To the knockers and begrudgers who say junior football is dying well I say your talking our your arse the game is growing here by the day in the west and if we can get the right people in power to lead it and promote it then it will flourish with or without teams from the east or clydebank Correct mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 OK how does it compare to 2000-2017 levels? I know its about half the 2007 final attendance. I really, really, really don't think there were 10,000 at East End Park for Linlithgow Rose v Kelty - I was there and I'd guess it was 7-8,000 at most. I was sitting in the east end of the main stand and there was plenty of room around me.Anyway, not the time or the place... congratulations to Talbot, success like that, especially for a team from a small town and catchment, doesn't just happen, it's the result of decades of thankless dedication by many people giving up their time and money. Hope you have a great night, you've earned it. [emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheasant plucker Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Congratulations to Talbot again. Hurlford found like many others before that you are never home until the final whistle.You really need a knock out to win inside the distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be a good 10 pages deeper right now if Talbot had lost but the gloaters are like snaw aff a dyke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Morgan Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Not Talbot’s best display but never say die, they found a way. 4800, think they only counted Talbot stand. 12 stars on the shirt next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 300 short of double todays game. A lot to do with the novelty value of East teams in a junior cup final played in the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFW Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hope Henderson can't sleep tonight. The time wasting tactics - yet again - from the kick off are designed to kill the game stone dead, The brutatlity of some of the fouls were probably pre determined as well. How the number 6 stayed on the park is beyond me. What I really loved though, apart from them getting away with the "two balls on the pitch at the same time" trick was the sight of the lump of lard in their goal taunting the Talbot fans in the 91st minute by deliberately wasting more time by drinking water rather than taking the goal kick. To see him pick the ball out of his own net twice in the next ninety seconds was just awesome. Re crowd. You could probably say that the Talbot stand had 4,000 out of the 4,800 no problem at all. This, despite the Hurlford club president, Sibbald, bigging the club up in the Herald yesterday saying they'd be taking 2,900 to Rugby Park. Perhaps had they done that there would have been a much better gate. He also, laughinly said that Hurlford were amongst the top five Junior clubs in the country and the "pitch was like a bowling green" That's an underwater bowling green, obviously. EPPP.
