You are trying to stir up animosity over a factually correct tweet that nobody cares about. Oh, and the biggest laughing stock in non-league football is the Bonnyrigg situation as you well know but won't admit as it makes an arse of your pyramid agenda Yet it stirs all the Junior halfwits from Ayrshire from their drunken slumber to show everyone that they don't care The tweet was an embarrassment, so much so it's been deleted. Let's wait and see with the Bonnyrigg saga, their floodlights were turned on today. They are in the big Scottish next season regardless, just like Talbot and just like my team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Well done Talbot (again), hopefully they will be plying their trade in the pyramid soon, along with the rest of the wrsjfa.The tweet may have been a harmless attempt at humour that, from the outside looking in, was a tad distasteful and a little bit of a fail. Doesn't really show the sjfa in a professional light, as has been said though, deleted rather quickly.Onto the 'biggest farce of the pyramid', Bonnyrigg. Nothing to do with the LL or eos but everyone's favourite association, the sfa. The outcome hopefully swings in their favour but I can't see it given how other things have worked out thus far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 4629 the official attendance, does anyone attending or watching yesterdays game see 1500 empty seats, if the grounds capacity is just over 6K, i didnt.Also thought Hamiltons stadium was ok, much better playing surface than Rugby park, could have been a good atmosphere created by a large turnout from Largs and Talbot, but the sound is lost with ground being more or less open on two sides.The final for next season venue should be booked now, a date in early May and the junior FA beg for St mirren to agree no matter who finalists are, get it done now.Actually thought the noise from the Talbot fans came through on the tv quite well, must have been a decent atmosphere at the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, there were loads of spaces in both sides. So 4629 probably correct + 400 sponsor freebees! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there and it was a great atmosphere from both sets of fans. Is the juniors forum just full of pessimistic posters. Reading a few comments on here you would think some have a downer.

Looking at the stand figures (my own guestimate in brackets based on empty seats) - I couldn't tell how many empty seats where Largs fans were so just used the actual figure given). West 3204 (2800) North 2246 (1950) East 498 (300) Disabled 70 (?) Totals 6018 (5050) Difference with attendance given 4629 is 421 so it does seem a fairly accurate figure. I'd say the SJFA got their size of stadium spot on in giving Talbot the main stand and the gazebo and Largs the stand behind the goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans were lively enough at times but the ground really isn't great. got to agree with the negativity comment in general though. Couple of the pro-pyramid zealots getting a tad salty at the idea of people enjoying their day and having a bit of pride in the grade. Folk that are more interested in the politics of the game than the game itself. Boollin' club mafia types i'm guessing.

Reading through comments on other threads I get the feeling some posters on here don't appear to like Talbot. Celtic get it on the main threads so It probably comes with the territory of winning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot being generally against the Pyramid has rattled a few cages, and tbh the pyramid debate would give your arse a sore head nowadays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great pity we will probably never find out. In the current climate it would surely top 10k, in the 80's I'm sure it would have filled rugby park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot beat Kilbirnie in one semi and Pollok beat Cumnock in the other. The thing is I have no memory of this. I was going to games then and remember the semi and final but I don't remember anybody talking about the semi final draw and possibly getting Cumnock or anybody mentioning how close we were to playing Cumnock in a Junior Cup Final. I only found out that Pollok had played Cumnock in the semi a few years ago and I mentioned it to my dad who was going home and away at that time and he had no recollection of it either 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duraglit shareholder Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I dont know if this information has already been posted in another thread,but a touching event happened on Sunday after Talbots win.The bus transporting the players and cup home, took a detour through the housing scheme in Mauchline and stopped at a house where a fan thats followed Talbot for years has a very, very, serious illness and is no longer able to go and watch his beloved team.The players took the cup in for him to see,it was quite emotional and a touch of class and compasion from everyone at Talbot, and a day the guy will cherish. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC63 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The team also brought the cup in to my mother's house to let her see the cup. My dad was the Talbot Physio/trainer during the 70's and early 80's and a life long supporter going to games home and away. They also paid her a visit after last year's final. What a great gesture by this incredible group of players. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
