his arm out” kind of tells me exactly what happened and the red card was kind of warranted. As for the “blowing a gale” excuse, I’ll treat that one with the contempt it deserves. Back to last nights match and Martins claim that “It's the biggest game of the season so far…..In my eyes it’s a must win game. We’ve got six games left and I’m looking to take nine points as I think that will keep us in the league." I disagree it was a must win game having scoured over the remaining fixtures but was certainly one they couldn’t afford to lose. He’ll now be looking to take six points from the fixtures against Crossgates and Inverkeithing For me that point earned last night with a late equaliser after a poor showing from both sides will kind of be enough to see them remain in this league. The big question is, are the chairman and his commitee happy for more of the same next season or do they harbour any ambition to take Glenrothes forward because like I said at the start of this season neither of the “we can con Pete” in this league, duo have the tactical noose.

Hi guys "Looking for teams for a friendly against Bridge of Earn AFC in Perthshire. Prefer a home tie with referee and food arranged. Previous opponents backed out, but open to traveling if necessary."

Haws 3 Glens 0 HOB too hot to handle It was pointed out to me midweek that the Glens now faced a run of 5 home games in their next 6 fixtures in the lead up to Christmas. Perhaps that wee bit of luck they’ve been crying out for. So where better to start than against fellow strugglers Hill of Beath Hawthorn. The deluded two had an induction to the managerial prowess of Moods and Clarky earlier in the season when they were knocked out of the Alex Jack cup by second division Newburgh so they will have been happy not to have lost the first half which finished goalless. Be interesting to hear what “me and John” had to say at half time this week. Much easier to not lose the second half when a team is 6-1 up and takes their foot off the gas. Whatever they decided to change up a bit this week was again to no avail as an electric Haws side ran out easy 3-0 winners. Compete at this level? Losing recently by 3 goals to bottom club Luncarty and now by another 3 to relegation rivals at home tells you everything you need to know about the managerial situation at Glenrothes. So much for the eye of the tiger.

Well, hapless Kev didn’t disappoint with his deflection and denial comments after the 4-1 gubbing by bottom club Luncarty. So I knew the moment Ross Kavanagh bagged his third goal in the first quarter of the match, what the other half of this comedy duo would have to say in his turn to do the match report. Moaning about conceding soft goals, anything to deflect attention from himself. Presenting himself as someone more hard done by than simply outclassed by another vastly better, and smarter manager. Nothing in his comments surprised me in the least.The playbook at Glens is so predictable. Huge congratulations to him on winning the “we never lost the second half” cup. The 7-2 mauling from mid table Sauchie has cast a dark shadow over Warout and this hopeless pair know it. They are in dire trouble. Swept aside on Saturday as if they weren’t there. Only six points from eleven games is embarrassing. No amateur club would accept this and they badly need put out of their misery but as I’ve highlighted before they don’t have the balls to and it’s now the people who continue to hire them who are the laughing stock.

Luncarty 4 we can con Pete 1 Before the season got underway I predicted, this squad weren’t good enough for this league and conceding six goals would be a regular occurrence. In my opinion the current managerial team were also out of their depth and in order for the Glens to progress they should do the honourable and resign. It appears for now that I underestimated the “back 3” 😂 as for the third game in a row they have only conceded 4 goals. However my opinion of the deluded two who repeatedly claim “we can compete at this level” hasn’t changed. Week after week all we hear is excuse after excuse. Players out injured, the referee,and my favourite “we just need that little bit of luck” They talked of having several players out injured and as luck would have it never had a fixture for three weeks. What more luck do they need? Can’t wait for this weeks excuse after losing heavily to bottom club Luncarty because the natives are getting restless.

I notice their Facebook page and badge says simply "Rosebank AFC", but they are referred to as Rosebank Rangers elsewhere - last season they were known as Rosebank Athletic (after they merged with Fife Athletic), but they were still called Rosebank Rangers almost everywhere. The Rosebank Athletic Facebook page was updated last season, while the Rosebank AFC page was not. This season, it's the reverse.

Bluebell have been nowhere near their best recently so a great opportunity for the Glens to bounce back from last weeks humiliation at lowly Newburgh and show for once they are capable of competing at this level. A nervy start from the visitors saw the Glens take an early lead and after a fairly even first half amid some sloppy defending from both sides saw the home side lead 2-1 at half time courtesy of a fluke cross that nestled into the back of net. Into the second half and the Glens management team decided to change things around adding what they later described as “experience”. From here on in it was men against boys with the Bell running out easy 4-2 winners. Only positive I could see from a Glens point of view was the healthy crowd who chose to turn up and spend their couple of quid instead of going to the coop for a bridey and a juice. However that might all change soon….. Michael Beale thinks 50,000 booing and telling him to fook off because he’s clueless and his substitutions never make sense after being knocked out of one competition, then losing a league game at home to his fiercest rivals who aren’t at their best is bad, spare a thought for the Glens boss who couldn’t sleep on Saturday night and took to social media at half 2 on Sunday morning to tell one fan not to come back for his apparent negativity. Further proof if any is needed he’s out of his depth. Rather than just insults, calling anyone who has a different opinion negative or even toxic for being unhappy at the state of the team, let's hear why we should be positive instead.

