Dark horses atm as everyone just gave Darvel the title (given their budget) but a lot of football still to go.

Talbot deserved to win and could maybe have been more comfortable, but Pollok were a danger. My 1st instinct was that the ref shat the bed by not giving the Pollok defender a red at 1-0 for preventing a clear scoring opportunity with the Talbot player near-certain to get a shot off. I might be wrong and the highlights will be interesting for that incident. I know other defenders were closing in but I can't see how that wasn't a clear opportunity to score. The ref was fairly poor throughout but I also find Pollok to be about the most niggly side we play in this division and they sail very close to the wind with their discipline at times. It's been like that for a few seasons now. No doubt they would disagree. Also, Boylan's header for the winner was absolutely tremendous. Very selective posting here! No mention of the punch thrown around 30/40 mins by No9 already on a booking and the ref somehow books your no 7? Should have been down to 10. As for the clean going scoring opportunity, it was 45 yards from goal with defenders running back, same as the foul by your number 3 which he injured himself doing - both bookings. As for Pollok sailing close to the wind… pot kettle springs to mind ! As for the game itself, first half was poor, we set up poorly and only invited Talbot on to us. All be it keeper only had a couple of saves. Second half much better with two McCanns up top and Lyon on left. Could have went either way at 1-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last few seasons Pollok have been synonymous with acting like a gang in these games. I don't expect you to agree but I see it in matches v Pollok far more than against other league opponents - you have to watch it every week so it might seem more normal. One metric of this would be the number of red cards in Talbot v Pollok games and which side gets the lion's share of them. Yesterday should have seen that total added to - 45 yards from goal can still quickly develop into a goal-scoring opportunity. if the Talbot forward had taken a good touch instead of being wiped out his next touch after that would probably have been a shot on goal. whether there were defenders running back or not is irrelevant and for me (and any ref that isn't a bottle merchant) that's a red card. Happy to take this back if the highlights show I'm talking pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much ignoring as choosing not to comment on situations I didn't see. You may very well be right about those things but either way they have no real bearing on any of the points I raised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to want to make out that Pollok are a gang - exact word used. Meanwhile, you have a player throwing a punch, bench knows the ref got it wrong and shouting to the No 7 to not make an issue of it. Add in surrounding the ref when your player went down after a 50/50 on in the bottom corner in a tackle with Mullen. Acting like a gang ??? While I know my club are far from perfect the selecting viewing you have of your own team needs called out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaver watch Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 The fact of the matter was it was a bloody good game and a great advertisement for the WOSL, big crowd, end to end football, controversy and much more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your team will remain an I'll disciplined rabble either way while mine will be the one who only last week received a fair play award. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiepiyo Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Saw Maxi getting some heat from some Lok supporters on twitter after the game which I thought was unwarranted. From all accounts read, sounded like it was a decent game. Probably closest score line between the two at Beechwood for some time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
