To be honest, I really couldn’t care about the toilets, pies etc. It’s the fact it’s a shit experience to watch football. View from one side of the ground, that in some places is broken up by 5 aside goals meaning there is areas you can’t stand. Flat viewing which means anyone standing at the barrier blocks the view for anyone who uses the porta cabin seating sections. There is plenty of space behind the fence at the dug outs for money to be spent to at least create elevated standing sections like Petershill have. I believe there was a ‘podium’ for the ref to pick the ball from when players walked out, you have a ‘score board’ between the dug outs, all vanity things, but meanwhile pumping money on players and leaving the paying punter with a shit place to watch football.

100% agree. Give me a trip to Meadow, Arthurlie, even Cumbernauld for all of the problems that is with two teams playing there vs Gartcairns of the world. Embarrassing that you pay to watch football at that place. its a boys club ground at best.

It’s not disrespect. I have seen every team in the league. Beith are better than every team they have left to play. You can down play this all you want, but after today the league is done. Talbot will not win every game between now and the end of the season.

If Beith don’t win the league from here it would be a collapse or bottle job. However Beith will win the league, regardless however you want to believe the difficulties of the remaining fixtures are for you.

There is no way the remaining games for Beith are 50/50, they are comfortably heading to the title and anything else would be a collapse that will not happen. 3 home games and Arthutlie on last day away who will likely be relegated by then Largs away is the tricky tie in the same way teams would have been looking at today. But one tricky tie and 4 bankers.

I appreciate it’s arithmetically possible for Beith not to win the league, however there is zero evidence any of the teams chasing can put the runs together to get a target on the board that would mean Beith couldn’t afford to drop points in their final games

That’s the title today for Beith. Not going to lose 3 games between now and the end of the season and 58-60 points will be enough for them. Fair play on them going back to back league titles. A lot of clubs will definitely feel what could have been if it wasn’t for a few sticky patches in the season. But Beith didn’t really have that and that’s won them the title.

I think the best run of wins this season is 6. Beith at the start, and then Talbot more recently. Would be a surprise if Beith won 6/6 now until end of the season, and equally with Talbots away run would be a surprise if they managed more than 6 wins never mind the full 8. A few weeks ago Clydebank manager said 60 points could do it so he was disappointed at their loss (think v Troon) as 4 wins could have got them to 60, I think he might have been right with that target.

Beiths max points now 66 (6 to play) Talbot 63 (8 to play) clydebank & st Cadocs 57 Beiths to lose still.

Largs won 1-0, up to 4th in the league. Form team now, more points in last 10 games than anyone else In their last 10

I am Happy that Pollok who aren’t as good as Talbot or Darvel keep beating them. Can’t imagine the scores if we were actually better than them both!

Two ties that could go either way. Talbot have history as a club in this comp, but not this current squad. Darvel have a decent record against them. Could see few goals in this game, Talbot more vulnerable at the back than they have been for a long time but Darvel not the same level as they once were either. Prob Talbot just to sneak it. JB v Lie… tough season for Arthurlie this season, but have had some decent results and have some good players. JB have a squad that should be performing much better, it looks like the team that can’t be bothered with the week in week out troubles of playing in the lower league but has a point to prove when it comes to a cup and a chance to play teams in higher leagues. That makes them slight favorites for me, but very marginal.

By the time game comes, Talbot fan’s will probably be 70-80% of the crowd

That could be a big issue, and is one of the problems with two leg Junior cup and a free week before. The cup tie could have been Friday / Tuesday. if the 2nd leg is called off, Darvel already have a midweek semi v Shotts to play as the west final is the weekend after and I assume that’s not movable with it being on a ground that will have been booked out for the final.

You commenting on Pollok, there’s a surprise. Must have taken time away from the ouija board and trying find someone who will let you put up floodlights
