Breadalbane's modern day rise through the amateur ranks can be almost traced back exactly to when you left them can it not? :D

You won't be able to play in puddles at amateur level Frenchy, should definitely stick with PSJ :D

Obviously we wouldn't stand in your way (we cant :-(), but may I make one wee comment from experience... I played amateurs for two seasons as I was unable to afford to see Saints much, and whilst it was okay, it became a chore and I missed the fact I could go and see Saints. It's fair to say that most players you come up against now are amateur level and you would not be pushing yourself much further than you are now. The one thing in amateurs favour is more regular games, but we are not too bad ,weather permitting.

If I was so bold as to suggest, if it's about more regular football... stick with us, you get the craic and get to see Saints and play Pub League too, they have regular games and between the two, that's lots of footy.

Best of luck in whatever you decide.

[perthsaint1884]

Dale I went to Coupar Juniors last year and its nothing compared to PSJ. I do have to say my oppinion is you stick with us but it's your choice

[Rodgers]

reject both offers and sign for gannochy :wink:

[Frenchy 89]

I have decided to stay with PSJ the banter is second to none and enjoy playing with the group of lads... and need to reach top goalscorer for the IFA league *** :mad:

[Saintkev]

****, me and my big mouth, I've talked a striker into staying with us, will I ever score again!?!:sad:

But seriously, good choice :wink:

[Al C]

Well in Frenchy.

One of the top goalscorers in the IFA at the minute is someone called A Dale -never heard of him :D

Maybe - Nick, Nips.

Unavaiable - Stewart, Spew, Chips.

Could do with considerable reinforcement!!

[Al C]

[Al C]

Elvis is in as long as he can get a lift from Perth and to Dumfries afterwards - should be fine.

Wonka is in but can't make Saints game so he will just drive back up the road after PSJ game.

[nips]

Sorry Al, looking extremely doubtful for this one.

[williamwonka]

im driving to PSJ then back home. Sanj is available. do we need the coag? Ill assume we do and that will give me 2 spare seats on the way home ( have to pick someone en route home )

[Al C]

[Rodgers]

i can play, i need a lift

forgot to say;

id like to go to the game after

[Al C]

Squad update - Wee Lee, Rodgers, Capt, Rodge, Dunbar, Wonka, Elvis, G, Al, Dale, Sanj, Barca.

Got a few possibles in the pipeline but nothing confirmed. Could do with a couple more bodies to reinforce the squad.

Kev will need to confirm what time to meet at in Perth, will chase up with him.

[Al C]

Capt Kev says for Perth cats to meet at Tesco at 7.15am. Nice early start for you.

Chopper is in as well.

[Rodgers]

I Don't think my clock has a 7AM!

well that rules out drinking on friday night

[Frenchy 89]

I am meant to have work but going to call in sick *** but i am going to the game aswell aslong as we have enough cars :D

[Spew]

I take it no one at your work looks on this forum then Frenchy!

I could possibly make it to Ayr for the second half, can't get out of doing the first couple of hours at work. Going to the saints game so would be space in my car from Ayr to dumfries if anyone needed a lift there.

Any scran on after the game in ayr?

[Burn]

I might take you up on the ayr to dumfries. Need a lift to Ayr though. Rodge?

[Al C]

IAny scran on after the game in ayr?

They have offered but turned it down as folk will need to leave relatively sharp to get to Dumfries.

[Al C]

I will be driving G and myself from Hamilton, will leave at about 9am. The Southern Orbital now means that Glasgow can be completely avoided on the way to Ayr.

If somebody can drive from Glasgow then that ideally suits. If they can't then train to Hamilton is straightfroward and can leave from there.

I am going to Saints game afterwards so ideally would go direct but if necessary will go back via Hamilton and then down the M74.

[perthsaint1884]

Rodgers said he is geting the bus back from the Saints game, so if there is a bit of a push with Perth folk going to games and geting hame, that gives an extra space as somebody could jump in with a weegie to get to Dumfries then take his place in the car coming back up

[Frenchy 89]

:p i will need a lift to ayr and would also need a lift to and from dumfries...........i served the one and only ALAN MAIN last night in the co-op i knew we were better than tesco *** :p

Spew is hoping to arrive for the second half and will be going to Saints game after so will have room if required. Should have plenty of cars for getting to Dumfries.

Tough game tomorrow and know it is an early start but please make sure you show up!! We will need everyone tomorrow. We are on a great run and hopefully we can keep it going. No reason why we can't.

Any problems just give me a shout. Cheers.

[Al C]

This one finished in a two nil defeat for PSJ. PSJ MOM was G, Opposition MOM was Dale.

It was as tough a game as expected with the swirling wind making it even harder. I thought we played well though and matched KaisAyr, especially in the first half. First goal was always going to be crucial and so it proved.

The ref was not to blame for the result but he certainly didn't help. It felt like every 50/50 went their way and the throw in for their first goal was blatanlty ours - you may have noticed me having a debate with the ref about it. Being elbowed in the face and him not noticing was also not that great but had given up expecting a decision by that point.

We get the chance for revenge next Saturday when we host KaisAyr in Almondbank. Another tough game but no reason we can't get a win. See seperate thread for squad confirmation etc. Cheers.
