Raffs Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Are the Kello Rovers of the mid 1970s the best Junior team who never won the cup. A team full of star players who swept all before them. Who could ever forget Hitchell, Brown, Black, White, Shenning to name but a few. I think it would take a lot to beat the Super K as the best.

Nugent4nil Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The Irvine Meadow side of maybe 5-10 years ago must be up there, won leagues cups etc, packed full of top players couldn't win the Scottish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quarter final defeat to Largs probably being the most disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wile E Coyote Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Just now, Shanner said: Cracking Kilbirnie teams of the late 80's losing out to Talbot a couple of times iirc. Would agree with this. Talbot beat them in the semi and then the final the following year. After the Final defeat the team broke up and Kilbirnie have never been as good since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to be the way of things. Lost to lesser opposition s often as they did to the bigger sides and never really had convincing cup runs. Dominated the league for a bit though.

A.M Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 According to some of my Bonnyrigg pals , the Bonnyrigg Rose team of 1972 were very good and unlucky to lose in the final that year ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eamonn Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 he was a bad Ladeside manager he ran the team like an amateur pals team , same players every week every season ! Walker came and he tried to stir things up and more chaos ensued .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fan of the juniors Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Cracking Kilbirnie teams of the late 80's losing out to Talbot a couple of times at the business end of the cup iirc. Was a wonderful side that we had & only naivety , a touch of greediness & a tad idiocy cost us. . Talbot went on to greatness we went to mediocrity & then George Wa***r hit . What would have been if our committee at the time pushed the boat out a bit more & offered Pirie , Lyden & Mills the extra few quid a week instead of letting them join our biggest rivals at the time .Talbot won 3 Scottish in a row . We got to a semi , a final & 2 quarters in 4 years . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Pennel Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 ^^^Sorry Muggo, I've got to correct you here...I know you were only young at the time, but you've fallen into the trap of believing a wee bit of urban myth. Chub & Hughie left Ladeside to go (with our blessings) to Partick Thistle. They were not "let go to our biggest rivals" by the committee. They signed for Auchinleck Talbot from Partick Thistle...not from Ladeside. Also,...and someone can correct me if I'm wrong...Gordon was always an amateur at Ladeside and could go wherever he wanted at the end of the season. I'm pretty sure Mr. Knox would've tapped him up because he was an astute manager at the time and would understandably have been looking at all the best players for his own team but that is beside the point. Gordon drove a Porsche in 1986 (courtesy of Helga's parents)...do you really think he would have gone "for a few extra quid" if Sconie hadn't been breaking up that team anyway ? Gordon saw Calum Campbell & Morton Milne arriving and thought he'd have better chances elsewhere. As it turned out...he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
