To be fair it would normally be another 4 weeks before they could accurately do that anyway

Does a suspension carry over to following session for bookings in seniors football ?

Again Cunny I do agree. It was a great day for the club and the community and it was a shame to see that he couldn't play. Clubs are the ones that need to try and force these rule changes through tho. Although something as big as that change is likely needing to come all the way from the Big boys at the SFA. Personally I'd make it Finals only tho. Start with semi finals and next thing people will be wanting title deciders treated the same way. Who is it that's suspended mate or would u rather not say

I think u are correct and should be changed. I'm sure clubs can put suggestions forward to change rules like this. Did u do it after Roggy was suspended 2 years ago? Also want Roggy 10 bookings?

Over 35s only in ayrshire as far as I'm aware

Even with reconstruction tho. If they did not Declare league winners who would take the premier league place. Yeah if they declare winners its straight forward

Oft make that 4th from the last completed season as I'm sure mossblown came up 3rd after Hurlford Ammies folded.

If they Do Null and void this season then surely they just have to just go with 11 next season no?? Or promote 3rd from the last completed season

Has that it been confirmed like ?

Season will be cancelled without a doubt. I think it will come down to what happens with the league placings. My opinion is that i know some senior leagues are allowing placings to stand but for me needs to be null and void across the board at Amateur level. In ayrshire some teams have played less than half of the games of others and even a points per game ratio isnt fair as very unlikely at this level that its anywhere close to playing through the fixtures evenly. It's a shame but bigger things going on. All the best to all teams and I hope all bounce back after this long Pre season break just as strong as before. Keep safe

Yes I think u could be right and it's an excellent idea for the teams in the majors to be allowed to finish this season's cups. Even if it's the start of next season. There are always teams that get bys in the 1st round of the scottish and west cups. Why cant the semi finalists from this season's cups get a by in the first round of next seasons and try play the semi finals on that date ( or friday /sunday either side of it) then just the finals to try fit it. If it's done in this calendar year then they are still the Scottish/West 19/20 winners. On that note. If the season is null and void and the scottish cup cant be played at all or on time, who will be the Amateur representatives? The "new" Coville? For winning 18/19. Eastfield as beaten finalists from 18/19 Or just none ??

I think the SAFA will just do what the seniors do. Well maybe minus the corrupt part

Yes I think it's a certainty and also does nothing to help get summer football started either.

Basically a forum is for discussing and given opinions. I only gave my opinion that moving to summer will maybe get more people watching but personally I cant see it attracting any extra players. That made u respond by questioning my attitude.

Attitudes like mine?? [emoji1787][emoji1787] what attitude is that? Someone having a different opinion from you ?? f**k me u sound like one of the pampered superstars I'm talking about. I dont believe it will make a difference to participating numbers. Maybe crowds. If that's an attitude issue then ur maybe better staying off forums

I can honestly say iv never heard of a player not playing due to weather. If u have players like that u really need shot of them. I know thats a common training excuses but surely not a game. This generation of players are already pampered enough now we are tslling about restructuring over 100 years of football to accommodate it.

I'm clearly in the minority but regardless of my opinion. Its hardly un natural or unprecedented. It took the Lee's 3/4 attempted to play the first game of the season this season. That's when everyone elses games were on. Was that down to unnatural weather or more than likely the early season squad we had available? The weather isn't gona solve Amateur problems. Far from it. Yes more people may want to watch the games but going by the vast majority of seasons teams are weaker on the park May - September.

Everyone would need to change. Or change league by league and not participate in the national cups. Unless our team are expected to be on hand to play in the 4 month off season in the national cups

Yes a NEW league. Maybe I picked the forum up wrong but in pretty sure we rte talking about moving many associations and thousands of teams from the regular season to a summer season. The whole of scotland 35s all play through the summer so there isnt an issue with different leagues and cups being ran out with that.

As long as Grassroots football falls under SFA umbrella I cant see summer football ever happening. The SFA are never going to move their season to run different from the rest of the main European leagues. They would have issues with champions league and Europa League. In return the SAFA SJFA etc would also have problems when their teams earn the right to play in the senior Scottish Cup.

Some great points about squad sizes etc to be fair and yeah would definitely keep more people Intrested in a big squad. The Amateur game is struggling i dont disagree but I'm not sure summer football would cause a sudden upsurge. Iv heard of more players not turning up to training or games due to summer night bbqs than I have because its muddy.

I never said anyone plans their holidays around the season. Usually around their work holidays and school holidays. I appreciate that players go on holidays and stags all year round but it's an absolute fact more people go on holiday in summer months. Although I appreciate Thats not just the off season tho. It's also why alot of teams have weaker teams at the very end and very start of the season. A agree councils dont spend the money to do work on parks but even then they still refuse to open them When my local teams ( 35s) ask them to. I'm sure with mass pressure this could be looked at tho. I have to say In all my years playing and now watching Amateur football iv never known a player to not turn up or not play because the parks not good. Summer football would only help with the cost. Iv no argument for that [emoji1787][emoji1787]

If its anything like east ayrshire the grass parks will be closed from june till August. The over 35s is played from april to Sept and the councils dont open the parks for them in the summer. It's an idea that has merit to be discussed but there was countless games called off in august at the start of the season and the motorways around ayrshire closed due to flash flooding. Maybe it's just because in a traditionalist when it comes to the game but would I rather watch a game on a mud bath or an dear astro with a full team most weeks or a nice summer's night with half the teams in magaluf on holiday . No brainer for me

I dont get this clamour for summer football. The league would need to start around feb. How many games has all your teams played since then on these grass parks. It's the same every year. Our feb march is the worst time of the year weather wise
