    It is a shame that idiots at the Glenafton - Darvel game have ended up getting everyone talking about them. When what We should have been talking about was a great game of football!

    I was watching the game from the opposite side from the covered terraced area where there was the nonsense so no idea what happened.  It was a brilliant game with chances for both teams and a very good finish in the last minute to win it for Darvel. 

    Yes I am sure that Glenafton thought and possibly deserved the win. Hopefully they will improve as they gain experience playing together. 

    I would like to think that the committee of any club where there is trouble at a game bans fans who miss behave. It should be in the clubs best interest to do so.

    Still not seen a match report from either club!

     

    Bobby Guthrie was present at the game the other night. He usually takes a couple days or so to compile his match report and his pics from the game for Glenafton.

    Am not an expert on this level of football by any margin but what I thought was particularly wrong was the fact no glenafton committee members or older supporters tried to stop their fans fighting in fact the abuse the older men were belting out was off the scale , after the game 2 men with glenafton ties attempted to stop my son leaving the ground when he was behind me claiming it was for his own safety 😂 I told him we would take our chances sticking together , why not stop me but stop him ? 

    The Glenafton committee are volunteers. They are not the police. I’m sure like most fans they aren’t their to be in danger. What exactly did you want them to do in that moment? 

    What I will say the committee do need to do more to prevent this happening. Measures need to be put in place to stamp this out, no doubt about it.

    From what I witnessed the committee  stood in the stand in the aftermath to try and ensure no further incident. 


    The referee of the game is a policeman, did you want him to start intervening and handcuffing fans? So hardly think glens committee going to get in amongst violence. 

    Again I still find it staggering that Darvel are absolving themselves of any blame. Their behaviour was abysmal and to play on Glenafton previous history of trouble is embarrassing to say the least.

    Got to commend Mick McCann for not reacting to the Darvel playings goading in his face in the technical area during their celebrations.

    Let’s be clear about the facts here, when Glenafton scored to go 1-0 up all their players ran and celebrated in front of the Darvel dugout. Two players were booked because of it no reaction from us whatsoever.

    When we scored the winner our players celebrated in front of the Glenafton dugout, I believe one of our players were booked. Then all hell broke loose, Glenafton staff member sent off. 
     

    The word frightening infers it was a two way thing, the truth is and the video clearly shows 7 Glenafton fans attacking a Darvel committee member. 
     

    The issue was clear to see from the outset, large amount of alcohol being clearly drank in the stand. Carry out being carried in a half time. 
     

    Celebration to both goals were probably over the top, but if you think that an excuse for what followed then no wonder there been previous issues. 
     

    In reference to be shouting as I walked off, I didn’t shout I simply replied to what someone was shouting at me. I can take abuse, in the main it’s light hearted. But what was he said to me was totally unacceptable. 
     

    No matter what happens, there in no excuse for people attacking people. 

    Your players encroached the dugout Mick when celebrating. Wooing in our managers face,  which showed a complete lack of respect. That lead to the incident where the member of Glens staff got sent off for reacting. I don't seem to remember any Glens player actually in your technical area celebrating. 

     Your fans were  involved too and also under the influence of alcohol also. There are other videos circulating also which show young Darvel fans also throwing punches. To be selective to paint Darvel in a better light and lay sole blame on Glenafton is pretty poor. 

    I am in no way defending the Glens fans violence. It was horrific to see. 

     In regards to the fan shouting at you about the "drugs" reference well that is up to you how you deal with that. Personal abuse aimed towards players and managers has been a mainstay at this grade for years and one which will likely continue.  Again not defending those actions but it is near impossible to eradicate that sort of thing at this grade of football. 

    On a more positive note the game itself was a well contested affair with plenty action. A good advert for this level with two good footballing sides.
