What is wrong with people? These people need there baws/fanny booted
Mon the papers
I couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately society tends to pamper to the no gooders. If the authorities are serious with regards to the clamping down on those breaking the rules on self isolation by means of mobile phone tracking then here’s in ideal opportunity to put it to the test. (Presuming they had a phone on them at the time).
I hope the low life scum responsible for this are caught and made an example of and it sends a message to others.0 -
Well done to Darvel on making it through to the quarter finals.

When is the next round draw likely to be and likely dates for 3rd Round?! Thanks.
The draw for the next round will take place this Saturday (18th Jan) at New Tinto Park after the Rossvale v Beith match.
Dates for the matches have still to be announced.1 -

Game is on.0 -
Good luck to Caddy. (Although not against Hurlford) Just heard he’s signed for Cumnock.
And I assumed he’d go to Thistle haha3 -
I’m sure Ryan will be playing in a Hurlford jersey on Saturday.

Hurlford Utd v Beith OFF

Buffs DID score a second goal, then the Ref decided he saw someone foul something .... the only man in the park to see it. He obviously doesn't like being questioned or shouted at from the touchlines and he decided Syme had fouled a Hurlford diver with a shoulder charge and they scored from the penalty. An otherwise excellent even match between two exciting attacking teams.
Buffs may have had the ball in the net but it was clearly after the ref blew the whistle. Stand in Keeper came close to keeping out the penalty and luck was on his side as he tipped a deflected shot onto the post when the scores were all square. Any keeper would have been proud of his tip over from the Hurlford kick off as Hurlford almost pulled level immediately. I don’t know how the 1st half shot from the Buffs which hit both posts managed to stay out as we rode our luck with that one. I’m just disappointed we didn’t have more shots at the keeper. Hope the boy who went off isn’t out for too long and recovers quickly. Goalscorer for Buffs (No 9) May find himself lucky only to receive a yellow under the new law as he kicked out at Murchie.
Buffs imo will be a tough nut to crack this season especially at Buffs Park.0 -

A true gent of a man in all respects. I spoke to Matt most Saturday nights to give him our result as well as get that days other junior results and get the following week’s opponents.
(That was back in the late 1980’s pre internet)
He always made the time for you and nothing was too much trouble.
As posted above he was one of the “Old guard”
And fittingly a minutes silence in respect of a true gent.4 -

Who will get preference in the 2 ties to be played at Guys Meadow in round 2?
Possibly solutions:
Play ties on different days (sat/ sun)
Play ties on different dates (on round 1 and 2 dates)
Toss a coin and play at away teams ground / neutral venue (ie New Tinto)
Makes sense to play 1 tie on the 14th and the other on the 28th therefore the home team drawn doesn’t lose out.

Rumour has it the boy Guthrie who scored the first was supposed to be suspended, the points should be taken off the Nock!
It doesn’t help that the sjfa no longer list suspended players/ officials on the website which will no doubt add to confusion. Hopefully they will reinstate the list as they still have the section which then directs clubs to check the admin section for their own club.1 -
His assistant didn't help either as both keepers moved before kicks were taken and she was only 10 yards away.

Hurlford looked a really good outfit last night despite being a bit rusty at times. You can see why they compete for all the trophies.
One thing I noticed about last night was the lack of bad tackles. A few mistimed ones but nothing really horrendous
Thought the ref managed the game well except for his inability to count the number of penalties.
Counting has never been a strong point of mine either so I relied on recording them on my phone.
Darvel took 5 penalties (scored 2, missed 2 and the other was saved)
Hurlford took 4 (scored 3 and 1 was saved).
Therefore no reason to take the last penalty.0 -
Fitba Shorts were at Darvel last night. Just incase anyone wants to view the highlights (or further guess the attendance) haha

Really good game , thought Hurlford probably shaded it if I’m being honest but we won’t play anyone like that in our league , best of luck to Hurlford in season ahead
Appreciate the kind words DL. Hope you enjoy the wee gift I gave you earlier.
Better that it goes to someone with Darvel/ Colville Park connections rather than stuck in a drawer. Good luck in your next 2 sectional cup games (hopefully you’ll have a similar sized crowd)
And all the best for what I’m sure will be a memorable season for Darvel.3 -
If like last season then round 1 and round 2 will be drawn at the same time.
Last season there was only 1 tie in round 1 (possibly 3 ties this season)
Draws for subsequent rounds usually take place in the week following any potential replay dates.
eg.
Round 2
played on 26th Sep (any replay would be 3rd Oct)
Draw for round 3 would be in the week beginning 5th Oct. (usually a Wednesday or Thursday)
Although if anyone has more accurate draw dates it would be helpful if they were added to the dates for the ties section.
Hope that makes sense. Haha
I know what I mean.!!0 -
Great result for Kilsyth Rangers, wasn't there as on holiday, but we won't get carried away with a pre season friendly result against a premier team, like some teams, proper games coming up, all the best to everyone at Hurlford for the season ahead
Kilsyth have the makings of a decent team and could well be at the higher end of the Championship in what will be a difficult/ competitive league this season. Like all teams it will of course depend on squad availability.
No complaints on yesterday’s result and the Kilsyth first goal (free kick) would look good in any league.
Good luck for the season ahead.1 -
Congratulations to Rossvale in gaining promotion to the Super Premier after their 2-0 win today.

Chris Hughton with the lure of European football? He kept Brighton in the Premiership. Or is he a no no?

Congratulations to Auchinleck on winning the league (as much as it pains me to say it)

I remember a cup game at Abbey Park (late 1980’s).
I think it was the West.
It was 2-2 going into the closing stages and the then Hurlford keeper (Jack Steel from Larkhall) had been taking pelters from the home fans in the shed behind the goal end. Buffs got a late penalty and big Jack saved it and proceeded to turn and cross himself much to the annoyance of the locals.
The shed emptied onto the pitch and bedlam ensued.
Being from Larkhall Jack was as blue nosed as they came and I may be corrected but I think he later went on to play for the buffs.
All the best at your new place.3
