It's a cultural difference. Don't be fooled by the usual cliches about junior football having a nice, family atmosphere and being different in that respect to the senior game. The clubs are community run and it's cheaper than senior football but when it comes to the terracing banter, most junior fans are more ferocious than any milk sop senior fans.
Most junior fans swear, a lot, and do so every Saturday home or away.
As a Bot fan I honestly thought our support was extremely well behaved. If you thought what the Huntly team received was abuse then please never attend a Talbot v Cumnock/Glens/Kilbirnie/Irvine Meadow game, as anyone shocked by yesterday would no doubt swoon on the spot at the terracing shouts at any of those games.

It was just the odd few that I had heard. All in all everybody else was a credit to the club and the money man at the social club was a very happy man yesterday

Thought both managers were very honest in the audios after the game,it makes a change from the norm when they seem to be watching a different game from the fans.Heard today that Si is away next week so that and Andrzej missing will make it even harder.

Saturday was a cracking cup tie played in horrible conditions. However for your manager to state in the Sunday Mail that Huntly had not played as badly this season took the shine off a superb Talbot result considering the demise of Stranraer and Annan Athletic. Also your chairmans utterings in the match programme where he bleated about round three and sending us home to Auchinleck to concentrate on Junior business smacked of elitism and was proved to be as near the point as our last season's squad which was printed in the match rag. You lot are coming down to "God's little acre" and if you think our away support are vociferious then you better get some ear plugs on board. Also your statement about our support being out of order I was in the enclosure when your mild mannered morons had a go at James Latta after he was elbowed of the ball by the zylzkiiwz zzllykylzz or something like that!

Yeah, I just published the player pen pics I had received from the woman who runs your club website . and the squadlist was the same one on your club website (same website which is advertising a game from october 3rd).

His name is Andrzej-Slawomir Kleczkowski

oh, and this was in the programme supporting the show racism the red card campaign

Quote :

Players at all Active Nation Scottish Cup ties this afternoon are showing their support today for Show Racism the Red Card, Scotland’s campaign against racism in football and society, as part of the Football Against Racism in Europe action weeks.

Both Huntly FC and Auchinleck Talbot JFC are committed to football as an enjoyable experience for all, regardless of racial, ethnic or religious background, and condemn racial and religious discrimination in football and society.

Please show your support for the players’ action and help to show Racism the Red Card.

Brems was MOM by a mile.

I can see him getting a high rating and a few votes from the player rater panel

Poor game yesterday all in all, huntly played poor and thats the second game in as many weeks we've played in bad weather and the team seem to be like pre-madonnas and cant cope with the rain, i'm pretty sure talbot are goin to be a much better team at home and by no means will the replay be any easier, brems showed his class today but we're goin to have to play much better next weekend and not have to rely on the only player who put in a decent performance yesterday.

The Highland League has always tried to be a family friendly league, to try and get more children to the games they introduced a scheme where 2 under 14s who are accompanied by an adult get free admission to league games and this has been well supportered by families who obviously feel its safe to bring their children to the games. There has always been friendly banter between clubs, true there are bam pots but they are usually 'shot down' with banter. So maybe we should count ourselves lucky we dont have games like the above.

i think everyone who was at the game knows brems kept us in it! hopefully he won't be as busy next week. If Si is away next week I wonder if Dorrat will get put into left back with Ewen and Taylor up front and Lombardi playing off them.

Some of the comments on here are a bit disturbing. I will never forget our glorious Scottish Cup win against high flying Dumbarton in 1991/92. That laid the foundation for our glory years.

But one of the things which sticks in my mind about that day is the number of Dumbarton fans who, no matter how gutted they were, approched the Huntly fans at the end and offered to shake hands and wish us all the best in the next round. That demonstrated the true spirit of how the Scottish cup should be approached!

Lets' hope we all enjoy a good day out next Saturday whatever the result.

Following the two Manager's reaction on posted yesterday we now bring you a bonus player interview from the game, go the features section for more

1- Huntly probably hadn't played that badly all season. Good point, glad he noticed.

2- James Latta didn't help himself by gesturing to the fans, if he was elbowed then the red card was justified but his immature display after the incident was a perfect example of why he plays for a junior team and not a higher level.

3- Racism is not clever or funny and again, is a perfect example .

well said Dom

don't know if anyone else noticed but both players were pushing and sticking a elbow into each other for most of the game, someone was going to get sent off. as for the linesman (assistant ref) he only raised his flag after he was getting talbot players running towards him. i would be very suprised if he even saw the incident.


as for the fans where i was standing there were a few shouting and swearing but mostly just singing and have a bit of crack, i shook a few of the supporters hands after the match as they will feel robbed but we all knew it would be a tough game

i can only hope for a good game down there hoping Huntly play well

hope they can get Taylor fitter than he was on saturday ???? he shouldn't even have been playing in my opinion. hope mikey gets the start he deserves.

"3- Racism is not clever or funny and again, is a perfect example ."

There is only one thing worse than racism and that's making accusations of racism when there is no case, just what are you on about?

There seems to be a lot of comment about Huntly not playing so badly again, their worst performance of the season etc etc. Now, it might well be true and that it was just a bad day at the office. However, there is every chance that Talbot and their level is higher than Huntly are used to. I suppose we'll find out on Saturday!

r u high or something

how can it not be racist to write a jumble of letters for a foreign players name.

Congratulations to BREMS for winning the Highland League Player of the Week
No one could argue with that.
Just need to work on those kicks now
By the way we timed his 100 metre sprint to celebrate the goal at 14.6 seconds
However his record did not count as it was wind assisted

See heavy rain forecast for Ayrshire on Friday

No, he has an unusual very long name, the only accusations that can be made is ignorance or stupidity but not racism. It does my box in that someone making a joke (very bad one perhaps) about a complicated name difficult to pronounce is accused of racism. This is the type of nonsense that plays right into the hands of organizations like the BNP with people unable to make any sort of comment without this type of retort. Get a grip and find a sense of humour, there is nothing racist about it.

at the moment he's well in the lead with the player rater man of the match vote (one panel member still vote) and we should have the results published once all voting forms are returned

because your playing so well in your own league just now... would you say yourself that if huntly beat talbot on saturday... that would be talbots worst performance of the season?

Maybe difficult for you to pronounce! But then that maybe says more about the intelligence of the "bot fans" and their "ignorance or stupidity" as you so brilliantly put yourself.

You can't justify racism mate.

Teams can get beat and put in a good performance, just don't get the rub of the green. It was for us going into the unknown on Saturday, in theory the Highland league is supposed to be a better standard than Junior football, we were apparently playing one of the better sides in it but, if your honest, Talbot looked like the team from a league or two higher, perhaps that is the reality, the West Premier is the toughest of all the Junior Leagues and perhaps a better standard than the Highland league is now. Therefore, Saturday was perhaps a step up in level for Huntly which is why they struggled for long periods of the match. However, it was only one game and I am speculating.
