Shanner Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 is the Darvel project a big enough vehicle for the burgeoning ego of pie chap? I suspect that in the long term it won't be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that in the long term it won't be. Where else is he going to go? Given his antics I suspect Billy Bowie won’t have him anywhere near Killie. Bowie has kept control with Phyllis McLeish and him being the main decision makers. If he wanted or needed to get Gall involved he’d have done it by now.

I have said this before but it has needed changed for years but because it was Talbot affected all the time nobody gave a f**k but on the odd year it was their team it was a scandal. I was hoping the new set up would resolve this but it has been worse You do realise a 38 game season was a one-off forced by circumstances? it'll revert to 30 games and your league season will be finished by early May going forward. The EoS still have a few Cup Finals to play, the last of which is 4th June. No issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep hearing about how prestigious this cup is but its an absolute joke. No prize money, home team keeps the gate in the earlier rounds, Tin pot pish Stick to the Junior Cup then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob A Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Don’t really get the season is too long argument Darvel are putting forward for withdrawing from the semi final. Sounds like a convenient excuse, if there are other reasons they can’t field a team, just come out and say it. They have shown a lot of disrespect to the trophy and other clubs who have all had long seasons. Certainly if I was a Darvel fan, I wouldn’t be happy, they haven’t exactly been overloaded with trophies over recent seasons, and I would want to see my team win every trophy they could. A final is always a good day out. What is the Darvel fans point of view on this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyg1977 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Well said Mick Kennedy don t often agree with you but your spot on with that statementOut of the 53 week season how many weeks did Darvel miss due to a bad pitch I would say about 7 if the pitch was upto standard it wouldn't have been that long its a sham of a club and hope they get hit hard for it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 First league game is Saturday 30th July. Pre season starting on 18th June seems awful early but I am not a fitness coach or manager.Surely due to late finishing of season could start back training at start of July and played cup semi final and final and still be at 100% come 30th July? I know when Meadow used to end up playing into June when got to Evening Times / West Cup Finals players would get extra couple of weeks off over summer so not starting back training until later in July but then did have luxury of League cup games to use for fitness before league started later in August. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No prize money, home team keeps the gate in the earlier rounds, Tin pot pish Well the SCC don't have £500k in the bank so they need to get the travel money that is paid to clubs from somewhere. Unlike the Junior Cup where small clubs can lose money if an away team makes a long journey and hardly anybody turns up to watch, small clubs in the SCC don't lose out. 16 hours ago, archieb said: WoSFL are pushing for a change to the gate money arrangement. If the other leagues persist in wanting to keep the current rule I'd be very interested to know how they justify doing so. Fair enough because neither SCC or Junior Cup have the best arrangement. Basically needs to be a split gate but only if there's actually enough gate money. Edited May 31, 2022 by Ginaro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
