glensmad Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 There is a proposal from the HL that is supposed to be ready for the north region to sign off on. The North Caledonian League has already agreed to it and the word from them is that it could be implemented as soon as this season if the north region agree to it.There is absolutely no way that could be implemented for this season. Perhaps 2021-22. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are cheats and crooks and if this was the USA, they`d be in jail. It is actually against the law in UK, but rarely applied, especially in Scotland which is only 9% of the UK market and has an astonishingly poor government .. What does the government has to do with it? Judiciary is a separate institution over here, they are the ones deciding whether or not a case gets prosecuted. So if you have any evidence that actual crimes have been committed, feel free to take them to the police. I won't hold my breath for that happening though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a step forward without too many immediate consequences, the HL has spaces available so no requirement for demotion as yet, and it could go ahead without the North Juniors if they can't decide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's thinking about competition law, that's enforced by the Office of Fair Trading, not the police. They have sweeping powers to fine companies without the judiciary being involved at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutankhamen Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I honestly believe the pyramid will be a saviour for certain clubs especially if they can get a licence and into the Scottish Cup. Not one or two but a whole host of clubs in the West will play games over the next decade they could only dream about a few months ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I have no doubt that mick90 is passionate about this subject and puts a lot of thought into what he believes.However, what puts a lot of people off from listening to him (including myself) is the emotive and unnecessarily aggressive tone that he uses when trying to make his point, as if anybody who questions his theories in any way is an imbecile.Until such times as he tempers his personal manner, many people will continue to just ignore him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he's been banging on about the pyramid before it was even close to being a reality, so kudos where it's due I suppose. He probably does have some good ideas, but like you I struggle with his editorialising and general inability to express those ideas succinctly and coherently...I've tried to make sense of some of his stuff on several occasions but normally last about three sentences, as by that point he'll have lapsed into shoutycaps where he almost invariably will choose TO emphasise the wrong word, which combined with his slightly strange, off-kilter written syntax renders a lot of it well-nigh incomprehensible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth happens to be one cool dude in real life. I know like for a lot of us, H will be having a heavy time missing out the fitba fix. Lost count of the Junior/non league grounds i've seen H at. In a normal season H would have probably seen 20 games by now if you include friendlies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
