tombo Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 I heard there wasn’t much in the game on Saturday. I spoke to a Girvan player today and he says that Girvan scored at the death but ref didn’t give it. Don’t know if it’s true as the player I spoke to is usually very biased towards his team and himself. He said they played the last 35mins with 10 men and the ref should have had a Irvine Vics shirt on.Overall Vics were worth the win based in the amount of clear cut chances that were carved out. Girvan did have an equal amount of possession but lacked a wee bit of a cutting edge. Best player for them IMO was the lad who got sent off. Ref was poor for both teams and my view of the incident at the death was that if it wasn't a goal it could have been a penalty as it looked to me if Vic's defender stops the second effort not the keeper.Both teams sprinkled with youth which highlights the rebuilding of both squads this season.We will take that wee bit of good fortune we got on Saturday as it has been missing a few times recently.Wish Girvan all the best for the rest of the season.T 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s good to see both teams bringing through youth although I feel as if it has been forced on both teams rather than something they chose to do. I hope both teams have enough to stay up and allow their building to continue in this league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to see from where I was if it was in but looked like might have been from reactions. They went down to 10 men in 82nd minute not with 35 to go. The ref was abysmal for both teams, probably the worst I have ever seen. Fans were laughing at some of his decisions they were so bad. I really don't like to criticise refs as it's a thankless task but he was wrong so many times for both teams . Girvan probably felt aggrieved at not getting a point but Vics deserved a bit of luck for a change. I knew he would be exaggerating the sending off time. As for refs, when you see the standard of ref at the top level of our game, it’s only expected for them to be poor at junior level. There are some good ones too. Glad to see Vics get another 3 points on the board. Glad it wasn’t the previous week though... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to your point about youth players it has been forced on us due to last season's squad following Stevie to the Winton. However in fairness to our young players, the football has been good to watch and there has been a lot more creativity and flair this season, but lacking results. The focus for us will be to consolidate and stay in this league but for our young players it's about their development and what they do in the future. They will make mistakes but it is how they learn from those mistakes and how willing and open they are to take advice from those with a better experience of the junior game.T 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The age group between leaving youth football and 23 years old can be a very hard one for players and a lot get lost from the game as they are good enough player but maybe not physically strong enough and teams want to win and won’t risk playing these players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys who deal with that are on the committee and would normally be in attendance. Not looking for a full match report or anything like that.T 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T You don’t miss many matches, I’m sure you would be good at it. You should start an unofficial twitter account and post updates. I could start one for Whitletts... I could call it Whitletts Dics. Or start going to Darvel games and do one for them, I’m sure they would like me to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 To all the boys who played yesterday I would like to say well done. The final score was harsh to say the least, as I felt it was not a true reflection of your efforts and although you were never going to win the game, you certainly deserved more from it. The Rob Roy fans I talked to said the very same and all were in agreement that wee Dinky's red was never a sending off and that in that one decision the ref ruined the game as a contest. So all the best to Rob Roy in the next round and we just need to focus on the next few league games. Just keep believing in yourselves as you are better than some of our results have shown T 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
