Beith v Rangers

[songsofglory]

Anyone remember the background for this match? Was this our first friendly match after Admin? Vaguely remember them advertising it as Beith v (The New) Rangers FC. Anyone have the match details?

 

[Amstel]

It sure about that one particularly but iirc friendlys against Arniston Rangers and a few others that were cancelled at short notice before season started. Maybe because we had no license to play?

I'm sure we were due to be playing Southampton too.

Very limited information, looks like we won 3-0 but no idea of the teams or anything.

New Rangers?

Odd at best.

I’d have thought they would have been Rangers friendly?

Beith will be, but I think at the time people were still confused as to what was actually going on. I remember bookies windows having different names etc.

 

[Masonic Penny]

I was at that game. My only memory is Ally getting a great reception and the huge slope on the pitch.

I see things like this and still can't believe what happened to us!

Anyway, what's the reason for being interested in this specific game?

Ally cops a lot a flak and rightly so but I don’t agree with the ‘should’ve played the youth teams’ consensus because the players were absolutely mince clearly

 

[Arkanoid]

I remember we were meant to be having an away friendly Vs Le Have to open their new stadium IIRC also, was close to booking ferry and hotels the lot

The boys we had we would have seen us still been in the championship.

We did have a chance to bed some cracking players but it was a huge opportunity missed.

 

[CoopersLeftPaw]

I was at this as my mate played with beith at the time.

Kal Naismith being the stand out for us from what I remember

 

[.k.k.]

Won 3-0 , Gallagher scored 2 and wilson with the other.

Who did we not play that was or has turned out to be a cracking player?

There’s actually been a few who you have to wonder why they didn’t get game time. No superstars or anything but a few who have done decent.

Was bored at work and looking through football stuff when Beith popped up.

There’s certainly a few players who should’ve been given more of a chance

Cole had played in the Champions League so could have been worked on if he had the attitude.

Murdoch, Gasparatto and Naismith all carved out decent careers. We had enough in the youth but couldn’t play a full team of them.

A lot of Bears especially at Ibrox are all talk when it comes to playing youth players. All talking about playing the youth then soon as they misplace a pass fans are on their back.

 

[Davie Weir]

I

I do think we could’ve brought a few more through than we did but it would’ve only been a handful I think

The likes of Murdoch, Gasparatto, Naismith, Hemings, Callum Gallagher have all done well for themselves and probably could’ve been give more of a chance.

Also Liam Kelly and Craig Halkett have now done well.

Awful times nobody had a clue what was really happening

 

[Hap Hapablap]

John Sheridan fae Arden, Beith captain and massive Sellik man, leading out his team v Rangers is a genuine wtf moment.

Good guy is Sherry btw but really hammers home where we were at the time.
