Absolutely but i still stand by what i said. If DL wasn't doing what he does best there wouldn't be nearly the same amount of abuse towards Darvel as a club.

This crops up every now and again. I don't think Darvel are hated as a club. They have a couple of fans who like to shout their mouths off and other fans like nothing better than them to fall flat on their face. Very much like Kirkintilloch Rob Roy were the targets because of one guy who came on and annoyed f**k out of everyone. He has disappeared and so has the abuse. I have no problem with Darvel , they are a decent bunch .

MIck Kennedy mate.

Arthurlie also do a food bank collection. Great idea and one that every club should consider. Well done on bringing this topic up.

Really sorry to hear this news. A lovely big guy. A sad loss to everyone who knew him. Condolences to his family. R.I.P. Alex.

I usually like Clydebanks strips but i don't like this one. I don't normally like Talbot's but this season's is pretty special. So far my favourite is the St. Rochs home shirt.

I agree mate . I believe if ever there was to be a vote on this it would be for the season ticket holders to decide. A good reason to buy one possibly, just in case.

Absolute belters.

Not heard too much about that to be fair.. As I've said before, Neilston fans seem to know more about our business than we do. The only thing i heard was one old guy was stirring shite about us trying to sell off Dunterlie.

We have a young guy on our committee and his specific function is to work on the media side. He does heehaw. Waste of a club tie to be perfectly honest.

Bad news when Arthurlie fans learn of our signings from a Neilston fan. Thanks for the info harvester.

I think apart from Del McNab, James Marks and Hal Bohme we have more or less the same boys mate. I agree we did well last season but still need better quality if we are going to figure in any title race.

I see nobody is predicting top 3 or bottom 3 for Arthurlie. To be fair that will do for me. The lack of transfer activity up Barrhead way is getting comical. As i understand it, we have signed a keeper, a centre back on a free and a boy from under 21s. Not showing much ambition if you ask me. Season of struggle ahead for the long suffering Dunterlie faithful?

I think New Tinto Park will help the Bens to survive. They very rarely lose at home. I know some people said they were a long ball team but in the 2 and a half games we played them, they were as good as any others we faced. Some cracking players. I hope they can stay up and i'm sure they will.

I couldn't agree more. The guy was totally inept at his job. Some of the decisions he gave against Arthurlie had to be seen to be believed. I'm sure lots of clubs and players will be delighted with his departure.

Absolutely mate and i really hope he does well but i think he found his level last season.

Everybody knows by now that McNab is away to Rossvale. Wanted more money than Arthurlie were prepared to pay. Presumably Rossvale stumped up what he was looking for. For what its worth , i do think he will struggle in the top league.

You would think so mate but if i remember the proposal stated if the keeper stopped the ball or it struck woodwork the ball would be deemed dead and would result in a goal kick. I just remember at the time thinking it was crazy.

I also heard of this mate but not sure if it was just a proposed change or has actually been implemented. I remember at the time wondering what would happen if the ball struck woodwork then hit the keeper and went in.

Henrik i agree with you. Need to improve the quality of player from last season in some positions. Signed a real prospect in young Urquart and if he can hit the ground running as did Lee Roulston last season he will be a real asset. We have some real young talent in our ranks and signing players with a bit more experience will help. Hearing Del McNab is signing for Rossvale, . He was one of the better players last season but i really don't think he will be that difficult to replace especially if a couple of the names i am hearing getting bandied about ,as possible signings ,come to fruition. In my opinion we only have two defenders of real quality. That needs to be addressed if we are to stand a chance of promotion Once again it's going to be a very competitive league. One that will be very difficult to get out of.

While i wasn't overly impressed with them in our 2 league games they have undoubtably done the business elsewhere. If they do win through, and i fully expect them to, I hope they along, with the Glens and Benburb, manage to consolidate in the top division. Next to no fans but an incredibly hard working committee. On the threshold of a superb acheivement. Good luck.

Well chuffed for the Bens. Hard work on and off the pitch has paid off big time.

A complete footballer.Loved watching him play. He is up there with the best I've had the pleasure of watching. There isn't a junior team he couldn't have walked into. A massive loss to the game and to Ladeside.

Possibly the staff carried by St. Roch but not sure of that because of the pointed end. I've seen depictions of St. Roch and in some he is carrying something very similar.
