gazza80 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 What's happening in Ayrshire these days , who's doing well and who should we be watching out for?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoBroccoli Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Well the premier league is nothing but a fucking farce because Hurlford Thistle are taking the piss. Many teams resort to long ball Stoke-tactics and it makes for horrible matches, to watch and to play in. Rank rotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hurlford are the Rangers of amateur football - good players playing far below their natural level because they are being paid large amounts of "travelling expenses." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza80 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Must be teams that are on the up? A have read alot bout hurlford although in ma head it's good that Ayrshire teams do well in the big cups although if its affecting the league then that's no so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoBroccoli Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Beyond Hurlford's farcical monopoly, there's a massive problem facing Ayrshire teams- the quality of the parks. I can count on one hand (no, one finger) the amount of very good pitches in amateur football. They're all bogs and swamps with grass that's too long, or just poorly maintained in general. It's atrocious to play on most of the time and this usually makes for a horrendous spectacle as well. There used to be a good competition in the leagues, with some teams playing some lovely stuff, but these clubs are part of a swiftly shrinking minority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEY_SIDNEY Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Played against Galston (probably 2nd to hurlford down there) and lost 5-1... Genuinely if we had played them on a 3g park rather than bog (our own silly manager took them there) it woulda been close... We are just a wee Churches League team...We also destroyed Mossblown 6-3 (going on 12) the round before.Hurlford are the only team worth mentioning nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Matt Le Tiss Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Interesting take on a 5 - 1 defeat...... must be some player to think that clubs like Galston , Clark Drive and Tiber are not worth mentioning. Still don't imagine they will lose any sleep over it, Galstons names in the hat. Worth noting that the AFA select side beat central select in the recent annual match, I was there and it was fully deserved, not a single Hurlford player on show but feel free to judge a region based on 2 games one of which you were horsed in and appear to be in denial about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza80 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Tiber have always been a team I was fond of n a see there re building there squad , as things go I thi k teams take turns in who's going to be winning it and at somepoint there will be a new power house in aryshire and aI dont think it will be too far away.... Also a guy a work with thinks the other teams so called big players don't turn up against hurlford so wat chance they got really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not in denial about anything my friend. It was a deserved win on the day, no doubt. Just feel if we played them on a bigger park it could have been (previously said woulda) closer. Physical team who play for knock on and long ball - which was effective against out tiny team.The Galston players were saying there wasn't 4 goals in the game, but again, deserved for Galston. However as you say Galstons name is in the hat and that's all that matters. Its the same teams making the last 16 every year in scottish and west, that's why i meant its not worth mentioning.

Shug1 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Galston have struggled this year on poor grass parks (hence the reason teams want to take them to bogs).....Very interesting take on a 5-1 defeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Matt Le Tiss Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Should have played them on 3G would have beat them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug1 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 ha, all im saying is Galston are a far better side on 3g, so for you to say ud beat them on a 3g park (after being beat 5-1 on a coo field) makes no sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I've asked this before here, and didn't get a reply but can anyone shed any light on what happened to Heathside AFC? When I played in the Ayrshire league around about 15 years ago they were always one of the best teams on and off the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placidcasual Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Where were they from? I've never heard of them. They were from Ayr, played at Rozelle from memory. They won the Scottish Cup I think around about the mid 1990's. I remember playing against them once and getting absolutely rag-dolled by Jimmy McMillan (ex Talbot) for 90 mins. Edit - they won the Scottish in 1991/92 and 94/95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Matt Le Tiss Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Heathside were a good team think they jacked it in early on in the 2000s when they were struggling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
