Unfortunately i think the SFA will do what they want and everyone will just need to accept it and fall in line. It isn't right, it just is. If they are found not to have followed the processes in their own manual, then I don't think clubs need accept it at all. Hopefully a simple appeal can reverse the decision. EDIT: There is an Appellate Tribunal who are there to hear club appeals on Licencing Commitee decisions, of course, it wasn't the Licencing Committee who refused the derogation, so where that leaves the appeals process I dont know.

Ray Patterson Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Utter farce. Congrats to @Burnie_man and all the clubs that have been successful. However, the SFA have yet again proven how horrifically incompetent an organisation they are. I do hope common sense will eventually prevail and Bonnyrigg end up in the LL next season, but f**k me. I am not gonna hold my breath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor7 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 As I was saying... Wtf is this, he can’t be serious? The Juniors is the biggest shambles of an organisation I have ever seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Saddler Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Congratulations to all of the clubs getting licensed today. For those that were rejected for no lights, surely they must have a case for derogation as long as they have a plan in place to comply. If not in law, they must be due a refund because the rules changed after they made their application. I hope this gets sorted in favour of the clubs who have lost out especially Bonnyrigg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 No surprise to see the SFA making a complete mess of the pyramid. We were onto a good thing now we have the season over and countless clubs have no fucking idea what league they will be playing in. I’ve heard from a few people Maxwell is completely out of his depth. No real outcry in the media about it though as it doesn’t involve the top two leagues or colt teams. Clubs have spent a small fortune to get their ground to a level they thought was appropriate and it’s all for nothing? Many of these clubs will never get floodlights so they have wasted all of their time and energy. Really embarrassed by the running of Scottish football but this won’t get near as much column time from journos as a refereeing decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 The cynic in me says the timing of this is on purpose - wait till the first business day after the conclusion of the title playoffs and pull up the drawbridge as punishment for refusing to accept the SFA's tier 6 shambles. Congratulations to all clubs who became licensed today. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically all non SPFL clubs except Bonnyrigg and Whitehill (and Cove obviously)know for certain what league they are playing in next season. Everything else you say is spot on though. Penicuik and Broxburn don’t (assuming they will apply for promotion), there was talk of Linlithgow going up as well, Leith don’t know either, I’m sure junior clubs that have applied for the EoS don’t know either? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowin In the Wind Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 2 hours ago, Tynierose said: I can see their next trick being to include criteria for a having x amounts of seats. That should put those pesky clubs that want too progress in their place. Scottish football eh. Broxburn would currently fall foul to this if it was brought in, but I heard there are plans in place to do this but how far away this is I have no idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such as showing up in balaclavas with baseball bats to the next SFA board meeting? That sentence was probably one step too far. I would have left it at the vague hint of legal action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
