Rule of thumb is usually to go with the website.

I get mixed up with all the Glendales!

 

Any idea what the initials are for? Can't say I know of them I'm afraid.

[dazzy_deff]

Relegated to division 3 last year so rebuilt the squad. Lot of new boys, took 3 from Mugiemoss. GOt some good players and 20 signed boys with one other in the pipeline.

 

No idea mate, down on the site as RAM. I believe they are a Torry side.

Get stuck in early doors, these poofs won't like it up them.

RAM are called RAM as they are or were sponsored by RAM Tubulars..........they were formerly known as West End Electrical.......spot the theme there? I think Division 3 is going to be very Open this year especially as there will be 7 Going up again due to Portlethen folding, people will say Formartine because of the backing they will have but really any of the teams could challenge for the Title perhaps unlike last 2 seasons where it has been a procession before a ball was kicked!!

[dazzy_deff]

Formartine were playing at Shedocksley last night and we were training. COuple of boys went round to watch and said they didnt look that special considering the backing. Famous last words though. I am confident we will be promoted if we keep our big squad, especially with 7 going up.

[Henry]

Why are so many going up? Is it usually that many?

[dazzy_deff]

2 division 2 leagues, 3 relegated from each. So normally 6 go up from division 3. With a team from the 1st folding, that means an extra promotion spot this year.

A guy through in sales works for them when they are short on numbers.

 

Hope this helps.

We beat Kemnay 1-2 last night, they were terrible.

 

We got beat 1-3 by Beacon Huns on Saturday, we were terrible.

 

So those were our only friendlies and think we had about 3/4 training sessions! That is what amateur football is all about lads!

 

Bring on Saturday!

we only had 2 friendlies too, against Newburgh who beat us, and Glentanar who we beat 1-0. 5 weeks of training, hopefully enough for the start on Saturday. I would ideally have liked more friendlies.

Dazzy,

 

Not talking down in regards to the division you're in but as long as you have a dedicated team of boys who are reasonably fit and skillfull you should be aiming for the 1st Division in two seasons time.

You should report them for not being an amateur team

[thefletch24]

I truly think Division 3 could be a lot tighter than it has been for a long time, slightly less teams this time as well which will help!! 17 teams last season was a killer for whoever was in that division.

[Dandy]

Formartine Utd have no link with the Highland League team.

[thefletch24]

according to the spiel on the AAFA site they do, or maybe I am reading it wrong?

[thefletch24]

Roberto, what like are Kintore will they be a force in Division 2?

[diamondsr4ever]

Bervey tomorrow, away to Ellon Wednesday.....canna wait until 2pm tomorrow, been a great pre-season and looking forward to the new season.

[thefletch24]

Exactly, the real football season starts tomorrow, Amateurs is where it is at and it costs nothing to go an watch it either!!

[GK55]

I believe Echt do not yet know what league they will be in this season i.e. Division 1 North or East - shambles.

[diamondsr4ever]

I heard that if Blackburn lose their appeal, and points deducted Echt will stay in the prem???

[Dandy]

I heard that as well but one of their players said they had already turned down the opportunity to stay in Premier as they thought, because they were in the relegation position, they deserved to go down. Fair play if that's true and I have no reason to doubt the guy.

[diamondsr4ever]

Really fella, are you shocked in any way?

 

nae sure.....cant see why its taken so long to sort it out....just a total shambles, however im not sure when they knew about the manager being on the touchline, its shite anyway...I got a 3 match ban last season and just stayed clear, its a nonsense, as if a club had 1 guy running in theyd be fiucked, as i think the ban includes changing rooms etc..( well it did for me)

 

ref Kintore, their youth could stand them in good stead for division 2, they are a very fit side, and that could be the difference for them this season

[thefletch24]

No way will the actual Echt Players, IMO, would want to stay in the Premier, they will want to rise to the Challenge of taking them back up, they will not want the stigma of folk saying "oh they stayed up just because they are Echt".........Just my opinion anyway.

 

Fitness is a big part of the game and with a young side they will probably be able to railroad the unfitter teams in Div 2 in the closing stages but as Roberto rightly says, its ok being decent and fit but you need to have the mentality to handle physical teams, Division 2/3 you can play against a fantastic passing side one week, a rugby team the next, you need to always have a plan b, passing or running the opposition to death wont win you games. That said, they will be up there in their league however looking at their League I think any of the teams could easily challenge for Promotion, will be that tight.

Correct - its been discussed already between the players - however, we have been told it will not be happening and that it will be 1st division next season with any premier spaces being filled by 1st division teams from last season.

 

To be fair, it should be like that anyway.
