East Fife Challenge Cup

Yes Jardi ex - Queens men Slattery and Smith (with a cracking goal) certainly made Albertz's prediction look rather stupid !

Sort of got egg on my face there.

[ALBERTZ_11]

Nice one.

Wasn't it just!

hay guys we all know and seen this scenario for decades now ,ex queens players have a habbit of coming back and haunting us ,there ex queens players for a reason ,in my opinion we should move forwards not go back the way taking players back that we released ,queens are in the championship ,we shouldnt be looking at players from lower leagues unless thay are proving to be something real special .

Like Mercer who moved from the Fifers to the Doonhamers...

albertz by all accounts mercer was showing some real potential when at east fife ,and did merit a move to a higher level ,he isnt all that bad ,id grade him prob a run of the mill championship full back he has prob currently found his level .

what we need to be doing is always on the lookout to upgrade personel at the club ,always striving to improve .

Totally agree Francis and Pat Slattery fits that bill entirely!

We aint going to get people like Dobbie signing for us who are clearly better than Championship players, so we need to be realistic.

Given that East Fife look as though they will be in the Championship next season, - it would make sense to take one of their best players in the January window, - like Rangers and Celtic do with upcoming talent.
