Glory Days Of Gold

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. It's been a tough spell for East Fife as the injuries mounted up and the form dipped, but as some key performers return to the starting line-up the Methil Men snapped a six-game winless streak, coming away with a win over Elgin City in a top-of-the-table clash that saw them return to the summit of Scottish League 2. Michael, Gordon, Aaron, and Andrew are back to chat about it all - the past few weeks, Saturday's big win, the state of the league, what may lie in store, and more!

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents, although only one this episode! The podcast has been as sporadic as a good East Fife performance of late, but Doug, Gordon, Aaron, and Andrew are back with another episode to chat about the mighty Fife still being top of the league, but out of the cup.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents, although only one this episode! East Fife came away with a hugely important win over league leaders Peterhead on Saturday. A win that sees them move to within one point of top spot. Surely there's nothing going to stop their promotion push now?! Doug, Gordon, and Aaron are back to pick over the bones of that match, the team's recent form, the standout performances across the board, and look at the lie of the land in Scottish League 2. And the Pirie takeover of the show is now complete - theme song, sponsor read, and now hosting. What a family! Just make sure you listen right to the end of this one.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. East Fife have been flying the last two matches. Two victories, nine goals scored, no goals conceded from open play, and most importantly, playing as a team with everyone contributing. Michael, Gordon, Doug, and Aaron are back to look at the last two games and what it means for the season to come. Too early for the parade planning? Is a league and cup double on the cards? Are we an injury or two away from it being a whole different story? We delve into all of that, look at the excellent depth we've seen the past few games, the outstanding form of Fash, and a lot more. Plus there's still time to look ahead to Scotland kicking off the new Nations League campaign and we chat with Ryan Gauld about his first senior call-up to the national team.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. The new Scottish season is well and truly up and running and after perhaps getting a little bit carried away with not conceding a goal in preseason friendlies and the first three League Cup matches, conceding nine over two games against St Johnstone and Elgin brought everyone back down to earth with a bump! But it's good to temper expectations and it's been a slow and steady start to East Fife's league campaign. Nothing too fancy, nothing too exciting, but getting the results with three wins in eight days and sitting in a good position in the tabe a few games in with some key tests to come to end the month. Michael, Gordon, and Andrew are back to look at the season so far, the key performers for East Fife to date, and what help might be needed to take the next step we need to finally get back out of League 2. Plus we cast our eyes over the rest of the division and try and figure out who we should be keeping a careful eye on in what is shaping up to be a very tight season with a lot of parity amongst the top teams.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. East Fife are back with a bang and so is the podcast! Undefeated in preseason without giving up a goal and a 3-0 win over Championship side Morton in the League Cup, and fans are optimistically looking ahead to what may lie in store for the black and gold in the 2024/25 season. Michael, Lee, Gordon, and Aaron do just that to, look at Dick Campbell's offseason additions, and what we saw in that cup win at the weekend. Plus we look back at Scotland's woeful Euros and ask, what's next?

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. And, with a huge sigh of relief, it's our end of season show! East Fife stumbled their way through the 2023/24 campaign and it's now thankfully come to an end. It was a season of many lows and a few highs, but despite it all, there's a lot to look forward to for the new season to come. Lee, Doug, Gordon, and Andrew look back at the season that was, who they'd like to keep around, and look ahead to the more exciting times that will hopefully be coming in 2024/25.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. East Fife made it nine unbeaten under Dick Campbell at the weekend, denying Stenhousemuir the League Two title in the process. Lee, Doug, and Aaron are back to chat about life down Bayview way as East Fife's late playoff push continues. With four matches left are they going to run out of games or will the comeback reach a dramatic conclusion?

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. The Dick Train keeps pounding away as East Fife extended their unbeaten run to eight matches since the Campbells and Co took over the managerial hotseat. East Fife have gone from looking over their shoulder at the trap door to real playoff contenders. Will they run out of matches or does the already remarkable turnaround still have an even better ending ahead? Michael, Doug, Gordon, and Andrew are back to chat about life down Bayview way as they look at the stats behind the Dick Campbell era so far, the standout performers, the recent matches, what's been behind it all, and look ahead to remaining five matches around Scottish League 2.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. All aboard the Dick Campbell Express. Next stop - Playofftown? Well maybe we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves but in the month since our last episode, East Fife have gone unbeaten under new management and are pushing hard now for a top four finish, boosted greatly by a dramatic last-gasp win over Dumbarton. Lee, Gordon, and Andrew are back to chat about a fantastic month down Bayview way. Ah, it feels good to say those words again.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. What a week it's been since the last podcast! East Fife put in a poor performance in a 1-0 loss at Elgin City, a display that led to manager Greig McDonald walking away from the job after just over 15 months in charge. 24 hours later his replacement was announced - lower league managerial legend Dick Campbell. Campbell's appointment has filled the Fife fanbase with enthusiasm, excitement, and real hope for the future, buoyed by recent news that the proposed fan takeover of the club has taken a major step forward. Is this the turning point in the club's long and illustrious history that we've waited for and feared may never come? However everything plays out, there's a definite feelgood factor today amongst the black and gold faithful. Michael, Lee, Gordon, and Andrew are back to chat about a dramatic few days down Bayview way.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents! East Fife's unbeaten start to the new year came to a crashing halt with an insipid 3-0 loss to Spartans on Tuesday night, leaving them hoping for a midtable finish at best with three months of the season still to play. Michael, Doug, Aaron, and Andrew are back to chat about the match and our thoughts on the current state of the club, and future strategies, as the next two years feel massive for the direction the club takes.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents! East Fife are unbeaten in 2024. Sure it's only one game, but they went on the road and got a big, and deserved, three points at Dumbarton. A fantastic victory, but one they need to build on next week against Clyde as they remain closer to the drop than the playoffs. Is it finally a turning point to the season or another false dawn? Michael, Lee, Doug, and Aaron are back to chat about the match, give our thoughts on Greig McDonald's interview in the last episode, and look at the need to now push on to stop looking over our shoulders at the relegation battle below us. Plus we hand out some awards and share some Bayview related memories from 2023.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents! It's our first show of 2024, so we needed to make it a special one and we have, as we bring you a 90-minute chat with East Fife manager Greig McDonald. We sit down with Greig to chat about the difficult first half of the season, discuss the current standing of the club, and look ahead to the future. Is he the right man to lead the club forward? Why can't we beat a playoff chasing team? Was the favourites tag unrealistic pressure? Why have the wheels come off? We chat about all of this and a lot more. Happy New Year!

