Fair point Shanner but some do try to play, you surely can't enjoy watching that don't get me wrong it's good to win but jesus wept they were kicking for touch in the final to gain ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go back a very long way to find junior clubs who could play football in the real old fashioned Scottish way, i.e. the passing game. I hate to keep harking back to the old days (a lie) but the Kilsyth cup winning team of 1967 with a forward line (remember forwards?) with Jimmy Carroll, Drew Jarvie, Pat McMahon, Jimmy Green and Billy Wilson would have destroyed the current Talbot team. Likewise the Cambuslang, Linlithgow teams of that era . The really talented young players are no longer found in junior football, and the game has suffered accordingly.

Likewise the Cambuslang, Linlithgow teams of that era also. The really talented young players are no longer found in junior football any more, and the game has suffered accordingly. Guys with the kind of individualistic, mercurial streak that fans used to love seeing are thin on the ground at all levels of the game now and definitely rarer than ever in the Juniors. Guys like that could once use their ability to mask a lack of fitness but ( apart from Junior goalies who are often way overweight) more Junior players are fitter than ever. Nowadays you need to be strong, have "dig" and stamina, and be able to follow instruction, with anything on top of that a bonus it seems. It's not particularly controversial or disrespectful to recognise that Talbot's football style is definitely towards the more pragmatic end of the spectrum even by Junior standards, and I think a lot of Talbot fans would agree with that. It works enough to persist with but I think they move to a different level such as when they won the double undefeated in 2012/13 where they showed they were capable of a bit of diversity and could play it about a bit too. Having said that I've seen them play some very pleasing stuff this season, particularly as part of the Scottish cup run. In the time between January and the midweek fixtures coming in they were very decent to watch. End of the day football is about winning and they are making the best use of the players they have, more so than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudger Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Canny believe some fans are going on about cumnock players and fans celebrating getting a draw yesterday. Let's face facts here if it was the other way round we would have been the same. They weren't celebrating a draw but us not winning the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
