latapythelegend Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Do you think Darvel will be looking to increase capacity for the next round? Perhaps behind the goals at the bottom of the hill? Can see the next round selling out even quicker than last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me give you just ONE example of why Iast night could and I stress could, benefit the WoSFL, bare with me as it's a wee bit long winded. My Mrs is the Credit Card Director for a well known UK High St bank, this morning after their daily board meeting and knowing shes from East Ayrshire, the subject came around to last nights game which a good few of them from down south had also watched on TV. Her collegue responsible for marketing and sponsorship was extremely keen to know more about Darvel and most importantly the WoSFL as a whole. She tells me even the Chairman suggested they should explore further. Imagine they decided to sponsor a competition or the league, as these multi nationals don't get involved with a single club for fear of alienating themselves from customers. Don't you think the whole league would benefit if something became of that discussion? Afterall, big multi nationals love to ride the coat tales of a fairytale/success story. Like it or not, last nights game has generated discussion and interest from far afield not just the West of Scotland or our little country but it's making headlines worldwide. I've also sat back and read for a long while now about how John Gall, Mick and Darvel are this, that n the other, a vanity project where only their money talks and they're buying success. The truth is that success is getting exposure, interest and people talking that otherwise would simply not exist. There has been discussions before last night result about how good our league is talbot beat big teams before and ran a few close to it Darvel have a had a good run this time pollock had a good run we don't need to prove to anyone that our league is sub standard what we need is those above to play fair ie 2 down 2 up in all leagues what it does say no matter who you are the so called Diddy teams will beat the so called big teams on their day and we don't need Darvel to beat the drum our league is already on the map 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great achievement and fully deserved but we need to calm down a bit surely What he meant was the exposure they got today on talkSPORT , radio Scotland etc , not to mention sky tv and the bbc in the town this morning and at the primary school , this has never happened here before 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine from Sydney (he's Australian and a football fan) messaged to ask about Darvel and the standard of the WoSFL. Not sure if it made any sort of news over there or he just saw it on the net. Edited January 24, 2023 by Burnieman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sortmeout Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 6 hours ago, jimbaxters said: This. If anyone reckons that some flustered nonsense about being an army led to the win, they're at it. If you can bear to watch it again, you'll see that even the players looked affrontit. It was purely and simply attention seeking. Whilst I agree based on the wee clip I saw, unless you have been in the changing room before a game with MK then it’s hard to say if it’s his normal style or not. I imagine he gave one team talk for the cameras and another for the players quickly afterwards but I could be wrong. Whatever he said it worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darvel legend Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Fwiw the team talk was fantastic and he has had plenty of them no just for the cameras , players respond to him and the proof is in results , If the players didn’t buy into it two things would happen , we wouldn’t win games and they wouldn’t be there , only issue is who does his fucking hair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
