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

A club struggling for money should be focusing on the highest prize pot in non-league football, the Scottish Junior Cup, if Darvel went into the LL giving the travel costs, the lack of fans at the LL level it would kill Darvel.
ProMotion would put the club out the game

Can't agree a league is always the biggest prize for any manager.
Of course it is but that’s one trophy and no manager in Darvel’s history has won 2 trophies in the one season

How can winning the junior cup now in 2024 make him the most successful darvel manager ever ? Mick Kennedy is your most successful manager ever as it's harder to win the wosfl than a cup!
West and Scottish in one season , no one has ever done it so that’s how , mick is held in the greatest regard by myself as he transformed the football club and gave us some unbelievable days which will never be forgotten

But he hasn't got rid of the big earners though has he?
Leishman Caldwell Syme Bronsky Gee Jordan & Craig Moore et al will still be taking big wages every week.
Of course they are but the bigger earners than them Went

Doesn’t take a footballing genius to have half a clue that the League form has been tragic to say the least.
The two cup finals have kept Tony in a job until now. Would you be confident going into the Junior Cup Final while Tony has the reigns…. I for one wouldn’t.
Taking nothing away from him for getting us there and the good results/ performances in the league but if there were no cup finals he would have been long gone by now.
So u agree with this decision ?
he’s top Half of the table after being told to get rid of all the top players and high earners and I thought we would be lucky to stay up when that decision was made , not only has he done that easily he has won the west cup which we have never done and favourites for the Scottish cup final , no disrespect to arthurlie0 -
Seems like it wasn’t a committee decision , one man making the club a laughing stock again , the full committee should resign tonight en masse

If I was Michael Oliver I wouldn’t touch the job with a barge pole with who’s running the club , it really is a complete and utter mess with no one got a clue about football
