sweep

Played there in the late sixties and early seventies . Loved it big bath and open fire . As a young man it was great to be playing at these parks. I remember a lurcher chasing a rabbit across the park during the game .

O.K.

Having looked at the fixtures it is dog eat dog. In my opinion Saltcoats ,Royal Albert , newmains and Carluke will go down along with two from three, from Lugar Dalry and E.K. but hey six teams relegated it has NEVER been heard of. Why were the leagues not more evenly balanced at the outset?

I thank you for your opening statement. I am glad to see that a contentious and uninformed post had attracted so much attention. The post was designed to draw attention

I have been watching games as I do as often as possible Tomorrow I will be at Cove. Then it will be back to the west of Scotland league I have been at Tranent., Newtongrange, and I have also seen Forfar United this year and ken whit there are at least six or seven west league sides that are as good if not better than most teams from the Lowland league

Billy you are correct but in no way I am having a go at Lowland league clubs I respect all clubs. I question the way the league was set up .

I will now ask the question are there not far more capable teams in lower divisions

Oh! The McLeish report and am I meant to adhere to an individuals report and not a consensus of opinion

Never

What has my membership to do with this?

Why would it not be when we have so many good teams that were ignored

When the Lowland league was formed a huge question mark hung over my head. I asked myself why are no top Junior sides being asked to participate. I was taken aback by the way the league was formed. We had top sides in Ayrshire, Central, The East, Tayside, Fife and the north that were not include in its formation. Perhaps it was something to do do with the word Juniors. Who made the decision to form this feeder league? as a stepping stone to possible Scottish league football and to introduce the pyramid system .I have nothing against the Pyramid system but question the way the Lowland league was set up. Today I look at the Lowland league and I see Tranent JUNIORS sitting proudly at the top of the league I saw Tranent play last year and they are a very good side. They beat Darvel to secure their place in the Lowland league. I honestly believe that a number of very good JUNIOR sides were ignored and denied status when the Lowland league was set up . Perhaps somebody can explain why

Lugar v Kello

That is some result

Any Petershill players sent off? How many penalties?

Lugar created some good chances as well and like EK hit woodwork Your keeper had a good save early doors when the lad burst through and the Lugar keeper had two excellent saves. The ordering off should not have been as the E.K player was well offside when the lugar player pulled him back. Like most people at the game I thought a draw was a fair result

You must have been at a different game from me there was nothing in the two teams

It was never offside . Question is that boy in Gaols for Cumberauld the Rutherglen keeper

Is the Darvel pitch drained into the river Irvine? If so the level of the river may play a part in water retention. It takes two or three years for new drainage to draw properly.

Shotts Lugar off

Good victory. That may silence the critics

This is very unfair on a man who has dedicated so much time and money to the game. I remember his playing days and his spell at Lugar as manager where he had a good competitive team. Three defeats does not constitute change

Lugar 1 Gartcairn 2 FT

You are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. Kennie people fail to look at the situation from other teams positions. They are only interested in their own. League C is down to ten. More to follow ?time alone will tell
