That does not seem eminently bribable to me. That might change if it's not just the OF and there's more structure to it, serious parachute payments etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's this money coming from? And how can clubs that can't afford to run a reserve side suddenly finding the cash for B teams? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL member clubs won’t vote for it, that’s a fact. Tbf, the SPFL Clubs have never ever been asked to vote on anything to do with the pyramid, all done in smoke filled rooms at Hampden. On the subject of transparency tho, the SFA PGB meeting took place yesterday where the guest Clubs and associated LL rules were to be ratified. When can a statement be expected from LL on result and as rumoured, additional criteria imposed ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way should teams be allowed to have more than one team in the actual league system. Firstly there aren't any Juniors. I'd suggest you look at some of the leagues. More than two clubs have two teams in different leagues. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kept the Junior Cup going for old times sake. Not all ex Juniors took part. I'd expect the Junior Cup to be replaced by a national non league cup competition in future years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With line-ups and scorers for all games, probably the best non-league website out there for stattos like me https://www.scottishjuniorfa.com/ Edited May 20, 2022 by cmontheloknow 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a joke of a competition that will see 2 senior clubs play in the final, only the complete fools of the Juniors could run a competition that sees the finalists be from a different "grade" of football that they railed against for decades. Hopefully this is the final end for the Junior Cup and it can finally be consigned to the dustbin of history. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fiver for a ticket, but I've just looked up the trains: none back on the Saturday from Glasgow after 8pm, so the fiver will have to be a donation to the SJFA. Conned in more ways than one, it appears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 The Junior Cup Final at Rugby Park had that much interest in recent years the SJFA gave every Junior club in the country complimentary tickets. Even at that and with Talbot in the Final they were struggling to get 5000 in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members of the Scottish Junior Football Association, they currently play in the North Super League. That would be one of my options if the league places are continued to be sold off. There would also be the Highland League that appear to have a bit more integrity than the Lowland version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
