I wouldn't say exactly, as far as I'm aware, a simple majority was required. So if 2 clubs would have abstained, only 8 needed to vote in favour instead of 9. Unless it's over 50% of members having to vote in favour, correct me if that was the case, but I don't think so? Obviously in the end they were the only abstainers so their vote had a similar effect to a no-vote, but they didn't know that in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them did have at least one loan spell though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 8 hours ago, Shannon said: Lowland League to be stripped of tier 5 status. I wish! I was very pro pyramid but we had a far better league structure, an actual Scottish Junior Cup and great rivalries in the old Juniors. For all its failures we had a product that the SPFL and their fans respected and should have pushed for tier 5 status 8-10 years ago. Most of the teams in Lowland League would be tier 7 & 8 apart from old Junior teams like Kelty, Bonnyrigg Rose and Bo'ness. I am bitterly disappointed and feel a lot of clubs in the West and East of Scotland in particular have been misled and lied to by the people in charge at Lowland League. West of Scotland should go say that they want to stay at 20 or 18 Premier teams for 2022-23 and beyond and only 3 or 5 go down. Why should we go to 16 teams and have 7 relegated while Lowland League expands to 18 and has 1 maybe relegated...by the way when is the vote on the extra relegation places taking place? I hope all clubs support that as much as they did the Colts. Will George and the Lowland League be pushing for 3 relegation spots or maybe 7 relegation spots like the West as it's only fair? If the WoSFL and EoSFL put that forward, I'd be strongly encouraging my club to support it. Get the pyramid to mirror the old junior structure. North, West and East sections, whose champions play a play-off against club 42. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Why abstain then? Shitebags looking to save face. They might not be involved in the league next season, I'd expect a club in their position to abstain from everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't. You either support colts in the league system or you don't. Whether your team actually ends up playing them or not is beside the point. They had a vote and decided not to use it. They are therefore shitehawks and deserving of some stick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Agreed that Kelty aren't wanks and aren't good guys over this. It's fair of them to abstain until they know where they'll be and an abstention is effectively a no vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of their 23 man squad played for B Teams that had been entered into competitive first team leagues. One of them was the third choice goalkeeper who played one game for Dinamo Zagreb's B Team, having already played over 100 first team games before signing for them. The other played for Le Mans B in France. Literally none of them were products of the Croatian B team system. 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't credit most of them with the wit to lie about it. They're just repeating shite they've seen tweeted by Boyne_1690_No_Surrender on twitter.

superbigal Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I 100% bet if Celtic and Rangers finish in the bottom 2 spots that will mean no relegation to the EOS or SOS or WOS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick fans have disappeared since their club went down the shitter and the rest of the LL wanks XI either have no fans or the ones they do have are probably all OF/"Scotland" fans already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet. Why the hell aren't the other No clubs coming out and saying who they are?
