kazy Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Match off today to to "unforseen circumstances". Leith said this morning they expected the EoS FA to comment "shortly", but I haven't seen anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmontheloknow Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Did they only realise they could play players registered at Hampden when faced with a teamsheet requiring player IDs or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Car load of us had decided to go down and watch their first game on the basis it was a nice day and the prospect of a competitive game trumped the friendlies our teams were playing - and found out en route the game was off necessitating a quick detour to Eyemouth. International clearance isn't - or shouldn't - be an "unforseen circumstance", and if it was an ongoing issue the game should have probably have been pulled at least the night before, and certainly not with around three hours till kickoff. I'm not thinking of the likes of us who at least got a game in, but more in terms of Leith who will have no doubt gone to the trouble and expense of hiring a bus etc, and the league in general who have been made to look a bit diminished by this sort of thing happening with their newest member...

old speckled hen Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Maybe they were simply unaware about clearance being required if they've always just played under the FA banner previously and used English based players but you'd have thought they would have had a few players over the years who had played in Scotland and then played for them who would need clearance. It applies to all, from kids teams right to the top level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 There's no way a Berwick club would not know about international clearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I remember Berwick having similar problems with their English based under 19 players a few seasons back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
