retired Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I only heard second hand mate. So I don't know if it's true. Like you I'd be astonished.I've heard since that Peter Leonard was at Saturday's match, so maybe it's a case of someone putting two and two together and getting five. Like I said, IF TRUE, it's a real shock.Unfortunately for Greg and his back room team it is true. Astonishing doesn’t cover it, no wonder the club are quiet on the subject. He had Craigmark at a level way beyond their means and are still looking at a good first season up there. What now for them . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect he’ll have a few offers/enquiries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-german exile Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Does appear to be an amazing development. However it's not really for outsiders like myself to judge. The club will have their reasons and hopefully all at Craigmark are in agreement as it would be a shame if it scuppered their progress. Good luck to both the club and the departing management team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilsythblue Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hmmm no I didn't Anyway to all Kilsyth Rangers supporters, I am sorry for my mistake, your team is actually great. If you beat the bottom team who haven't won a single point 9-1 you must be great. The team incidentally that held you till half time and whose heads went down with the award of a penalty for an incident that was outside the box. But never mind that, it doesn't detract in any way from your greatness. Other great teams in the league include Glencairn and Whittletts who are if anything slightly greater having beaten us 9-0 and St Roch's who are only slightly less great at 9-2. Honourable mentions too to Cumbernauld (8-0 and 7-1) and Arthurlie (7-1), if they'd scored a couple more goals they could have risen to the great levels of Kilsyth. It's no wonder looking at these that we're bottom with all these great teams in the league. Hmmmm indeed . You did manage an encouraging score line in your previous match against a Rossvale side going well. Albeit still a defeat on the wrong end of a 1 nil score line. Started brightly and took the lead at Duncansfield. Surely now you had turned the corner !! You must have thought. Only to come a croper and end up on the wrong end of 9 1 score line. 8 home games for Kilsyth 8 wins .Now were we good? or were you terrible ? Doesn't really matter but we managed 8 more than Rossvale did the week before so for me that's pretty decent. Although it did start with a dodgy pen !! So probably no a true reflection on how the game went! Canny expect to play for another 42 mins with decisions like that . P.s We were shocking first half !![emoji848] 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 It's interesting to note that, of Benburb's remaining 13 fixtures, only four of them are at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Saturday Larky had lost five out of the last seven games by a single goal, and in some of these games deserved to get something out of them, however to go to Kilsyth who's home record is exceptional minus a goalkeeper and two out of the back four missing for starters was always a big ask. They do not have any depth in the squad so when a number of players are missing they have players covering these areas and with all due respect jersey fillers making up the team. They competed very well until the penalty followed by a quick third that killed the game and the inevitable collapse happened. Was it a blip ? or a return to the horrors at the start of the season ? If everyone is fit and available then I'm pretty confident it was a blip, albeit not a pleasant one.

A good chance for Cumbernauld and Whitletts to get a win and another game ahead of the other promotion hopefuls involved in the cup. At the other end, I don't really see the bottom 3 changing this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbernauld actually have a game in hand over Glencairn and Kilsyth, and two games in hand over Arthurlie, so they will only be ahead of Benburb (by one game) and Rossvale (by four games). Whitletts and Dalry, on the other hand, will become the first teams to have reached the 20-game mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could leave Rossvale with a lot of games to catch up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbernauld are in cup action on 19th January, though, while 14 of the other 15 teams are playing league matches (Kello idle). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBENS Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 As Glensmad has pointed out, we only have 4 home games left, but we're now in January and as of yet we have not played either Larkhall or Girvan, we should have played Larkhall on the August 22nd fixtures that were cancelled. Remaining fixtures Home - Larkhall, Craigmark, Neilston & Girvan Away- Girvan, Whitletts, Irvine Vics, Kilsyth, Rossvale, Arthurlie, Cumbernauld, Larkhall & Kello 13 fixtures left and as the old saying goes, take one game at a time and what will be, will be, good luck to all 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
