You really are quite a conceited chap aren't you. Everyone else is wrong and you are correct in your opinion. Nothing about having guts but plenty of saying it as it is. We have played the Bens twice this season albeit very early. We beat them 5-3 in the sectional and everyone was impressed with their football a couple of weeks later we faced them in the league and again they were excellent as the beat us. If they play the long ball against the Candy its probably because they think you have a weakness. Looking forward to our visit on Saturday which is a very tough game for us. Hope our football is pleasing on your eyes , if not , tough shite.

Thats a wee bit unfair. Almost to a man, posters have been praising Benburb. Only one person has accused the Bens of being a long ball team that i know of.

Outsmartarsed me there. Just you stick to your fixture list.

Hate to do it but it should be an English teacher .

Funny how opinions vary. I can only speak from what I have seen in our one off games and Benburb, Glencairn and Cumbernauld looked better against us than Rossvale. I accept you may have seen all theses teams more than i have this season but from what I have seen these 3 are the best in the league.

You don't like Benburb ??? I've a feeling most people would have guessed that mate

I believe Benburb deserve tremendous credit for where they are today. Nearly halfway through the league campaign and they are up there leading the pack. As i've said before they may implode but teams are going to have to step their game up to take anything from them. I know one poster in particular doesn't like their style of play but most teams would be delighted to be where they are at the moment.

A couple of weeks ago i said i thought Cumbernauld would win the league and then you lot go and pump them !! Great stuff from the Bens. A few people are waiting for them to implode but they just keep rolling along. Paul Lovering is a lunatic on the sidelines but he has had his team up for every challenge so far this season. New Tinto park is a fortress but they are also doing the business away from home. I don't want to jinx them but i think they are a certainty to go up.

Are you saying that Messi has watched the Bens?

Arthurlie competed well today against Cumbernauld but came up against a very good outfit. Having seen nearly every team in the league i think Cumbernauld are the best we have faced. Nice movement , a solid backline, speed and aggression in the right areas. A very poor decision from the ref today to send off Mushett for a second yellow where the Cumbernauld lad obviously dived but no complaints about the result. In my opinion Cumbernauld will go on and win the league. Arthurlie comfortably mid table but thats as good as it will get this season.

You throw the gauntlet down to the guy, he accepts, and he has no class?. You need to explain that one. You are a laughing stock and charity is the loser. Bluff called on keyboard warrior methinks.

If we can cut out the daft mistakes at the back we could win this one. We have improved since this game was first scheduled. If we had played Cumbernauld back then im sure they would have beaten us. If we are to win we really need to up our performance. Although we have won quite a few league games in a row, we haven't faced any of the stronger teams in that run.

Cheers mate. I really was only asking. I enjoy your posts on other subjects so just wondered why you didn't take part in this .

Can you tell me where you see a complaint in my post.? All i did was ask Glensmad a question. I was interested as to why he didn't give his predictions/ thoughts. That all , nothing more nothing less.

I don't ask for predictions. Ok. So you ask for peoples thoughts. More or less the same thing as you list the games.

I have noticed that you never give predictions but ask for everyone else for theirs. Is there a reason for this ? Your thoughts ?

Cheers mate. You have dodged a bullet there. Horrible place for a game of football. We played them there in the Scottish last season. Played in a snowstorm with absolutely no cover.

The game is being played at kilbirnie, Sorry mate thought it was at Gartcairn. Ok Kilbirnie win then.

Gartcairn could well win this one. Could and should have beaten Arthurlie last season. If it goes to a replay it will be a Kilbirnie win. Cairns park is poor and will not suit the Blasties at all. I heard they train at the Bens but the difference between the surfaces is night and day.

I agree he could possibly have given other teams a wee bit of credit.

Fair enough

I don't understand the apparent hatred of Darvel. Is it all because of Darvel Legend? The guy is obviously very passionate about his team and wears his heart on his sleeve. Not too long ago Kirkintilloch Rob Roy received the same kind of treatment because of Robroyguy. He stopped posting on here and the abuse towards his club has all but disappeared but like school bullies everyone has moved on to their next victim. Darvel are struggling and people are happy to put the boot in. From what i saw at our recent game with them, they are a decent bunch, who supported their team for the full 90 minutes. They deserve better results than what they have been getting and it will happen eventually. Darvel Legend never hides when his team is beaten ,unlike others on here . He has taken the mantle of best wind up merchant from Robroyguy. You all love the guy really.

Great post mate.

Shame the manager has walked but to be fair his players have let him down big time. Arthurlie are no great shakes but totally outplayed Darvel at times today. If it hadn't been for some weird decisions the score could have been very embarrassing for Darvel. Credit to their fans, very vociferous and the best support i have seen at Dunterlie for a long time. I spoke to a few of them after the game and they were very honest in their assessment of the game. Great result for Arthurlie.

Pretty fair assessment in my opinion. Watching the 1st half i was confident Arthurlie would go on and win by a couple of goals to spare. 2nd half Neilston pinned us back for long periods and looked like the team most likely to score a winner. I thought it was a very good game . A point apiece was the correct outcome.
