I'm sure Hibee Jibee will even have a wee chuckle at that lol -
The Scottish Cup 21-22
Auld duffer replied to Man from the East's topic in East of Scotland Football League
Spot on! Clubs went through a lot of blood sweat and tears to get the SFA licence and now the big moment is shrouded in secrecy Clubs could be posting on their social media and Web sites that the big Scottish Cup draw is happening, if we only knew when These are the things that bring the punters in and can help clubs gain more sponsorship etc Very poor show from the SFA -
The Scottish Cup 21-22

Yeh definitely it should be one of the big moments of the season don't think it is too big a task for the SFA to let clubs know when the draw is -
The Scottish Cup 21-22
Auld duffer replied to Man from the East's topic in East of Scotland Football League
Cheers for that had a look although still not conclusive. All we know is this week Its something thousands of people will look forward to so I'm still not sure why no exact date apart from week beginning 9th Aug -

Is there a definite date this week for the draw last I seen said it will be in week beginning 9th Aug it seems a bit vague -
Whitehill Welfare 21/22
Auld duffer replied to newcastle broon's topic in East of Scotland Football League
Just shows how difficult it can be and how it can all fall apart if people don't come forward. Fingers crossed for WW I'm sure everyone from all across the football world hopes they get the help they need -

Great start for Blackburn well done -
The Premiere Division 2021-22
Auld duffer replied to HibeeJibee's topic in East of Scotland Football League
No the 8 defeats wasn't mentioned in the post I quoted thats what I was referring to when I said only half the story. In the interest of fair reporting I felt it was only right to balance it up -
The Premiere Division 2021-22
Auld duffer replied to HibeeJibee's topic in East of Scotland Football League
Only half the story maybe worth mentioning the 8 defeats in 13 games it took to reach 11 points last season -
The Premiere Division 2021-22
Auld duffer replied to HibeeJibee's topic in East of Scotland Football League
A long hard season ahead its barely started I suspect teams like HoB Jeanfield LTHV etc will start climbing the table soon but we'll done to Blackburn, Crossgates, Dunbar & Tynecastle who have had good starts it certainly won't do them any harm to get some points on the board early -
EOS Grounds for Optimism
Auld duffer replied to HibeeJibee's topic in East of Scotland Football League
Dunbars average gate pre covid was 170, the new stand won't be facing west and the new manager wasn't who you thought it would be and that's just some of the stuff you have the wrong info about. You need a new mole or are you just someone with a chip on your shoulder making it up as you go along -
Semi Finals tickets at Wembley are available now cheapest £165. Prices are way too high but suppose for a one off they aren't much different to cat 1 tickets at Hampden for group games. Not sure if it's public sale or just previous applicants
-
Perfect just registered and vaccines showing, glad I kept the letter cheers for that
-
I'm fully vaxxed but no idea at present how to provide proof of that for Wembley. It says you should have it on NHS app, I have NHS Protect Scotland app but can't see anything in it to provide proof of vaccine. The other option is to have a test within 48 hours of entry time but shouldn't have to go through this if fully vaccinated. Any ideas anyone

It has to be Tier 8 for newly accepted clubs

Premier Relegation spots
Auld duffer replied to Bundesliga Boy's topic in East of Scotland Football League
Always felt 4 relegated was harsh even when played over a full season. There was a scenario where 6 or 7 could have been relegated at one point. For me at least one or two of those relegation slots could have gone to a play off with whatever conference team was next in line. EOS clearly stated its will be null & void if 50% not reached and this is now very likely. There are way too many problems and the easiest and probably fairest way out may be to bite the bullet and declare n & v. The one that would cause an absolute firestorm would be to relegate four teams whilst not reaching the 50% required completion. There are too many complications there with some teams having played each other twice. It's not practical to restart now so let's be sensible and fair, call call it null and void and regroup for next season hopefully starting in July -
EOS Premier Division 2020-21
Auld duffer replied to HibeeJibee's topic in East of Scotland Football League
Yeh you're right although the way it's playing out will take some sorting seems daft different leagues making it up as we go along. East of Scotland have made the call already so if no change from SG by 6th April it will be null and void as it stands -

The whole thing is bizarre the SFA doing nothing as the leagues make their own individual decisions -
Premier Relegation spots
Auld duffer replied to Bundesliga Boy's topic in East of Scotland Football League
IMHO I think that's game over for the season as there's little or no chance of the SG making the required significant change mentioned in the statement -
It's looking more and more like null and void its just too complicated to try and continue and to be honest the appetite is not there from players, supporters, committees, management etc. Time for the eosfl to call it and let's all plan with confidence for next season, hopefully with covid restrictions gone and crowds allowed back in
-
Some teams have 8 or 9 to play but it may be irrelevant as stated by Burnieman as it would need the SG to allow games to continue without testing. It would also mean travel outwith boundaries, I think the seasons over unfortunately
-
-
Reading that I just can't see us restarting without some form of testing. Can't see the SG taking the chance of thousands travelling around the regions before June
-
I'm thinking it will be wait and see or null and void it would be very difficult do give return dates as there is no clear path yet in Scotland
-
There are probably too many complications now to continue. If outdoor sport allowed from end of March as in England, we could maybe have achieved 50% completion but our FM decided to be different, its now becoming farcical. Time for clarity for everyone, just call it a day and let the clubs plan ahead for next season and as Burnieman says early start in July with crowds back and hopefully a full and uninterrupted season
