grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) First of all though we need to calm down. We need to get Pat Sauchie until we start talking about Creetown. Can’t see Sauchie losing a game so we need four points first! Edited April 18, 2023 by grinderbrokeyourhearts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best performance but always looked in control and result was about right. Tynecastle had 2 or 3 good players and were pretty decent but a bit "lightweight" up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzler Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 3 goals, a clean sheet and most importantly 3 points at this stage of the season. Ideal Tuesday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Heid Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 On 18/04/2023 at 11:00, highlandterrier said: This Scotsman article from a few days ago says "As it stands, Rose would compete in a two-legged play-off with South of Scotland leaders Creetown – currently going through the process to obtain their SFA license – for a place in the fifth tier, as current West of Scotland leaders Beith, are an unlicensed club.". The LL league rules for what they are worth state the licence has to have been obtained by 31st of March unless the team have been granted a waiver. So possibly they may have been granted a waiver and the door is still open. https://slfl.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Lower-Pyramid-play-off-rules-2020.pdf The lack of transparency is making a further mockery of an already broken pyramid system. A pyramid system which isn't fluid and has to many separate parts SPFL / LL / EOS, WOS, SOS etc etc each trying to fend off the league below. -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Heid Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 Creetown completed their application before deadline, which has been approved and are eligible to play in a playoff. If Creetown win league play off (EoS v SoS) dates are 20th May home and 27th May away. If Darvel or Talbot win then EoS winner would play South Winner at home on 20th and West winner away on 27th May. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of interest what's the source on the above about the application before the deadline and potential dates ? I see Creetown dropped points the other night meaning Abbey Vale are still in the mix for winning SoS also and they would be ineligable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit unfair that the EoS team would be away to the WoS team again, repeating last year. Should it not alternate? Happy to see that this might not be required this year but the principal still applies… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastyMan Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Don't know for sure if these are the latest rules on the play offs, but it's just a random draw each year for home and away https://slfl.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/slfl-rules-v20.pdf 2.1 Three Qualifying Clubs a) There will be a Play-Off Round Robin organised by the SLFL to determine, subject to these rules, which club shall be promoted to the SLFL. The champions of the EoSFL, SoSFL and WoSFL will contest the round robin. b) The round robin shall be played on a home or away principle, with each club playing one home game and one away game, which club plays what opponent at home and what away being decided by a random draw supervised by the SLFL Board. Three points for a win and one point for a draw. Where a match is drawn it will be followed by the taking of kicks from the penalty mark as defined by International FA Board rules, the winner receiving a further one point. At the end of the competition the club with the highest points total will be declared winners of the round robin , and, subject to eligibility, will be promoted to the SLFL.

FairWeatherFan Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Just now, Spyro said: I might be getting mixed up with the King/Alba/Strathclyde cup winners’ playoff then They set up a cycle for the Cup Winners Shield since it's guaranteed there will be 3 winners each season. Although I don't think they've actually stuck to it since they seem to just slot the games in where they can in their respective calendars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
