    Lies.

    what a slavering mess of a post you've made there. Dinosaurs like you can stay in your pub leagues and let the rest of us get on with progression and ambition.

    So you 'think' there are spaces for new senior teams while the likes of Pollok have a bigger home support than most in the bottom two divisions?

    Jexit will obviously happen, as in the Juniors leaving the current set up but for what?

    A chance to be promoted into the Lowland League that has clubs younger than your match day mascots who have a zero fan base, more traveling, more costs in traveling,  less 'local' derby's.

    YES there is that carrot of the 'BIG' Scottish Cup and the chance of entering the bottom tier of the SPFL which is dying on its arse and will mean you have to have floodlights, emergency services, raise your prices, etc.

    I follow Junior football because I love it, name another grade where your team can win a cup but you know you will hold it that night?

    Name a grade where you know every player by first and nicknames and can share a bear with them after.

    The list is endless, my huge worry is that some will go and others will be left behind hence IMO if one goes we all go if not we stay as we are and look at the possibilities.

    I love junior football and must state that while many make comments about this and that that member clubs vote in the West committee and clubs vote in their representative's so if your a member and not happy do something rather than sit on here and moan.

    Good listen guys but all this Blantyre are best team everyone has seen is quite amusing , we have played and beat them twice at Blantyre this season 

    I personally think that the best team I have seen this season are Blantyre Vic's football wise. Young squad, want to play football, brilliant but inconsistent as you always get with young players. Darvel are the team to beat because they have the best players, the best set up and a very professional approach.

    I have praised, as has Davie, Darvel on countless occasions on the show because of what they have done on and off the park, off the park is a thing of beauty and more power to you and them.

    Whatever happens regards Jexit you will finish in a promotion place without a doubt. Cracking gaffer and a squad filled with quality that can play silky football or roll up their sleeves and play fitbaw and grind out results.

    I wish you well going forward and love the fact youve put something into a club that obviously means a lot to you and I seriously hope everything goes to plan as so far results on and off the park are very impressive.

    Only issue I have is you always go on the defensive, take the credit, take the knocks, Blantyre Vics are a better football team to watch but you will finish above them and I wish you well.

    Its Thursday nights in Barrhead if and when you fancy coming along as a guest where you will be given a platform and made very welcome.

    Remember to ask Andy the topical question of the moment in junior football. With Blantyre on the verge of promotion to the Premiership, will there be a Premiership for them to go into ?

    Good shout, in all honestly over the last few season you lot were the best team but fell away end of season until last year. Cumbernauld were the best team I saw last two seasons in our league but.... Blantyre Vics are by far the best I have seen in our league this season.

    I agree those 2 lads were always going to be good players . Why they were let go by the then manager just shows how shortsighted he was.  He brought in players who did not match the quality he let go. He was not the start of our problems but added to them significantly.  

    Once i agree about the turnover of managers.  I for one am not concerned about the amount of managers we have had but i am worried that we haven't found anyone up to this point who has been good enough. The other worry i have is that some of the committee who chose these guys are still doing the choosing. By all accounts it sounds as if they may have got this right at last but the proof will be in the pudding. 

    My opinion is based purely on other junior supporters comments about him.  I try not to listen to people with an obviously massive chip on their shoulder about anything Arthurlie. 

    Sorry for dragging this back up but I didn't see this earlier. I was shocked when the manager in question was appointed full time after three wins as a caretaker the reason being continuity with the players etc. Come the summer he punted everyone and brought in a completely new squad which IMO no matter what level you are at football or money wise takes time to gel but gel it did.....nt.

    Think we all got a bit carried away with ourselves with the name calling and stuff.  It took the Kilmarnock/Arthurlie fan to pint out we are just supporting our team....or teams in most of you boys cases. Anyway I'll leave you with this as a short snippet into the workings of you big boys who belong in the big league etc etc blah blah

    4 years ago Neilston paid money for 2 players from Arthurlie,small fee's,but money none the less. The 2 players came through your academy but your manager at the time ,who I know for a fact was backed better than any manager before him in recent years,wanted the cash from these 2 transfers and was given the green light by those above. Those 2 players have went on to be pivotal in everything Neilston are doing at the moment. Best bit is you had one of them on trial at the beginning of this season but for whatever reason he ended up back in the sunshine up yon hill

    fast forward to 2/3managers for yourselves later and at the beginning of this season you signed 3 players who were released by Neilston (never heard of in all my years following Neilston) 1 of whom is back with us,1of whom has chucked it altogether and 1of whom I believe is still with you but isn't getting a game?

    what I am getting at is your club has been in a steady decline for the past 10 years,support is dwindling week in week out,depending on where your other teams are playing and changing manager after manager is not working,that is obvious for all to see. So you can come on here with your insults and your shitty comments to me and anyone else that has an opinion. That is all

    I absolutely love going up the hill, got so many good friends and have so much respect for everything thats happening on and off the park with all the academy sides doing so well.

    For me, as an Arthurlie fan, the big difference for me is that if you walk through both towns an hour after a home game and ask say ten people if they know the score, eight? of ten in Neilston would know or point you in the direction of someone who does while in Barrhead youd be lucky if you found one. Its a comunnity thing and pulling together for the better of the club.

    For me while everyone, and rightly so, raves about Talbot and how they run themselves with different committees for different goals, but for me Neilston is a fantastic example in that the wee, well behaved I must say, 'neds' in the shed those years ago are now the committee bar a couple of long timers. Everyone up the hill does it for the love of the club and, although I dont know of any but, if there are any fall outs they are put to one side as its all about the club.

    You dont have to like someone to work with them as long as the aim is the same.

    Blantyre away now, I wasn’t at the recent game with them, but I heard they were very impressive.

    Iain, I would say they are the best side we have faced this season, great pace and movement, a joy to watch..... through your fingers.

    A fountain of knowledge, a great dry sense of humor, a true junior legend but much more than that, just an absolutely fantastic human being. Thoughts with Hugh's which obviously included all at Neilston as the club was his family. family
