i also only asked about hill celtic not in any way star

never asked you to sign with anyone other than star

i hear that pike have quite a big squad again this year, its quite suprising how the manager can keep the whole squad happy with having a number like 22 players on the squad. im sure there are many people out there that dont want to be in his position.........

It hasnt got anything to do with it, it was just a general comment that i made. Just saying the new season will be quite an interesting one with all the new players coming in to the different teams so it will be hard to keep everyone happy, new players and old players alike.........

What does everyone else think of that?

**see's it** · 12/08/2008, 2:29 PM

i think you need to go to the premier thread

He's no longer with them, he jumped ship along with a few others!!!!

Hill Celtic are struggling big time (according to one of their players), they have 8 or 9 signed and only 3 or 4 are any way good enough for Div 1A.

All of last season's squad have re-signed again this season (with the exception of Pa Barry) and we have added 3 or 4 new young faces (no household names really) and we have also added one or two experienced players, so all in all, not too bad.

There's a squad of about 18-20 decent players, plus we'll have the use of the B players this season too (which we hadn't got for most of last season).

What about yourselves???

Think most of last years lads have signed,i'm not aware of anyone leaving anyways,signed a couple of good young lads 2 that should make us stronger than last year,onlyplace we are short is in goals and hopefully that will be sorted for the start of the season.
It will depend on the start we get though,our first 3 games are tough but if we got through them i could see us having a good season,if not who knows!!

Is the patsy collopy on this weekend?

Just been told this evening at training that the Patsy Collopy tournament is Off this year due to Johnny Collopy (Patsy's brother) being very ill in England.

Its only a matter of time before players will leave, as there is no way any manager can keep 20-22 good players all happy.

I predict at least 3/4 of the new squad will look for pastures new before the end of the transfer window, but even at that Pike will still have a very strong squad of 18 or so quality players and IMO it will be between themselves and Fairview for this season's Premier league.

Ye will find it hard to replace the sive now to be honest...Its a pity he has girls hands or ye might have gotten another season out of him!!

I don't know too much about the Fairview squad, but the squad of players training with Pike at the moment is top class. I would say without doubt they will win several trophies this season.
