I am sure they'll be an added incentive added for the players as a going away present from JG.

It was you that said it ya tube!
 

Unsure how anyone other than JG can benefit financially when he leaves you say?
 

it was you that wanted a going away present from JG.
 

honestly you’ve lost all credibility on here and in life. Stay away from the club and keep your to yourself you mad conspiracy man. Everyone’s wrong and I’m right and I’m the only one says rhubarb!

An incentive for players if they win i.e. a bonus. I am not a player so how would I benefit?

 

With Frank Hill being sole director of Darvel Football Club CIC and DFC Trading Ltd is he the man taking over for definite? 

 

Nothing against the guy just never knew him until fairly recently to take an interest in football/Darvel. 

 

Interesting times to come. 

Think you might have just answered your own question there about the take over  

If you don’t know him personally, then why would you know if he has ever had an interest in football/Darvel?

I think you will find I said I never knew him to have an interest in football/Darvel until fairly recently. Not that I never knew him.

What is the preference for the semi final? I personally would take Auchinleck, would like another victory at beechwood plus would rather not meet them in final although beating them in the final would be incredible. My only concern with meeting them in the final is the experience they have in the final plus for the first time in a long time they will be underdogs. 

 

Not sure about Johnstone Burgh, I know they have spent heavily however with players being signed throughout the season I am not sure who in their squad is cup tied etc...not seen them play so can't comment what they are like. I think a lot would depend on who is cup tied. Meant to check their team for the last game but never got round to it. The likes of rossiter and the boys from Pollok they signed I don't know if they are cup tied. 

 

Arthurlie would fancy our chances against. 

 

I know on the final it is a one off game however realistically I would be expecting to get to it given our starting 11.

Is your thoughts based on the fact Talbot beat Hurlford and Hurlford beat your lot.

No, that is like saying we beat aberdeen so any team aberdeen beats we would be them. 

 

For me for whatever reason Talbot are a machine in cup finals, that said Tony has already beaten them in a final. I'd rather cash in over their crowds and have better chance of beating them than play them in a one off game in the final of a competition that has been effectively their baby since the mid 80s.

 

Don't get me wrong our starting 11 beats theirs all day long however how players react in finals is what makes them.

I would have agreed a couple of months ago about your starting 11 but now that the money and such like has gone I don't know if the extra mile is there. I would also think tucker would have beaten Tony's team more often than not .

Our starting 11 is still as strong as any at this level and arguably still the strongest, where other teams have advantage over us is size of squad and depth of cover. We weaken the team making subs not saying bad players however just not the quality of bench we had in the last couple of years. 

 

Players know they are being paid until the end of the season, I can't see any player throwing a chance of a scottish cup medal, might be wring but other than GWilson, Leishman and Jordan Moore no one else has one? If they are prepared to down tools when they have chance of being scottish champions then shouldn't be playing football. I could perhaps understand the league, slight niggle and they might go ouch I'll just rest, I think every player in the squad will be right up for scottish. 

 

My point regarding tucker v tony in the final is that he is one of the few managers that has managed to beat tucker in the final. 

 

I think we have 16/17 first team players when I counted, someone can give you a more arcuate answer than me on that, after that it is u20s players, who by all accounts are a decent side, lost a final there and looking like winning their league. From talking to people that regularly watch the u20s, they say they have some good players, we have seen small glimpses of some however it was noted that still probably a bit off this level and would be benefitting from going out on loans to the likes of Irvine Vics, Lugars those sort of teams if they are serious about their development, quite a few comments made about lack of loanees from the u20s. So although there is some good lads they are perhaps too green and ideally the u20s would be sending their better players out to lower level junior sides for the remainder of the season in order to benefit the players and give them better chance of first team football with us next season. No disrespect to u20s however I would rather see players come through the system than be held at a development league just to win a title. Ultimately it is a development league, the best u20s players are littered throughout the lower divisions and getting a far better education.

Let's not get arrogant where vice and Lugar with you loaning players before pie money and marching powder money you were glad of loan players or were you not an attendee at that time. 

[Darvel legend]

I would say that’s the draw I wanted , be some tie to see who plays the burgh in final , I feel for arthurlie as in a one off they would have a chance against the other 3 teams , two legs gives the favourites a massive advantage as they can play bad once unlikely twice

It is not arrogant, we took advantage of players offered to us on loans for years, at moment we are in prep league, playing our boys in competitive mens football below the west perm is great experience, I said they are good players but not quite at this level yet. Give them a crack and help a team out in lower league while gaining the boy far better experience than the u20s league. You still find a lot of good and very experienced players down the levels some are aging however very clever players, the young boys could out run them however the experience the older players have can only help them.

Great draw, great pay day twice as shared gates and they will have some support with them. This is our year, keep starting 11 fit and no one matches ours

Shared gates? Do you know something we don’t know. Shared gates don’t usually happen at semi final level.

Shared gates home/away plus SJFA get cut too. Works in our favour without a doubt.

Shows how much you know. Brilliant answer, shows how much you actually know. Stay away, stay safe, protect the Darvel from the rhubarb.
