Quote Junior Cup ... insanity ... Subject of hundreds of complaints from clubs every winter ... some spending as many as 8 weeks idle waiting for postponed ties to be played ... and despite the loss of 26 clubs from last season ... `insane` SJFA are intent on passing up the opportunity to play just ONE TIE in November and thus, prevent the mid-winter shenanigans ... they have 129 entries, so all that is needed is to play 64 ties in September, 32 ties in October ...then the odd one in November, leaving 32 teams to resume in January. Instead ... they`ve botched the cup yet again. .. even though it might be their last chance .. West Region .. fixture CRAP ... yet again ... could`ve been a `fresh` start .. but they f*** it up completely .... extra games for clubs who struggled to finish 17-18. Fixtures issued too quickly and compiled by an obvious idiot ... opening league day on Aug 4 has not a single game in the Garnock Valley .. Kilwinning, Dalry, Kilbirnie, Beith and up to Johnstone and Neilston .. all away from home. No need for this CRAP at all as we offered a fixture set which would have paired neighbouring clubs no matter what division they were in ... but NO .. Juniors prefer crap. Good to see you're as sensible as ever... They are playing 64 ties in September (the 2nd round featuring 128 clubs), which is a month earlier than last season.

Shannon Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Can`t agree about the fixtures .. which have absolutely appalling `distribution` .. seven Premiership games in Ayrshire .. one at Pollok. Ok .. you got fixtures up to December .. many of which will not go ahead due to weather and dreadful Junior Cup policies ... but have to ask, what planet is Kennie on ? There are more Ayrshire teams than Glasgow teams so will be more teams in Ayrshire at home some weeks then Glasgow. Ffs. Championship will have Glasgow games if a neutral is desperate for a Glasgow games that's not Pollok.....[emoji849][emoji23] Teams are all mostly home > away > home > away in league with few exceptions due to circumstances outwith Kennies control like annual Marymass Irvine derby, cup draws and once Junior cup drawn ties added in too. All teams can now get arranging hospitality, promote games, know when derbies are right up until end of November and not even July yet. Well done Kennie. Great start in my opinion. Also weather generally only starts calling games off at end of November to January so fixture list will stay largely intact that's been released at the moment.

Jimmy Gentles Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Beith should have been at home to unfurl the flag and its normally the case but that aside im liking the look of the fixtures and well done kennie. 16 team leagues are far better too as its less of a rat race and it gives teams a better chance to blood perhaps youth players from the local boys clubs as there will be a far bigger safety net from relegation.
