These adverse situations often thrust a leader in to the spotlight, who takes the opportunity to do themselves and everyone else a favour. Not this time though. Its absolutely crazy unless they've been promised a nice chunky redundancy package and it's I don't give a shite no more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a bigger crowd at Prestonfield for Rose v Forfar than at a Premier League ground for Ross County v Rose, where half of the crowd were supporting Linlithgow anyway. We've made up more than half of the crowd from Fraserburgh to Newton Stewart. The big Scottish Cup matches are the highlights of the season for me and the Rose support, and the team, have made them pretty special. Junior Cup wins apart, my favourite moment as a Rose fan was the second goal at Ross County. A thing of utter beauty. I'll second that. And just for a few minutes, at only 3-2 down half-way through the second half, we could dream. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimmo's Notes Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Saw a couple of Linlithgow "big" Scottish Cup ties against Raith Rovers and the midweek replay against Wick Academy. Big support came down from Wick, by the way, dear knows what time they got home! Junior clubs seem to get their biggest crowds of the season for these games, the way it used to be in the seniors. Particularly remember the Sunday papers would print the cup crowds on the back pages, 12,000 at the Ayr v Killie game, 8,000 at East Fife etc. Maybe an influx of Junior clubs can revive those days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add to that in the first Forfar tie we equalised just before half-time, went 3-1 down then pulled one back then equalised! Against Ross County (who were at the time fourth in the Premier League, remember) we equalised just before half-time, went 3-1 down then pulled one back then.... OK, the dream wasn't realised but those "big cup" days were special. However, I'll miss the Junior Cup adventures as well. I just hope that whatever takes its place will be as interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They applied for a license when it was available to junior clubs and each year meet the requirements and pass the audit to continue to hold a license ........."historic rights" is a jovial slang title for the 5 clubs, including LR, who "beat the clock" before the change of SFA rules. Not to be taken seriously ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert James Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 6 hours ago, stanley said: Not sure how Linlithgow's license counts as "infamous" or involves "historic rights". It was only a few years ago they got the license and they got it because they met the criteria. The "historic rights" issues applied to clubs like Glasgow Uni who became SFA members decades ago and only got a license by moving to Airdrie. That was based on history. They would not have got that licence had they not previously been SFA members and only playing in the Caledonian League. Quite true that Glasgow Uni, Golspie Sutherland and Girvan had much much longer "historic rights" under the old SFA membership rules (nothing wrong with that) than Linlithgow or Banks O'Dee. However, LR & BoD were the last Juniors to benefit under the (not so) old SFA rules, and had they applied for a licence a year after the change, they too would have been rejected as not meeting the current criteria. So to avoid confusion, perhaps we should reclassify the 5 clubs, as follows : GU, GS & Girvan were licensed under the "ancient historic rights", and LR & BoD were licensed under the "not so old historic rights". (Just joking). My post was NOT meant as an attack on any of the 5 clubs. It was merely a humorous reference to the collective term used on P&B much earlier, being brought up again ! You will also note that "My Team" is Glasgow University FC, so I am unlikely to be critical of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, I hope (insert the name of any West junior club) never joins the SFA Pyramid because someone with a club in the EoS was once abusive towards me. Mr Norwich you sure do have mental issues, it's nae wonder even your fellow Talbot fans can't stand you. How many alias bans you had on pnb yet you still keep coming back.........you fit the criteria of an oxegyn thief. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutankhamen Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 So 25? teams have left the Juniors to join the EoS League. Wonder when most of them figure out promotion is a non starter and leaving the Juniors was a mistake. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
