Michael Kennedy Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Thanks Gibbo mate. Great achievement to get promoted and get to both major finals. In regards to the standard of the game, like most I agree it wasn't a great standard. There are many contributing factors to that, I think amateurs players in general struggle on a park that size. It was extremely dry and difficult to play on and it's a nervous occasion. I have been to many Scottish cup finals I can't think of any that have been a footballing spectical or reflective of the standard or ability in each side. It's just about finding a way to win the game. I think great credit should go to Thomas and the SAFA for organising the Scottish at Hampden it's a fantastic day for amateurs clubs to be part of.

Agree 100% Michael, nerves always kick in on these MASSIVE occasions, knowing most of the lads on show from both sides , it did not reflect their ability, all the best for next season and congratulations on what is a great achievement. Heart goes out to the Southside lads a bit, but heads up boys on what has been an outstanding season from a team not long founded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman91184 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Went along to watch this final. I will never get that 90 mins back. Pathetic from both teams. Keepers never had a save to make. Pathetic is a bit harsh . Both teams earned there right to play in the game . Every team wants to go to hampden and play as good as they can , but in reality your playing a team who want it as much as you with just as much ability ... sorry it didn't satisfy your expectations , it is amateur football after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Kennedy Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I also want to give a special mention to the ref yesterday and his team. Thought he was brilliant, one of the top referees in the country. I never heard players speak so highly of a referee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rpatz78 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm going for colville Getting beat in 2 major finals would be a right boot in the balls [emoji85] Getting beat in two major finals was a kick in the balls but a great effort from everyone of my players. To achieve promotion was our priority and we achieved that without loosing a game, we now build and freshen the squad up for next season. All the best to michael and colville another great year for both manager and team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco30 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Big gilchrist is up there with the best of them , cup finals rarely make for good viewing and nerves play a big part in that. Colville know how to get the job done. Big commiserations to Southside takes a mammoth effort to win your league as well as reaching the final of both majors. Didn't get the job done but should be very proud of your achievements this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Kennedy Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I just wanted to thank everyone connected with Colville, the committee, the players and my back room team. It takes a significant amount of planning and commitment to run the club as professionally as we do, I have high standards and continually challenge them to push it forward and they support me. Especially my players we get a lot of stick, but what they have achieved since I have taken over is truly remarkable, the commitment, dedication and passion they have shown over the last two years has been some achievement. People from the outside will recognise their quality but not the their dedication to myself, the club and each other. When I set out in my journey as a young inexperienced manager, I wanted to create a culture of professionalism, and an environment that was a family within a football club were is was about the group and not about individuals, they are a truly remarkable group of people. Having the success we have had has been extra special because of them. We will look to win our remaining games, them rest hopefully add some more quality to the club and hopefully we can challenge again next season.

Matchstick Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I thought both teams put a lot into game but well matched and cancelled each other out, Southside no6 played well and Colville lad who got man or the match was probably the difference..
