HibeeJibee Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 This year the EOS League takes its common 2-week break over the festive period. However, no doubt lots of clubs will then end-up arranging a variety of friendlies, to keep themselves sharp for the resumption in January. Here are a couple I've noticed so far: http://www.leithathleticfc.com/index.php/news/613-leith-athletic-fc-3-1-civil-ss-fc-13-12-14/ Saturday 27th December Leith Athletic v Forest Hall YPC Sunday 4th January Leith Athletic v Musselburgh Athletic Others?

HibeeJibee Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 I presume he means the clubs, for playing friendlies. It would be interesting to see the correspondence between dropping everything for 2 or 3 weeks, versus maintaining some form of training and/or games, and success come the end of the season. I suspect there is a correlation. Someone on the Lowland sub-forum says that Leith host Preston Athletic apparently at 7:30pm tomorrow, although I haven't seen that substantiated anywhere. EDIT: Another one - Civil Service playing Whitburn at Spartans, Sunday 4th January. http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/football_document_libraries.cfm?page=2061 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tee Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 If any EOS clubs are looking for a game over the festive period please get in touch via private massage. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumbeg geordie Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 can never understand why teams are playing friendlies.would it not be better to play competitive games and therefore not have extra games to play at the end of the season.

Jambob Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 It's sometimes better to get a break from it, players can always play the odd game of fives or the gym to keep there sharpness, I understand if it was professional but not the EOS...

Barry Tulloch Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Leith are playing Preston tonight at Meadowbank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0b83 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 our last game was the 6th Dec. Game called off on the 13th and no ties scheduled by LEAFA for the 20th. I'd've preferred a game on the 20th (weather permitting) then maybe not such as need for the friendly on Sun. Will be a good chance for our lads to blow the cobwebs off and test ourselves against Craigie EOS, even if half the team will still be under the influence!!!

It's interesting to compare with other leagues though... SPFL - play right through. Highland - play right through. Lowland - play right through. South of Scotland - one week off (Saturday 27th). West Juniors - play right through. East Juniors - both weekends optional (13 games scheduled) North Juniors - both weekends optional (5 games scheduled). East of Scotland is the only league of the 8 not playing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Aye, I know - was just pointing-out to Jambob that the difference isn't really in comparison to professionals as all the other part-time leagues have games on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambob Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 That's true but the majority of those leagues are a higher standard and get paid more, Mayby if the players got paid more they would play during these times? But a lot of players go AWOL until the second week in Jamuary... Sometimes later!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
