Hurlford and Talbot at least will disagree with that assertion! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmontheloknow Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Bear in mind the Scottish FA Cup (for clarification) is an option for clubs in Scottish AFA (winter) too via winning the Scottish Amateur Cup. So either Shortlees or Goldenhill will be in next season. All of these clubs (SJFA and SAFA) are registered members of the Scottish FA. There are also a (now increasing) number of clubs within the pyramid who are not holders of a Club Licence and they also can qualify, like the Juniors, by winning a cup (and then a supercup) or their league. All of these clubs are also registered members of the SFA, the only difference to Junior clubs being they play in an affiiliated league as opposed to an affiliated association (just like the Welfare FA, the Youth FA and the Women's FA are). This is something that Bill Leckie, in his latest brain deflation of an article, failed to grasp. Plenty of clubs within the pyramid that are as committed to it as some of the less keen Juniors!

I thought the present cup was being retired due to no spaces left for new names and a new cup will be presented this year, I meant no disrespect to Talbot or Hurlford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthteller Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Spot on. The clubs only have themselves to blame, they should have voted the secretary out if they were unhappy with him. Easy scapegoat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an employee of the SJFA and has the same rights as any other worker so unless he breaks the conditions of his contract of employment in some way then no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I have a suggestion. How about instead of all the self-flaggelation, on Saturdays we have a moratorium against posting in this or the other "why are the Juniors sh*te" thread? We can argue about it all week but come Saturdays we post about the game coming up, go to a game, post about the games we've been to. Remember why we love it. Who's with me?

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Is it a months wages for every year of service you get in most redundancies just now? Just if TJ was to go would he not be on to a pretty decent package? I’d be going if I was him! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
