Truthfully the one team in this league this season i thought stood out regarding giving out a mauling was Wishaw at the Beltane. Proof of that was Wishaw's Scottish Cup run. Do Wishaw deserve to win the league? Give me a shout in about 10 games time. By then we'll all know how it's looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could give an insight into who most people think deserve to win the league ! Really tough question i think, as whilst we (St Roch's) have taken a few hidings...as a football fan, we generally tend to look at our own teams failings, rather than the merits of the opposition. I hate Wishaw, nothing personal, but so many times i've been there to come back with my tail between my legs. Their 5-1 mauling of us, would indicate the best team...but again, i looked at ourselves that day...an for a whole lot of reason we made it easy for them. Rossvale were very good when we beat them, and not too impressive when they beat us. Bens in both games vs the Candy shoulda, coulda, woulda....and despite bossing the majority of both games, took 1 point from the encounters. Neilston. They stole a point from James McGrory and last night...well they have already intimated they felt they deserved the draw last night. I'd say Wishaw, but i cant wait till the return to either extinguish or extol that opinion. I think Rossvale are still favourites....but Neilston (until last night) form had been excellent. Just glad to be in the mix. Mon the Candy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games v the top 4 + Wishaw, and Rossvale have been fairly even with no team managing 2 wins. This time next week it will all be a lot clearer.

combineharvester Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Wouldn’t say been stand out team as a lot of teams capable of taking points off each other performance wise St Rochs against us at there ground were decent Shid hv pumped us but couldn’t finish chances and I’ll agree when we beat Shotts away I thought they looked decent outfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSS-THISTLE-76 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 A tremendous league this season and shows how well us lower division clubs can perform week in and out.There has been some terrific fixtures been and gone.And several more to encounter before it all finishes.The vales games vs shotts were sore ones.Then we had a 9 man last minute loss to the candy.Then of course we took a last minute point off the bens.Last two fixtures were massive for us away to Neilston and wishaw.Not lose either of these were very important but of course one win at either would have gave us a bit more breathing space, for a couple of days anyway.Best team against ourselves has to be shotts, nullified our midfield and forward line simple.Good luck to all the teams for their remaining fixtures this will run on for several weeks yet I am afraid.

Glenconner Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Another team still capable of reaching 57 points is Blantyre Victoria. Wishaw still out there with 18 league games to play. Who's to say what the final placings might look like. Possible maximum points for a few teams. Rossvale 64pts Benburb 61 pts St Roch's 65 pts Neilston 64 pts Blantyre Vics 57 pts Wishaw 73 pts Still all to play for with Wishaw being able to drop say 15 points and still be looking to a top 4 spot.

Wasnt at the Shotts game, we edged it 2-1 and heard good things....have to look at Port Glasgow first of course, but travelling to Shotts for a Monday night game is a toughie now doubt!

the shire Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 We’ve not played wishaw yet and only played neilston once but for me Rossvale were best team we’ve played solid at the back and very fast from middle to front and play some decent football also thought Blantyre were very good a few weeks ago especially out wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the total for auto promotion will be around 57-60 neilston and wishaw still to play twice neilston and Blantyre at weekend also even at that think teams will drop points to others... as posted b4 going to be tasty end one game at a time is the only way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 4 this week will still be in the top 4 next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochstar1920 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Personally I think it is gona be a tough ask for wishaw with the amount of games to squeeze in, in a short period of time. They have had a fantastic season with the cup run and I wish them the best in the run in but hopefully not at the Candys expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffiti on the wall Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 For me easily Wishaw I thought they were excellent against us in a 5-1 drubbing and played some excellent football in contrast Benburb Neilston and shire for me are just long ball merchants and very ugly to watch and even harder to play against and that's not the kind of football I would pay on a weekly bias to watch yes they are effective at what they do and different styles can win games but I prefer my football on the ground not in the sky so for those reasons I hope the top 3 at the end are 1. St Rochs 2.wishaw 3.rossvale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxman Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Yoker thoroughly deserved their win especially on their 2nd half performance. They also had a perfectly good goal disallowed 1st half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilston back to winning ways today with a win over Blantyre Vics. That's only 1 defeat out of the last 14 for Neilston. No surprises at Lesmahagow with Rossvale running out winners. St Roch's 1-0 up and end up beaten 2-1. Benburb on cup duty. And not to be forgotten, Wishaw, making a very slow start on the 20 games with 1 pt so far from a possible 9. Start of the run Wishaw had a possible 78 point tally, that's now dropped to 70 at a time when the top 4 teams are bunching together in the run in.
