  • Welcome to Episode 88 of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents.It's hard to glean too much from the start of any new season, as teams struggle to find their feet, their chemistry, and their identities. Six games into the new Scottish League 2 campaign though and East Fife sit third, eight points back of early runaway leaders and six ahead of last placed Forfar. I think most East Fife fans would have bitten your hand of for that in July.What can we learn from these last few weeks from a black and gold perspective? Well, they're a young and inexperienced team, but one with a fighting spirit and an early knack for earning some crucial late points. Enough to be playoff contenders? Are there concerns there wasn't more additions before the transfer window closed? Is the positional bunching up going to be the story of the season from 2nd to 10th?Michael, Lee, Doug, and Gordon delve into the main talking points coming out of it of the last few matches and look at the lie of the land down Bayview way and around the division in this early going.

  • Welcome to Episode 84 of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents.The new Scottish league season kicked off at the weekend and East Fife got off to a winning start with a 3-1 win at Elgin that sees them at the top of Scottish League 2 one game in. We shouldn't get carried away. But we will of course because we're football fans!Lee, Doug, and Gordon delve into the match, how the team is looking early doors, and what can we expect when they go up against a much tougher task against Bonnyrigg next week?

  • Welcome to Episode 74 of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents.The unbeaten streak is over. East Fife fell to a 3-1 loss to Falkirk on Saturday but the Fife faithful left with their heads held high and proud of the lads after a fighting performance that deserved more than leaving empty handed.Michael, Doug, and Gordon are back to chat about the good, the bad, and the ugly talking points coming out of the game and where that leaves East Fife now in their quest for survival.Can the team get more wins in the final quarter of the season than they have in the first three? Should there be any additions before the loan transfer window closes? Is Ryan Wallace back to his best? All of this plus we talk football chants and cruffins.

  • Welcome to Episode 69 of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. Nice!Michael, Lee, and Doug are back and trying to stay upbeat after a demoralising defeat for East Fife at Dumbarton on Saturday.In what was the biggest game of the season so far, East Fife headed west and had to come away with something to keep their hopes of avoiding relegation alive. They failed and the season is all but over bar the shouting, or based on some of the more recent performances, screams of pain.The guys look back over the game and question just what is next? Do the club take a look at the young ones now for the rest of the season? Is there any point of bringing in players now when we have more chance to take stock over the summer? And what League Two stadiums is everyone most looking forward to visiting?All this and more in this episode!

  • Welcome to Episode 67 of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents.Michael, Lee, and Doug are back with their last episode of 2021 and the year ended in as disappointing a manner as you'd expect with how the last 12 months have played out down Bayview way.A depleted injury and Covid ravaged East Fife side headed north on Boxing Day and put in a battling performance but fell to a 4-2 defeat to league leaders Cove Rangers. You couldn't fault the performance from the team and their fighting spirit but it was always going to be a tall order to get anything from the game, even with a full squad at their disposal.We look at the highs and the lows from the loss, but should the game have even gone ahead to begin with? And with teams throughout the SPFL being hit hard with Covid, is it time to draw up new rules for what happens when clubs have an outbreak and games are in doubt?Looking ahead to 2022, can East Fife avoid the drop? It's seeming more and more likely that they're in a two horse race with Dumbarton to avoid automatic relegation and that a playoff spot may be the best they can now salvage. But stringing a winning run together could change that outlook. How possible is that and what does Stevie Crawford need to do and who does he need to bring in to make that even a possibility?We look at all of that and a lot more, including delving into a bulging mailbag.
