newcastle broon Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Don't forget the fact that it's done geographically so if I'm glasgow BSC, I'd be right pissed of at being drawn in a group with spartans, city and welfare- IMO the leagues three best teams although Gretna are pushing that assumption. Glasgow must be thinking 'hang on, surely it's all geographical or not at all- can't be just two groups done that way?' Do you mean a geographical central group of EK,BSC and Uni o Stirling canny be right surely not ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Perhaps the clubs should go back to the organisers of the competition and demand that something is done about it. Oh wait, it was the clubs themselves that organised the competition and set all the rules. The perceived "hard done by" clubs were present when the rules were drawn up. If some are now unhappy about it, they can propose a change at the next meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a funny set of rules then,I said before nothing to stop it being played throughout the season all in or even the groundhog weekend since everything seems regionalized under the current format. Or perhaps ww should just go junior and have local derbies and keep our license for the big Scottish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a vote that then gets carried if it gets a majority, every single thing that happens has to be 100% agreed by every club...... Seven subs anyone? Some teams apparently disagreed with this but then they couldn't have as it passed at a meeting so every team must have agreed to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigyboy Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Who cares anyway....it's a cup competition and we at BSC have landed a tough section.....it is what it is....No moaning from us, just need to get on with it. From my point of view it gives us real quality games over the festive period....bring it on I say!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBKD Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Also, a group with gala, selkirk and vale and one of them guaranteed to progress? Cannae agree with that- they're all bottom half and would have been predicted to be there by most at this stage. Selkirk have games in hand and if they win them this takes them well into the top half. Look at the bigger picture surely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcastle broon Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Selkirk have games in hand and if they win them this takes them well into the top half. Look at the bigger picture surely not. Best having points in bag though. they will struggle if they lose goals like they did satday mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surely not! Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Selkirk have games in hand and if they win them this takes them well into the top half. Look at the bigger picture surely not.There's no bigger picture- they will finish bottom half. And if they win their ONE game in hand on Stirling in 7th (last team in top half) they will still be behind them by a point. They've picked up about six points since August- what makes you think they'll win those games in hand? The turn over of players there seems to suggest that all isn't well.

Grim O'Grady Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 What Selkirk have achieved off the pitch is immense. Now they are working at getting it sorted on the pitch too, every credit to them, it's a smashing club in the deepest darkest egg-chasers territory. They've got a good history & I for one would like to see them do themselves & their town proud. Smashing away day down there. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stating the facts in relation to their league position as well as wondering what's up that the player turnover had happened on such a large scale. Could understand if there was a change of gaffer as new guy brings in own players but seems strange to have so many comings and goings.I'll also add that I'm on record on this forum saying how great it is to have a selkirk team that ( at that time ) challenged the top of the table- unfortunately they haven't won many since I did that! Maybe I've jinxed them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Only the one game played today - all others falling foul of water, ice and snow. That solitary match finished Spartans 2-1 Edinburgh City so the Ainslie Park men make a good start. Central Section B Spartans..... P1.. 3pts, +1 BSC Glasgow..

HibeeJibee Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Three on and three off today with another waterlogged pitch at BSC Glasgow and the same at Prestonpans and Innerleithen...

HibeeJibee Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Things began to be decided today... Spartans have won Central B, qualifying in the process, while Dalbeattie and Gretna have both taken the qualifying slots in the south-west. Threave have sadly been eliminated. No ball has yet been kicked in the Borders group. Dumfries & Galloway Section Dalbeattie... P1.. 3pts, +3 Gretna 2008.. P1.. 3pts, +1 =========================== Threave Rov.. P2.. 0pts, -4 Central Section A E Kilbride... P1.. 3pts, +2 Edinburgh U.. P1.. 1pt, 0 =========================== Stirling Un.. P2.. 1pt, -2 Preston Ath.. P0.. 0pts Central Section B Spartans.....

Cicero Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Is there any advantage to winning the group rather than just qualifying? I am thinking of our postponed match against Dalbeattie. Is the replay a meaningless match or will the group winners get a home draw in the all in round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
