If you can't even try and realise my point then I'm afraid that you do fall into the good old fashioned ' junior thicko' category 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt that it's a diluted version of what it used to be, but in our opinion it is very much worth playing in and if we were to be lucky enough to win the cup it would unquestionably be the club's biggest achievement for 84 years. You can only play against the opposition put in front of you. Remember that this tournament included Auchinleck Talbot, Darvel, Hurlford and Cumnock. It's not the fault of the "dross" that they've knocked each other out on the way to this stage. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we don't agree that it is a "totally diluted tournament". It is not as big as it was, but your comment about the semi finalist clubs being "dross" were extremely offensive and didn't help you win any friends for your side of the debate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest riddy is that Hertha is arguing that the quality is poor when his own team rattled out in the 3rd Round to lower league opposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Yes, the quality is less than it used to be, but it's still a decent competition to be in. There are still plenty of good sides taking part. I particularly like this tournament as we're in a quite local league ourselves so this gives us the opportunity to have trips beyond Tayside. Unfortunately that didn't happen this year as in our first game we lost to St. Roch's, but these things happen in cup football. I'll still be looking forward to it again next season. Yes, I'd love it to be replaced with a proper Scotland-wide non-league tournament. But unfortunately that seems unlikely for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough Peter we just need to agree to disagree . I do stick by my comment though it's a dross standard of what it used to be, I get your ill founded nostalgia but come on it's not nearly close to what it used to be? You need to agree surely as I feel you're being very blind sided here.? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 So our poor run of form in February continues and we tumble out of the WoSFL Cup. We got away with a poor performance at Larkhall in the Junior Cup, but after a great December and January it's been a honkin' February. Bonnyton Thistle at home in the league for us next as we move into March, and we really need to find our December and January form again quickly. I'd better not say what I thought of the referee's performance today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 We are delighted to announce the return to Rutherglen Glencairn of striker Jay McKay from current WoSFL Premier Division leaders Beith Juniors. Jay was hugely popular with our supporters during his 5-year spell at the club from 2016 to 2021, during which he scored 55 goals in 122 appearances (102 starts). We are grateful to the secretaries of Beith Juniors and Petershill (his loan club) for their assistance in facilitating this transfer so smoothly. Jay is available for selection for this weekend's league match against Bonnyton Thistle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejackdaw Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Cracking wee player is jay with a good attitude and wholehearted commitment, maybe its a measure of the quality that our manager has built at beith that jay didn't get as much game time as he would have liked , however he will be really missed at bellsdale by all our fans and best wishes to him at RG.
