They don't really believe that pish do they? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Is the vote tonight an indicative one or a formal one? Last time the initial vote was indicative with the ratification vote not happening until the AGM.

Dunning1874 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Interested to find out who the good guys were. East Stirling voting no means someone who voted against last year must have now voted in favour, even taking into account the possibility Bonnyrigg decided to abstain on the grounds they might not be in the league next season? Some sort of financial meltdown liquidating half the division and letting real football clubs move up the pyramid sooner in place of these 11 fucking scabs would be fantastic. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I suppose the good guys could remain in) Absolutely, bar 4 teams the Lowland league has shown itself to be full of diddies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieman Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Clubs vote not to increase promotion/relegation, same clubs vote to keep B teams in. They a shitting on every club at tier 6 and below and laughing as they do it. They repeated to all and sundry that this was a one-off experiment which would not be repeated, complete shite. The Lowland League is bad for the Pyramid. 11 Rats. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnyriggs mention to their fans ahead of this was that the vote was to give the power to the LL board to negotiate entry of guest clubs in 22/23. Since the LL did have concerns over weakened teams and the like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming Bonnyrigg abstained as they’re hoping not to be in the division next year? Just so I know which clubs I should be continuing to actively want to go bust. Bo’ness and The Shire against. Don’t know who other two are. Edited April 4, 2022 by 8MileBU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannibal Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 And folk on here were claiming it was essential for Scottish football that the SPFL allowed more promotion from this league? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieman Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Someone said to me maybe Vale of Leithen could apply to be a guest team next season for the bantz, I laughed, and then realised that it wouldn't be such a surprise. Maybe the WoS and EoS Premier clubs should all apply to be guest teams next season? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX1886 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) It’s hard to like the LL. So many nothing clubs like Caledonian Braves who will throw themselves at this sort of thing. Feel sorry for proper clubs like Shire, Bonnyrigg, Bo’ness etc who have to put up with it. Closure of the pyramid for a season (or until colts are out) would just punish those clubs since the ones most in favour are more worried about the juniors below them.

Benidorm Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Fucking pub league full of stupid wee hobby teams with no fans or ambition but to suck the old firm teet every year and hope one of the other many glorified amateur mobs drops before them and they can hang on until their own time is up. Genuinely needs disbanded to be honest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely needs disbanded to be honest. WoS and EoS to get together and form a new tier 5 league? invite the good guys in from the LL who voted for more rel/prom and then 5/6 from each Premier. Might not get promotion to the SPFL for a season or two, but it's time to look long term, work together and kill off the LL for the greater good. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwullieac Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 11 clubs staffed or owned by cowardly, greedy idiots willing to dig even deeper into the pile of crap they put the LL in already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner a rival gets formed with actual teams and Bo'ness and the other 3 teams with integrity get out the better at this stage, want nothing to do with diddy wee hobby teams with old firm egotists with money funding them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The 3 T6 leagues in the South should formally approach the SPFL and SFA about participation in the club 42 playoff. It won't get anywhere now but they can't take this lying down and need to start pressuring this tinpot outfit. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkie84 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Great idea, especially considering teams in these leagues are better than most of the LL league teams anyway. Bump WOS, EOS and SOS up to tear 5 , have a 4 way playoff with the HL winners for 2 promotion spots to league 2 with 2 automatic relegation. maybe increase the size of league 2 to accommodate this. Expell the LL from the pyramid so they can have their closed shop with no relegation and can suck the OF teat as much as they like without affecting anyone in the rest of the pyramid. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bump League 2 up to 12 or 14 teams (I think we might have 4 in the LL that are suitable). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
