Used to be pretty good on here - a forum to discuss and debate a level of ‘football’ many of us have been brought up with and love. Unfortunately (IMHO) it has increasingly become a chat room for sad righteous and conceited politico’s. I’m sure I can survive without it - I’m out

The pyramid rehash was undoubtedly going to take time for levels to sort themselves out. The WOSFL divisions all seem to have worked ok and gradually working out, although you could argue that little has changed for many apart from the introduction of some strange new cup tournaments. The Premier Division in particular seems to have become more competitive evidenced by match results harder to forecast. Pluses seen are a general commitment to upgrade facilities and become a bit more professional by the clubs who can afford to do so. The negatives that loom up almost unanimously in talking to fans at our level are the is the loss of a much loved Scottish Cup tournament for our level and for those in the top division the total lack of enthusiasm over the prospect of ‘going up’ to play in the Lowland League. I’m sure some will have other views but those two points have been the clear negatives I have consistently heard

Nice big bloke but unless there are two of them he’s just no very good at fitba

Red herring

Typical comment from a supporter of would be / never really have been Clydebank who continue to think they are something but everybody else thinks are really pretty pathetic.

a wee jaunt to NC or Darvel?

Dead rubber today at Darvel but an entertaining game nonetheless. Very intriguing as to what next season will hold for Darvel following a really bizarre season, however the ground improvements and facilities can’t fail to impress and are a great legacy for the future

Great photo’s big man

Was going to raise the same question re this Saturday’s game. i’m not up on what was all behind the ticket situ arising but no way will the Darvel ground be remotely near capacity. Beith would probably have their usual numbers & a good few of them are older fans who wouldn't get a concession admission so they might not even bother as League now done. Wouldn't think any ‘waverers’ from anywhere would go through the bother of the on line rigmarole. You have to think Darvel will be the losers here, albeit probably not a fortune, if they persist. Could a Darvel person in the know please advise

Beith have surely shown everyone how it’s possible to win a league, after scrambling to stay up the previous season, and having an indifferent start to to the campaign. ‘Leicester City’ seasons can be achieved via some astute singings, cultivating a great team spirit & all the stars aligning. Beith is a small town, with a small budget by comparisons to most of their opponents but they have won the day. Well done Beith & management team

Think I’ll hang on to see if The Hankies slip out to 187/100

Wonderful that’s the focus for you after 90 minutes

Officials hardly ever give Talbot a penalty at Beechwood

East winner will go through without playing anyone & have all those potentially mouthwatering games to look forward to in front of big crowds
