Nearly £20K worth of players who know what the league is all about. Bizarre. Also interested to hear why Morrison was all set to join Kilwinning on loan before Darvel pulled the plug and offered him to Hurlford instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison is a local lad, been seen around the club a few times recently. If this is indeed the case, it's a strange one. Noticed that Syme is back at Darvel, played against Troon yesterday. Bizarre behaviour from Darvel. Edited March 19, 2023 by funky monkey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be more than happy with that but if not, I'd favour anyone who can go on and compete in the playoff (my personal dislike of Darvel excludes them from that). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a two horse race between Talbot and Beith now. It all hinges on how consistent Talbot can be. Can’t see Darvel out running the pair of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beith just need to hold their nerve in the run in and they'll do it IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely as they know how to win and their fans will get them over the line however if beith were to beat them they would be in a very strong position ,on yesterdays display we look a team going thru the motions and on that showing we will lose more games than we win on fixtures left , very very disappointing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice football is good to watch at times but winning football is the correct way to play football, If that means mixing it up a bit and going long now and again , putting it into the channels/percentage areas and getting defences turned then so be it, our level is about digging in at times and getting it done ugly while fighting and scratching for every single ball , I don't see darvel reverting to a plan b even when behind and when a goal is urgent . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enough points up for grabs in the remaining head-to-heads to change things dramatically. For instance I don't think Beith or Talbot will take 6 points in that particular head-to-head, and could easily end up with a point each - Talbot v Beith x 2 Darvel v Talbot v x 1 Darvel V Beith x 1 And there's also the matter of matches v other teams on very good form such as - Bankies v Talbot x 2, Darvel x 1, Beith x 1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John S Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Darvel fans must be disappointed. It looks like they won't win the league now and although the Cup run was exciting they will have nothing to show for the season and must wonder if they have seen their team progress. I've never been to Darvel's ground but assume it has seen improvement over the years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the proposed new stand it'll be the best village ground in Scotland. Is anybody really surprised that it's all went belly up at Darvel? Surely it was always likely to happen? Will Gall and Kennedy have the stomach to ride this season out or is there more drama yet to come at Darvel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Culter Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 It’s very telling how we can all have our own club rivalries in this league. Arthurlie/Pollok, Buffs/Medda, Cumnock/Talbot for example but are almost all united in loving what is currently happening at this circus. That says it all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to Darvel's ground but assume it has seen improvement over the years. I haven't been since the Tranent playoff game but it was still needing a fair bit of work at that time. I know lots of work happened for the telly cup games but I get the impression it will be a while yet until you can count on getting a decent view when there's anything approaching a 4 figure crowd. To give Darvel their dues the pitch has looked terrific on the telly and they rarely have a postponement these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicotina Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 darvel and a four figure crowd are u having a laugh normally 4 figures ( home fans ) at a match plus the dogs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicotina Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 more on their bench and technical area and players not in the squad than in the ground they rely on away fans will backfire by the time lok play them, the season will be over for them already over for us a long time ago many lok fans won't travel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
