not man of the match

Maybe, but at least Arthurlie are a likeable bunch who wouldn't resort to something like this.

I'm pretty sure that is already the case.

I have no issue with Talbot tbh.

How original.

Good on you for having some life goals. Could take some time to achieve, but stick at it.

You're a very strange person, but stay happy.

My original comment made it about the wider pyramid and not just the Junior Cup.

We'll agree to disagree. The EoS has made a better fist of it all than the WoS IMO.

It should be the aim to work towards a positive pyramid, for all clubs interested in such. If there are clubs, and I'm not saying there is, not interested in the bigger pyramid system, then revive the old Junior set up for them. It's baffling that everyone wanted to leave the West Region Juniors but many want to play in the Junior Cup. Who forced all these clubs to leave the West Region Juniors?

There is absolutely no doubt that he'd have been at Hampden.

Such is life!

That was exactly my thinking, no need for it.

All the more reason to have stayed in the setup they were in. I still see no reason why everybody had to go when in the weeks leading upto it, you were lucky if there were 16 interested in making the move.

Why enforce an 800/100 split? Make it 900 and sell what you can. Wouldn't blame any of the Talbot guys boycotting with the way this has been strung out.

I'd fully expect our folks to be looking at attaining bronze next.

The majority in tier 7 and below that have no interest in licensing etc. Obviously not all of them.

It's disrespectful to say Talbot aren't ambitious and to tar the full club by the comments of a couple of fans (if it was even said). However, I also agree with Vanderbilt that some clubs should have fought to keep and remain in the West Region Juniors.

We covered this a few weeks ago on here.

Apart from the handful of trophies we have won.

Even if Nicky Low was on £500 a week at Bankies, which he isnt, it was also put on here that it’s paid by a local business or something. So ultimately that would suggest he doesn’t cost Clydebank anything. Rumours at the time of his transfer were that Rossiter was on £600 a week, so he must be on £1800 a week at Burgh. That’s how this forum works, yeah?

All those figures seem to be public on here at some point, even though they are way off the mark. Nobody is at Clydebank for the money, that is a fact. I’m confident that our budget wouldn’t come in the top six in this league.

Then this confirms that you are a lunatic.

Oh yes they do!

Why? We wanted out of the Juniors, why would then want to stay in one of their competitions? Good luck to those that do, if it works for them.

It's nothing to do with arrogance, it's about making the choices that we see best for our club. We chose to leave the Juniors and move to the WoS, we left the Junior Cup behind as part of that move. No idea of how many medals are in the squad. I think we have a better squad than last season - even if we finish sixth to be honest, but that's just my take on it. Despite what keeps being said, we are not throwing money at anything. We are not in a position to throw money at things so all of our transfer dealings are well thought out and calculated. Not winning the league will not be seen as a failure or devastating, it'll be seen as disappointing. We'll go again next year with a like for like budget, because we have to. We can only spend what we bring in. Darvel are as strong as last season if you ask me. It's clear Pollok are having a time of it. Talbot have bounced back well and Beith have shown that resolve of last season despite losing a number of big players. Gartcairn and St Cadoc's seem to have money to spend, good luck to them if that's their model of progress.
