They should maybe pipe down and get on with it until they actually achieve something on the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFW Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 It's the arrogance of new money and the Billy Big Bollocks attitude that accompanies it. I don't think you'll find any fan at our level begrudges them all the upgrades to their park - and it's good to see money being into that and not just the squad - but it's then "Oooh, look at us everybody" Pipe down, get on with things like most other clubs, and let yourselves be judged by things that go on the pitch, not off it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballermk Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Darvel ground is a small ground with a tiny stand, a hospitality area one fancy changing room and a pitch that after a game or two in bad weather is like a cows field unlike several other teams in the premier league teams who year after year produce great surfaces incidentally teams that have earned the right to be in the league and not got into the league through legal action. Numerous times through the years clubs have thrown money to get success none of them have done it with this level of cringeworthy attention seeking . This comes from the top the pieman and the amateur manager must be fine with all this nonsense when any other proper football committee and manager would be nowhere near this circus. These aren't proper junior non league men its a clueless more money than sense chairman, a amateur manager with a ego who was disliked big time in the amateurs, johnny come lately two minute darvel 'supporters ' and glory hunting fans from years ago who where nowhere to be seen for decades during the tough times and have came crawling out the woodwork. Its all a charade scratch the surface and its all a disaster waiting to happen. Btw the naivety of this level is clear when they think the people they have signed are 'big names ' anyone around longer than two minutes at this level can reel off proper big names who have had spells at this level not players who are big names in own household and thats it. Let's hope the most useless association in world football the sfa and its stooge new west of scotland minions act on the disgraceful illegal training that took place otherwise the small amount of credibility they had is completely gone before its even got started.

Blackie Gold Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Darvel are building foundations on sand. They are allowing their manager to invest his own money into the club but what happens when the mercenaries he has signed don't do the business. Its going to be interesting times ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meadow have always been one of the big Ayrshire teams and trophies won only Talbot and a couple of others can compare. Trophy wise a bit of a lull in the 1990s still won league titles and other trophies though and always been regarded as a big name in Junior / non league football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
