Love it and only on pie and bovril Darvel beat montrose 5-2 does that no count ? There in league 1 they also beat clyde 4-0 there classed as league 1 but are really league 2 so I wouldn’t count that but they would defo hold there own with your alloa’s & Edinburgh cities that I would guarantee! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who have came in from Peterhead & kelty were no getting there game & there league 2 sides been kind to them! 9 minutes ago, Ih8rangers said: Darvel beat montrose 5-2 does that no count ?

Ah right. So you don't have players capable of playing in League 1/Championship but your side would hold their own against League 1 sides. Makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I'm not saying Darvel aren't a good side for one minute. However I do think anyone using cup ties as evidence of how a team would do in a league tends to be an idiot. Would Stevenage be mid-table in the Premier League down south because they beat Villa? Would 2013 (or whenever the Tony Watt game was) Celtic have won La Liga that season because they beat Barcelona? Bonnyrigg Rose are a good example of the gulf between non-league and league football. They kept near enough the same squad that, deservedly and impressively, won the Lowland League title last year. They are now struggling big time in League Two, have shipped out a load of first team players from the LL title win and have been forced to rebuild their squad with some more SPFL experience. Nobody knows how this Darvel squad would get on in League One because they aren't playing League One teams week-in, week-out. Would I fancy them to finish above Peterhead and Clyde? Absolutely. Would I fancy them to finish above Kelty and Queen of the South? Not really. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is rumoured that Craig Moore is on 1k a week and got a Black Rooster franchise to sign. Not sure what your point is here as it is very clear they are dropping down for £. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUMBER 7 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 McGlynn Falkirk manager in an interview was asked after the last league game against Alloa about the forthcoming Cup Tie against Darvel. He said, Falkirk would need to be well prepared and Darvel's results against Montrose and Aberdeen showed that they were a good side. He went on to say they had some players capable of playing at league two and maybe a couple at league one level, but they were only playing at Darvel because of the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full squad got a suit from Slaters from when they got to the Scottish Cup final which is a decent perk too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
