Blackie Gold

We wanted to stay in the WOSL so we could play BIG derby games against Pollok, Clydebank and the Glens.

Chance also of winning the Big Pond Cup.

Wednesday nights game was Talbot's 53rd and they looked like a side who had played 53 games. Hopefully after Saturday the players get a well earned rest and the squad is a bit fresher for two big games ahead.

You wish!!!! We are in the final of the two biggest competitions in non-league football. It will all calm down by the weekend.

I'm sure it is in the South region.

I think you better look into your local history before you mention poaching. http://www.ayrshirehistory.org.uk/Poaching/poaching.htm

Talbot have released photographs of the John Holroyd Wall which salutes all the work John did for the Beechwood Regeneration Committee. The big man who started this thread raised over £20,000 which was spent on various projects at our ground. His wheeling and dealing from his wee shop at the ground brought in money which went mostly on the lights and medical room expenses. The wall is made up of tiles that the supporters paid for to get their name on the memorial with all the money going to future projects. A great man and good friend, he's sadly missed.

Thought Samson had a good game even though playing wide. He tracked back when asked and covered some distances. Was unlucky not to score which I think he hesitated due to be possibly called offside, but saying that it was a good save from the keeper.

Looks like we will be in a battle on Saturday as my research shows that Sauchie look like being a decent side. They beat Fraserburgh in the Scottish and have Troon, Linlithgow and East Kilbride's scalp in the Challenge Cup.

Canny beat a Talbot set-to on a Darvel thread.

It will be interesting to see highlights of the lead up to the Bens first goal as I thought the big No5 deliberately handballed the ball in the centre of the pitch. It's maybe this handball that is question or maybe I'm mistaken.

I find it strange that all the ex-seniors who left the SFL to play for Mick, the badge and the £5 expences might find themselves back where they came from.

I'm dissapointed in the demise of Andy25, but heres hoping he returns because although I didn't agree with a lot of his posts, he did bring up some points that in an ideal world would be worth talking about. Unfortunately he fell foul of the toe the company line brigade and he removed himself. I find it sad that if you have an opinion on this thread that doesn't fall into line with certain others then the wringing of hands start and low and behold your a non-supporter. I no doubt believe Andy is an avid dyed in the wool Talbot fan who makes it to games a lot more than others so can anybody tell me why is he not entitled to his opinion?

We have been the big fish for long before Tucker, and that shit used to be uttered when Willie Knox was the manager.

Seems you lads from Yoker's ground sing from the same hymn sheet.

Ha Ha as long as there's clubs like yours competing were always going to be the big fish.

It's as funny as your mob promoting the virtues of the Scottish pyramid system and all it has to offer.

People will be able to make their own mind up when they watch us on TV on the 5th of June in the final of the Scottish Junior Cup (again)

Wouldn't say that m8, Glenafton would be more than happy to rain on our parade. Darvel played their hardest game tonight.

As a matter of interest is it Kilwinning you seemingly h8, as I find it rather strange that an OF arsecheek would be interested in lower league football, unless its an arsecheek that lacks the bus fare to the east end.

So if it was politely put it would be the referee has the right to administer punishment even though the incident took place after an infringment seconds earlier. That's all I needed to know.

I think you will find Darvel lost to Cumnock, Hurlford, Buffs and Pollok as well as drawing with Clydebank and Meadow between the 4th August and 11 September I don't see where your pitch scenario comes into play.

So your answering my question with a question?

Can anybody explain how the referee booked Bryan Boylan for simulation when he had already been flagged offside?

How do you keep 27 players happy other than a hefty wedge each week
