In many ways Buffs did bottle it, but given that we were in the relegation play off the previous season, I'll take the progress made and push on again this season. Beith were turgid to watch last season, Pollok, Cumnock, Kilbirnie all playing a more pleasing brand of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won the league with most goals scored and least conceded with a goal difference of +40. Won the Evening Times Cup & beat on penalties in W.OS.C Final & reached Quarters of Scottish yet according to you for much of last season they struggled. If thats struggling I'll take that any day of the week. Beith fans were in meltdown all season. It was all doom and gloom, saved by those 10 minutes. If that's enjoying your football, you can keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pheasant plucker Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Apology for duff statement - Buffs didn’t finish 3rd in the supposed 2 horse race - in fact they managed to claim 4th spot.Facts show Beith scored more goals and conceded less than anyone else by a significant margin with a goal difference of +40 (Buffs +14). Stats offer the truth and team at top after a long season always deserve the title.As for turgid to watch? Everyone’s entitled to their opinion of course but most people want to see goals being scored and Beith did.Interesting season ahead with reconstruction - I personally couldn’t forecast this season’s winner apart from the fact they will be the ones with the most points. Good chance it could be a tight one again though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the promoted teams hold their own or struggle, will the usual big names be as strong as previous years or will there be a few surprises in store? Thoughts? Easy the Peasie.

Jollyboy John Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 The team that wins the most points deserves to win the league, and last season that was Beith. Buffs had the chance and didn't take it, although certainly in the first half of the season they were one of the better teams in the league. Out of all the contenders Beith probably had the easiest run in, and had a couple of high scoring results, namely against Rob Roy and Arthurlie, which helped the goal difference. Beith fans can't deny though that they had concerns about the centre of their defence, one of the die hard fans even made a public apology on their own forum about their captain after disparaging remarks. You never know if Beith stick in one day they might achieve the same success as the Buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyones entitled to their opinions jollyboy, a wee scan of your profile and you were saying beith looked a team in decline after being beaten by the buffs last season which was proven to be wrong . Going to be another interesting season ahead and if buffs dont bottle it again it could maybe go down to the wire again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good that I've generated a bit of debate and taken a wee bit of abuse in the process, gives all the biters something to do. I stand by my points. Beith got lucky last season and Glens couldn't follow up on their good fortune from the season before. It's not always the best or most entertaining teams that win the prizes, junior football is often about who competes the hardest, who wants it more, who bullies the opposition. Roll on the new season until we all cross swords again. Good luck to your collective clubs, except against the Buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your question yes they did, they started really well and won 5 or 6 (including a win over the buffs) games straight at the start of the season and were clear at the top of the league . Had a good bit of momentum going when postponed Scottish cup matches meaant that they played something like two matches in 10 weeks Stopped us in our tracks. Took them to the last 6 or 7 games to get back into the swing of things and win their Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
