Also when's the last time (if ever) a title (league or cup) has been shared at this level? would hope mcbookie are voiding all bets imho. Cant be paying out on teams who have been handed league titles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters because the Champions enter the Scottish Cup next season with all the financial benefits that come with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Very strange decision to hand out titles like this. Thought they would have gone down the null and void route like the east. Especially as you've got the new set up next season. Anyway congrats to all concerned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter in the Championship, which is the only one where there was any genuine doubt, and which was the only one which deviated from the strict PPG method used in the SPFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F_T_Y Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 A fitting farcical end for the juniors. Might as well give talbot the junior cup too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the set up we are moving to next season also awarded their titles using the same method. Is that a farce as well or is it just a reason to have a go at Talbot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used the same method . Its a clear comparison. The points per game differential between Talbot and Kilwinning is much greater than Kelty over Bonnyrigg. When I last checked over on the LL forum there was not too much complaint about Kelty getting the title even from Bonnyrigg fans but because this is Talbot people who said nothing about the LL are now in a rage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F_T_Y Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Yes, the whole handling of this situation in Scotland has been a farce, clubs in the lower leagues getting relegated and now hearts and Hamilton trying to reconstruct the league to save them dropping down. How hard would it be just to declare null and void especially since there is going to be conferences next season to sort out the new leagues. Literally no reason to award titles and if you are it should be to the team who was top when the league was suspended. Predicted points mean jack, results are earned on the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, that's why predicted points were not used. Points per game was used. Points that were earned on the pitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Gold Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The main moaners seem to come from the Clydebank fraternity, do they have a hidden agenda against us? Also results were getting earned on the pitch and you can stick a 6-1 win over Kilwinning to highlight it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you think Kilwinning should have been awarded the league. If so, fair enough, that's your opinion. i am not going to argue with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 All a conspiracy by the pyramiders to make sure that Auchinleck Talbot can't compete in the Junior Cup next season Now with WoSFL Conference, Scottish Cup, South Challenge Cup and WoSFL Cup games on the docket they can't really fit in the Junior Cup 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, so do I but if they are going to award a title (and I think they had to given it carries a Scottish Cup place and the LL and HL setting a precedent) I think they chose the correct method 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any news from the East on who's being put forward for the Scottish? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that's what the East Region did. There were a couple of teams that were top and would win on PPG but that wasn't the case across the board. Here, apart from Darvel's split title, 3rd place or lower in the standings are champions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
