FootballChat Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I have huge respect for Darren Gilbert, whilst I’m obviously not a fan of some of his previous conduct towards referees, nobody can question his dedication and influence to football in the county. Sadly, the time has come for him to step down and let someone else try and progress the club now. He seems to have run out of ideas and the passion isn’t there to the same level it used to be. I certainly don’t think Matt Hayden is the answer though, a step in the wrong direction I feel for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsman10 Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Odd signing that for Heston not sure Colwell is the player to fill the void of tucker leaving good tidy player but he at the end of his career now .

Probably feels he done all he can for the club now and can see the club is getting left behind . No real plan to go up and progress like the others around him. The crowds are non existent his pull with getting in top quality players is gone.

Southwest football fan Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Are bodmin struggling to field a team? Notice a few duel registered starting with a relatively small bench ....

100%cornish Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 With any luck Bodmin will have a weakened team on Saturday when they come here to play the G it doesnt seem fair they can play Helstons Stu Bowker who has scored twice so far for Bodmin vs Wendron Dan Jennings with the other goal Think the G got a good chance of beaten Bodmin at the weekend because all the western league players will be back at there normal clubs ,and Bodmin losing there best player Steve Colwell to Helston could be a weak Bodmin team this weekend even Darren maybe putting his boots on again . cornish leg end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golong Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 No consistency with Bodmin, they'll never get a settle team pulling in players from other clubs / leagues. Bowker is a talisman at Helston, Mass would lose his marbles if he were to get injured playing in a meaningless cup game for another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one of them cares abut the club as they all play for other teams. who on the bench that plays full time if that was me I have jumped in the car and gone ? also Massey signed the wrong player from Bodmin.

WendronOfficial Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Claret and blue tinted post incoming with perhaps a bit of saltiness too. Bizarre one at The Underlane today - really felt we did enough to push Bodmin and were the better side for long spells. The ruthlessness of Bodmin’s front line allowed them to capitalise on some of our errors whilst we hit the woodwork 5 times and missed several other good chances. For the difference in scoreline I actually thought it was a relatively even game. Did hear that Bodmin only had 4 regular Bodmin players in their squad today but that may just be a figure that was thrown about. That’s by the by anyway as you’ve got to beat what’s in front of you on the day. Good crowd today and well officiated by today’s officials too. All the best to Bodmin in the next round and to their ‘keeper who looked like he injured his arm. mattelot and TheolderIgetthebetterIwas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best to Bodmin in the next round and to their ‘keeper who looked like he injured his arm. Was at the game today and counted 5 players for Bodmin whose 1st club play at a higher level. (Apologies if incorrect) Stu Bowker, Reece Shanley, Steve Colwell. (Helston) Levi Landricombe (Buckland but understand has now left) Tallan Burns (Tavistock) Not sure about any of the others. Two points to make. 1. This is meant to be a "League Cup" I am sure all is within the rules but is it morally right to field a team where at least 5 of the 11 starters play in a higher league? 2. Steve Massey, who was at the game is surely playing with fire allowing Stu Bowker to play for another team. Helston have been considerably weakened already by the departure of Billy Tucker. (played two, lost two since he left) Bowker is their other outstanding talent and an injury sustained elsewhere to him would seriously dent their title hopes. Couldn't see Westy allowing this at Falmouth! I wonder how Wendron feel about the game. Hit the woodwork 5 times and Bodmin's two outstanding performers on the day, Burns and Bowker don't even play most games for Bodmin. (Admittedly, Dan Jennings did score a hat-ful on the day as well but the opening two goals from Bowker did set the scene for the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoffy Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 This has been going on one way or another in Cornish football for donkeys years and will continue to do so 🤷🏼♂️ from my point of view there is nothing we can do about it, Bodmin broke no rules so they go through and we don't and we wish them the best. My concern is the next round is on a Saturday so they've spent an awful lot of money which may be better spent elsewhere at the club to go a round further 🤔 Wendron will dust themselves down and focus on liskeard next week at home, this will not define our season, thanks to all for turning out today 🥰 The Town Man, mattelot and Treff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given it is a "League" cup. Why can't there be a requirement that the players have to have played a minimum number of games in the league ( for any team) before they can play in the cup?

sportsman10 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 To be fair you can’t blame the players for helping out some needed minutes anyway but the whole thing in general is wrong. so Bodmin are now through and arguably half the team won’t even be involved. No wonder people have lost interest in watching Bodmin . I do feel the manager next year has to try and build a team of players committed to the club. Of course the odd one will move on but then the club needs to move on and sign a replacement they might just start to get an identity and togetherness as a club again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the clubs who dominated Cornish football in the eighties and nineties (specifically Blazey, Falmouth, Liskeard and Saltash) as guides, they all had years in the wilderness. The thing that would make we worry about Bodmin is that they don't appear to have the loyal support or strong and established committees that these clubs have. Getting it right behind the scenes is essential before you can move forward on the pitch. mattelot, Xanie25 and Lafs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a good game - draw would have been fair with both teams missing chances - but Chappers and your penalty takers did the job.

sportsman10 Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 I do think they should bring in the rule that if you leave and Join to play for another team in a league above you can only play once for a team in a lower league . It would stop all of this turning out for multiple teams and even help the clubs move on and maybe look at signing players from a lower league to step up. If your not careful the whole peninsula league will be in danger of being a joke just a league used by western league players to get fit or have a laugh in what happen to the link bodmin had with st cleer ?? Didn’t they sign 3or 4 to step up this Season haven’t seen any involved would have been perfect to give them a run out yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
