parsforlife Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I have long term wished to see how the game would change if we let the conceding team KO as soon as they wished. Obviously not the current rule but then there is a reason 99% of teams who have just scored happen to have at least one player finding it very difficult to move the extra 10 yards to get over the centre line. Seems odd to have so many players back in their own half but not ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastyMan Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Big news for the top of the table. Fauldhouse Utd played an ineligible player in their win over Armadale start of April. Result overturned and puts Armadale Th in with a shout having both Whitburn and Bo'ness Ath to play 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic that the Armadale bench complained continually to the referee about offside decisions when they only won at Whitburn because of an incorrect offside decision. I was surprised there weren't neutral linesman for a game like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still would have took a point before the game and it was sweeter to get it after being 2 down. Not bothered bout winning this one of ConferenceX,its all about finishing in the top 2 and getting promoted into a higher league in next season's EoSFL league system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stulch Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 "In the event of a net gain of 1 club from the Lowland League (Vale of Leithen down, nobody up), the club finishing 14th in the Premier Division will also be relegated to the First Division; and the 8th-placed club with the better record in Conferences A & B will remain in the First Division; and the 3rd-placed club in Conference X will be among the clubs forming a new Second Division."From Conference A thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsewhere on the forum it's been said there are no new applicants for the EoS Leagues so it leaves a rump of just 8 clubs in the bottom division. Is an 8 team league even sustainable? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 That would make 16-18-18-8, I'd say going to 16-16-16-12 for the season after would be ideal (obviously can increase depending on new clubs joining etc). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 The suggestion that 3rd place in Conference X goes up in both a net loss and a net gain scenario seems a bit strange to me. I understand for a net loss to the LL and how it cascades up the divisions - an additional Conference A/B club goes up to keep the Premier at 16, the best 8th place goes up to keep the First at 16, and 3rd in Conference X goes up to keep the Second at 18. But a net gain means an extra First Division side (17) - so you keep the best 8th place in the First and then promote 3rd in Conference X to keep the Second at 18? Or you just run 16-17-18-9? Strange how this hasn't been publicly confirmed before now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuggie123 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 There's only 2 games left in conference X, with promotion places probably going to the final game. Surely the East of Scotland should be clarifying the situation so that the 4 clubs involved know where they stand going into these games. Seems basic stuff to me. I'm starting to get the impression that the East of Scotland has got too big for those running it to handle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs have been given more detailed information which is where the above quote comes from. Plus the clubs involved would have had the chance to ask questions of the LL committee to clarify things. If that hasn't been made clear to fans it's a failure of the EoS social media and the clubs themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get my head round the net gain structure, so bloody simple when you have laid it out. Am getting to old to compute numbers it seems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) There has been a tweet in response to a question, though still not complete clarity. I suppose if the EOS want to avoid a 17 team first division if Darvel get promoted, then yes they'll need to promote 3rd place in Conference X. Though it then means a 8 team Third Division next season. Edited May 16, 2022 by Ginaro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should ask your club rather than having a dig at the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
