I just dont know Viewparker. Were in unchartered waters now, never have the Jags been in such a state. Always in the past when playing St Rochs victory was expected. Weve had ups and downs like every other club but over the course of 140 years have contributed a lot to the junior game. Nothing compares to this. We lost a whole squad-why? What was the plan? What assurances were given on either side? What is the plan now? Suffer?

Its a nightmare. The club unparalled in the Junior game for producing great players and all the other achievements in a 140 year history is in a crisis

Results indicate that, but no blame attaches to the youngsters literally thrown into the deep end.

Of course its a bad thing, how could it not be? How would we get back? How can these youngsters cope with this? So unfair to them, best wishes to Sinky, but hes history now and our own- glorious - history is of no benefit to us just now. Just now we are in a crisis the like of which we have never seen before. More league goals lost before the end of August than we have sometimes lost in a whole season. Record league defeat at St Rochs, of all places- a team , I think, who have beaten us 3 times in 60 years including yesterday, whilst we must have at least 20 victories over them in that time. Crisis needs action before things worsen, I never thought we would EVER become a laughing stock and whipping boys. ( no criticism of the youngsters )

Totally correct. This situation needs arresting now, not weeks or months away.

I dont think Garrellburn meant to be patronising, its true things can change - with action to make them change

Larkhall Thistles long and illustrious history far exceeds anything achieved by a nouveau team like Kelty. It seems you know very little about the Junior game. Lots of clubs have ups and downs but have history, class , reputation and staying power. In our case, we; are the oldest team in Scotland have put more players senior than any other club in Scotland have produced more Scottish internationals than any other club in Scotland have produced international players for the USA, England, Ireland and Australia also have 50+ trophy wins including 2 Scottish Cups, plus 70 odd runner-up places are the only team to have hosted a Junior Cup final. Remind me, who are /were Kelty Hearts again? Very disrectspectful to the Albert too, who have a history Kelty could only dream of, and who have spawned imitations in other leagues.

Royal Albert were winning trophies as Seniors long before St Rochs existed, Glasgow Celtic couldnt defeat them in the Scottish Cup at Larkhall

What mis-placed arrogance.
