They were meant to be polishing off the last few wins to secure the Lowland League by now but shat the bed v Tranent and now we are where we are. You can dismiss the importance of the cups but fans love winning them and his sides have been abysmal in all the non-league competitions since covid. Sticking up for Tranent here I watch this Darvel thread on the forum as its one of the busiest in the WOS section but with the amount of abuse fans of other teams give Darvel on this thread, (90% lolol), I genuinely think to myself, do they wake up thinking about their own team and then they think about Darvel and are unrealistic in their comments because of some hatred, its Darvel ffs, they are winning and in the top WOS league due to money and the way its run, if the money runs out, which will happen, they will fall down the leagues to reach their level. Fact: The holders of the WOS premier league are Darvel and Mick was the manager, so he has won silverware in a strong league. I agree its not going well for Darvel and they are where they are and think the Scottish cup run, which was fantastic has taken its toll for whatever reason. I will say however, I genuinely think with your comments about 'shat the bed' id say that you were not at the game against Tranent as you are giving them a disservice in your view that Tranent won the game because Darvel craped it. Tranent won hands down and deservedly so. Tranent to a man wanted that game and took it. Whatever team Darvel had out that day for whatever reasons, even if they were at full strength, Tranent wanted this win and got it Edited March 19, 2023 by Bestsinceslicebread 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like watching a team that were suddenly overthinking every pass and they were horrendously toothless in a match they were strong favs to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case then I apologize profusely for saying they shat the bed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeforchange Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Maybe they have decided they are better off playing in the league they are currently in given the new proposal for league reconstruction. It’s probably fair to say that our current leagues are better supported and more local than what they could possibly move into and being a licensed club you can still enter the big Scottish for maybe a wee pay day back and forward until that set up changes too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal has always been to climb through the leagues. Do you think beating Aberdeen made them think that the big leagues are not for them? Saturday was just a poor result, no excuses allowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfwit8 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Anyone know if the Darvel lads have a Stag Doo planned this season Asking for a friend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM-1 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 From the outside in is it a case that Darvel sign "big" names from leagues 1 and 2 who arrive thinking it will be a canter when the truth is their opponents outwork them through application and attitude? It's no secret Kennedy gets players in by offering them various business ventures in conjunction with signing up to play. Beith have a small squad with limited resources but are a very well drilled side this season and as much as Strain is a rocket he is doing some job. Talbot are Talbot and know what's required, go about their business quietly without a fuss so won't be far away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
