Guest Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Glad to get off the mark today, enjoyed my day up at Dunterlie. Surprised how easy it was for us in the end. Good to have a wee yap to@Nugent4Nil and valleyboy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairn1902 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 It’s one of the oldest clichės in football, but even after three rounds of fixtures, there are no easy games in this League. Any team that takes another as a “guaranteed three points” are in for a big wake up call. There is a lot of football to be played!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Toria Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'm not getting ahead of myself but we're going to win the league.You played very well today and scored 2 good goals but a very inexperienced vics side pushed you hard and on another day, might have got a draw. Lots of football to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffiti on the wall Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 First visit to Kilsyth Rangers A cracking old stadium and decent facilities I would love to see someone invest and restore that old terrace as it's absolutely fantastic and should not be lost from the game 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski64 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 vics team decent considering having to totally rebuild from last season. Best of Luck for rest of the season Thought Vics played some great football at times but two goals came against the run of play at time and knocked us back , particularly the 2nd.Great pace and caused a few problems, just needed a break and a bit more experience at times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutankhamen Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Match Day 3 or a week later from my last Saturday's post and the league is starting to take shape. Glencairn, Cumberbauld, Rossvale and Dalry leading the top half and looking good. Truth is even after 3 games you can see who's going up and those without a parachute taking shape at the bottom. I'll leave Darvel out of it for a moment 1pt from 9 but only 5 goals conceded. Sort the goals against out and things should be okay. And now for the other bottom four basement teams, 56 lost between them. Bet if you put the back four and the goalie from each team together (20 players in total) you couldn't find a defender or goalie between the lot of them. Sorry lads but if it's that bad after 3 games you better hope that second engine doesn't give out crossing water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The experience will come with games, but every games an adventure just now and our football is real entertainment at times. Haven't enjoyed the start of a season this much for years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck for the rest of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't comment on the game, enough of that else where. We have made a lot of improvements in recent years, latest was total refurbishment of dressing rooms after an arson attack last year. Pretty certain they can now stand comparison with any others in the junior game. Before that we replaced pieshop and toilets aabout three years ago. The terraces on the west of the tunnel were relayed about six or seven yeats back when we also removed all the old terracing behind both goals and grassed it over, it gets cut regularly. The dugouts, tunnel walls leading onto the pitch and walls in front of the terraces were rebuilt about ten years ago though unfortunately sub standard brick was used and it is spalling quite badly in some areas. Enclosure roof repainted with a sponsors name last year. It has to be one of the largest adsvertising boards in Scotland at over 300 feet long. Boundary fencing replaced on two sides of the ground as well a few years back. Club hut refurbished, we took it over in a semi derelict condition from Glasgow Rangers supporters club. A pretty comprehensive list as I am sure you will agree, but still a few jobs we would like to do, looking forward to our visit to your own ground later in the season to see the new covered enclosures, etc. Quite a few other clubs have made improvements as well, Perthshire is looking much better than it did a few years back and the new grounds at Renfrew, Port Glasgow, etc show that despite ruimours to the contrary the junior grade is not dead just yet. It is changing but a lot of clubs are preparing for a new era, the name may change but hopefully the clubs will survive. PS Enjoyed a chat with Tommy Flynn, recalling the games he played against us in the 1950's. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffiti on the wall Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Port Glasgow without doubt is my favourite of the new builds yes quite basic but the views around the ground are simply stunning and worth the entrance fee alone. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the top 6 are getting relegated and the bottom 6 (after a week) will not be going up this season. And that's after 3 games. Let's see what happens over the next 7 games. That will take the league to the third way stage. Unless there's a meltdown at the top or a miracle at the bottom you can see it taking shape even at this very early stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not what you said, you said after 3 games you knew who was going up? So what you meant was any of the top half could go up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
