Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Apparently the SJFA have an agreement to enter the pyramid at level 6, is this going to be a playoff between east juniors/eosl/sosl/west juniors for a single promotion spot to the lowland league?

BishopLenBrennan Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Excellent. It's about time the Juniors either contributed to Scottish football as a whole or went to fester in the amateur leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Progress sounds good. However tom johnston has a long history of coming out of meetings and sending out emails that get proven to be a complete misrepresentation of how discussions went. I await more news but certainly not taking this as gospel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilbowie Benches Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I would imagine there’s a lot more detail than just play off dates to be worked on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Maybe the considerable progress is the removal of the disciplinary, registration and fixtures stumbling blocks for the HL/LL? And "the detail" is basically everything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Given his track record I would treat TJ's utterances with a big dollop of scepticism. His "kosher" info in the past has been well wide of the mark. For a start, the East Juniors cannot exist in parallel with the EOSFL, that is a non-starter for a number of reasons and I expect would be opposed at the PWG meeting by the EoS rep. There is an EoSFL Board meeting on Monday so I guess clubs will be informed after that what was discussed and agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Maturin Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 It's like the boy that cried wolf with these press releases from his friend. As others have said we await the detail with interest. It has to happen eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebell1 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Mmmm, The embargo on applications by new eos clubs for sfa entry licence has still not been lifted either which is rather concerning for clubs hoping to gain this ASAP. We were hoping applications would have been accepted after June meeting but there has been a complete silence on this even when contacting sfa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Can anyone produce any information as to what the progress made actually is and what was/has/will be discussed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaverysam Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Why do the junior association feel they have any right to be talking in these terms, potentially wanting in en masse, for many years they have made it quite clear they want nowt to do with senior fitba, let any future applicants do so under their own steam and go through the same process as any other clubs. If that ain't good enough ask yer man Johnson to magic up a new league for you then fester away quietly like good boys eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 The EoS should be looking for automatic promotion for its EoS Premier champions in 2019/20, not getting dragged into another playoff situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 So we still await any form of concrete confirmation of a wosfl and what level this will enter the pyramid. We also await the outcome of any formal discussions around promotion spots and relegation spots from the LL. The email seems a tad premature then with little or no concrete information attached so people have a transparent view of what was discussed.

It's not premature from the SJFA's point of view and it was for their members not the wider pyramid. The story's gone from the west region being ripped up by a start up WoSFL and the juniors at death's door. To the entire SJFA being moved into the pyramid, meaning the East Juniors maybe jumped too early. There's only some very minor details to iron out Juniors suddenly have a nice positive spin on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
