Nobody should be getting attacked or fighting at the fitba . but you’re crazy if you think there was any comparison to the glens goal celebrations and what happened when you scored the winner. As far as replying to the crowd I just thought you could have shown a wee bit more professionalism after what had happened, your team had done well to get the win . Should have been head down and into the clubhouse wi the 3pts in the bag , maybe worth thinking about ? If the ref deemed the celebration unacceptable that upto him to deal with, it does excuse the aftermath of what happened. I took abuse all game, I didn’t say a word back apart from some friendly banter with glens behind our dugout but I accept what was being said to me I wasn’t arguing I just started my point back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokloyal Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 There are specific clubs who continually attract a thug following and haven’t ever addressed the problem.It is time they and the authorities stepped up and did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooing in our managers face, which showed a complete lack of respect. That lead to the incident where the member of Glens staff got sent off for reacting. I don't seem to remember any Glens player actually in your technical area celebrating. Your fans were involved too and also under the influence of alcohol also. There are other videos circulating also which show young Darvel fans also throwing punches. To be selective to paint Darvel in a better light and lay sole blame on Glenafton is pretty poor. I am in no way defending the Glens fans violence. It was horrific to see. In regards to the fan shouting at you about the "drugs" reference well that is up to you how you deal with that. Personal abuse aimed towards players and managers has been a mainstay at this grade for years and one which will likely continue. Again not defending those actions but it is near impossible to eradicate that sort of thing at this grade of football. On a more positive note the game itself was a well contested affair with plenty action. A good advert for this level with two good footballing sides. Darvel fans at away games are generally under 18 years old or over 45 with a lot of women and children flung in , the home support attacked the younger ones who defended themselves actually very well which didn’t please the much older aggressors, one Darvel committee man was beaten by about 3 or 4 men ( not boys ) . A man in his thirties went too punch my son but stopped himself when he seen how young he was . Very aggressive home support who when it came down to folk standing up too them weren’t actually that good at it . Bigger away supports from Glasgow etc with more men between 20-40 I doubt they would have not have been attacked . Away teams will stop bringing fans there or possibly more men in groups will go there to leather them . Both scenarios not good for glenafton or their decent fans . The main instigators who can be seen in the sun video whilst not coming near enough to fight anyone caused others to attack the young Darvel fans . Absolutely no one from darvel instigated any fights but defended themselves which they needed to do . A scarey situation for the many younger lads and children and women to find themselves in the middle of . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ped Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 So surely glenafton have identified the people responsible for causing the trouble and banned them that must be the first thing they do to try and get any credibility back not try and justify the trouble by blaming goal celebrations or trying to condemn anything else 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star mix Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Firstly the Darvel young team / fans are not as innocent by previous comments should never of been in the stand for a start 2nd - they were being wee fuds in stand also in bar and during game it allways had potential to start with way they went on if there daft enough to abuse older people well that’s there fault 3rd - your commitee member walked down from other side of dug out and threatend then put the head on a boy who was trying to calm things down as there was infants in crowd as well . 4th the way Darvel & there fans celebrated a thought yous had won the champions league . some game otherwise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t in the stand so I don’t know who was fighting or who caused it but I’m sure the actions of the darvel staff and players certainly fuelled the fire . Even walking into the clubhouse at the end of the game the darvel manager was still shouting at fans , which I thought might have caused even more trouble . Aye. I remember your fans attacking our players for celebrating a couple of years ago too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chis Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I assume that as discipline etc in the Premiership is dealt with by the SFA and not the WOSFL this will be a matter for the SFA Compliance Officer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
