A lot can change quickly once the right people are in control at a club and sooner or later there will be a backlash against the decisions that have been made by certain West Lothian clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The over 20 years is in reference to them being classed amongst Bonnyrigg, Kelty, Bo'ness and Linlithgow. And that just in terms of being a top team in the East because Bonnyrigg and Kelty have moved on from that. 18 years since they avoided the Super League they haven't been a top team since. Now they've got at least another year junior, and two years minimum in the lower divisions of the EoSFL before they're even back to being in the top East league, let alone a top East team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their last activity on twitter, was on March 17, to announce the Junior Cup semi-final draw. Since then, nothing of any note in junior football appears to have occurred worth making a comment upon.

And they wonder why they're losing 70+ clubs from their leagues this summer on top of what they lost in the East over the past couple of years. My sums say there will be 62 clubs playing 'Junior' football in Scotland next season. Down from 158 in 2018 immediately pre-East exodus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if the north region can still be in the SJFA as a tier six feeder to the HL. If not, that could drop to 30. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Just on Strathclyde Uni, they and Cambria (their old boys) play at Stepps and can see no reason to relocate for any football purposes. Not exactly same neck of the woods. Happy to be proved wrong though. Edited April 9, 2020 by cmontheloknow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And btw, there are plenty of Scottish people working in/near my home city of Rotterdam doing the same the other way around (mainly in the ports over there). Thankfully the vast majority of people here in Scotland have been very welcoming to me so the odd racist moron like Kenny doesn't change my positive experiences. I wouldn't worry mate, in his mind's eye you're not one to worry about. He goes by other metrics.

When I lived down south, I have been verbally abused just because of having a foreign accent various times. I've had quite a few bad experiences, especially in 2016. Obviously other people have it worse, but plenty of racists don't just limit themselves to someone with a different skin colour... Also online, especially back then, I had some abuse. But that was easily countered when all I started correcting the (often atrocious) grammar/spelling of these racists. They don't like it when their English gets corrected by people who have it as "only" their second language, or in my case third. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I was just inferring that anyone like that twat upon hearing someone is a foreigner on the internet would immediately jump to the above chart in their head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
