Dusty Rhodes Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 So with the new season only weeks away do any of the shetland teams have any signings on the cards? Have any teams got injury troubles? or is it just all the same as last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirsty Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I heard tonight that the Delts are looking at a new keeper that has been training with them. He an Orcadian who has recently moved to Mossbank. I hear he is very good. Seems strange he has signed for Delting as we have Shetlands best in Craig Dinwoodie. One of them will be unhappy!

nufsta Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Yea Unst do seem to be having a few worries this season with one or two first teamers moving away and being forced into early retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penfold Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Do you still think you'll still be able to field a team in the B cup? I see that Unst wanted to increase the number of cups in the B league to two instead of the one league cup last year. sounds ok Ness would be happy with that if the games could be played on Saturdays, our boys miss their games on Saturday nights with the demise of the Southern league.

Baxter Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 as far as i am aware unst are still planning on entering the B cups!The idea of playing 2 cups is simply to give more games to the fringe players who are not getting any football, and it was decided that it would be better (for unst to have 2 cups, as this would guarantee us 2 games, at least!

penfold Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 The bloomfield cup was played in a league format last year after the Reserve league finished mid august if I mind right, top two from each group went through to the semi's. Im all for more folk/teams in the set-up, just wondering what the fixtures would be like was all, fitting in another cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Parker Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Whitedale to potentially pick up two new siginings. One a regular First Teamer for the Delts last season (when not suspended) the other a regular when not down under Just a signature required for the first player - possibly the influence of his cousin and frustration with the current set-up with his hometown club has pushed this through?!?!? The second player depends on whether or not they return to the Rock or seek employment elsewhere. Oh and Martin Binns will NOT be joining the Tizers just yet. More News to come as it happens Folks............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penfold Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 there is nae doot a few movements taking place over the "closed" season might get to see these a bit earlier once the Association sort out a single winter league. The AGM of the Shetland Football Association will be on the 3rd of December this year so anyone who wants to put forward any rule changes, proposals for inclusion on the agenda or nominations for committee posts should have them in to the secretary by the 19th of November. Any team wishing to enter the Associations competitions should also submit a proposal for discussion at the AGM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hustak77 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Change the Fraser cup to when the county is being played like it used to be. So it eases fixture congestion and evens up the teams (kinda like a handicap in Golf). Just a thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 They did that with the Manson Cup in 1999 when the Shetland Team was away at the Island Games. There was complaints that not having the County players involved devalued one of Shetlands most prestigeous trophys so it was never repeated.

JohanofNess Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Apparently a billionaire from Abu Dhabi is going to buy up Ness United, he denies offering a 8 year 2million a year contract to Sol Campbell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy parks Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 once the Association sort out a single winter league. Is that going to happen. Will all the games be in Whalsay? Perhaps Penfold can enlighten us. Seem to remember they tried a winter league at Brae some years ago and it ended in a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
