In all seriousness I have no idea why anyone would chuck money into Gartcairn. I think they've just sort of gotten on with it rather than court the media for attention so they won't be on your average fan's radar like Darvel and JB.

Two guys chewing the breeze

Sounds like you're having a pop at a progressive and ambitious club who are just trying to do their best there or are Gartcairn now part of the Junior Illuminati as well?

It's not much of an accusation unless you're implying that they are somehow manipulating the draw to ensure big teams get to the business end

If you listen hard enough you can hear Bestsinceslicebread screaming homophobic insults while tied up in the boot.

If you're allowing the content of this shit show of a thread to influence your opinion then it doesn't say much for your capability of critical thought.

How do you feel about birthday cakes for dugs?

Let me guess... Jimmy Catskie and Davie Mewper.

900 for the Darvel end? Not bad if true. I know (think) Talbot ended up with 600 full price and 300 concessions. No idea how they're selling.

The forecast is hellish. Can Darvel use the hundreds of unsold home end tickets to soak up some of the moisture?

A mouthwatering "Junior Takeover" this weekend with all eyes on the semi finals of the only cup that counts. No matter what the score is Junior Football is sure to be the only show in town!

It sounds like ifs buts and mibbies are doing a lot of heavy lifting here but cheers for a normal reply. I think the guy should be chased if half the conjecture posted on this thread about him is true. We're only talking one guy here though so how much influence does he actually have? I have no clue how the power structure is set up but have presumed up to now that he's one blazer among many and probably something of an outlier in the grand scheme of things.

I think you've just wore me down. I also think you're a complete fantasist.

Sorry for failing to live up to your expectations.

Show your workings then. Mon.

A lot of words wasted (some were even in English) if you don't care what I think. The loonball protesteth too much.

I didn't want to say that originally as I'd be accused of being an appologist for him but you have to consider that was a possibility.

A Facebook post isn't exactly the smoking gun I was anticipating but its something I suppose. It's hardly a manifesto for change is it? An explanation of how this amounts to Junior Takeover or any of the other pearl clutching shite that has been mooted on this thread would be great.

Was that one of the quotes that we were expected to take the word of the sliced bread loonball about? I'm not saying he didn't say it but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a higher standard of verification than that and maybe even a wee bit of context. You prefer to obfuscate though so we're unlikely to get anywhere with that. Whether Talbot proposed it or not doesn't really make a difference to my opinion and I'm certainly not included in any of the decisions or juicy bits of information. My opinion is my own and is open to change based on new information or compelling arguments. That is why it's not moved an inch when talking to yourself.

Realistically you're probably correct.

If course it's not but the thread started off on a hysterical footing ("Junior Takeover" no less) and only got more absurd as it went on. I'd be genuinely interested in facts but what we've had is a slew of made up quotes, fevered paranoid ramblings, and vague innuendo, all delivered with a liberal seasoning of petted lips and red dots. There's no point in trying to have a good faith discussion when that's what you're faced with. I'm very much pro-pyramid but what this place has is a zealot fringe who just stamp their wee feet whenever there's any sort of deviation from their agenda. It's a debate that has long since died on its arse due to folk losing perspective of balance and reality due to their increasingly entrenched positions.

Remember that you're dealing with the guy who was crying foul because Talbot had the audacity to use fairly won prize money to sign players earlier in the thread. Some other nuggets of hysteria on the thread include a shadowy Putin-esque junior takeover of the pyramid and compulsory participation in the Junior Cup. All completely grounded in reality and in no way batshit mental.

I'm more interested in why a complete pie in the sky notion like this is actually being discussed on n the first place when it's never ever going to happen. It's becoming harder to distinguish the tongue in cheek from the downright hysterical on this topic.

Not going to lie, if entering the junior cup was made mandatory it would be funny as f**k purely for the tantrums on here. Not prayer of it actually happening and neither should there be.
