Glory Days Of Gold

Episode 136 – Glory Days of Gold (72 Seconds Of Joy)

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the (sometimes sporadic!) East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents.

Shows in back-to-back weeks. We're spoiling you! All helped of course by the black and gold table toppers of East Fife. Another couple of important wins saw the men from Methil open up a five point lead at the top of Scottish League 2. We look back at the 4-2 midweek win at Edinburgh City and the 3-0 home win against Clyde at the weekend and ponder what's behind the stark differences in first and second half performances, can Alan Trouten have his best season of his long career, and the importance of Jess Norey and Andy Munro, among many other topics.

Michael, Doug, and Andrew are back to chat about all of that, and they're joined by a new voice making his podcast debut, Andrew Doig.

Episode 135 – Glory Days of Gold (Starting The Year As We Mean To Go On)

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents.

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!

Episode 134 – Glory Days of Gold (Sliding Doors)

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!

Episode 133 - Glory Days of Gold (Do You Think You Can Get Away With It Just Because You're A Pirie?)

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.

Episode 132 - Glory Days of Gold (Peterhead, Posts, and Pirie Pirie Sauce)

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.

Episode 131 – Glory Days of Gold (Rolling With It)

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.

Episode 130 - Glory Days of Gold (Slow and Steady)

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.

Episode 129 - Glory Days of Gold (Back With A Bang)

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?

Episode 128 - Glory Days of Gold (Another Season and Sweet F.A.)

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.

Episode 127 - Glory Days Of Gold (Running Out Of Games?)

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?
