With the best squad and manager they have ever had and the so called big guns not competing .I would have thought you would be shouting from the roof tops that the rest are running scared and lump your money on Darvel for a league and cup double. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best teams talbot and pollok are not playing ,I thought Darvel would win the league with them in it so without them I expect them to win the league if it’s ever completed but I’ve been wrong before and will be again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokloyal Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Darvel seem to have a strong squad of players so we shall see how the season pans out.Still a few teams left who might give Darvel a challenge or two.Its unfortunate that it isn’t a full league and business as normal but that will return and then we can assess how teams are doing properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Guess that any clubs Inc Darvel who wins the league, gets licensed and possible promotion won't give 2 if it's claimed a tainted league etc. Looking forward to seeing some streaming games if I can , good luck everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceejayar Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Didn’t catch all the game but good start to the season, another positive is the pitch looked in great nick considering the amount of rain that’s fell, some great work by the groundcare boys and grass cutters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Gold Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I find it strange that Rob Roy agreed to switch venues when they refused Talbot the same request last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams just want to get a game going, (in all leagues and associations), so there is no backlog incase there might be weeks missing that no football is allowed by the Government. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what grade or circumstances they agreed not to switch venues with Talbot who were trying to clear a baglog but were happy to do the same with another club . Forget the pandemic because that will be the excuse for years to come. All I asked was why it was okay to switch when it was not okay when Talbot made the request. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I find it strange that people cannot understand when a ref puts a home game off there isn't any gate money to be had, regardless of what the league is called.Talbot just wanted to get a game going but it was Rob Roy's prerogative to choose not to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but its got nothing to do with last year. How there hell cant you see that. Its all totally different this year. They may have different people in their committee with different views as well. Auchinleck is a different team from Darvel and there are no fans allowed. if you are looking at it objectively then yes its easy to understand. I haven't a reason why they didn't do that last year but as I said, its all totally different now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Gold Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Thanks for the sermon but its all ifs and buts and really no answer to what I'm looking for, it would be nice to hear from the Rabs on the subject so I have posted the same question on their thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sermon as you put it. if you want a sermon, can easily point you in the right direction as my sermons can be very deep. I find it strange however, why didn't you post it in the Rabs post then as its your comments is all about Rob Roys decisions and NOT Darvel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Gold Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 There might have been a chance that a Darvel representative could have shed some light. Was money involved, are the two managers good friends, could both clubs want to be seen as bastions of the WOSL. It's a question I'm interested in because the same club had the chance to help out a member club last season but refused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
