    Things that didn't happen thread for this horse shite.

    Have a good night mate.

    If Buckie know the processes why did they completely dingy the process and reminders of the process that has now stopped them being promoted? "Nobody knows if a grace period would be granted" except we do because you've been given numerous examples of clubs who are currently being given grace periods to complete things. We're not doing very well keeping it a closed shop considering Shire, Rovers, Cowden and Brechin have all disappeared yet to be seen again. I await you saying this has been achieved in spite of the conspiracy to keep all you horrible wee village sides in the doldrums.

    I'm not arguing the rules are correct. If I was in charge I probably wouldn't make clubs meet bronze level for League 2 and I'd probably automatically relegated Club 42 but the rules are there and Buckie have ignored them, thus they have no one else to blame but themselves.
  5. The Moonster
    You keep saying clubs were given 10 months notice to complete it but also keep ignoring the fact that clubs can apply for longer as long as they can demonstrate their plan. Buckie ignored everything and got denied entry to the competition. You're having a go at whole show here when it's simply one club that has fucked up, and they probably meant to f**k up too.

    It's a lot more common than you think for clubs to fall short of license requirements and be given a period of time to resolve it. Dumbarton had issues with their floodlights not being of the required standard and got a pass for it for years because the owners were planning on moving the club. As soon as the plans to move the club died we had to invest in the floodlights. The point here is that clubs need to at the very least have dialogue with the league and I would imagine more often than not a reasonable compromise is sought, as evidenced by the number of clubs you are crying about not meeting requirements. Buckie can say what they like, they've fucked this for themselves and embarrassed the HL.

    You're having a mare here and I don't know why. Buckie have clearly made no attempt to gain their license or even have dialogue with the authorities to see how they can work towards it. I know nothing of EK but Bonnyrigg have been making ground improvements since they came up, I assume to meet these requirements. You say these clubs haven't met deadlines but you've no idea what deadlines or dialogue they've had. It's clear given this decision that Buckie have done f**k all and now want everyone to point the finger at the league, when it's their own wee bumpkin club that has embarrassed itself.

    If you drive an SUV you're a bigger arsehole.
  9. The Moonster
    I do this on purpose to folk behind me driving big stupid SUVs. I apologise for nothing.

    I don't imagine Elgin are going to be battling like their life depends on it, they're safe and have nothing to play for. Of course injuries can happen at any time but I suspect this will be played out closer to a friendly than a competitive league match. I'd rather we kept a strong team where possible and went out for the win. Another clean sheet would be magic too.
  11. The Moonster
    No evidence to get a team out of League 1! He's been at this level for 1 season with one of the smallest budgets in the league
  12. The Moonster
    If you're a teuchter, yes.
  13. The Moonster
    No, teuchters do. Hence, everyone north of Stirling is a teuchter.
  14. The Moonster
    Precisely. Fans are tribal, they don't particularly care who their team are playing they just want to go and watch them. You see it too with the B team stuff, attendances are down for those games but you still get a core of the support who will go and watch it even if they don't agree with it. If fans want change they need to stop giving money to their clubs and not enough people will do that to ever force the hand.

    I sadly couldn't make it down to the Trust meeting last night but I hear a lot of interesting things being discussed. Will there be minutes/a run down sent out to members?
  16. The Moonster
    You might struggle to maintain an interest but fans are still turning out for games in Scotland more than they are in any other country in Europe (per capita). If fans don't like the set up the simple solution is to stop going and change will happen. Keep turning up and you'll be served the same fare.

    Half my family is from Dundee, definitely teuchters.
  18. The Moonster
    I find it funny that Teuchters get so enraged by Weegie patter yet talk to each other like this.
  19. The Moonster
    Russell Martin coming across as a right good c**t there.
  20. The Moonster
    Is it not just that Arbroath have a far bigger budget than East Fife, and play a league above them, and such staying with Arbroath over moving to a lesser team in a lesser division for a lesser wage makes complete sense? I know you boys are determined to preach that Dick has lost it but it feels a stretch to say players don't like him because they're signing more lucrative contracts with yourselves.

    Well I thought Cage Warriors was a bit of a let down, not just the fights but the whole set up at Braehead is laughable. Sending everyone outside for drinks, queuing for up to an hour for a proper awful selection at ridiculous prices. I get that these events will have their sponsors and those get pushed but to only have bottles of warm Madri on offer as a beer is criminal. A pish venue. Bungard let himself down and the sharp exit of absolutely everyone when he tapped said a lot about what the general feeling of the night was. Clancy looks like the only guy who may well have the potential to go far, McEwan was decent but was up against a good fighter in Else.

    Enjoy the commentator stating it's simply God who has stopped Stranraer winning games this year and not in fact their piss poor finishing. Really good highlights though, we looked a bit shaky at the back but still kept a clean sheet so can't complain too much. Good to see Orsi looking sharp too.
  23. The Moonster
    I'm with David W here, keep the foot down and go into the play offs winning these last 3 games

    I thought Rice had played in a WC qualifier but happy to be corrected. The point stands, if a player really would much rather play for England then I don't see the point in calling them up, Clarke seems to share that view and I'm quite happy with that. If they want to play for us and they're good enough, in ye come.
  25. The Moonster
    It's a good theory aside from the fact players can still defect to other nations after playing for us (see Declan Rice) and it requires the player to agree to the call up in the first place, which may not happen if they are still deciding who to play for. Waiting to see if a player is (a) good enough and (b) interested in playing for us is by far the best option here.
