He’s on a development loan at Kelty and got a couple of goals for them at league 1 level.

 League title was later stripped from them,cant remember why.Fielding an ineligible player,or betting before a game? 

Fascinating story actually.  There are a couple of videos online about it.  I think there were a couple of players that would have been banned from their last Highland League game that season had it been played as originally scheduled for the Saturday.  They brought the game forward a few days so those players could play and after a lot of debate the league that year was voided.  Awfully controversial at the time.

Think it cost Elgin a shot at league position at the time that went to County.

It's why we should never trust anyone from Elgin.

U18s progressed in Scottish Youth cup winning 12-1 against Dunbar United last night. 

So is Findlay Marshall any good? Six goals and an assist season to date for arbroath. Player of the month for the championship. What type of midfielder, #10??

Impressed me when I have seen him on loan at both Edinburgh City and Cove previously. Played central midfield at both. At City they rated him as best midfielder in league 1 that season.

Strange one this Jute.

Under contract until the summer with us but I am sure earlier this year he had been told he was free to leave us but then we put him out on loan to Arbroath instead. I can't claim to have actually seen him play so not sure if he has enough in him to step up to the level required 🤔

I was really surprised when club said he could leave in summer. Thelin then contradicted that when the club announced Marshall’s loan deal when he said club would be watching his progress at Arbroath with a view to getting him ready for the first team. 

Looks to me like a technically very good footballer who might struggle with the athleticism side of things. Similar to someone like Barron I think, but with more of a cutting edge. Think he'll struggle to get into our midfield, although I'd happily let Palaversa and Nilsen go and see how he gets on. If I was to put him in a bracket at an early stage, it would be lower premier, high end championship. Maybe the level of Anderson, or Low.

Development loan 🤔

2-2 at half time. Couple of blunders by Suman got Spartans back in the game. Gyamfi subbed off at half time.

3-2 Spartans now.

Make it 4-2 now 

Finished 4-2

God help us if Mitov gets injured.

Who would have thought that the keeper we signed from Cove would turn out to be shit.

New competition for Mitov required in January.

Actually finished 5-2 with Mark Stowe scoring a belter for Spartans at the end. 
 

Dons team were decent in first half playing nice football but once we conceded one just collapsed. Second half Spartans pressed us further up field which young team seemed to struggle with. Impressed with Dylan Ross, Alfie Stewart and Jack Searle for Dons. 
 

That’s me down to 7 league grounds left to see Dons play at.

Meant to say Suman did make some decent saves in second half and was good when I saw him play at Cove so maybe not as bad as he looked in first half tonight.

Too early to say on the latter imo and I suspect he was probably only meant to play 45 mins after playing 45 2 days ago.  I think Gyamfi has potential 2bh but time will tell, he's defo not fully match fit yet.
