Our league will still have many twist and turns and the fact it’s competitive makes it and exciting year. We did only score with 2 mins ago but if anyone thinks that was a reflection of the game needs to have been there. We had around 80% possession and should have won the game comfortably, one of the most defensive displays I have seen from any side that we have played in my time managing the club. I suppose when you have had the last 2 weeks harestanes have had coming not to get beat was maybe their game plan. Good luck to everyone this weekend in their scottish ties From what I hear Mick the ball was a yard out in the build up to your goal.....so you had 100% possession off the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owenzy Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Can see shortlees beating them by a couple of goals, dumbarton a good strong team but more suited to grass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael - I like the way your teams play and obviously the best possession team in amateur football. Although, in my opinion, that can sometimes be a hindrance, there are times where it would suit to be a bit more direct and go hurt teams. Having said that the amount of trophies you have all won over the years, it's hard argue with what clearly works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that mate, but aslong as it’s progressive and with a purpose I want us to dominate the ball at all times. It doesn’t always work tho, but just my philosophy on how I want us to play, we work really hard on it at training. As you said it’s wokred ok over the last few years but there other ways to win football games that just my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best possession team I've came across in my amateur career, I thought we could hold a ball well haha, I like to think we're kinda like a Jack of all trades of a good standard but a master of none team, but gives us plenty to work on at training to get where we want to be...great side Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redondo Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Colville Park have been the team to beat for a good few years now in the amateur game and having watched them recently its clear to see why. Quite believe that as a team they work very hard on there possession dominant style of play but it also helps when you have a full squad of players who are all very comfortable on the ball. That squad is made up of some of the best players i have seen at amateur level, majority of them would walk into top level junior teams or even lower league senior teams. Its is alot easier to have a philosophy of this style of play when u have a squad full of that kind quality. With respect lesser teams need to find a way to combat that and also carry a bit of luck on the day which from what i hear Douglas did in the Scottish against CP. Im not having a dig and the guys involved at Colville deserve respect for where they have taken that club to, they have came along way from the team i used to play against.

NewBallsPlease Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 St patricks v alba for me tomorrow . St pats could go all the way this year. Shortlees game will be a cracker Think I’ll go to Shortlees v Dumbarton. Anyone able to say how Douglas’ and Sandys’ parks are looking? Oban and Maryhill Thistle games, on grass, both definitely playable and the others on 3G will go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let colville have the ball and sit in nice and tight and defend well. Seems they would have got the 3 pts barring a dodgy goal but can’t comment too much as I wasn’t at the game only going with what a guy said further up but I’m sure the gameplan was to contain colville and take your chances yes.
