I was thinking about East Fife and one of their ex players appeared on my couch.
July 11, 2008
Anyway the stranger on the couch wasn’t really a stranger. Paul Taylor and I were married to sisters. The third sister was married also, and still is to our good friend Jazz. One out of three is bad I suppose.
Paul played for East Fife but gave up SFL football when he opened a sandwich bar at Cannonmills next to the then newly opened Standard Life building. Getting up at 4.30 and playing senior football didn’t mix so decide to concentrate on his job.
Are you reading this Electric?
It didn’t stop him playing junior football and Paul ended up playing more games for Whitburn than any other player in the club’s history. He’s now a very mature Edinburgh University law student with a year to go.
His also says his boots are polished and he’s looking to kick the ball Sammy.
East Fife tomorrow and a very hard game for us. They’ll be bigger, stronger and more physical than the Falkirk boys and I’m sure well know we’ve been in game by 4.00. Mark Lunn who has recently been released by Livie will be in goal for us and with Jono away and Dan in the Park, Stewart will step into central defence. That leaves an opening for Deano to play at left back letting Donal move further up the field.
It’ll be a big test for the two youngsters.
Finally Ral was on earlier talking about last night. He told me Yogi and Brian Rice were very impressed by our performance and I take that as a big compliment. These games are only pre-season friendlies but as well as fitness players must strive to always take something from playing against senior oppositon whatever the score.
I hope our boys learn a bit more about themselves and playing football tomorrow.
