wee bubba Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Lanark didn't go up because like the other teams outside the top 3 they weren't good enough, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work that one out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With insights like that, you could be looking at Sky next season! Cambuslang won 13 and drew 1. Lanark won 9 and drew 6. There is not one of us at Lanark saying we deserved to go up with form like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue manalishi Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The league table doesn't lie so congratulations to those promoted. Those who just missed out can be assured that, despite having nothing to play for, Lanark ran Benburb and Cambuslang very close in their last two games. Wins in either or both games were quite conceivable based upon their performances. Cambuslang scored in the 83rd minute today. I thought Lanark were the better team throughout. Both sides missed gilt edged chances to score. A good, competitive game to round off our season played on a wonderful surface. Not sure if your 'Lanark were the better team throughout' claim is a wind up or not , but hey ho , it's all about opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more than you'll ever get to do then with your one sided views on junior football, maybe next season you'll be promoted, if you're good enough that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was merely saying that at the turn of the year they were, in most people's eyes, a certainty for the title. We're they not 9 points clear at one stage. And as short as 6/4 with bookies.

I watched them in a cup game and was standing with their officials, when I asked them what their chances of promotion was they told me that they'd win the league.

tambothejambo Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Next season Central Division 2 is gonna be a belter. Could have Dunipace St Anthony's Carluke / Vale of Clyde Lanark Port Glasgow East Kilbride Glasgow Perthshire Gartcairn Newmains Royal Albert Vale of Leven Ashfield East Kilbride, Gartcairn, Port Glasgow and Lanark will all be looking to kick on from last year. Can Perthshire, Newmains, VOL, Ashfield, Albert improve and challenge. And how good/prepared will the relegated teams be for their season in Div 2 ..... Intriguing league again next year.

I'd have made a better job of it than that if I was seeking to wind anyone up. It is just my opinion. I'm not claiming we were hard done by. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter as you scored, we didn't and you took the three points you needed to gain promotion which you deserve, having won 13 matches.

We'd have predicted exactly what has transpired, through years of experience. BTW - you asked them their opinion and they gave it. Now you are criticising them!

I'm not criticising them in any way, all I said was sometimes it's better to say nothing in case it comes back to bite you which in their case it did. They were adamant that they not only get promotion but would win the league. Good luck to your team next season, it'll be a harder league to get out of with the quality of teams that'll be in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambuslang were given 3 games in 6 days while Lanark had a whole week off , so credit to Cambuslang for clinching promotion with a never say die performance & scoring a late goal to win the game. Scott Robertson's face at full time was a sight to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule is there for everyone to take advantage of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristopher.1 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Well done to Cambusland and benburb on promotion âš½ï¸ Had a look back through this thread ...
