Looking in the dressing room last week at full time after drawing 1-1 with Troon the HONOURS HONOURS SENIOR HONOURS boys were all disappointed. We came in at half time 1-0 up and we thought if we Scottish Junior Cup Intermediate Cup SFL Division 2 could keep a clean sheet then we’re going to get the first win of the season. Winners : 1941-42 Winners : 1929-30 Champions : 1975/76 We were under the cosh for the early part of the second half, but after we lost the Runners-Up : 2008-09 Central League SFL Division 2 goal I thought we came back into it. For me, what was difficult was that we were up against a team that play so many high balls into the box and that more or less play Sectional League Cup Champions : Runners-Up : 1997/98 route one, so when you lose your two central defenders to injury, that was hard.

The greater financial demands of the top League, but with fewer games, means it is a real challenge just to stand still. Some fans might not like hearing that, but tough. Wish Bankies The reality is that we are running a part-time football club on a shoestring and the only people we all the best can turn to are the people who care. Money matters in football. It matters most. The teams with the for season most money win the most times. That's how it goes the world over. Of course, it's not the only thing 2014-2015 if it was we would not have finished in the top four and won two cups last year. I rarely mention budgets but I have to say when I hear some fans say they get fed up hearing about money I shake my head. How do you suppose a club with 20-odd part-time employees actually runs if it is not with money? Fresh air? Money is a huge factor in football. This year we have been hit with some horrendous injury problems. Other teams could go out and pay a transfer fee to strengthen. We can't, it's as simple as that. We made an enquiry a few weeks ago for a player valued at £2500. It was wishful thinking. Two other teams were in for the player. One from a lower League offered double the best wage we could offer. The team he went to could pay the fee. We couldn't even compete. I feel sorry for our manager sometimes. He has delivered top four finishes and three cups in the last three seasons, yet he can't go out and pay a transfer fee.
