It wasn't.

I'm sure we both have what's best for the club at heart. I just happen to know a lot more about the inner workings of the club than you do. If you introduce yourself to me next Saturday I'll be happy to fill you in on what most of the other fans already know. [emoji106]

I feel the 6-week break from league matches from 5th January to last week has killed our momentum. Hopefully we can get back on track next week at home to Craigmark, as it's the same day as Rossvale v Benburb, while Cumbernauld are playing in the cup.

I refer you to the answer I gave four hours ago when you asked the same question.

A very frustrating afternoon for us today, and a real missed opportunity with Benburb and Rossvale both dropping points as well. I feared the worst when McRobbie hit the underside of the bar and the ball didn't go in. But hey, it's done and we move on to Craigmark next week. Hopefully we will have a few players back (McArdle and Smith at least, and hopefully Donaldson and Ryan Kerr as well depending on fitness). Ten cup finals for us.

Pictures and a full match report from today's 1-0 home defeat to Darvel Juniors (from the official club website) are here.

To be fair I was warning people all week that Darvel are a better team than their league position says.

There will be plenty of twists and turns to come, the other promotion contenders will drop points unexpectedly like we did today. Hopefully. [emoji849]

Cumbernauld have never been out of the promotion race, I said it last week. With a third of the season still to be played it would be silly to rule them out when they are in 4th place. Kilsyth probably needed to win today to haul themselves back into contention, it may just be too much for them now.

Ok.

I didn't accuse him of anything.

None of our injured players were in Valencia today, they were all at the match.

Disappointing ? Yes. Embarrassing ? I would never disrespect any club to say it was embarrassing to lose to them.

Yes, don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no complaints about the outcome. Darvel deserved their win, and their players will bear witness that I applauded every single one of them at full time as they came past me at the changing room door, and I also applauded them back out when they left after the hospitality.