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents! A winning run and East Fife have not been happy bedfellows this season. Every time you hope the team may have turned a corner, you find out they're still in a square. But are they starting to finally show signs of life and a turnaround in fortunes could be on the cards? Michael, Lee, and Doug are back to chat about the win over Elgin and the loss to Stenhousemuir. Are we only going to be able to beat teams around or below us and if so, how tough will it be to get fans through the turnstiles next year for a lower third side with little to really play for? Sitting 10 points off the playoffs with 21 games remaining, there's still a lot of time to turn that around, but can Greig McDonald do that and what help will he need in the January transfer window to make that happen? We chat about all of that and say a sad farewell to a couple of East Fife stalwarts who passed away since the last episode. Plus we look at Scotland's draw for next year's Euros in Germany.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents, and for this episode across three countries - Scotland, Spain, and Canada! Things are looking bleak down Bayview way. East Fife are languishing down the bottom of Scottish League 2, they're out of all the cups, the players look clueless and out of ideas at times in matches, a growing section of supporters want manager Greig McDonald out, and the Board are being questioned by the fanbase about how the club is being run in all aspects off the pitch. Was the weekend win over Clyde going to be a false dawn that just papered over the cracks or that much awaited turning point to the season? A midweek loss at Bonnyrigg Rose maybe gave us that answer. Things are dire, enthusiasm is waning, and there are major concerns about the direction the club is heading. Things need to change and they need to change fast. Is a new manager the answer? New players, new tactics, new blood in the boardroom? Is the attempted fan over by the East Fife Supporters Society going to help or hamper any turnaround? Where is the development pathway for our young talent to come through? Michael, Doug, Gordon, and Aaron are back to chat about all of that and more in the latest episode, and there's a LOT to talk about and get off our chests.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. From the high of last week's big victory to the depths of despair at an embarrassing Scottish Cup defeat to a non-league side in one of the worst results in the club's 120 year history. Who'd be an East Fife fan? How bad was it? How bad are things in general? Can Greig McDonald turn things around or does there need to be a change at the top and maybe even more than that? The guys discuss this and more in the latest episode, and we're joined by Ian Lowson to pay tribute to lifetime East Fife fan Rab Waddell who passed away last week and bring us the latest news on the East Fife Supporters' Society's attempts to buy the club.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. East Fife bagged a big 4-0 win over Stranraer on Saturday. The sign of turning the corner or just a very poor visiting side. Probably a bit from Column A and a bit from Column B, but Connor McManus was certainly blowing up a storm with his performance. There was a lot to be pleased about and with two cup ties against lower league opposition coming up, could the Fife be on the verge of going on something of run? The guys discuss this and more in the latest episode, and look around the rest of Scottish League 2.

Apologies that it's been a while, but we're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. Since the last episode East Fife have carved out a few draws in the league and been on a European adventure down to Oswestry to take on TNS in the SPFL Trust Trophy. Is this the turning point for the team's season? Is an uphill trajectory now on the cards? The signs are there, but they have to start really showing it, starting this weekend against Stranraer. Lee, Doug, Gordon, and Aaron chat about all of that and regale us with tales from their trip to see the champions of Wales. Plus it's full on celebratory mode as Scotland qualify for Euro 2024 in Germany.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. Since the last episode East Fife have won twice, once in the Challenge Cup and once in the league. Is this an unbeaten run? Or more importantly, is this the turning point in the season after a poor start that has seen the club hit bottom of the division? The guys chat about those wins against Albion Rovers and Clyde and the main talking points coming out of them, the importance of those victories, and keeping that momentum going now. Plus there's much excitement for the Fife's foray into Europe next month and would Scotland have beaten England if Steve Clarke had called up Ryan Gauld?!
