I tend to agree, and I was very surprised that the Sectional was retained and the late season League Cups scrapped instead of the other way round. I always felt the late season League Cups kept teams in with a wee chance of silverware late in the season and broke up the league schedule a bit. Now if teams go out of the Scottish and the West Cups in the early rounds (as many lower league teams will do) then all they will have to look forward to is league matches for the rest of the season.

Tutankhamen Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Be a few shocks next week when some of the section winners find out the next round is be being played 40/50 miles away. I'm guessing some of the delegates at the West Region meeting didn't bother reporting back to other committee members going by the conversations i've had the last couple of weeks. Eh, all in league cup ties? Nah, it's the Central Sectional League Cup!!! As said to me this week at a friendly game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you ask the Club representatives who voted for such at the West A.G.M. as it was their decision and no-one else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather play a final in Oct/Nov than the middle of June(as it has been in previous years)Our recent final against Pollok we were down to the bare bones after a long hard season, ended up with a couple of serious injuries and had 3 weeks break before back to pre season,yes had the Central league Cup been kept at the expense of the Sectional no doubt the final would have been played earlier,however I still think the sectional allows teams to get up to speed prior to the league campaign and without it when would the first competitive final be May?As you say its all about opinions .

glensmad Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I notice that, of the 31 Sectional League Cup ties being played tonight and tomorrow, only 9 of them have assistant referees allocated. Does anybody know the reason for this ? In the past all Super League teams (Premier or Division One) at home were automatically assigned assistant referees regardless of the opposition, unless there is a shortage of officials for whatever reason. That means that in previous seasons there were at least 13 matches covered by assistant referees on a full fixture card. There are 16 Premiership or Championship sides at home tomorrow, and only 9 of them have assistant referees allocated. Similarly, we have no assistant referees allocated for our home game on Monday night either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilbowie Benches Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I would imagine that because of the bigger top division the championship will struggle to get assistants for every match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mental and sheer fuckabouterry . Guys are still on holiday , players will always pick up niggles at this early stage ( we got two yesterday ) and the two successful teams get hammered with 12 games in 32 days - as said best out of it .
