Genuinely hope you don't go down but it's always a worry if the plaything starts to lose it's flavour for the money man, will he jump. It's happened so often at other clubs at all grades. Still you seem confident so you may be rewarded. Darvel can't and won't be relegated. TBH They probably have just about enough points already to be safe..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is 30 games, so add a few points on to that. Darvel are currently on 19 points from 15 games. Girvan (currently in the relegation zone) are on 9 points from 12 games. Were they to win those games in hand they would only be a point behind Darvel. And there's half a season still to go. I don't think Darvel will be in any relegation problem, either, but to say they probably have just about enough points already is silly. If they finished the season on 19 points they would unquestionably be relegated. Edited December 20, 2018 by glensmad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, given the points so far taken by the bottom 3 , There is no way it will take 34 points to be safe. All about opinions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about opinions The fact that the bottom two have next to no points at all, that means the teams from 3rd bottom up are going to have a few more points than they would normally have, meaning the safety mark will rise a little above what is normal. But I do agree, Darvel won't be relegated, they will finish top half in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to disagree Glens, if Girvan only have 9 points from 12, and haven't yet played Rossvale, Benburb or Cumbernauld. They are unlikely to gain too many more than 9 at the half way point. So to think they will get 30 points plus is not a bet I would be betting on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffiti on the wall Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Still a long way to go Kello and Larkhall seem likely to be relegated but that last spot could go to a few teams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPhone Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 As much as I would like to see Darvel get relegated I know that they are too strong for that to be them and I think they are better than their league position suggests. Probably finish about mid table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye ur probably right when u look at our results this season every game has been close obviously as we have won 4 and drawn 7 but the 4 defeats were all by the odd goal apart from arthurlie who beat us 4-2 , it’s been disappointing but will make it all the sweeter when we get it right , and I won’t say anything when it does go well ha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
