Although Darvel are team from the lower league they proved to be pretty efficient in this Cup, they managed to trash League one side and they are more than capable to score again today. In the Scottish Cup they already played three rounds last year and they recorded pretty high wins against Tynecastle (East of Scotland League Premier Division) 8:0, Dalbeattie Star (Lowland Football League) 7:1 and Montrose (League One) 5:2. They are the most efficient team in the league with forty two goals scored from thirteen games.

Aberdeen had the ball in the back of the net and it should have stood. To have an exit in the cup at this stage to Darvel then it's a huge decision for him. To go out of the Scottish Cup at this stage would be disastrous " The travelling Aberdeen fans made their feelings known at half-time. He told the BBC: "To be perfectly honest, Darvel were the better team. I don't know if there's enough goodwill there from the chairman to actually allow Jim Goodwin to stay." It shows the level a lot of the boys are at. The West of Scotland League Premier Division champions dumped the Dons out the cup at the fourth round stage thanks to a 19th minute goal from Jordan Kirkpatrick. From the first day I came here I told the board we are going to build something special. The Ayrshire side will now go on to face League One side Falkirk in the fifth round at home next month. We’ve come here as the Premiership team against a team who are many tiers below us and we should've put on a better performance, it’s as simple as that. Replays showed Leighton Clarkson was several yards onside, while some excellent saves from Chris Truesdale in the Darvel goal also kept the Ayrshire in the tie.
