santheman Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 1 hour ago, Robert James said: The SFA's RESPONSE to TJ's pyramid letter (which he announced he would be sending after he met with junior clubs), is essential to verify what he is claiming. Let's see if he will produce and circulate it. Otherwise this is nothing more than (verbal) smoke and mirrors. So let me get this straight. You are infering that the Secretary of the SJFA has sent out a deliberately misleading and untrue email to member clubs? That's some accusation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 So let me get this straight. You are infering that the Secretary of the SJFA has sent out a deliberately misleading and untrue email to member clubs? That's some accusation. With most organisations that would be some accusation, with the sjfa not so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Either TJ will take legal action or send santheman and the boys round.[emoji4] Im aware of TJ doing a couple of underhand things in relation to clubs planning to leave so it’s not exactly defamation of character to suggest the man’s clueless. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 A strange statement from Carnoustiehttps://www.thegowfers.com/club-statement-on-juniors-future/ Seems a fairly good and understandable statement to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statement that makes that as a key point but conveniently forgets the reason for the amount of games Lothian/tynecastle are playing is due to the problems with their pitch. If it wasn’t for that then there would have been no issues. Kelty/lthv matches were postponed due to lthv in Scottish cup and weather. Disappointed one of them wasn’t a mid week in the first half of the season but it is what it is. Better than finding out on Saturday night who the next weeks opponent is! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Here's Kelty's original fixture list: So basically the home game against LTHV was rescheduled because of their Scottish Cup involvement, and the away game in January was no doubt called off due to the weather. Everyone knew the EoS/SoS play-off dates so it's hardly the league or Kelty's fault that LTHV are having to play catch up... But good to see Carnoustie are rattled enough that they need to make that statement... Edited April 22, 2018 by Ginaro 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthteller Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Heard it yesterday along with 6 witnesses from a leading committee man attached to a team who will be leaving to join the EOS. When asked why the club were leaving his reply was "money" At least the guy was honest unlike some of the patronising shite you hear from the bullshitters on here. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 You can pick nits at the statement but the gist of it is fair for a club that wants to stay Junior, especially as they are one of those clubs affected by the North/South boundary. Then you see what they've decided to retweet and you can guess what they really think about things: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, imagine clubs wanting access to more money! The b*****ds! Imagine wanting extra income to improve facilities! The b*****ds! Imagine wanting extra income to improve youth teams!

cmontheloknow Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) I took the following pics at Newton Stewart in 2009... Popped back up last summer after they'd got their licence: The one game I have attended at Blairmount - in 2011 - had 20 people there. Small clubs have obtained their licence.

Were the SFA to shelve its unreasonable requirement that licensing be dependent on commitment to joining a pyramid there would be no attraction in joining the EOSFL for the vast majority of East Juniors. When you look at LTHV's fixture list your realise that a fixture list published at the start of the season is very much a work of fiction. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Last time I was at Carnoustie I got completely soaked no cover at all rather spend their cash on players but they come out with that shite ffs I'm slightly surprised because I thought Mark was pro pyramid when he represented St Andrews.The complete lack of clarification regarding the Tayside clubs way forward in any pyramid must surely be more upsetting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
