griffiti on the wall Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 What’s happened to the reports from Kinky, not that I’m complaining about your , Graffiti Agreed I'm a poor version of our man kinky but due to work commitments sadly the big fella and his fantastic way with words has only been to 1 game so far this season and the group is a lot poorer for it . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenconner Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 According to the folks at Whitletts Victoria the pitch is perfectly playable at the moment. There will be an early morning pitch inspect because of overnight storm warnings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffiti on the wall Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Yes I think the game will be on The arranged pitch inspection is just a precaution for the weather predicted for tonight but looks like they might miss the brunt of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffiti on the wall Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Yes defeat today at whitletts and probably deserved tho we missed chances at crucial stages which hurt us .I could discuss the game but I think we all need a reality checkWe have the smallest budget in the league and while we fill the coffers of many a tinpot club with there handful of supporters with a support which is a big as any in the grade we can't compete with these clubs in terms of sponsorship and social clubs .The gaffer has been performing miracles since the day he arrived and this is the most successful candy side in a generation but we need investment to push on and cant keep expecting him to work with a shoestring budget and getting success. We are in a battle but the one thing that I can guarantee you is that the candy support will be there every week to back the team and if the players match our heart then it's a battle we will win .Keep the faith MTC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookinforgoals Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Not many clubs in our league have social clubs tbh and those that do will probably tell you that they don't get much money from them. Sponsorship is the biggest thing. If you can find one or two backers to invest in the committees vision for the club you are doing well. One thing about this league is no game is a given and I think anyone could take points off anyone else on the day,including the teams at the top who are doing well and the bottom who are still looking for points 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Guy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 At the game yesterday and tbh I would say a game of missed chances and poor defending at set pieces for the candy. 2 chances in the first half that could change the game and a missed penalty in the second half at 2-1. Chances have to be taken or it bites you on the arse. Other than the two giants of centre halfs whittlets not much of a threat, that said the number 9 was no bad . First half except from the 2 set pieces candy never really under much threat then in the second half never really got going. I expect other teams that are more clinical will take points from them as they were cut open a few times at the back. The support the roch have is great and not many clubs have it but again need to be realistic in the sense that the club has just been promoted for the first time in how ever many years. This season was always going to be a big ask and staying in the league has to be the goal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffiti on the wall Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 St Rochs bounced back with a 3-1 win against Girvan. Hard to judge today's performance against a poor Girvan side but I guess the most important thing was the 3 points and getting back to winning ways . The game started well for the candy taking an early lead from a fantastic strike by kieran Martin and candy looking good but bad habits are hard to break and once again they came to the fore . Another set piece against us and another headed goal despite Girvan not being your typical Ayrshire giants then in a moment of madness we concede a penalty and go down to 10 men. A nothing ball going out for a goal kick sees our keeper charge out like a bull in a China shop and try a big stupid barge on there player which results in a free kick , from that set piece nobody puts there foot through the ball and clears it so it lands at there player who hits the post then our centre half makes the save of the day from the rebound. Penalty and red card follow but thankfully we get a bit of luck and the keeper makes amends by saving the resulting spot kick .Minutes later some brilliant build up play finds ferns in a great position and he cooly slots candy 2-1 up . The second half I was expecting to be under siege but candy found there passing game and despite the ever excellent biscuit adding to our lead it really could and should have been 5 or 6 in the end to the candy as Girvan failed to land a glove never mind a punch on the candy. So despite my frustrations at the bad habits we showed in the first half the team deserve credit for a much improved second half performance. A welcome break next week from league duty as we welcome the spiders from Dundee in what should be an intreging cup tie in the Scottish cup . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffiti on the wall Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Had a good chat with Kennie today at the game I really like his style going to different games and being approachable. I just wanted to tell him that I thought he was doing a good job and how much easier it's been for the supporters club to get things arranged in advance. Ended up chatting about a few different things but the thing that struck me was his open and honest approach and replies to the questions asked and how it's clear he has the club's and the game at heart. So once again Kennie keep the good work and thank you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socexp Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Griffithas part of the girvan groupwould say your account of match just about bang on .from a position of strength with an opportunity to go 2 1 up with a penalty and st Rochs down to 10 men from that moment on we were very disappointing didn't seem we had a man extra.however we will continue to scrap for points in the battle at the bottom . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duraglit shareholder Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Good result for Candy,,if only they could string 2-3 wins together in that league,although i know their some fine teams to come up against.Are the boys a wee bit inconsistant or finding it a step up in class,anyway i hope St Rochs win in the big cup next week,all the best from Beechwood way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
