Stillseekfedup Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 One person at one club put up a banner. Glenafton will be slated as they will be liable for the behaviour of one of their fans. Does anyone honestly think the club knew about the banner and sanctioned or condoned it? On the game itself I felt we were the better team until Talbot scored and then we offered very little.

Guest Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The original post does hit the nail on the head as to why I would never regularly go to senior football, Junior football is a much more relaxed environment, if fairly intensive at times. As for the banner at yesterday's game, a lot of people quite rightly picking up on the homophobic nature and disparaging tone directed at Tucker. However, anyone who lives in the west of Scotland knows exactly what the reference "NO SURRENDER" means. The banner was utterly abhorrent on many levels, none more so than bringing this message to a Junior game. This showed us that in all grades there is unsavoury behaviour, but many of us go to the Juniors so as not to see or hear this kind of stuff. Yesterday did not show the Glens in a good light, their repertoire of songs seemed to be solely littered with derogatory references to Talbot. At the final whistle they disappeared like snaw aff a dyke, leaving about half a dozen, not even to give their own team a clap. Last years Scottish final was in stark contrast with a substantial amount of Talbot fans clapping both teams at the cup presentation. Glens have come a long way, but part of being a top club is to act like a top club, it will be interesting to see how this all pans out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheasant plucker Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Supporters everywhere should follow the magnificent examples set by the Talbot fans.

Obviously with Scotland game on at 5pm a lot of folk were in a rush to get home to watch it. Back when Meadow were decent and we beat Talbot in Ardagh Cup majority of Talbot supporters left before presentation. No big deal. The Glenafton fans mainly sang about their manager and one of their players to be fair and Talbot fans only found their voice near full time.

They are all similar, the juniors are no better or no worse than any of these other teams. You're deluded if you think Junior football is special. Junior football is special.

There's so much negativity on this forum, and there's a lot about Junior football that could be better, but sometimes it's nice to be reminded that it's special.

Much more valid comparisons to be found at the clubs who get crowds not too dissimilar to ours but have the ability to go upwards therefore don't have poor facilities. For all I love Newlandsfield as a venue, there's so much about it that needs changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
