If he were to comment on everything negative towards Darvel then he would never be off of P&B / Twitter. If there’s nothing negative about Darvel then people will make something up, for whatever reason. Why can’t people not just let the guy get on with football rather than trying to slaughter him or his team at every opportunity. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably because certain teams have realised that their position at the top is under severe threat. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToffeeTalbot 19 Report post Posted August 12, 2020 Was pictures of him at an ‘informal training’ session and he was silent for weeks, it’s hardly a campaign against Darvel. Now he knows correct he’s on defending. Strange but not surprising 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ballermk 176 Report post Posted August 12, 2020 This is the problem with folk who haven't been following junior football for very long or just taken a casual look and think oh darvel will be a threat to the top teams rubbish. Every season new challengers appear and they always have talbot being top dogs are used to it more than anyone and the money men challengers always fall by the wayside and thats clubs built on a much better foundation than this lot. They think are doing something special when they aren't they are a total shambles and a laughing stock and have been from day one . The clueless pieman will go back to whatever he was doing before this pet project and the manager will go back to his rightful level amateur and pump some money into some poor unfortunate team and play football manager at that level with his pals. -1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glensmad 4,985 Report post Posted August 12, 2020 He just regurgitates the same rant every day, sometimes twice a day. No matter how much rudicule he gets he just ignores it, shuffles the words round and comes back to say the same rant again. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darvel legend 1,873 Report post Posted August 13, 2020 guys there is banter and rivalry but some things are beyond belief , if u have video evidence of the so called friendly put it up and darvel will be rightly criticised if not apologise which ive had to do on here at times and look forward to the season starting whenever that may be 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammer6 5 Report post Posted August 13, 2020 So this was apparently against Colvilles? Is this the same Colvilles team who asked for a relief of fixtures last season and as things stand I'm no further forward if they are even up and running again? No disrespect to any opposition but why would Darvel take on a basically brand new amateur team and risk injury to new signings even if the game was allowed to take place...... A team full of league 1 standard players playing a brand new amateur outfit who had to take a year out doesn't make any sense 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny Henderson 1 Report post Posted August 13, 2020 I can 100% guarantee that no friendly has ever taken place between Darvel and Colville, some people feel the need to waste other people’s time and make this nonsense up, sad people feel the need to make up stories between two clubs....... Very embarrassing for the so called individual 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TFW 598 Report post Posted August 13, 2020 I think the whole thing is rather unfortunate. A team like Darvel, who have had some much needed finance, now face constant ridicule because they - or more specifically their management team - don't know how to live with it. If you live by the sword you die by the sword. No other WoSL team's manager comes on here and argues the toss. As far as I'm aware no other club chairmen / benefactor bigs up their team to such an extent that team talks for next season really aren't needed. That's something somebody else has alluded to as well with talk of title challenges with Talbot and the Buffs. To be blunt, the club is a communications nightmare. It hasn't got a clue. It needs to grow up and stop playing games. It needs to take responsibility for it's actions - especially during the Covid-19 lockdown - and let their team do the talking on the pitch. What the club have done, intentionally or not (if it is intentionally then I genuinely fear for them) is to give all their games next season a bit of extra spice. They cant come on here once the season starts and say "Why all the abuse?" 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
