It's entirely fair to blame him, and it's extraordinaly cynical to say everyone would do the same. He is paid to represent the interests of his members: if he can't do that, for personal reasons, he should resign.

Meanwhile, back in the real world inhabited by human beings...

Calendar of set meetings I could find. Be interesting to see what news comes from Broxburn since they voted against the current pyramid and are up first from the Superleague clubs making a decision.

Your silence has made my day on these topics  now to enjoy my holiday and sign off from this thread..and leave it to the people who are trying to make positive contributions to the future of the game and not try and score personal points with someone who has made his mind up for next season ...its still a reasonable democracy we live in..and we still are allowed personal choices......again enjoy your new adventure next season and good luck to all at New Dundas Park..players and management team along with the Board and hard working Committee members...hope it all works out for you.

Bill, I am at work and have more to do than hang about street corners peddling your nonsense to anyone who will listen. The clubs is better run that it ever was especially when your cohorts were there. I doubt that the current excellent commitee would stoop to the levels that you mention. I dont know why you bother going anyways you have little positive to say about the club.

The Social club - They made their bed they can lie in it.  Run by dinosaurs who have their own agenda now that reminds me of someone!

Now Bill - your team is away its looking like most of the league is away. This arguement is done. You lost.  The clubs jumping will be in a better position than remaining in the juniors now go and find something else to cry about.  For someone not going to see Bonnyrigg next year you have a lot of bitterness all you do is scaremonger. Maybe you should print the licencing manual and have a wee read of it on your holidays.

I think more common sense should be shown and the Eos should extend the deadline date to June 31st now

At the same time, I think that clubs need some certainty about what their divisions will look like next season.  I'm not sure they could extend things beyond the AGM on 7th June or it could end up dragging on forever.

Got to take into account players contracts also? Clubs will be putting them in at the start of June right?

Montrose moved.know its a bit windy up that way.but no bad enough to move it from north to west.

Montrose Roselea voluntarily transferred from the Juniors East Region to the Juniors North Region. This suggests that there maybe other Tayside clubs who would wish to "go north" by choice ?

Tayports statement is not undermining any officialdom but sort of saying WTF

Do they realise they are inside the EoSL's catchment being from Fife and don't fall under the category of Dundee because they used to be a Tayside team?

...and it's worth bearing in mind that Arniston flew under the radar until after the meeting last Thursday, so there could easily be a few more.

Interesting motive for moving from their website.

Quote

Roselea moved from the East Region of the Juniors in 2016/17 season mainly due to travel which was down to their success in the East and reaching the Premier League.

I think they're aware as they mention "those clubs based in Perthshire, Dundee and Angus which are outwith the EoSL's catchment area". They've just obviously got ties to Tayside and would probably like to stay with their traditional rivals.

Yes they are not that naive.
Rightly asking what no one apart from Arbroath vics seem to be querying.
Of the major clubs
Lochee utd : Hardly have to publicise their thoughts 're eos but no pyramid news
Broughty : webmaster/President has departed. Not sure if a coincidence.
Carnoustie : See Lochee
Forfar west end : Not a tweet or even a mention of no relegation caused by eos

[Kilbowie Benches]

The lack of leadership from TJ is frightening!

Just sitting back as the East Region is decimated.

What is his plan? He said that the East and West Juniors were guaranteed tier 6 in the pyramid and that  this was kosher.Its turned out to be anything but.

You  cant help yourself..can you...collect the waste if that's what you are paid to do.....For your information the Remembrance Day episode was on Saturday 31st October 2015 and we played and beat Bo,ness that day 3/1..your Official was chastised by a mini-bus of Boness supporters who arrived in the Calderwood car park for his remarks and then they proceeded to give very generously to the 3 lads and girls collection boxes..thats a fact that I have never forgotten......no class.and still hasn't any...by all means align yourself with him if you wish...I repeat just in case you have over looked what I said previously about the 2008 regime..they were no friends of mine and had never been..is that clear..but you are good at mistaken identity...

Again .nothing positive to say....when have I criticised the present Officials and Committee for their work since the near oblivion in 2008....you cant point to any time at all but you wouldn't give me any credit for it...would you.

You ARE beholding to the Social Club for the free use of their car park on match days whether you like it or not...that fact gives them bigger credence in my eyes than you give them credit for.....So much for their Dinasaur mentality.Tell me what you would do if you didn't have that free use on match days...Maybe there will be a change of... Dinasuars ..at the Social Club and they decide to be recompensed for their long standing generousity…...Y ou would probably fire off some other obscenities in their direction as you do now...your problem is that they have made their club a great success......again with hard work and the football club officials don't like that because you were willing it to fail because of an infantile dispute between you.....But that's how BIG clubs react when they don't get their own way isn't it......no decorum sums you up.

Robert......again good luck next season and may all your eggs be golden ones as promised....and by the way I don't stand on street corners in the town..like you I have a living to earn but you don't accept that either......someday you will grow up....hopefully in the not too distant future for your sake.

At the same time, I think it's also worth noting that there isn't a June 31st. [emoji13]

A lot of this has come of the back of the SJFA having meetings with clubs in the East. Whatever was offered up as a plan for the future wasn't exactly convincing enough to stop the moves. It's hard to lead when you've got nothing to offer. Clubs are seeing there's something that the EoSFL offer  (SFA Licencing/Place in the Pyramid) that the SJFA can't guarantee.

Tier 6 entry = SFA/LL/EoS/SoS have to sign off on it, Lowland Superleague = West Region has to sign up.
