Not necessarily. It depends on what exactly the contractor was engaged to do. Were the drains within the scope of the contract? If not, it's the club's fault.

jaggyness Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Very much looking like any one of 5 teams for the title and 2 from 4 joining Medda (sorry) in heading down now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthurlie1981 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 We survived on 30 points last season (29 would have been safe). Think it will be around 27 this year meaning we need 12 points from 12 games. Given the run in we have I think that is quite a tall order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home games against Glenafton and Rob Roy at home. Two real chances against 10 men and beaten in both. The manager hasn't a clue how to set his team up, poor tactics and very little instruction during games. If we had won those games we would probably be safe. We had the same problem last season, an inability to beat teams in the relegation dogfight along with us. We are where we are because we are not good enough. We need 12 performances like the St. Cadoc's display in the run in 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Learner Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The winner of Beith-Darvel next weekend in a very strong position. A draw there and Talbot very much in the mix if they do the business at home to Hurlford. IMO those are the three favourites at this stage and it looks like we could be in for a cracking end to the season. Big result for us yesterday(even more so than any normal derby win). Just about finishes talk of a potential relegation battle and hopefully allows us to play out the season with an eye to building for next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are where we are because we are not good enough. We need 12 performances like the St. Cadoc's display in the run in I tend to agree, the St Cadocs game looks more like an aberration than the norm. Those games you highlight, as well as Largs at home, have cost us massively. Cumnock away, where we were outplayed for most of the game, only to get level and look the more likely to win then throw it away with the last kick of the game. Those games add up to the 12 points we need. Agree on the manager, imo the Scottish run has papered over the cracks of some of the errors. Both Bens and Bellshill should have had us out if they had taken their chances. Players need to have a look at themselves as well with some big name players not playing to their levels and the lack of fight in a Southside Derby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking to people I know from St Cadocs after our game last week, they thought they needed 6 points fro the last 2 games to have a chance. Stranger things have happened and you never know if teams above them drop further points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Cadocs are in contention I'd say. The division doesn't have a single dominant side steamrolling their way to the title so there's always a chance for a less fancied team to nick it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might think they want to continue the Juniors' century-long sulk, cutting themselves off from the rest of Scottish (and indeed world) football for reasons no-one can remember.. Like Francis Urquhart, I couldn't possibly comment. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Francis Urquhart, I couldn't possibly comment. Nobody is that enthusiastic about swapping something they currently enjoy for playing civil service strollers and hearts dafty team. I think most traditional ex-junior sides in the WOS league would be happier to let a few of the self proclaimed "ambitious" sides go first to improve the appeal of the LL and then join them in a few seasons time. Personally I'd love to see Talbot in there next season. I've got no idea what the general feeling about that prospect is in the wider Talbot support these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Cadoc's and Gartcairn already there. Drumchapel Utd in with a shout for promotion to the Premier finally. Caley Locos have arrested their slide and might return one day. Finnart securing Crownpoint. Who knows what to come from all the 4th Division clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
