Couldn't trust a word that comes out this mans mouth, leaving at the end of the season yet appointed as general secretary/treasurer for the new season....
Was caught out lying regarding the SJFA.

Im Hearing in dispute with benburb also re development fee for Declan Macdonald and still in dispute with sjfa

Players been told to bring own water for training , having to wash their own training gear , 12 players who won the double leaving a club is unheard off , the club is a shambles and with that squad it’s Bottom 6 this season and no doubt the new manager will be the whipping boy , he has got some job ahead of him working with this regime

Central defenders all over west of Scotland will sleep easier from now on in ,
g retires and quite simply the best centre forward I’ve seen in the junior game over the last 15 years , what a player

A very competitive league this season with big squad turnover for some teams.
For me this early burgh will be team to beat and st cadocs with divers will be dangerous , the rest talbot should improve on last season as a very young team , beith even although lost some top players strainie will have them very hard to beat , Cumnock have signed some good players and could surprise and gartcairn should be better , we won’t challenge with the squad we have or I will be surprised and let’s take time out for the bankies fans who will be middle of the table , one thing it will be easily is the 5th best league in Scotland , in fact I think best season will be most competitive since league was formed

Moore is a good enough centre forward but I still think there's lots of holes in his game.
He’s pacy and if ball is played in behind defences he causes problems , however if ball is played into him 9 times out of 10 he loses it and moves break down , very frustrating player to watch

Im hearing Darren miller who was a fans favourite doon the brae was promised a deal at the club for next season , he helped sign a couple of players for next season as they were pals of his and now he’s no getting a deal
what a way to treat people , and so It gos on

Jim do you actually read the rubbish you spout before you press the button. Or do you actually believe the crap. I’m not sure what is worse. I keep telling you, come and ask me anything and I’ll tell you. You don’t need to make it up to feel better.
Nothing about Ross Barbour signing back on. The best full back in the league according to some. Nothing about Scott Walker resigning which we all think is great.
Caldwell and bronsky went for more money elsewhere. Quite right. But wait did you not say Darvel were spending too much? Players quite rightly will look for the best jobs as you or I would but there’s a budget being stuck to now. Baird and sidey out of contract. Hutts was only on loan.Talbot and Darvel falling out over a small amount of money? Nope lies.
Darvel not paying semi final money? Nope more lies. We paid the 15% in the rules. It is currently with SFA arbitration who have said we have a good case and will hear it. If we win, we will get around £5k back for talbot, arthurlie, and JB. Doesn’t sound as if £5k windfall for talbot would be a fall out eh? In fact we are looking to build a closer relationship now.
If you would let the Sjfa bully your club instead of fighting for what you think was right then that’s why you don’t belong at the club.
You don’t need to feel sorry for Michael. He’s doing fine. Genuine supporters have already made him feel welcome.
No frank if I want to talk football I will do that with people who know the junior game but thanks for the offer ,
so to clarify I said winters was away ?
hardly any players staying ?
club is in dispute with sjfa ?
No seen it in clubs social media pages bronsky and Caldwell away ? Why not ?
and the rest to follow very soon
one thing I will say Barbour is a good full back , Scott Walker only a squad player

Hearing sjfa not paying the club prize money as they haven’t paid them the semi final gate , seemingly in dispute with talbot again over a small amount of money , what a surprise
that and hardly a player wanting to stay tells the full story of what’s going on doon the brae
the most successful season in the clubs history and it’s a shambles
I feel sorry for Michael Oliver taking this on

I’m hearing winters has resigned and an exodus of players leaving , could only happen to darvel after winning west and Scottish

I want to wish the PLAYERS all the best for todays cup final and hope they bring the famous trophy back to the town , the build up has been terrible in the town and that can only be because of the disgraceful sacking of the management team who got them there today , the treatment of the kit woman who they have seemingly barred from recreation park and the sacking of the media guy and the players not being allowed their kids to be mascots at todays game which resulted in the captain phoning the sjfa for clarification on how many mascots are teams allowed !
we will remember postie young , Bobbie Dempster , big Jim Graham , Bobby Graham , Tom Richmond , Allan hunter , John Somerville , my mum And dad who spent years at the club , no for ego but for the love of the club like committee men and women up and down the country do on a weekly basis , I hope if we lift the cup they are all watching , smiling with a dram in there hands .
to jimmy mclachlan who spent his full life helping and supporting the club until his health meant he no longer could , I hope ur watching jimmy
neil McPherson who kept the club going nearly single handledly for years
the 76 cup final team who have been shunned in the build up to this final for whatever reason but we will remember John Leckie , jimmy gilmour , tom Mcfarlane and big Alex Walker ,gone but not forgotten
And lastly our thoughts go out to Craig Bell , a darvel boy who passed away this week at no age of 52 , he lived in the town and played with the club for years , what a left peg and what a nice guy ,
let’s hope for all these guys we can beat arthurlie today and bring it home
come on the vale

And the facts are meant to be Gall and Frank hill aren’t going to be there next season which makes this circus all the more embarrasing , the town should be buzzing being in junior cup Final and it’s anything but , a complete shambles

Tried like mad to find the post to quote but fed up looking. He won't be happy at me doing so but want to say that @Darvel legend paid out on our charity bet placed at the start of the season and sent more than the agreed £20. The East Ayrshire Churches Homeless Action group are the beneficiaries.
Therefore, I proclaim him to be an all round good egg! Thanks Jim
WelL done pal least the talbot won something this season

Given his predilection for seeking legal advice, it seems very doubtful that McInally would go on to a podcast like this and make categorical statements like the fact he called Gall out about having contacted Oliver.
100% another embarrasing episode , but no they only contacted him after the Irvine meadow game

That would genuinely be hilarious.
There was a video earlier on in the season probably after getting knocked out of big Scottish cup and gall quoted ‘ we told Tony we wanted the Scottish junior cup this season ‘ he must no have told him if u get there I will Sack u just before it , after playing hutton in west final I didn’t think he could surpass that but even by his standards this is beyond belief

I don’t believe that GIRUU is Frank Hill but the club needs to come out and say who is going to be running it in 4 weeks time. Gall is going , Hill says he’s not taking it on, I’d imagine the rest of the executive committee who are all pretty much John’s pals will leave as well and I’ve heard that a couple of the non exec guys are leaving as well, there needs to be an EGM called so that everyone with the club at heart can have there say and not just an AGM which is a closed shop to season ticket holders.
100% needed

Mark he was a great guy as well as a top manager , I could tell a million stories but the funniest one was down at maybole one Saturday , both teams fighting relegation and i saw the police presence at the game thinking they were just in to watch but no half time whistle gos and they arrest our left back as he’s coming off park , jamesy in his own style says officer we are fighting relegation here can u no wait to time up ,?
sorry was the reply and no matter how hard he tried which went on a while he was still taken away in back of the van .
honestly it was one of the funniest things I’ve seen at a game