I'm 22, not played for a team since 2020 so would expect to be a backup/reserve keeper. Preferably a team with a goalie coach. I'm local to Kirkcaldy but can work out travel arrangements for teams around Glenrothes/Dunfermline etc. Cheers Contact No. 07599559212 Send me a message!

1. I fully understand how it looks. A lot of people were thinking we tried to get out of getting hammered, why would we do this when we’ve won one game since the start of preseason? We aren’t bad losers, we’re a new team and understand results won’t go our way for a while. We can take a hiding and fully agree that we got beat 6-1 and St Monans should be awarded 3 points. 2. It was discussed at half time due to the absolute ridiculous referee we had not protecting players on the park. I don’t think anyone on this planet that wasn’t there would understand what both teams had to endure yesterday. 3. When the call was made, nobody realised how much time was left - probably inexperience and a rash decision in the sense of the time that the decision was made. We still stand by our actions however should have been done earlier in the game. 3. St Monans fully deserve the 3 points and we will take whatever sanctions come our way provided there is action taken against said referee as both teams and the sidelines witnessed how bad this referee was, regardless of what they think of the clubs decision to forfeit the match. 4. On that note, we tried to forfeit rather than abandon the game due to the ludicrous decision he made at that time. We didn’t ask for it to be abandoned. He wouldn’t listen to us. Told us to shut up and said match abandoned. 5. I for one along with the rest of the club from what I’ve heard, are completely against getting on referees backs, we know they have a tough job. I’ve been involved with Ammies football all my days and have NEVER in my life come across such an incompetent and aggressive referee in my life. These views are my own and not the clubs 👍🏻

Not sure if you're involved with Leven Hearts but if so then what on earth did you think you were you gong to gain from walking off the park with 2 minutes to go? Ridiculous behaviour that will lead to penalties and sanctions from the league which won't help you.

Bridge of Earn beat Lochgelly. feel like this is trolling now.

Think lochgelly won 1-0

Cracking result today in the Scottish cup, Abbey Vale 0-5 Cupar Hearts. Play Jeanfield Swifts next round.

Still utterly and completely inept at running a piss up in a brewery

Become a Referee! Love them or hate them, your local association needs you! There is a massive shortage of referees across Scotland at all levels. The next referee course starts in Dunfermline on 29th August. Interested? Register here; Fife Football Referee Association | Scottish FA

auchtermuchty bellvue are looking for a friendly on saturday 5th august at home. been let down as opponents pulled out .contact jimmy on 07932380040

Was brought up at the AGM lad. Fully agree. Their reasons were the Scottish cup and winter causes too much games to be moved… why not just leave a period of weeks blank towards end of the season for games to be replayed, it’s not that difficult tbh

Too stubborn to admit they need help, that’s the problem.

Remember that night came out of retirement at 51 to help as Cupar Hearts goalie was injured, I was well embarrassed as I should have been played many years in the Fife Junior League and won many trophies, I remember the great times and also remember a couple of bad ones this was definitely one of those bad days, have to congratulate you for scoring, apologies to all for my mistakes I don't think any player has not dived or rolled about in their careers, maybe I'm sure will be I bit better than mine then again maybe not, best regards to everyone Henry Salmond

It's incredibly these sort of things keep happening. A simple quick logic check is all that's needed, there should be no excuse for this happening.

We've asked for that to be looked into as it's absolutely ridiculous to play our opening two league games against the same team!

Strath v fife thistle first 2 games of the season 🤯🤣

Pittenweem Rovers are looking for pre season friendlies. Our pitch is not available so are willing to travel. Looking for fixtures for 22nd and the 29th. If anyone is interested give me a shout on 07731580043.

STRATHMIGLO UNITED FC Managerial Opportunity Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances our management team will no longer be able to stay in charge of the team for next season. We are now looking for a manager/management team to take over the squad. A strong core of our team are already signed up for next season, we have a highly dedicated committee, some fantastic sponsors and our club chairman who’s been at the club for 20 years! This is a perfect opportunity for a manager to come and take over at an amazing club well known in amateur football for being a big club with a great history. If anyone has any questions feel free to give the page a message and we will get back to you as soon as possible. If you are interested in the position(s) dont hesitate to give our chairman, John Mckay , a call on 07379285816 to chat about the details of the role. Thanks⚪️🔴

Cupar have no game today, no game next Saturday due to boys being called up to international. Wonder if they will be made to play Tuesday 16th, Thursday 18th, Saturday 20th or is that just the rules for everyone in Group B that’s had to do it. Will be interesting to see what happens anyway 🤭

I think it would be good idea. Guys could attend senior games in the afternoon. I know some players don't play as they are away watching their teams games every 2nd week and have season tickets. Be interesting to see associations who have went from the change to see if it has benefited then in any way.
