jim bob Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I was at the Girvan v Whitletts game yesterday and usually games between these two sides are very competitive, however I was stunned by the 11 Nil score line. I am too long in the tooth to read too much into this result but listening to some of the comments from the home fans that were just along from me were interesting to say the least. The Girvan fans were having a debate amongst themselves about things that were going on with their team. Of most concern was the fact that Billy Thomson was in the starting line up and after a few goals went in why wasn't he making changes as to be honest the game was over after the first half hour. In fact 2 out of the 3 lads said they wouldn't be back which if I was a Girvan Fan would worry me very much. Yesterdays match was as if Girvan had just started their first pre season game and they were not ready for a game, which I find baffling. So at half time I went for a pie and a cuppa but their shop was shut further evidence that the club is struggling off as well as on the park. Surely with the hard times clubs are having and being a near local derby it was a good chance to earn a few quid? I enjoyed the result for my team but the atmosphere and comments around me indicates that this result will not be the last hammering that a usually well competitive Girvan team will receive. I hope I am wrong but I believe Girvan are in serious trouble ON and OFF the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Maybe losing SFA handout money now that everything revolves around club licensing has hit them hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilwinning Ranger Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Might get a lot worse before it gets better with Troon due at Hamilton Park in midweek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hristo Stoichkov Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'd expect a massive reaction on Wednesday night from Girvan after Saturday's score line. They'll certainly want to avoid anything like the same happening again. Good wee club with some good people, wish them all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 They pulled a goalie in off the street with 10 mins to go to ko. I dont think a proper keeper would have kept the score down much though. Im no sure if they were missing players aswell, but then so were we. We were ruthless in front in goal and scored some right cracking goals. Our 4 forwards got all 11 goals between them and could have had another half a dozen. We hit the post, had a couple disallowed and missed some sitters. Spoke to a couple of home fans down there and they weren't happy at the fact they had 3 boys on the bench who never even got on, but Thomson played the whole game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE63 exile Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Seen the score and wondered what the hell happened. Very unlike any team Billy Thomson manages to be on the end of a score line like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibster Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 In answer to the shop being shut on Saturday the holiday period hits Committees as well as players. The girls that normally do our shop were on holiday and due to the fact that at Girvan we do not have a big Committee like some Clubs something has to be sacrificed and on Saturday it was the shop. Hope this clears up any doubts that people are having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connolly81 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Wee Billy will sort things out down there for that I'm sure. As someone said it might get worse before it gets better but having worked with Billy I've no doubt he'll sort it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
