    Darvel Juniors 2019/2020

    The reality is that there probably will be a challenge by Darvel in the future. If there isn't then it will have been a massive waste of money. However, it all comes down to whether it will be enough or will have longevity. The Darvel fans bleated on about the Sectional cup win at Beechwood last season like they were the new champeens. One win can happen but it's over the piece that counts.

    Where I think the problem lies is the personalities and the kidology involved.

    1) A manager who talks about himself more than about his team.

    2) A chairman who pumps money in on a whim. And saying he insists on the kits being washed at home to save money is nonsense. Barely 10 minutes later Mr. Kennedy said GPS trackers were on order for the players. If success doesn't come then the money will stop. At least that's what history shows.

    3) Club officials being blatantly disrespectful to other clubs. There IS such a thing as bad publicity. Ordinary fans fine, but senior officials shou!d show some restraint and common decency.

    4) Whatever the situation in playing staff has been, Darvel are currently in the second tier and haven't beaten any top teams yet. The progress the club have made is fantastic but the same can be said about plenty of other clubs e.g. Rossvale, Cumbernauld, Neilston etc. but they don't beat their chest like you guys do. Until you take some big scalps it's all just hot air.

    5) And finally, on the subject of hot air, just because you all blow smoke up each others keester at every given opportunity doesn't make you winners or "the most talked about club in the Juniors". It just makes you all look like you're getting carried away.

    It's quite a simple formula really. Get the results on the pitch, show a little humility and stop telling us all how amazing you all are and you will be taken seriously. At least I will take you seriously at that point.

    Well said.

    lt's hard to predict the winners of League 2.  l strongly fancy The Field for promotion and expect the title race to go all the way with VOC having a big say. 

    Can't wait until the big KO on the 3rd of August.

    Was that Albion Rovers first team you played last night or reserves/21's etc?

    Stephen Brown referee...well former referee

    Good point ,always found Callum Scott 2 b the worst.

    100%.  When I've seen Stephen being 'arrogant' he's only ever gave as good as he's got from the players, and rightfully so.  The likes of Cullum Scott tries and talk to players as if they are his kids, pointing fingers in their faces etc - quickly loosing control of the game in spells...

    I don't want to just make this about Callum, he's one of a few.

    A bit arrogant and cheeky at times yes, but overall a decent referee when I've seen him.   Is he any more arrogant than the likes of Callum Scott - most likely he isn't.  Could the SJFA have spoke with Stephen and give him a chance to sort it?  Or did they try this already I don't know...

    Overall - IMO the Juniors are worse off in terms of officials for this.

    Summer transfer speculation 2019

    Will Talbot make any new signings, or just try to keep the same squad, maybe with a small pay rise for their achievments.Do other fans fear Talbot could dominate the next few seasons if that team stays together, or maybe Tucker will produce another diamond, he has a knack for finding a player other clubs seem to miss.

    They are strong in every area - at this moment I don't know who from any other team in the surrounding league/leagues is going to come in and take a jersey.  Also, a big question would be are more singings necessary or would it just unsettle a great balance that exists?  However, as you said, Tucker seems be good at finding gems.
