ExiledLichtie Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 58 minutes ago, LongTimeLurker said: It will no doubt get treated that way by people who are unaware of the scale of financial doping involved with Darvel. Hopefully it provides some food for thought as to whether lower division SPFL, HL and LL clubs should enter so many rounds after the rest of the entrants. An open draw in the earlier rounds to come up with 20 clubs to face the top tier in the round of 32 would make for a more interesting competition. Arbroath played Darvel last season and we absolutely swatted them aside. They were neat and tidy, just like tonight, but physically, we bullied them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the club's that aren't quite at that level are making a complete arse of the off the pitch decisions both Queens Park and Edinburgh could be in the top two leagues next season's with brand new grounds that are suitable for League 2 or League 1 at a push. Even if not expanded, it should be automatic promotion, not the ridiculous East West South play offs. Then there's the OF colt teams shoehorned into the LL, a starting position for when the OF leave the Scottish League but still want to have an influence in it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic for Darvel though, they play some neat and tidy stuff, and they've done brilliantly! This is the biggest cup shock in my lifetime.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Goodwin saying he doesn’t want to be disrespectful to Darvel and then goes on to say “They got their noses in front and then defended for their lives” They did far more than that Jim. They outplayed your team for huge swathes of that game. I might have actually felt a bit sorry for him in that interview if he hadn’t said that, but he can get himself tae f**k. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 26 minutes ago, gavin_3110 said: Don't get me wrong, it's a massive achievement for Darvel and still a huge upset, but I think it's far from the biggest. I think that Darvel team is better man for man than the Albion Rovers one who put Motherwell out in 2013, Motherwell were also in good form in the league at the time. It will certainly have been more expensively assembled, I don't mean that as a slight, just an observation. The perception of teams like Darvel is skewed by the extremely limited promotion and relegation at the lower levels. They are far better than sides two, or even three tiers above them. Time for expanded promotion and relegation, there are a lot of teams who need to find their true level in either direction. Darvel certainly have more money than that Rovers team who beat Motherwell (and took Rangers to a quarter final replay) This one is the bigger achievement, IMO - not because of the greater gap in tiers, but because Darvel treated it like another day at the office, insisting on playing the tie at their own ground, playing to win from the get-go, and bossing their full-time opposition for 90 minutes. Ours was a bit more of a smash and grab job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
