Billy XBoswell Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 6 minutes ago, NewGuy2017 said: The views and comments from other teams on Darvel is embarrassing to say the least. People forget that not too long ago that Darvel nearly ceased to exist and if it wasn't for some members of their committee and local people then they would have. They should have be commended on keeping the club alive - anyone who knows football outside of the top tiers knows how hard it is to keep clubs running. Darvel are damned if they do and damned if they don't. They've now assembled a committee, management team and players who are genuinely capable of winning big things in Junior football. Maybe its jealousy or maybe its fear? Do you all realise that to win trophies in football you have to have a winning mentality? So why should people at Darvel not believe they are capable of winning things? And to all those who say its just a project for John and what happens if his money went? Does the same not go for any team at any level up and down the country? Sorry for the long rant but Im getting sick of the same old usual negative stories and comments about Darvel. Maybe if you guys spent so much time and energy on your own club maybe you would get somewhere. Aye, totally agree with you but it works both ways I am afraid, respect has to be earned but when you have a guy on their committee that shows a lack of respect to others on here then expect to receive negative comments in return.... touché If you want to have a rant then have a quiet word with him instead Incoming 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres good people involved with Darvel and shouldn't be tarred eith the same brush. DL throws the bait out and its chewed upon every single time. But my point sticks, why should anyone affiliated with the club not believe they are capable? Since when in competitive sports do people not think that way? I am not involved with Darvel in any way shape or form. Just throwing that out there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do clubs now need to win things to earn respect? Like I said before less than 10 years ago Darvel Juniors were nearly gone. Since then they have rebuilt and have slowly but surely put foundations in place to ensure their long term stability. Good on you guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerner Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Cause he plays same position as Meggatt and I rate neil by the way he’s just no in same class as megs Neil has won two junior cups, a league title, sectional cups, played in a Talbot team that beat Ayr and played at Tynecastle.

eyeswideopen15 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Is anyone arguing with you or are you trying to make a point with me that I have suggested otherwise No one is arguing with me no, however I am making the point that Your all over this forum harping on about your "senior players". Yet Darvel actually manage to go and sign proper seasoned senior players and u take swipes at where they have ended up. You talk about respect and then come away with comments like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to Darvel however, they really have built a brilliant squad of players and I fully expect them to comfortably win the league they are in. I think this is the minimum the club will be expecting with all the investment that has went in on and off the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You appear to be putting a big spin on what I am saying for some reason Bonnyton Thistle is classed as a Senior Team ..... not my words but a fact & I suppose this makes the players that sign with the club the same and also to clarify, none of these players receive any payment to play either As said before, respect has to be earned & nowt against the squad or manager at Darvel but it has still to be earned Why do they get crap from me & others on here? Take a look at what DL has said in the past about other teams players, pitches, facilities and fans then come back to me Edited July 15, 2019 by Billy XBoswell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botlad67 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Fair play the hard work all at darvel have put in to develop the club . But darvel legend have a little respect when speaking about other teams and players who have won everything in the juniors. There is nobody on here disrespecting previous or current darvel players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
