patriot1 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 A farcical end to the season. This is why we need a proper season long fixture list and clubs should be able to play postponed games midweek under floodlights if they have them. Every year we see teams playing with skeleton squads at this time of year as players head off on holiday or you find that once teams have nothing to play for they have problems fielding strong lineups with kids or amateurs on the bench. There shouldn't be the need for teams to have to play three games a week throughout May while others have finished their seasons. And no team should have to play a playoff game at two days notice having not played a competitive fixture in four weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie n beans Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 In this day and age their is no reason not to produce a season long fixture list, getting 2or3 games issued is totally wrong and unprofessional , going by last nights result you could argue it had an effect on the score with Sauchie having a month of inactivity, it doesn't help losing a man and Lochee have been playing very competitive games recently winning a cup and trying to grab third place. Maybe the result would have been the same but it does need looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUSSEYBOY Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I stay in fauldhouse and I've left the village under a blanket of snow and by the time I reached the by-pass there wasn't any snow to be found.So by your reckoning fauldhouse should be punished for it's location rather than anything else.Typical post from a city plonker. City plonker! The big bright lights of Gorebridge! Didnt say any team should be punished for its location. Location of teams has very little to do with games getting called off. Penicuik for example, isnt a popular place for cruise ships to stop off at (not near the sea) - yet has had no league games off this season at home The reason games are called off - leaving us every season in the same situation is clubs Failure to prepare parks properly failure to invest in parks poor quality drainage lack of knowledge regarding what needs done lack of help from volunteers etc training on parks. referees finding excuses to call games off rather than reasons to get them on. region scheduling games on 'problem parks' playing games when our weather is at its worst. design and location of some grounds - trees, buildings etc blocking light and growth. your health and safety people sticking their noises in to the game clubs not able to install all weather! surfaces and SJ Cup games taking priority over league games The only way this end of season inballance will stop is if the majority of the above points are looked at and a fixtures list is introduced. To do that the bending over for the SJ Cup would need to stop, replays etc from round 3 onwards would have to go. Double/treble playing of matches on all weather parks on the same day to get games played and moving more games away from the winter and into the summer. The point i made was there are clubs who do invest money and time into their park - rather than spend it bringing in 1 or 2 extra players. Why should they do that if some other clubs use that money to boost their squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Ah, so they are just shite then, with due respect to Lochee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 In terms of Superleague teams I saw this season they were certainly amongst the 3 weakest so not shocked that Lochee got past them (but a bit surprised that it was so easy considering that last years playoff went to penalties) and I don't think that even if Sauchie had been playing league games up until Saturday that the final result would have been any different. If Fauldhouse had a decent striker or two they'd certainly have finished a lot higher up the league, they were by far the best of the teams that finished below Camelon until they got to the 18 yard box. (from what I saw before anyone gets too upset!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yesterday afternoon I read online from the Alloa Advertiser website the Sauchie managers meltdown/rant about the first leg 5-0 defeat. Red card killed us, the players not good enough, I am not good enough, most of the players who have already signed for next season will not be here as you need a different type of player in the lower league etc.etc. Surprised Sauchie fielded 11 players last night after that. .............and of course a massive well done to Lochee, looking forward to the pie and chips when back at Thomson Park.

BroxyBear Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Was at the game at sauchie and lochee looked a lot fitter and better across the park. Don't know if sauchie were missing a few usuals or just no match sharp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
