4 CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2013-14 CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2013-14 33 Budgie’s Bit After 5 minutes of last Saturdays game at Newlandsfield we found ourselves 2 goals down and I remember thinking to myself, is it going to be one of those days? Thankfully the boys recovered relatively quickly from that shock, fought back admirably and eventually showed great spirit and belief to come out worthy winners of what was a real action packed contest. The purists might question some of the defending on show, and rightly so, but I think most people will feel that they got decent value for their en- trance fee. We had some excellent performances on the day and a special mention must go to Ross McPherson, who not only gave their defence a torrid time whilst helping himself to a brace but also put in a performance full of effort and courage. In life in general, it is sometimes easier to think about what you’ve ‘not got’ and ‘would like’ rather than appre- ciate what you actually have. That can be relevant when it comes to football and whilst we always strive for perfection, I am genuinely appreciative of this current squad of play- ers and have a huge amount of respect for the effort they give to our club and I think right now that deserves to be put on record. As I have said before they are a really good bunch of guys to work with and I think in general they not only give us plenty of entertain- ment and commitment but also show me, my backroom team and everyone else at the club plenty of respect. Today we entertain Kilbirnie Ladeside who seem to be having a good season. Our league game in Ayrshire against them earlier this season was a tight affair and I don’t imagine this one will be any easier. If we can manage to secure the 3 points from this game, I think it would make it quite hard for them to bridge the gap on us in the league table therefore that is what we will looking to do. We know Kilbirnie will bring a decent size support with them so please get behind our lads again and give them as much vocal backing as possible.

Onwards and upwards,

Billy McGhie

32 CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2013-14 CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2013-14 5 Bankies at Pollok 01/03/2014

Clydebank bounced back brilliantly from the loss of two early goals to overpower poor Pollok. Bankies’ 100 per cent record at Newlandsfield looked dead and buried as the relegation-haunted home men raced 2-0 ahead inside six minutes. A healthy crowd inside the ground were still getting over the shock of the pie stall being closed when Pollok scored. Josh Horne stood over a free-kick 30 yards out and with keeper Robert Hamilton expecting a cross the player glided a shot into his top right-hand corner. Bankies’ bad start was to continue on six minutes when Graeme McLaren headed home from a corner but that was as good as it got from Pollok.

The visitors finally woke up and with Vinnie Berry pulling the strings in midfield and widemen Ian Gold and Ciaran McElroy looking to run at defenders they started to take hold of the game. However, their way back www.weddellsgarage.co.uk into the match was given a helping hand in 19 minutes by Mark McLennan who hauled down McElroy in the email [email protected] box and Ross McPherson coolly sent Johnny Murdoch the wrong way from the spot. McLennan was booked for his troubles and Bankies midfielder Tommy Martin was next to be cautioned when he stopped Lok’s Jamie Watson illegally as he broke forward. McPherson’s strength had caused Lok problems and he nearly levelled after a neat turn and shot that was blocked then four minutes before the break a Berry shot from close range was saved superbly by Murdoch. There was controversy right on half-time when McLaren was short with a header back to his keeper and McPherson seemed to be clipped as he tried to cash in. It would have been a straight red for last man McLaren but the ref waved play on and Bankies coach Budgie McGhie was spoken to for his protests.

The second half resumed with Bankies on top and it was no surprise when the equaliser arrived in 52 minutes. Berry was tripped just outside the box and the ref awarded a free-kick . Ross McPherson stepped up to drill the ball around the wall and low past Murdoch. Five minutes later the turnaround was complete and it was a nightmare for the Lok defence who failed to deal with a straightforward corner. Berry’s ball into the middle cleared everyone including Murdoch and skipper Austin McCann guided the ball into an unguarded net for his first Bankies goal and the easiest he’ll ever score.

Hamilton raced quickly off his line to block from Watson as Pollok briefly rallied but Bankies were in control and Willie Howie and Kieran McAleenan were both booked for fouls on Berry as the home side clung on. McPherson blasted a great chance over after skinning his marker then his de- flected shot was tipped to safety by Murdoch. Bankies finally got the fourth they deserved when sub Joe Andrew hooked the ball into the path of left-back Andy Paterson and he controlled on his chest before volleying a cracker high past Murdoch from just inside the box. There was just time for Kevin Bradley to make the scoreline tighter than it was when he neatly found the net after the ball broke to him in the box.

