    I see the only 2 teams to apparently apply to East of Scotland League is Livingston Reserves and Gala Fairydean Rovers reserves. Maybe the East of Scotland League should be trying to make the application process for them easier and the league more attractive 😜.

    If West has 80 clubs the East should match up so it is a balanced pyramid before West accept more new teams? Seriously I do think bottom 2 divisions could increase to 18 teams as less likely to go to later stages of cups if Newmains and a couple of others can sort their pitch issues out. If a good candidate like Annbank with a more than suitable facility then happy to see them back but less so if another caged 4g ground.

    The East should still have the Dundee teams under it imo. 

    That's 20 more teams that would be in the EoS

    Bonar Bridge were a little bit screwed by Loch Ness failing to field a team against Thurso, with Thurso being awarded the win. Loch Ness would surely have won that game and Thurso would have finished behind Bonar Bridge on goal difference.

    The Loch Ness goalie was playing for Strathspey last night from what I read.

    The all caps and the cursor still being visible gives very strong Business Secrets of the Pharaohs vibes

    Encapsulates everything that has been going on inside and around the club. Calling it a shambles is too kind, I can only think it is all deliberate and part of a bigger plan because they can't seriously be this incompetent. 

    The whole thing reminds me of Trainspotting and Spud going for his job interview to keep the dole off his arse... 

  5. If I could wave a magic wand, I’d have something like this in place for next season

  6. As long as they have the same player registration rules as everyone else. Pick their squad for the season, not allow open-day when switching players from the 1st team to the 'reserves' so you don't have 8 changes every game because the big team wants some of them to play in a friendly in Dubai or something. 

  7. Just had a look on CapFriendly, wish I hadn't! 

    Looking at all they 2nd and 3rd picks and all they young kids we have waiting to hit the AHL next season, the 2 Russians who look to be a masterstroke of a pick, the fact we have about 30mil free cap space for when renewals and the big push comes... It's was fkn set up perfectly! And now it's all some other c***s' team

    I did read the other day he's one of two Coyotes with a NTC. Grim.

    Yeah he had found a home, the Scottsdale pull is real and it's where retired hockey players go to warm up! As much as people take the piss, players were happy to sign for the Coyotes, it was everything that came with it that killed us.

    People are still unsure whether Mereulo was complacent and/or greedy, it's becoming quite clear he was nothing but a con artist. The NHL have had to basically pay for his new complex just to get him to fk and out the way so they can get on with getting Houston and Atlanta etc on board... And I honestly can't blame them for doing it now!

    My condolences. There's no way I was ever following this given some of the vitriol you get from people on the internet with a particular viewpoint on this but from what I've read this morning, it's just been a complete shambles.

    I honestly didn't think it would bother me too much but the Coyotes were my escape. I put everything into them, I followed all the prospects and I'm on a discord channel with a lot of the people who work inside the club. We were nearly there as a team, after all the years of shite, we were genuinely going somewhere... Then literally found out together (the players found out when the rest of us did!) we had been in the middle of a fraud. We have been lied to by the people at the top of the club and the stuff coming out in the last few hours in the discord is outrageous and I can see why the NHL pulled the plug on us. I can't see Arizona recovering from this anytime soon, it will be at least 10 years before hockey is back with the daft c**ts from the desert. It's all just shit, I was really looking for to the playoffs too but can't face it

  10. Thornton vs St Andrews

    Jeanfield vs Dunbar

    Jeanfield will inevitably 'Hibs' the final 5-1 and tournament organisers will (in 90's F1 style when an outsider from am obscure country wins a GP) be rushing around trying to find a version of the St Andrews national anthem to play

    TBF actually losing an SFA license seems a pretty hard thing to do. The last club to do so (excluding clubs going pan bread) iirc was Aberdeen Uni in the 80's or thereabouts.

    Did Peebles (Rovers) ever have one? I might just be making that up but it rings a bell

    No one can explain what a Juniors return really is and trying to split 3rd/4th Divisions into North/South wouldn't make most clubs happy.

    I agree but I would also understand clubs looking to cut costs wherever possible at that level. I’m surprised there haven’t been more noise about it, but like you say though most clubs seem happy enough

    The lowland league has had West of Scotland teams in since it was formed and probably more now with relegation from SPFL. It represents EoS, WoS and SoS. The SJFA wanted to run it's own league for the West at same level as the Lowland League and Highland League tier five and above the South. 

    East, South and Lowland were never going to vote for it.

     

     

    I was meaning at the bottom of the WoS. What have the SFA got to do with the WoS putting Division 3 and 4 together and having them split north and south was the point I was making

    The way I remember it. I believe Colin Boyd when he was active on here confirmed it around the time.

    EDIT: to add

    image.png.0c69d46c4e05002c3dd281dcb2f7ba86.png

    I’m still lost as to what it has to do with the SFA and/or what big difference it makes it them apart from minor admin
