catakoom Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Think recruitment has been spot on for well over a decade and any training I’ve been to seems the part. Some exciting young players and quality older ones. We could have splashed out to keep a big squad happy sure but could have still came second. Plenty still to celebrate, we got our club license and more improvements on the way ground wise. Big Scottish to look forward to. New kit deal with Kappa as official kit partners with our own designed kit which will be out in time for the start of season. Never mind the televised cup final and challenge cup final that could see the cabinets restocked. As a fan I think waiting on playing in the lowland another year isn’t the worst outcome. Hopefully things can open up a bit more promotion wise and larger clubs can take places in it. Would have be nice to win it this season but I won’t pretend to be distraught about it in all honesty. It’s football these things happen.You're saying recruitment has been spot on for well over a decade,yet you only moved to the Talbot 7 years ago after being a Hurlford fan ,the mind boggles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mantis Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 16 hours ago, Botlad67 said: Bonnyrigg will hammer us I expect the final to be close. I would never write off the Talbot, look at how they nicked the cup with the two last minute goals against Hurlford, or beating Hamilton this season, or the Kelty game (that was down to Tucker, if you swapped managers I’m sure Kelty would have won). I don’t think Bonnyrigg have ever beaten the Talbot so it’ll be a nice benchmark of where the two clubs are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take time but already showing their decent players. They are both woeful can't defend can't pass both constantly caught out of position and just batter the ball up the park as far as they can . They look like what they are 2 centre half's playing out of position 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who mentioned "top of the pile" my question was regarding your comment about recruitment being spot on for more than a decade yet you only arrived SEVEN years ago from the last team you supported. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wow-wee Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Just to remind everyone mick Kennedy has never beaten the buffs in a competitive game so it's not over yet although we are down to the bare bones squad wise we are not going to darvel on Saturday to sit back I'm sure our players will want to spoil any party planned by darvel as long as talbot beats glenafton then it's not over yet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darvel would have to shite the bed something fierce over their last 2 games. Hilarious as that would be their current form doesn't hint at that happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which gives me a laugh in all honesty, same kind of nonsense when I’ve helped out and filmed games for other clubs or yahoos on here predicting moves. Would they do it if my coverage was shaking or terrible quality? don’t know but entertaining if not dire repetitive tripe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder there are people out there who make self entitlement jibs of some Talbot supporters. Edited May 5, 2022 by C4mmy31 -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Gold Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Wednesday nights game was Talbot's 53rd and they looked like a side who had played 53 games. Hopefully after Saturday the players get a well earned rest and the squad is a bit fresher for two big games ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
