No one really talking about the 2nd division but fir me it's the most competitive league, 2 of 6/7 teams must fancy a push for promotion. Craigie and new farm also beating some decent teams in cups and catrine pushing hurlford all the way and TBH was unlucky not to beat them that day. All the best to Craigie for the rest of the season On 15/01/2017 at 12:44, eyeswideopen15 said: They have a great chance of progression in the west this sat. Playing a bang average Dirrans side that Iv watched been dismantled twice in two weeks from two below average teams. One a 2nd division side ! eyeswideopen15 - do you own a helicopter?

Both runners up from the 2 divisions then play off for the right to play the 3rd bottom from the premier in a game for the right to play in the premier.

The Shawdow Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 1 hour ago, Crazy Feet said: ''They aren't good enough players for The Premier''. You can tell the committee members are dinosaurs. The Caledonian isn't like old times when the First Division was full of poor teams, with the additions in recent years and teams improving, there's many teams who are stuck in the First Division who can't get out due to the structure, that are better than a good few of the teams who do no more than survive each season in The Premier by the skin of their teeth. Some of the First Division teams are having the best runs in the marjos in recent seasons - Broomhouse and EKYM for instance. There's at least 6-8 teams in the First Divisions who could come into The Premier no problem and hold their own. Well the league table currently shows that the harp weren't performing well enough to challenge for the league. Is that the players or the managements fault? The caledionian league isn't as competitive as it was before. 6-8 couldn't hold their own though in the top division The Central have the best teams now as the major trophy winners has shown.

My opinion of course. The league table shows that they (Harp)aren't challenging. I then asked was this the players not performing or down to the management?

eyeswideopen15 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 eyeswideopen15 - do you own a helicopter? No mate a car, I Also watched Craigie v Irvine before Dirrans v new farm on sat and I didn't need Air Force one either, left Dirrans after 35 min as they were hopeless and game over at 2-0.

georgyporgy Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 CALEDONIAN LEAGUE STRUCTURE The Caledonian League Premier Division is supported by two equal First Divisions, 1a and 1b The winners of Division 1a play off against the winner of Division 1b to determine the winners of the overall First Division Championship. Both sides are promoted to the Premier Division. Additionally, the runners-up in 1a play off against the runners-up in 1b. The winner faces one further play-off game against the team placed third bottom of the Premier Division. The winner of that game also competes in the Premier Division. Copied CSAFL setup from Season 2014/2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what teams in your opinion could hold their own in the premier of the cally? Am of the opinion stated earlier there is maybe 5 or 6 in the first divisions who could hold their own fairly comfortably in the premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AreYouForReal Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I agree Disco the premier of the Caley isn't great the top 5 are good outfits Dalziel and Thorn this year stick out, anything below 5th are bang average and Larkhall Cambusbarron Westerlands Stenhousemuir EKYM Broomhouse and Hamilton FP could hold their own in that top league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnart are a very decent wee side as well picking up results week after week. Some of the teams in the premier are woeful as u said outwith the top 5 the rest are pretty poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughheffner69 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I would add two more teams to the premier and have 1st and 2nd promoted With 4 coming down each year , would make every game meaningful till the end of the season in the premier and every point vital .

On one off days yes maybe one or two teams can beat a premier but not over a season. The first Divison is pretty poor and Harp were fairly lucky to come out of it last season, they limped over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the gap u speak of is anywhere near how wide u perceive it to be. Fairly confident the teams I have mentioned above would comfortably beat the likes of gartcosh bearsden Milton Strathclyde uni and so on fairly regularly. Plus would take points off the rest of the teams sitting pretty in the premier.last year doune were the stand outs but think most of the teams near the top are of a similar standard this year. Are u affiliated to a particular team shawdow ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Feet Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Didn't Stenhousemuir eliminate a Caley Premier team from The Scottish recently? Pretty sure they did. When was the last time a team relegated from the premier came straight back up? Glasgow Uni relegated last season and getting skelped most weeks in the 1st division.

LoveFitbaw Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I think harp won premier and then got relegated the following season. Then obviously came straight back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
