Neilston 4 Cumnock 3 Cumnock up 2-0 then 2-1 2-2 3-2 cumnock 3-3 and finally 4-3 neilston cumnock had 3 players sent off

Brilliant game for the neutral. Cumnock looked in control until they conceded the first goal and it all went horribly wrong. They looked a different team after Neilston pulled the score back to 2-1. Some really stupid sending offs which cost them big time in the end. Superb goal to win it for Neilston right at the end.
Was really impressed with that Ritchie Barr, I know we were supposed to be interested him pre-season, he looked class.

The big change in Neilston's fortunes came when Michael Fulton (in the blue boots) was moved up front after Chris Seenan went off injured in the first half. That was a major factor in levelling the scores 2-2 by half time. He's too good a player to leave bogged down in the heart of the midfield.

Fulton really impressed me on the left wing against Lok.

His footwork is brilliant. Like a lot of players over the years he can be guilty of taking that extra touch or taking on that extra man, being a bit too fancy. Like yesterday when he rounded the Cumnock keeper and rather than just rolling it in, Michael crashes it off the underside of the bar.

But I suppose like all talents like that we have to live with it because he wouldn't be the same player if he lost that showman side.

Well done on your own result yesterday!!

yeah your prob right , guess the fact that cumnock had 3 players sent of didn't have any bearing in the game. feck wit an arse

Hey Turnip Heid, who said the 3 sending offs didn't have a bearing? I said the turning point came when Fulton was pushed up after almost half an hour. Up until then we were 2-0 down and clearly second best to Cumnock. At that point there was no way Neilston looked capable of getting even a consolation goal. We then 'won' the last hour 4-1 so aye actually, I'd say it was a bit of a change in fortune eh?

So let's deal with a few red card facts eh?

Neilston were already down to 10 men when Cumnock lost their first player so no big advantage handed to Neilston there!

After Cumnock lost another man they then went 3-2 up - again hardly a major turning point in Neilston's favour!

By the time Cumnock lost their third player right at the death they were already trailing 4-3 so that red card didn't even play a part in Neilston going 4-3 up!

Of course the three red cards have a bearing on the final result but Neilston had already turned the game long before Cumnock lost their first player. And that's the point I was making Turnip Heid. Cumnock were lucky not to be 3-2 down a minute after the restart and they hadn't even lost a player yet!

If you re-read my post that you've replied to, you might notice that I said that Fulton was the major factor in the scores being levelled at 2-2. No red cards had been given by that time so god only knows why you're slabbering about them! Were you at the game caller?
