East Fife got back to winning ways on Saturday thanks to an 89th minute winner against Forfar at Bayview.

There’s still a lot to be decided in the division as we enter the final quarter of the campaign, and who knows how it will all play out.

Michael, Lee, and Doug are back to delve into all of that and more.

Episode 102 - Glory Days of Gold (No Patty, No Party with special guest Pat Slattery)

Welcome to the latest episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents.

It wasn’t a great weekend for East Fife, going down to a two goal defeat at Stranraer in a pretty poor performance and dropping three positions in the table. We didn’t want to bore you by picking over the bones of the game, so it’s time for another one of our special interview episodes.

Pat Slattery was missing from the black and gold’s line-up at the weekend and his presence was sorely missed, but fret not Fife fans because we have a 90 minute dose of Pat for you in this episode.

We sit down with the East Fife stalwart to chat about his career so far, his time at East Fife, this season’s tough times, the future, and a lot more in one of the most enjoyable interviews we’ve done so far.

Plus we bring you the brand new single from local band, and East Fife fans, Got Got Need, and it’s an absolute belter.

Michael, Lee, and Gordon are back and so might East Fife be in the battle for the Scottish League 2 playoffs. Back to back wins and clean sheets, and seven points from nine, have seen the Bayview boys move back into the top four. Is this how they’ll be contesting the rest of the season? Can they finally stop looking over their shoulder the trap door into the pyramid?

We look at all of that, the club’s 2-0 win over league leaders Dumbarton, and a lot more. Plus we chat with Pat Slattery about some of his East Fife teammates over the years.

Episode 100 - Glory Days of Gold (Centurions with guests Kenny Deuchar and Eugene Clarke)

Welcome to the landmark 100th episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents.

Michael, Lee, and Gordon are back to celebrate the fun that’s been the past 33 months and 100 episodes. What started during the lockdown era in May 2020 has grown into a must listen for East Fife fans the world over, looking at the past, present, and future.

The guys are joined by a couple of special guests for this special episode and first up is the Bayview legend that is Kenny Deuchar (26.10). Making his sixth appearance on the show (four of those having been as co-host), the good doctor takes questions from listeners about his time at East Fife, his career, and more, including a fantastic story about meeting Jeff Stelling.

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. It’s been tried before to no avail, but this time around it’s looking a lot more positive and there’s some government backing to the plan as well.

All of this and there’s still time to delve into East Fife getting back to winning ways, with a hugely important 1-0 win at Albion Rovers (115.26).

The Fab Four are back together as Michael, Lee, Doug, and Gordon pick over the bones of the recent developments down Bayview way. There's been some terrible performances, disappointing results, and a slide down the table. Has the recent draw with Stirling steadied the ship?

We dig into all of that, the still pressing need to strengthen the team with time running out, and look at the latest plans to buy the club and have it as a community one.

Episode 98 - Glory Days of Gold (Home Is Where The Heartbreak Is)

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.

How desperately are the club needing an experienced defender and a goalscorer in the upcoming transfer window?
