RobRoyGuy Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Both have strong squads both teams will be difficult to stop. Not a hard thing to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 It's way too early to say what you're saying. I do understand what you're saying and what you're trying to do, but I and most others can see right through it. I don't believe for one second that you don't believe that the likes of Rob Roy, Largs, Maybole, Cumbernauld and Shettleston will give up on a top two place after only five matches of the season. C'mon, behave yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrvineVicsMan Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 If anyone offered me a point at the start of the game I would've taken it but after the second half I'm very disappointed to only walk away with a point. After drawing level we hit the post and missed 2 sitters, should've went on and won it in the second half. The sending off for Largs at the end was silly but didn't effect the game as it was too late on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr Victoria Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Maybole leaking 5 goals again today I see. They have the worst unfit defenders in that league, I said from the start that they would struggle defensively after watching them twice this year. I saw the lad peacock last week and let me tell ye milk could turn quicker than him. That's 13 from 3 games that I know of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Took a good opportunity today with our blank weekend to take in the cup tie featuring two teams just promoted up to this league, Shettleston v Ardeer, especially useful with us playing Shettleston next week. Ardeer started the game well and took the lead reasonably early in the game, but they fell out of it badly when Shettleston had a man sent off, and the ten men deserved to come back and win. I was quite surprised at how lacklustre Ardeer were after going in front, but well done to Shettleston for rolling up their sleeves and getting the job done. We will have a hard game there next Saturday, no doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~C'mon the Town~ Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 What u think of the sending off Glensmad......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 What u think of the sending off Glensmad......? It was a strange incident. From where I was standing, I thought the striker got the touch on the ball and was fouled, but the guys around me thought it was the defender who touched the ball. However, regardless of that, it was never a red card as the striker was about to be tackled from both sides and there's no way it was a "clear goal scoring opportunity". Also, the incident was right in the centre of the goal, so I was baffled why the free kick was taken away to the side, making it easier for Ardeer to get an angle to hit the target.

Markka Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 What u think of the sending off Glensmad......? I didn't think it was a red card either, not that I was complaining at the time. The ref actually explained his decision to me post-match, saying that although he thought your defender had got a touch on the ball, it was a dangerous challenge he'd taken out our striker with, or something to that effect. The opinions of Ardeer fans around me at the time was divided, although I'm sure if we were to go back we'd have preferred for the player just to be booked, as we somehow played a lot better against 11 men than 10.

glensmad Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Sorry was this not a cup game? Yes, but it involved two teams from this league and I explained why I brought it into the context of this thread. So get back in your box. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon, behave yourself. Way to early to rule teams out for sure, our last 3 seasons participating in this division proved just that, the season we won the west , we lost our first 4 games in the super 1st then IIRC we narrowly missed out on a playoff spot to the Buffs in the end. The following season when we got promoted, again we had a poor start and trailed Lanark most of the season. Then 2 years ago think we lost our first 3 and had only won something like 2 out of our first 8 fixtures and eventually went up in 2nd place, only a point behind champions Hurlford. Plenty fitba still to be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Similarly it can work the other way. Kello Rovers won 6 of their first 7 and drew the other, but ended up relegated. The season before saw Ardrossan also start really well, but end up avoiding relegation due to an injury time goal in the last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First half Largs dominated and failed to take the chances made. Second half Vics took control and without doubt they missed some too! A point each not really what either team would be happy with. Onwards and upwards! Come on Theeeeeessssel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitbaw101 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Who do we think will go up and who will go down? Has any teams surprised anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Who do we think will go up and who will go down? Has any teams surprised anyone?There's no harm in making predictions based on what has happened so far, but I wouldn't put your mortgage on anything based on them. ;-)I keep saying it, but season 2012-13 showed how much things can change in this league. Over the first 7 games of the season, Kello Rovers took 19 points and Kilbirnie Ladeside took 5 points. Kello Rovers ended up relegated by a 6-point margin, and Kilbirnie Ladeside ended up automatically promoted by a 5-point margin. There are loads of twists and turns still to come.

I'll stop pointing out the sensible truth, when you stop talking absolutely nonsense like saying everybody else will be battling for 3rd place if we win at Shettleston on Saturday. Fair ?
