They are mid table with games in hand their league is tight any of them could win it. I think you are letting longtimelurker get you and its making you turn against the junior teams where we should be bringing unity something which you all called for before. Follow the lead of the original east of Scotland league teams who gave up what they had to allow us all in. Remember what we stand for a United pyramid inclusive to all who can make a standard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the league's top scorer has moved to Burntisland Shipyard, which surely won't help their title challenge. 7 minutes ago, G4Mac said: Now I realise it is all about opinions, however a team sitting middle of the current ersjfa superleague would most definitely not be sitting top of either eos league this year. From what I've seen of the ersjfa this season (admittedly limited games) the eos conferences are a decidedly better standard of football. Well a team which was bottom of the East Superleague last season is now third in Conference B. Thornton have three games in hand and are five points off the top. They finished third last season and were 6th in the last season of the East Premier League so I think they and a few others would be very competitive in the First Division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I'm all for a unified set up but suggesting a team will come in and sit atop a league is wrong, regardless of how good they may or may not be Alan.I'd welcome any team from the ersjfa, you know that. What I don't like is others, who I'd wager have no basis for comparison, suggesting teams would sit at the top of each conference. (from personal experience, it's a hard place to get to and even harder to stay there) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A final push could see them get a playoff place. However you know that these things can change like the wind, a few good players in or out makes all the difference ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't suggest they'd be top. They said "top end of either conference". Which in a 12 team set up I would take as Top 3 or 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s anything against the Juniors, just stating the facts which are that the East Juniors has been left a shadow of its former self, and any digs being made are more aimed towards the grade, or rather what the Junior Association left it to become. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did they not erect the fence when they had permission? Edited January 15, 2020 by Che Dail 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's probably more of an attraction is former Junior clubs making the league much stronger and a more attractive place to be. All that said, the LEAFA thing is a pile of poo. There will probably be a club or two making enquires outwith current Junior clubs, but a block of clubs from one amateur league, nah. and the OP hasn't come back to expand..... sandies but mergin with edinburgh south vicks.laurrieston but as craiggy.danderhal but mergin with a team Lothian vale or edinburgh star 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to join the EOS, they'll make sure it will be done, I'm sure they'll also discuss the steps to take with the EOS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas prem teams still have a bit of catching up to do. I’ve helped some players who didn’t cut it for super league teams but signed eos conference and I don’t mean any disrespect. Either way debate is healthy and it’s good to see interest in the leagues. I think all the juniors coming wouldn’t be a bad idea but would show that the good sides still there aren’t as far behind as some people say. A few big teams have struggled since the move whereas the ones who stayed may find themselves better prepared should it happen now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I suggested that I'd wager you didn't know much about the eos to make a comparison, turns out I was wrong, which I'm happy to admit [emoji4] Although my response regarding where I'd played was more or less as you had used your experience to lend weight to your opinion, which is again perfectly normal in any debate/conversation. It wasn't a means to say my cv was outstanding. Again, you are entitled to your opinions, I don't have to agree with them, I don't expect you to agree with mines at all. However to start throwing accusations of arrogance around is not particularly in the spirit of debate. (your caps lock appears stuck on too [emoji4]) I am a keen student of football, I work very hard to ensure my knowledge is current, although, if and when I get a chance I do like to get out and watch games at all levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose its irrelevant debate till they enclose the ground and apply Thornton Hibs aren't even the best team in the Super-League, and since the junior mobs have jumped ship it's alot closer with tighter budgets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert James Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Following the meeting of the West Juniors last night, it appears that the West & East Junior leagues will NOT be joining the pyramid anytime soon, for the reasons highlighted by dozens of posts of the Future of the Juniors forum today. As far as this may impact on the East juniors, it may well result in several of them applying to join the EoSL for next season ?
