glensmad Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 But the JB manager seems to thing the SJFA or WSJFA are running the new league. Not sure why he doesn't pick up the phone to someone there instead of whinging to the press.So many people are still not getting this. The WRSJFA will not be running the WoSFL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born To Run Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The other applicant was an amateur side who have played friendlies against the likes of Maryhill recently. They took a flier without having the required facilities etc in place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoutable United FC 5 March · Scoutable Utd FC 1-3 Maryhill Juniors FC Scoutables took on Maryhill Juniors last night in what was a very competitive game. Maryhill started brightly and won the early exchanges, scoring twice in the first 20 minutes. This woke Scoutables into action and we played at a much higher tempo moving the ball around well and keeping our shape which resulted in a goal just before half time. The second half was much brighter with Scoutables retaining possession well but squandering chances before conceding again late in the game. Despite the result a better performance and many positives to build upon. Goal scored by: Yusuf Bamba️ Given the delays with Covid-19 perhaps there might be a "window of opportunity" to bring their application up to the required standard. But suspect the newly formed club which was only established in 2019 does not have the resources or experience to take on a project of this nature. ️ Edited April 14, 2020 by Pyramidic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Feet Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Did Darvel get in? Drumchapel United is a funny one. Their current amateur team is a shambles in terms of professionalism. They dont have a strong 19s/21s pool of players ready to step up and form the basis of a strong squad for this sort of standard. They'll basically be starting from scratch needing to build a full squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMan Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I understand that it's now been formally agreed that the South Challenge Cup is compulsory for all LL, WoS, EoS and SoS clubs to enter. I dont think it was ever a formal requirement previously.So League and SCC, plus any (senior) Scottish Cup fixtures, will receive priority over any other competition.Talking of the Scottish Cup, given that the Junior Cup wont be completed this season, and neither will any Junior league, will there be any Junior representation at all next season? The ERJFA wont be able to declare a Champion given a North/South play-off needs to take place to determine it. Will the WRJFA declare a Champion? North?We may already have seen the last of Junior clubs in the Scottish. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Glad this puts to bed any cherry picking concerns and clubs can now get on with working towards what next season and beyond will look like.Its quite exciting actually, who will end up in the top league, will there be any surprise packages, who will go for licence, who will choose to play in the junior Cup, who won't, what is the new league set up going to be, experience wise, when balanced against previous experiences.Once we get beyond the current state of affairs and we get back to some form of normal, new challenges await. For every club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesel1994 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 So much for not cherry picking - try telling that to the club that lost out. </sarcasm> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Really? We don't know why they weren't accepted, let's be Frank for a minute though, 67 clubs in and one not would suggest that either the application wasn't up to the required standard, their ground didn't meet the basic criteria or they were not considered a wosfl area club. None of that suggests cherry picking. Cherry picking would be picking the top 20 sides and rejecting the rest. That didn't happen. Until it is made clear why the 1 club was rejected it wouldn't be prudent to suggest they were cherry picked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
