24th November Jose Signs! |
 John
Coughlin has added to his Warriors squad with the signing of exciting winger
Jose Quitongo! Jose has been training with Airdrie recently and will go
straight into the squad for today's game against Forfar.
Jose, pictured left after scoring a late and dramatic equaliser for Hearts
against Celtic back in 1998 actually began his career at Benfica but moved to
Darlington before making an appearance. He only made one appearance for the
Quakers before moving on again to Hamilton and then on to Hearts where he
regularly came off the subs bench as an impact player. He then returned to
Hamilton scoring on his debut in a 2-0 win at Berwick Rangers. Since then
he has played for a host of clubs in a long career including St Mirren,
Kilmarnock, Partick Thistle, Alloa, Dumbarton and Livingston. Jose was
born originally in Angola and hopes to bring some excitement and tricks to
Warriors games and add to his tally of 26 goals from 198 total appearances.

7th Nov Warriors Support
Children In Need! |
 In
conjunction with the BBC the club is delighted to raise some additional cash for
this year's Children in Need campaign. During this weekend every player who
plays for us from under 9's to the first team squad including the ladies team
will donate £1 to the fund. Everyone who scores will donate £2!!
The plan is that f every club across Scotland follows suit then we will have
raised a fair old sum. More than happy if every supporter also wants to donate a
£1 and maybe and extra £1 for every goal the first team score - your shout folks
but if you are up for it please assign a leader who will do the collecting.

7th Nov New third Strip
Chosen |
 Our third
choice strip has been selected and is now in production. We are left in no
doubt that the creative abilities of our fans are alive and well. We had a great
selection of designs to choose from – from the wild to the wacky and the comical
to the colourful. We also had a few excellent entries and to get to the decision
we decided to go to those who know – our supporters. We gave a number of them
free reign to choose from all of the designs, combined the votes and hey presto
– we have a winner. The good news is it is neither wild nor wacky but in fact is
an excellent design and we are delighted that our supporters have such excellent
taste!! Thanks for all who participated and we hope to have the strips ready for
Xmas! It was designed by 15-year-old Jonas Klint Westermann,
from Denmark. for more of Fanbanta's coverage of the Warriors go to their
website.

18th Oct Lennon and
Brown Join on Loan |
 New
manager John Coughlin has completed his first signings as he bids to get Stenny's
promotion bid on track. He has brought in young Hibs 'keeper Ally brown on
loan until January who is highly thought of at Easter Road.
Also here on loan is a player that Third Division fans should need no
introduction to. The club are pleased to confirm that John Coughlin has signed
Gordon Lennon on loan from Partick Thistle until the January transfer window.
Gordon is well known in the third division after his stand-out performances for
Albion Rovers and we tried unsuccessfully to sign Gordon in the close season. We
wish him well during his stay with us. Gordon made 68 appearances for
Albion scoring for them three times . . . and when Gordon scored they always
went on to win!
|
|
17th October
Signings Expected |
 John
Coughlin has settled into his desk as manager of the football club. he is

possibly two players hopefully joining within the next week. We'll keep
you up to date with any further developments.

12th October John
Coughlin! |
 The club is delighted
to announce the appointment of John Coughlin as our new manager. John met the
players last night (Thursday) along with his assistant manager Matt Kerr. John's
experience was the main factor in the decision and we were fortunate that he
became available just as we needed him. John also took the opportunity to meet
with Campbell to discuss in particular the liaison with the youth system and
both have clear mutual respect. We wish John and Matt the very best of luck at
the club and sure you will join us in giving them all the support they require.
As outlined in other communications the club went through a full process of
candidate selection and interview with 3 other candidates meeting the board.
Of those the two main contenders were Jim Sinnet and Jim Chapman, both of
whom were excellent candidates who conducted themselves well throughout the
process. We are sure both will find a role in senior football soon and
deservedly so.
|
|
11th October
Manager Search Continues |
 We
are homing in our manager now and we hope to make an announcement on Friday. We
have met 4 shortlisted candidates and we are now completing some of the finer
details. We will keep you informed.
|
|
11th October Neil
Wins The Big One! |
This week's penalty shoot out results are wins for
Jamie over a valiant Tom
and, in the big one, Neil done the job over his dad, big Jim. The tie of
the
round lived up to the billing and was settled by sudden death. For full
details of the competition see the penalty shootout
page.
|
|
2nd October
Manager Hunt Starts |
With
Campbell leaving the manager's chair we are now full swing into identifying a
suitable successor. Within the first 2 days we had 15 credible candidates. The
plan is to shortlist around 4 and have a discussion with each
of them before either making a decision or meeting again.
It is unlikely that we will have someone in place before Saturday - we are
looking for a long term manager and not a short term fix. There is plenty time
left this season and sufficient good players to mount a challenge - getting the
right man (or woman) is worth taking our time for.
We will keep all informed!

for David Scott over Mikey Symon and a win for Sean Martin over Kris Gray. Well
done to both. Next match is Tom Begg v Jamie Mathieson and the big one!!! Big

crossbar challenge!!

 Stevie
Ferguson has made excellent progress following his injury in the game at Forfar

the all clear and we hope to see him take his place in the side this Saturday.
