If this is accurate, all the Shortlees posts are an unnecessary tangent.

I only brought it up because someone listed Shortlees as a speculative applicant. Of course, we know some amateur clubs have applied - Glasgow Uni and Drumchapel.

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.

Not even just upon hearing someone is a foreigner tbh, also when someone is born and raised over here but has a dark skin. But then again, it's not like these people can actually think...

Most probably!!!!!.but was also told their grounds are both non compliant as they would not meet the criteria 66 clubs will form the wosfl.

Correct as things stand - however, only one of them is a full youth setup, and still has a good shot at acceptance IMO.

More posts to ponder from earlier today. Think Giffnock fit the bill on the club that might make it.

They play on a public park in a Killie scheme. They will not be anywhere near the LL.

Match v Hurlford Thistle by looks of colours.

 

They don't normally play on that pitch, but they do play on a public park. That match was the league decider against Hurlford Thistle a year or two ago. There was a huge crowd at it, for an amateur league match anyway.

I see from the AAFA site they're at Grange 3G more often than not. The above was their pitch a few years ago. The website has not updated it:

I even get that problem in The Netherlands as my name is not from the Dutch language, but from the Frisian language (the second official language in the country, spoken in 1 of the 12 provinces). And I don't even speak Frisian and never lived close to the area where it's spoken. :D

Given the latest statement from the SFA that football is in hold until at least June 10th, then this season is effectively finished. The only thing that then needs to be sorted out is how the junior teams are ranked before placing them into conferences. Imo using average points per game to finalise the league placings is the least worst method. I certainly don't think it would be fair to use last season's finishing positions, even though we would benefit as we would be ranked higher than we are now.

Even though it would put my club at a disadvantage, points per game maybe the best way to decide.
