No Idea. It's Ayrshire so chances are yes . .

Best of his twitter is this poll: It's not gone to plan there.

I bet the second-hand Floodlight market has had a massive increase in the demand over the last few seasons.

Can we please get the Colts tae f**k thank you. Would much rather have NCR and Ninewells Hospital Workers FC in the SPFL than Celtic and Rangers Under 18s.

I know it's probably been mentioned on other threads but I do wonder how the lockdown and effective end of season will affect Scottish Cup places next season, especially since Talbot (and BoD?) have games in hand, and that that the East Juniors has split into two regions. Hopefully as well for 2020-21, they'll finally award the North Caley League Winners a Scottish Cup berth, they're the only Senior or Junior league without a berth. Bit unfair on the likes of Invergordon and Orkney.

Seeing a lot of talk about Yoker, tbf the pyramid is nae from there so has no business being there.

Tbf to Gordon he's played a blinder and will probably head up the WoS after a couple of seasons. There's space for both the Junior Cup and SCC. The SCC can continue in its current form as a Cup for T6 and below Lowland Clubs. Like I said elsewhere the Junior Cup should be a Cup for all clubs at Tier 6 below. Effectively the SCC plus Tayside, North and North Caley clubs.

Congratulations, you're not going into administration for the third time in seventeen years. Enjoy! Pretty sure I speak for most here that we all want to see every club survive through this.... except from AS Roma of course. A 14 (or 16 as the Dees are desperate for) Premiership next season would be class. But obviously there will be TV issues - only 2-3 OF Games, could maybe be solved by adding another 3 or 4 games to the contract next season? I did notice in the DR's piece that there will be No reconstruction, but Hearts will be relegated, so I presume we'll go up then?

This is the fantastic Scottish Football content I came here to see.

GTF Day was 16th June last year I think.

The Divcardine imho

Hopefully Nairn U20s don't get accepted. I think Colt Teams should be as far away as possible. Also a 13 team league is quite cumbersome. 12 Teams would be better imho. I would absolutely love to see Orkney work toward a Licence, what an away day that would be.

Hopefully, in years to come the Junior Cup can become a cup for all teams in the pyramid outside the Professional* Game: i.e. Tier 6 and below. Similar to the FA Trophy in England. *I know junior clubs and EoS clubs are paying wages but Tier 5 and above is what the SFA call "Professional".

Why are so many people obsessed with the South of Scotland League, can we just focus on getting the West, and North sorted first before we obsess over the minutiae of SoS League? On the conference format, I personally would like to see: Top 16 in 2020-21 qualify for Tier 6, 17-32 "relegated" to Tier 7 with the remaining teams "relegated" into two loosely regionalised conferences of 16 at Tier 8. Relegating clubs by 4 divisions seems quite extreme for one season. So for season 2021-22: We would hopefully have: T5: Lowland League (16 clubs) T6: Eos Premier - WoS Premier - SoS League (this can be moved/sorted after 2022) - (45-48 clubs) T7: EoS First - Wos First (32 clubs) T8: EoS Second (with poss. N/S split if over 20 clubs) - WoS Second (Ayrshire/Central loose split) (48-64 clubs) As for the North, it might take a bit longer but that seems an easier fit: T5: Highland League (16 clubs) T6: North East Premier (16 clubs) - North Caledonian League (12 clubs) T7: North East First - Grampian (14 clubs) and Tayside (12 clubs) T8: North East Second - Grampian (12 clubs)

Whoever runs the Kilwinning Twitter has a good sense of humour, I remember them talking about Blockchain at some point which was a good laugh,

A lot to unload here.

Done

With the same or very similar healthcare systems? There's absolutely no reason for Scotland and England to have different approaches at the minute. If and when life returns to normal I expect we may see diverging paths

As much as people quite rightly give them shit, it's a tough one for the SFA and SPFL - a case of damned if they, damned if they don't. Think they are desperate for UEFA or FIFA to come down with some ruling. Best bet if season can't be finished - Award Celtic title and European places accordingly, have a 14 Team Top Division next year with United and ICT. Equally distribute the prize money between all the Premiership clubs as an olive branch. Have a 14 team top flight next season playing 39 games, with a Scottish Super Cup added in to please Sky (i.e. give them another Celtic vs Rangers).

If that's true then give them 20 more live games next season. Which I suggested ages ago and got shot down for.

Yes.

Also Football was actually played during both World Wars - Summer Cup etc.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but FIFA (thanks to Uncle Sepp) has a reserve of 1 Billion Swiss Francs, if there was ever a time that the organisation could use that to bail out or give aid to struggling leagues/association it would be now.

Pretty sure there was a Dundee Derby played during the WInter of Discontent (or possibly even earlier in the 70's) at 2pm on a Tuesday Afternoon and there was a crowd of 500.
