jimbaxters Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 In light of the national developments of last night and today, I came on here expecting to see that the matches would be suspended until early New Year at least. Genuinely flabbergasted that there's no mention of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 A full list of Premier Division fixtures were scheduled for both Boxing Day and 2nd January. The clubs were then offered the opportunity to change the date of these matches to dates a few days either side of the Saturdays, but not to refuse to play. None of these matches have been cancelled, and no teams have objected to playing over the festive period.As far as the restrictions are concerned, Scotland is going back into tier 4, not into a total lockdown. The rules are the same as they were the last time we were in tier 4, i.e. the leagues designated by the SFA are allowed to continue and their teams/officials have travel exemption for training and matches. If we were going back into a total lockdown, like in Northern Ireland, then even elite level football would be stopped. But we're not, so until we are told otherwise, we carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passbackdave Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Pollok absolutely down top money and match day safety. I was part of the discussion at our AGM that then went to committee. Not one voice in favour among fans of playing 20-21 and zero to do with the fucking Juniors - all about how a six figure wage bill would get covered.How have pollok convinced there whole squad 2 sign new extended contracts at start of this season when there not playing? Correct me if am wrong but christie n forde r only 2 who wanna play and r out on loan? Whats the rest of the squad upto?

But one thing may have just changed and that seems to be that the new variant Covid-19 is easier to transmit/spread. That really is a concern. Only the hoped for vaccine roll-out will help and there's some uncertainty that some/all vaccines will deal with the new variant virus. If they don't and the virus keeps on mutating then we're all in the mire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The management committee should grow a pair and show some LEADERSHIP and cancel all games till at least the end of January 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're all intelligent lads, surely you can see what you're doing is wrong at this time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The guys who are administering the WoSFL at present can only go with what the clubs have voted for. A majority of the clubs voted to start the season, so that is what happened. So far, none of the clubs who continue to participate (70% of the total number of clubs) have expressed a desire to stop the games being played. If a set of clubs were to get together and request a SGM to overturn the earlier vote and stop the season, then we would respect that vote in the same way as we respected the earlier vote.The IMG has several members from clubs who have chosen not to participate in the season, so we are well aware of all the issues. But we have to respect what the clubs voted for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're all intelligent lads, surely you can see what you're doing is wrong at this time. Right let's just stop all of Scottish football now mid season as Talbot and their fans don't fancy playing this season or maybe next season too...? I am sure Talbot will have fun in tier 9 playing Ardeer once they come back when everyone has been vaccinated and it's safe. How many covid cases have came from teams at our level playing in Scotland? Very few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right let's stop all of Scottish football now mid season as Talbot and their fans don't fancy playing this season or maybe next season too. I am sure Talbot will have fun in tier 9 playing Ardeer once they come back in 2023. Why are you bringing Talbot into it? Imagine there is nothing in the "My Team" part of my profile if it helps you. People have been told not to go and see their families at Christmas but you all think that it's ok to play games which will only have meaning for one team at the end of this season? Your point could be flipped to say that it's ok for the SG to tell it's citizens to stay at home and not travel but because you fancy seeing the result on a Saturday night, it's ok for your team to play?

Sorted.If the clubs wish to introduce such a rule then there is a process for that to happen. But no club has expressed such a desire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
