  1. If he’s still showing up to training and matches and not getting his wages then I would expect it would be fairly easy to get released.
  2. Aye sure the fans would like it, but the issue is more to do with ‘the blazers’ of the clubs and leagues across this level of Scotland and their stubbornness. of course clubs want to be in it, but it doesn’t stop them moaning when they have to go to the arse end of Scotland to beat and they get their limited expenses that’s barely cover the fuel for the bus never mind the actual bus itself! it really needs a freshen up but just don’t see anyone being big enough to start to a serious conversation
  3. The prize pot and £20k gets banded about a lot but let’s forget the vast majority of teams who get away draws and gets put out in early rounds don’t make any sort of money, if anything it costs them. A non-league national trophy would be great, perhaps playing for the Junior Cup trophy but it needs taken on by a impartial group of people who can modernise the competition and make it feasible for all clubs, bring in sponsorship and perhaps some sort of broadcast deal perhaps even via Youtube which will get more eyes on our level. however I think both sides of the debate are too stubborn to even try and get something like that working!
  4. Exactly why we don’t have linos in the first division.
  5. Dario asked to be released as he was planning to step away from football due to work commitments and asked that we didn’t make a big deal about it. Which I respected, and didn’t know he was signing for Ardeer until it was posted
  6. Ryan Wilson Mark Curragh Liam McGuiness Alex Dean Darren Frye Elliot O’brien and Kieran McGlaughlin was not in the squad
  7. One full installment of £100k sponsorship, will be spent by the end of the season!
  8. Only if a west team comes down from Lowland. Which given it’s a shootout between Edinburgh Uni and Gretna then it won’t be an issue
  9. As the lowland league clubs continue to vote against increased promotion and relegation it makes it incredibly difficult for aspirational teams in WoSFL. Darvel, Talbot, Cumnock, Kilwinning, Pollok, Clydebank etc to actually get into the lowland league!
  10. It’s pretty hard for clubs like Kilwinning when teams like Cowdenbeath are gate keeping the pyramid and limiting promotion for the tier 6 sides
  11. Yeah Beith thought North Ayrshire Council were their landlord however it transpires the land is actually owned by a historical trust whose last living member died in 1971. Without the land owners permission you can’t get planning therefore no floodlights and as such no license
  12. Pretty sure this is fine providing you get approval from the land owner. Which I think is Beith’s issue that they can’t get permission from the landowner to put floodlights
  13. Agree with the legacy point, they’ve been the panto villains and still are too a much lesser extent, the pieman seems too have quietened down and Tony Mc just doesn’t have the the same character that Mick had. if the ground stays as football club for the community and proper committee types take it on then wish them well, however would be concerned the land gets sold for housing or a new aldi or lidl
  14. I assume it's always been a rule and a club have taken umbrage to another team doing it and it's forced the south challenge cup committee to enforce their rule. Clubs received communication from the committee during the week and a couple of teams queried it with the SFA directly who seemed to confirm it was the case. Assume it's the same for The Scottish Cup in a few weeks also, as I know teams charged for kids when they normally don't
  15. I believe a number of players have made arrangements to go away with family with it being the school holidays for Kennie to then do exactly what he said he wouldn’t do previously with Kilwinning having given Clydebank Benburb who they played on the opening day just like The Buffs had Camby and could have played Camby. The junior cup gets the respect in the fixture calendar the junior clubs want, however it doesn’t appear the fixture calendar is getting the same respect coming back the way. The ties should he played on the next scheduled day for junior cup matches which is the 4th of November and not changing what’s already in the calendar! As for the costs, really selling it here! Doesn’t sound like all that great a benefit unless you actually win the thing. Whilst the Strathclyde demo cup doesn’t offer prize money it offers a nice route to The Scottish Cup without the hardship of the junior cup travel and costs. Surprised more Non-licences clubs aren’t looking at this option
  16. Still doesn’t mean Darvel aren’t signing him
  17. the WoSFL part of the pyramid now set of 5 x 16 team divisions. 80 clubs will be the number, with opportunities coming to new clubs at the bottom should a premier division team get promoted.
  18. Evolution and the SJFA aren’t exactly something you’d put together Ideally a national cup at tier 5 and below is the way forward however the highland league teams don’t appear to be interested. If a third party not attached to the juniors or the current organisations in the pyramid were to come up with something, that was funded with decent prize money and sponsorship then it might take off but sadly can’t see anything but the the status quo
  19. The pointless stuff that know cares about anymore thread is probably another good fit
  20. Don’t know the exacts but certainly over 100
  21. The game will be streamed via pay-per-view most likely.
  22. He made it up, Buffs have no intention of rejoining the Juniors. There was a reason they were the first club that decided to breakaway from the SJFA
  23. I thought you wouldn’t trust the Catch Up as far you could throw them
  24. Next round isn’t until the 1st of April, no need to rush into a decision.
  25. Assume they are waiting to see who’s involved in the semi final and final of the West.
