This decision will tell you everything you need to know about EOS


Recommended Posts

It's been a number of year since I watched any football within EOS. The two reasons have been the quality of football after the Lowland League was created and the running of the league. Outside Lothian and Leith I stand by the quality of football being quite poor however the below situation just sums up the league for me:

 

The Peebles V Lothian game was called off on Saturday due to Peebles being unable to field a team. They claim this was due to a sickness bug within their camp - given it was a semi final you feel naturally sorry for them. However the truth has now surfaced that they had attempted to get the fixture changed to the Friday night as alot of the players were away for the bank holiday weekend on a jolly. They then faced Lothian on Monday night and were able to field a full team plus subs as all the players had dramatically recovered within 2 days!!!

 

I now believe that the league are going to take a vote to see if Lothian should be awarded the tie or the game rescheduled. If the semi final is rescheduled then it is nothing short of a disgrace and shows how unprofessional and weak the league has become as anyone with half a brain can see what has happened, especially when they contacted the league prior to ask for the game to be changed to the Friday night. 

 

This would definitely not happen in the Lowland or Junior leagues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This effectively happened in the SPFL Play-off match last week. Four or Five Cove players were at a Stag party in Prague.

 

The first leg or the second? Can almost understand it at 3-0 down on aggregate, but if a player gets sent off early that still wasn't mission impossible for them if they were really keen on progression.

Name those players. As far as reported, the only player who would have played was the keeper- and the stand in got man of the match in the P and J. This is a line being spun by a lot of HL supporters to explain why their champs got pumped across the two legs.

The quality within the EOS has dramatically dropped, but with the start of the LL it was always going to happen ffs. As for the cancellation of games, hiding behind lies (illness, pitch) has been going on for years, even before the LL set up
