As a club official you are making a rip roaring t£&t of yourself now tbh. Of course it was democratic and to state otherwise shows ignorance and stupidity of the highest order. Never got your way. Dummy spat. Toys out the pram.

You got ur vote so it was democratic. Your club is no worse off and no better off, as is every club. Stop moaning FFS. At least we all know what’s happening now.

At her last briefing she said there would not be any further announcements on the roadmap out of lockdown until the 20th April when she would confirm if the lifting of restrictions planned for the 26th April would go ahead. I do believe that you are a bit of a rascal and what you don’t know, you just make up.

Can you please direct me to a government/ SFA statement that confirms this ‘fact’?

Can you show me where that is stated please?

I’m inclined to agree on the committee shirking their responsibility and hiding from making a decision - but we don’t know the facts and I’m sure there will be a reason, perhaps being pedants and following rules to the letter. Who knows. PPG is an option though so unsure on your point there. All as agreed at the seasons outset. You have a vote same as everyone else so you can cast it accordingly.

Not even a commitment to 26th lifting either of travel between local authority regions so zero knowledge on non contact training g for clubs that have loads travelling from other areas. The update is there is no update. Time for the EoS to take the plunge one way or another. We can’t wait another 3 weeks. Surely!!!

We are on the same page then, so we are both happy. I’m not hiding behind anything though. I’m merely a supporter and personally find your actions underhand and disingenuous. I’d feel the same if the club I watch/ support were benefiting - that’s the truth as it is who I am. There are no accusations, only opinions and all based on my own standards and belief that all member clubs are essentially in the same boat, facing the same challenges and as such there is a respectful way of behaving that should be inclusive. Next time you visit the club, if I’m there I will most certainly introduce myself and perhaps even buy you that free pint you mentioned previously. I guess all I hoped for was a little bit of contrition from you in the cold light of day after some time to reflect. Sadly not.

Currently there are a number of teams able to non contact train with most if not all players in attendance due to geographical location. Others are unable to train as the playing squad made up from players coming from a number of different local authority regions. This restriction not due to open up until 26th April, leaving some teams 4 if not 6 weeks ahead in terms of fitness. How do you factor this into fairness and equality of preparation?

If you wrote that email my friend and your conscience is clear, then your moral compass compared to my own are not even in the same vicinity, and all I will say is I’m glad I’m me. Like you say what will be will be.

I assume you never wrote the email from your club?

And there will be many more with the same view - but there will be equally as many who agree with the previous player. My take would be: Young lads will more happy to play and older players with families and higher pressure jobs will be less happy to play. But after 5+ months in lockdown, players at this level who don’t get paid material amounts of money should not be forced to play. Football league structures at the minute is really not that important and football must be used for nothing other than ensuring mental and physical health. Let’s get the players back after the 17th and let them enjoy just training with teammates again without the pressure and stress of 3 games a week when not fit and ready. Surely that’s the sensible approach?

Did you read the post by a current EoS Player? That’s not going to the feelings of a lone person. End of debate.

Well said. Everything else being debated is insignificant to the points raised here.

Fair enough. What’s done is done. The wording of the email was very poor, and a huge mistake not forwarding to every club. But move on and see what comes from the meeting this week.
