Ayr Victoria Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Renfrew's recent form is certainly eye-catching, 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 8 games, including wins over promotion contenders Clydebank (twice) and Girvan. They only took 1 point out of the first 18, but since then they've taken 19 points out of the next 24. That shows what a change of management can do for a club. Cumbernauld United's supporters will be hoping for a similar reaction when they appoint their new manager in the next day or two. Shettleston's change of management doesn't seem to have impacted on their promotion hopes so far, two wins out of two and they have quietly gone top of the league tonight. I took in Blantyre v Girvan today when our game got called off, and it was a much better Girvan side from the one I saw at Renfrew a few weeks ago. I still think they are the dark horses for the title. I'm surprised by how well Girvan are doing this season Glensmad. We played them at the start of the season and totally outplayed them for 90mins. The standard must not be great in the Super 1st this season sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think they are the dark horses for the title. We haven't had a change of management. The same guys have been in charge for about 7 or 8 years. The Clydebank game was the start of a great run but maybe, apart from the game at The Celcius and at Petershill Park, we've not been too far away in other games. Odd goal defeats against Shettleston and Kilsyth, a draw against Meadow when they scored in the 93rd minute, and throwing away a two goal lead to lose 3-2 against Cumbernauld have all been frustrating. We brought in around 10 new players at the start of the season and lost Alain Kinney through injury. The first few games were all about finding our best team, and we struggled to gel. Now we have probably used the same 14 players over the last 6 games and the new guys are looking more assured with each passing game. We didn't play great today-The Girvan match was probably our best performance of the season- but we kept going and maybe could have had another goal . Good Luck to Clydebank for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Cumbernauld appointed their new management team already Glensmad. The Thoeniewood manager and his team. I knew it was Frame they were getting, but I didn't know it had been announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, so I'm told, I just got a text to tell me that. I'm not sure who I was mixing Renfrew up with, my apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 We were disappointed only to draw at Renfrew in mid December, but on reflection it looks like a good point given their current run of results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilsyth ranger Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Am not that suprised at a resurgent Renfrew side , we beat them 2-1 at there new park in a hard fought friday night game , and we beat them in the west after pens after a 0-0 draw but in all honesty they were much better than us that day an were very unlucky not to beat us , they looked a strong team that day an have went from strengh to strengh since.

Yes, I heard that as well, apparently it's a pitch which Celtic are finished with at Lennoxtown and they've just given it to the council. Presumably, if that is true, then Celtic deem it to be no longer fit for their purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got absolutely no idea where this rumour or "alternative truth" came from, but it's completely false. Pitch is brand new out the wrapper, players trained on it tonight and were very impressed, it's night and day from the old one, even when it was new.

Looking forward to seeing it up close and watching my team playing on it this season. Is it similar to Renfrew's pitch, or the even better surface at Glasgow Green ?

peasy23 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Haven't set foot on either of them, but this one feels terrific underfoot. Most noticeable difference is that the ball doesn't roll as far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's been supplied by Glasgow City Council, then I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same as the new pitch at Glasgow Green, which is the best I've seen around.
