    We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast. The emotional rollercoaster that is supporting East Fife FC took another twist at the weekend. Heading to Peterhead with the Scottish League 2 title in our own hands, it was all thrown away with a lacklustre performance that both angered and dismayed the Fife faithful in equal measure. Doug, Gordon, Aaron, and Andrew are back to look what went wrong on Saturday in that 1-0 loss and what hope there is for the playoffs to come.

    We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast. After a horrible set of results this year made it feel that East Fife were throwing the Scottish League 2 title away, a weekend of perfect results now have the black and gold controlling their own destiny with two games to go. East Fife's win over Stirling Albion and Peterhead's capitulation at Elgin leaves the Methil men knowing that two wins to end the season and they will be crowned champions. Doug, Gordon, Aaron, and Andrew are back to look at the rollercoaster ride that's been the last three weeks of matches, look ahead to Saturday's massive and potentially title-deciding game at Peterhead, and chat about the club's Chairman and Vice-Chairman both stepping down.

    We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents! We've seen it all from East Fife in their last two matches. The good, the bad, and the ugly all played out over 180 minutes of football. A heavy 5-2 loss at Edinburgh last weekend was certainly the ugly side of the team's season, sucking the hope out of fans and leaving us wondering whether we were even going to get promoted, never mind lifting the Scottish League 2 championship. We needed to see a response this past weekend against The Spartans, but by half time, another bad display that saw them trail by two seemed to have the wheels not so much fallen off, but melted down and thrown away. Then came the good. The very good. Almost the sublime, as East Fife put in a second half for the ages, playing free-flowing silky soccer, scoring four goals, and coming away with a 4-2 victory and a massive three points. Michael, Doug, Gordon, and Andrew are back to try and make sense about the last fortnight of action and what lies ahead down the stretch. Just what East Fife from the last two weeks are we going to see in the next five? Has the ship been steadied? If they play like they did in the second half against Spartans, can anyone stop them?

That certainly seems to be the mood amongst the East Fife faithful at the moment. A poor run of results and some horrible performances was capped off by a horrorshow of a 3-0 loss at home to Stranraer on Saturday. Doug, Gordon, Aaron, and Andrew are back to chat about the current plight down Bayview way. Is all the good work getting undone? Surely the team aren't going to throw it all away at this late stage.

There's a lot to pack into our first podcast of 2025, as East Fife hopefully have started the new year the way they mean to go on - with a victory and top of the league! We look back at the black and gold year that was 2024. There were certainly some highs, some lows, but mostly a lot of in-between, but we saw a change of manager, pursuit of a sale of the club off the pitch, some great goals and goalscorers on it, and a much more feelgood factor down Bayview way in general. Michael, Doug, Aaron, and Andrew are back to chat about all of that, plus look at the last three matches, including the weekend win over Forfar, look ahead to Wednesday's big game in the capital, ponder the wasted opportunity and money of no games during the festive period, make some bold predictions for the coming year, and more!

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.

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?

We're also joined by Eugene Clarke (77.42) to talk about the latest attempt to buy out the majority shareholder of East Fife and have the club community owned.

    Welcome to Episode 98 of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents. Well the feelgood factor didn't last long down Bayview way as the first month of 2023 isn't even done and dusted and Fife fans are very unhappy with what is happening with their team. Sitting three points of third, but just six off bottom, the season could still go either way for midtable East Fife with 15 games to go, yet the overriding feelings amongst the Bayview faithful are anger, worry, and disappointment. How will the season play out? Should we be worried about our future? What is behind the terrible home form? Is Greig McDonald the man to get the team out of the current rut of just one win in nine and if he is, how is he going to do it? Lee and Michael delve into all of that and more in an unscripted and unplanned episode where they're just telling it like it is and shooting from the hip and speaking from the heart.
