Shocked to see Petershill in the league position that there in. What's been happening there this season?

Our next 3 league fixtures are away from home along with an away West tie. If we get an away draw in the Scottish then we will be away for all 5 Saturdays in November. It will be a case of wait and see if our games are on. That’s some run of fixtures away from home

If I interpret this correctly & it means what I think it’s supposed to say then I can assure you I’m not “Spanks

Starting to come into that time of year where weather will play a big part on fixtures & I’m trying to plan what game I’ll take in. Anybody have any concerns of their games being off or know for certain if it will be on?

Not a Girvan fan but I think that the club need to stick with the current manager, there going through an unprecedented state of affairs with injuries and when you look back through the results they have beaten some teams in the league convincingly, 1 of whom is in the top three. Can’t help but feel that when they have access to their players things are going to be on the up for the club.

I heard this is the reason that Peter left Whitletts. I think it will be a good appointment. Has Premier League experience with both Girvan & Cumnock and been in the game a vast number of years.

Glencairn v Cumbernauld is definitely the pick of the fixtures in the Championship today. If I wasn’t going to the Talbot v Hurlford game I may have taken a wee travel. 2 good footballing teams from what I’ve seen of them. All the best.

I travelled all the way to Largs last night for the game to be abandoned. At least I had an enjoyable fish & chips.

Until any form of statement comes out that’s very true.

I’ve heard rumours that Darvel have already lined up a shortlist of managers including Paul Cameron (already at the club & apparently has an interest in managing), Greg Gallagher (well documented the great job he did at Craigmark & played with a number of the boys now at Darvel) & Scott Clelland (previously been manager of the club & let the lm into this division by winning the previous ADL a couple of seasons ago) to take the reigns until the end of the season where a decision will be made for the future of the club & the committee hoping to bring in current Rossvale manager Gordon Moffat.

Would be good to see Scott get another shot. Did well at Darvel, didn’t have the best of time at Girvan then wasn’t given a chance at Lugar. Seems sensible to promote from within to carry on continuity. Can’t see Peter going for it & if he did I imagine it would be to fill time as I believe he views himself as a manager for Premier League team s now. Greg Gallagher could be a good appointment, still young but has a really good record & worked wonders at Craigmark. Either way Whitletts is a very well run club & I think they’ll be in safe hands.

Given the job that he’d done I’d be surprised if he wasn’t back involved with a club very soon. I expect he’ll have a few offers/enquiries.

Surely not!?! i only said the other week that they were a surprise this year as to how well they were doing as everyone (including myself) had them as automatic relegation candidates & written off by Christmas. Clearly a league promotion to the Championship, outwith the relegation places, still in the WoS Cup & last 16 of the Scottish Cup with a club that has next to no money quite clearly isn’t good enough in modern day football. Has there been any statement from the club?

Highlights definitely made it an interesting view for a neutral, I've said before that if Craigmark can get someone to put the ball in the net then they could trouble most teams in the league. I don't think they'd be challenging for promotion by any means but could be a comfortable mid table side................ if they could put the ball in the net. It's not even as if their not creating chances, just terrible misses. Also note that's yet ANOTHER penalty miss.

Would it not be beneficial for the progression of Scottish football as a whole if their was the pathway in place from junior to League 2, as the English conference does. i do feel that the professional structure is all wrong in its current model. No need for as many divisions as there is.
