A legend down our way surprised he didn’t play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot 1978 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Or was after one final pay day...He certainly deserved a final pay day. Wee Butch gave all to the Talbot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Back on topic.The game itself wasn't a classic.Should you see the highlights thou, you will see some superb goalkeeping and a couple of brilliant goals. The 3 nil score line isn't a true reflection of the game.In fact Pollok must be wondering,how did that happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy25 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Leishman and longmuir best 2 in the division class goalies. I would say 2 best goalies in the Juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE63 exile Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Not much to get excited footballwise. Talbot had that edge that could move up a gear for me. 3-0 maybe flattered them over the piece but they proved the hunger is still there despite going out the big Scottish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superpollok Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 First goal today was always going to be so important for both sides. Either going to be a bit of class or a mistake. In the end it was class from Pope.From that moment forward we had to chase the game and unfortunately don’t have the players on the bench to influence it like Talbot had today. I am pretty sure everyone at Talbot knew the were in a game today after the first half - not the gulf in teams that the score line showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerner Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Not a 3-0 game but what a cup tie, great commitment from both teams, Pollok really giving Talbot problems in the first half down the flanks and playing well through the middle with some good movement. At the hour mark just before big Andy made a great save, I would have a took a replay, step up Gordon Pope what a strike!! Pollok huffed and puffed a bit but Talbot got stronger as the game went on, good second on the counter from Samson who never stopped running all day, the third well what can we say about that, big Longmuir will be seeing that in his sleep for weeks!! On another note this was another really good junior game well worth the £7. Always enjoy my trips to Pollok, great ground and another fixture I don’t want to lose over the years. Roll on semi finals what a season so far for Talbot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Usually only do that against opposition if they are matching us with effort. Very entertaining game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was right in the corner.It sat up and he gave it laldy.Steven Wilson's goal? He's found his range. Partial to putting it over the bar!Seriously,fantastic strike.Thats one you won't forget.

Lokloyal Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Lok should have made more of their dominance of the first half but didn’t then a wonder strike in the second half set Talbot away.Bad mistake by Boyle for the second goal and Jordan for the third but as has been said we don’t have that depth from the bench to force a tie.Well done Talbot-a tough game and superb attendance!

The way Pollok played in first half i would have took a replay going in at half time, but i guess Popes goal was worthy of winning any match.Its my opinion that if Pollok had avoided Talbot in the draw, it would have produced a cracking final, not disrespecting the teams left in it as again i think Talbot hard to beat over two legs.One thing ive noticed is how Talbot seem to move up a gear when Shankland is introduced, should he be starting matches or is it part of Tuckers plan, i just hope Shankers doesnt get fed up as every player wants to play from the start, its a difficult one to call as the results just keep coming for the Bot.

Shanks arguably our best play at the start of the season before his injury as soon as he is fully fit he will be back starting . The team has been doing so well hard to make changes to starting 11. It’s a good problem for tucker to have having all the options of who to play . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