From The Boardroom

Our recent back-to-back league wins have put us in a strong position to challenge for a top four finish and edge us away from the wrong end of the table. The Premier Division is a terrific league but to my mind it is far too small. You could argue that this makes it far more competitive and interesting and there is no doubt you'd have a point. But I also think that it makes many of the top Junior clubs far too vulnerable to the threat of relegation. Beith took the drop last year and this season Pollok and Arthurlie find themselves in a survival battle. I have to say it is in no-one's interests that such illustrious names in the Junior game crash out of the top flight. I favour a bigger league. Adding two more sides to the Premier Division would increase revenue and make the league a lot less cut-throat. The added revenue would be welcomed by all.

At our own club, we are in the incredible position that today, March 8th, sees our first league match at home in THREE months. A quarter of a year between matches where you keep the full gate receipts. And in that time wages, bills and all sorts of other expenses have to be paid. Thankfully, events like tonight's Sportsman's Dinner generates cash to pay our way. The dinner is a sell-out, with 200 tickets sold. Staging the event is a team effort and I'm glad to say everything is set for another great night.

Before then, though, we have today's opponents to entertain. Kilbirnie Ladeside are one of those great names in the Junior game and it is good to see them back in the top flight. Hopefully both sides will produce an exciting match for both sets of fans to enjoy.

Please give the players your best support.

The joint management team of Mark Crilly and Stephen Swift Bankies keeper Robert have had a very good start to their managerial careers in the top flight after bringing Kilbirnie Ladeside into the Hamilton will make his top division as runners-up last term.

Top Goalscorers Kilbirnie Ladeside always bring with them a healthy travelling support. Sadly their supporters have been labelled with a reputation for trouble but that has never been in evidence when these two sides meet. So Player Team League Cup Total much so that fans of both sides are firm friends and regularly play football matches against each other, Willie Sawyers Rob Roy 11 17 28 well something that resembles football matches. This fixture was originally scheduled to be played last Stewart Kean Hurlford Utd 11 14 25 month and the mascots of both sides were helping cement this friendship with a half-time penalty shoot- Chris Mackie Petershill 14 9 23 out which will now take place this afternoon. Can Titan the Monkey outperform KT Cat? We shall see. Richie Barr Pollok 10 9 19 Clydebank have been in a rich vein of scoring form in recent weeks, much to the delight of the supporters, David Gormley Auchinleck Talbot 13 5 18 netting eleven in their last three games with seven of these coming in the last two league outings. Over Ian Diack Pollok 4 13 17 these same three matches the team have conceded five which is a little more worrying to the Bankies Aaron Connolly Glenafton Athletic 5 11 16 faithful. On a few occasions this term the defence has lost some incredibly soft goals which has caused a Robert Love Cumnock 7 8 15 great deal of consternation amongst the fans. Kilbirnie Ladeside’s form in their last three games has been Paul Maxwell Irvine Meadow 6 8 14 a little chequered. A league defeat at Auchinleck was perhaps not unexpected but reports suggest that the Chris Craig Kilbirnie Ladeside 5 9 14 3-0 scoreline flattered the Beechwood Park side. Their other two fixtures were both in the Ayrshire Cup. A Paul Woods Petershill 2 11 13 fairly comfortable 4-0 first round victory at Annbank was followed by a bit of a shock when Largs Thistle Gary Smith Arthurlie 8 4 12 knocked them out at Valefield by the odd goal in three last weekend. Clydebank ran out 3-1 winners at Keir Milliken Auchinleck Talbot 6 6 12 Largs just a few weeks ago so it is natural for supporters to feel that their favourites should prevail this Ross McPherson Clydebank 8 4 12 afternoon. Alas, football doesn’t follow this flawed logic and it will take an almighty effort from the players if Mick McCann Auchinleck Talbot 0 11 11 Bankies are to come away with the three points on offer today. Bryan Young Auchinleck Talbot 5 6 11 Ross Robertson Hurlford Utd 1 10 11 Blasties fans have been very happy with their side this term. Rumours were rife at the beginning of the Gary McCann Irvine Meadow 4 7 11 season that Kilbirnie Ladeside had some money behind them for this season. These rumours have been Alan Kinney Glenafton Athletic 1 9 10 strenuously denied on social media websites and classed as mischief making by supporters of teams who John Dempster Hurlford Utd 1 8 9 are perhaps a little jealous of the return to the top flight of the club “everybody loves to hate”. With 27 JP Boyle Kilbirnie Ladeside 6 3 9 points already banked it is safe to say that Kilbirnie Ladeside will be in this division again next term. In- Ryan Deas Rob Roy 2 7 9 deed it is also possible for them to finish comfortably in the top six if not the top three or four. This would Euan Lindsay Largs Thistle 4 5 9 be seen as a magnificent achievement for a side that underwent a bit of a rebuild during the close season.
