tombo Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Can someone explain why Girvan are not being scheduled any midweek fixtures when Kello who are the farthest travelling team in the league have been handed 2 away games in 2 days this week? Yes I know the Girvan fans are going to jump on here and point out that they were at Dalmellington last Wednesday night,but they are your near neighbours so wasn't a great hardship. Am assuming they struggle to put a team together or do they have someone at the SFA pulling strings for them. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr Victoria Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 The boys I spoke to today are not happy at the lack of midweek fixtures so I think it's an issue you need to take up with the SJFA. Stop moaning while you're at it. Doesn't matter when teams play games everyone plays 22 sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beenzon-Toste Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Oh dear! Tombo is clutching at any straw he can grasp. Obviously hoping that Girvan would drop points if they have to play midweek with a depleted squad. But with a title to play for, I'd guess they would make sure everyone was available whereas Kello and Saltcoats wouldn't be so concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 It really is perplexing. We've had one midweek game so far which is definitely not enough with so many games still to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr Victoria Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Ourselves and Saltcoats weren't scheduled to play this Wednesday so John phoned up and asked why considering we still had each other to play. The SJFA then gave us the fixture.They thought we had already played Saltcoats twice but we hadn't. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr Victoria Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Tombo obviously doesn't fancy his sides chances to win it. Disappointed to see Vics moaning now as they have been respectful to everyone all season. We had half a team today but still gave Girvan a tough game and they scored both their goals in the last 5 mins. You are right Honestboy Girvan have 3 games left to their 1. They're still favourites in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markka Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I'm with tombo on this one. Not suggesting any conspiracy but there's no good reason why Girvan aren't playing midweek while we have to travel to Muirkirk on Monday and Kello to us on Wednesday.

Thereisalight.. Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Tbh I'm not sure who we've left to play. Know we've got Muirkirk, who's the other two games against? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad08 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Muirkirk kello saltcoats saltcoats game should at least be a midweek fixture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr Victoria Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Irvine Vic's have only played Dalry during midweek fixtures which is hardly travelling far. I'm not sure I see where Tombo's problem is here? Care to explain Tombo instead of hiding away sir . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrvineVicsMan Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 For one, a single fan saying something isn't Vics being disrespectful to anyone. I think the main point made here by tombo is the longer it takes Girvan to play their 2 games in hand(through no fault of their own) is the longer it takes for our trip to Craigmark to get assigned a date. Either that or we will have played all our games without knowing if we have won the league or not. It is a bit ridiculous in my opinion, why not give them a game this midweek then the 2 following Saturday's? Anyway good result today, again, I missed it through work but delighted nonetheless. Mon the Vics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrvineVicsMan Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 You play craigmark next sat , Never even seen that honestboy, thanks. Bit stupid that we will have played all of our fixtures and still have to wait for Girvan to play 2 games before we know if we're champions or not.

Ayr Victoria Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I'm with tombo on this one, It sounds like they have pulled a few strings at hampden and got there own way. Ayr Victoria you sound bitter sir, Like a Wee bit of jealousy has creeped in at your teams lack of promotion Will be nice to see your face when your beloved Balfour is snapped up for the new season by wait for it...Girvan I can assure sir Balfour won't be going anywhere . Irvine Vic's play Craigmark next week so maybe you'll know the outcome of Muirkirk do you lot a favour sir. I agree though Girvan should have been a priority to catch up but the SJFA are a shambles with fixtures. Why can't we just get a full fixture card like the SPFL does each season allocating postponements at end of season like normal governing bodies.

Ayr Victoria Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 You've to Agree though sir that if the lads scoring 40 a season then others must be looking at him? I hope your right as he seems to be a cult hero for you guys Why Girvan though? Surely bigger and better teams will come calling. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finished our fixtures two seasons ago while Vics still had two games to play. Girvans lack of midweek games this spring remains perplexing though.

tombo Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hey guys not really having a moan and was a bit tongue in cheek, but truth is was speaking to boys from Kello at our game today and they are raging. It was them who pointed out that in almost 8 midweek slots Girvan have had only 2 games whilst teams like Ardeer, Dalry have had 3 matches over 7 days. Also they are so pissed off that they are willing to pay the fine for not fulfilling a fixture(v dalry) AV 're our midweek game at Dalry. We expected to sit out a few midweek games to allow others,e.g. Girvan , the opportunity to catch up. You know me, am good for a wind up but not snide with it. Have been respectful to all ADL teams and certainly not desperate. We done what we set out to do,gain promotion and with our neighbours joining us next year after their relegation,that's a bonus. A league title would be the cherry on top but if Girvan pip us at the end, I say well done to them. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
