1(a) certainly value for money in the entertainments stakes this season with it going to last game. Agreed re Eaglesham, aging squad and bulging waistlines. Saw them twice this season and surprised they pipped Kilsyth. Did the Divisiin 1 Cup at the end of the season shed any light on the great 1a v 1b scandal [emoji2] [emoji2]

Good game?

How did the game go?

Aye right [emoji12]

SAFL used to have a Premier (1 & 2) and non premier Leagues (1, 2 & 3??) Teams who were mid table in the non premier Leagues got promoted into the Premier League because they wrote a nice letter to the Committee whilst teams in the non premier above them in the league were stepped over, nonsense situation. I believe it was challenged under whatever the SAFA rules were and they promptly scrapped premier/non premier and promotion went by merit and not any other reason. No one will go in at any level of the SAFL other than the bottom No matter how good or how much money they pay.

It's a reasonable point Mick is making. If these clubs have a significant amount of players playing with other clubs on a Saturday it's a big risk assuming they will all jump ship when they switch to Saturday. It's a risk for the Central and I would have thought they would have let them play elsewhere for a season or two to assess if likely to be a good addition. No one wants teams folding during a season and they are running the risk of that happening.

No disrespect to Doune, but........ If you didn't want to disrespect them keep that chat to your dressing room.

Yes, Premier looking good. Was surprised by Cambria result but 100% deserved. Took the game in and don't know if it was a hangover from Oban last week but looked tired and lethargic. Obviously 1st half red card didnt help but still not great. Very rarely troubled the keeper and was a bit of a disappointment as I expected a lot more.

Fell of the cliff or...... played some 1b teams and reality hitting home [emoji23]

The whole Calie Div 1a being harder than 1b may just have been proven wrong today. See EKYM beat Milngavie 5-0. Milngavie sitting comfortably top of 1a and a few on here suggesting 1a teams much better than 1b. Going by that result it could be argud the Mungo would have romped 1a if they had been in it as EKYM only beat them 2-0 according to Calie website

Agreed, I believe Stirling have been extremely unlucky being placed in 1b. Going by that result would have strolled 1a [emoji2] [emoji2]

If I trained I would expect to play if I was the best. But no one knows bar Milngavie. Just seems its a huge jump to ASSUME in order to back up the whole 1a and 1b nonsense.

Was at Milngavie as well

This is not the EPL and the FA Cup  ?? So they told all their good players who train and turn up on a Saturday that they are 'rested' and won't get a game for another week?? I find that hard to believe tbh

It's all about opinions I suppose but Stirling, 2nd bottom of 1b with only 1 win all season, just drew 2-2 AWAY from home v Milngavie. I think your post is quite disrespectful to St Mungos and Westerlands who I think would argue could hold their own against the top of 1a.

St Mungo also promoted. Decent young side and another good addition to the Caley Premier.

Took in Cambria v Wishaw yesterday and a very good result for Cambria. I think they could sneak up the table with their games in hand. Sidelines could do with chilling out a wee bit but decent display and a deserved 3 points. See Eaglesham in 1a in a similar position picking up points with their games in hand. Still too tight to call though. Meanwhile EKYM won 1b with 15 out of 15 wins. Some achievement that.

I'm going for Eaglesham and Milngavie for promotion from 1a. Think Eaglesham will make up the points with their games in hand and Milngavie should edge it. 1b I see East Kilbride can win this Saturday if the best Rothsay. St Mungos will get 2nd place as Dunblane getting beat Saturday takes them out of it I think. All good additions to Premier imho

Thanks. V.interesting. grp1 Doune/Mungo grp2 EK/Milngavie grp4 Calendar/Westerlands/Eaglesham Good teams all and see how both divisions do v each other.

Looks like 1a is a cracker of a division. So many good sides with a chance of winn8ng the league/promotion. I thought on paper both Div 1s looked fairly even but I could be proven wrong. I took in Milngavie yesterday v dal riata and was decent game. Milngavie deserved winners and I think they are still in the mix. Is there a Presidents Cup this season? If there was it would be interesting to see how the teams from each division do against each other.

Thanks, know it. Cheers

Where is it being played. Fancy taking that in. Heard good things about Kilsyth.

Just asked the question, Castlemilk was one.

Not sure but got told they got accepted into Central afterwards

Heard they nocked back few (pennies defo). Not sure reasons tho. If becos reconstruction or just not suitable
