Seaside Sam Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 A surprise for me maybe not others are Hurlford! A decent team IMO their position at present flatters them from the few games that I have seen. That being said now that they are there it may be difficult to topple them.

In the championship it has to be Benburb and Rossvale but then recently promoted clubs often carry on their success in the higher league (dosn't seem to apply in the Premier though). Glencairn were always expected to do well but i think their start was a bit better than some, including their own fans, thought possible. The biggest surprise though is that Darvel have not won EVERY match so far in a canter (well it is to DL in his dreams). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemightyHERTHA Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hurlford are a squad packed with quality and it's no surprise that they're where they are, Darren Henderson is a fox of a manager as well and knows what it's all about. Let's keep hurlford away from surprise packages as they've been a big and consistent force for well over a decade now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few big big results for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Specifically Hurlford they were a force 4/5 years ago but not 10 years ago as they were an Ayrshire District Team then. In 2011/12 they finished 1 point above being relegated and finished above East Kilbride Thistle on goal difference. They were hardly a force then and didn't do great in cups. Since 2012 they have pushed on with significant investment in playing squad and facilities. Anyway this season the surprise teams have been Benburb in Championship I didn't expect them to be one of teams at the top. In the Premiership Largs and Clydebank doing pretty well in top half of league have been somewhat of a surprise. Some cracking results for Largs. In my opinion teams underperforming are Kilbirnie & Petershill in Premiership then Darvel in Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11TH MAY 1991 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 If you look at where Clydebank FC are on Boxing Day 2018 compared to where they were on Boxing Day 2017 it`s fair to say 2018 has been a helluva year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s weird how you judge people based on a football team they have an allegiance too. Childish behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your club who paid players between £230 and £300 per week paid this amount to chase a cup that most people in our nation have never heard of And while looking down at most clubs in the process whilst buying players that you benched to stop other teams signing them, meadow were a right horrible bunch to deal with back then but just you kid yourself on that what your were chasing never mattered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
