FairWeatherFan Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Maybe it's been explained elsewhere, but this breakdown by Petershill is the first time i've seen why the Phase One / Phase Two approach has been taken instead of a full fixture list. The priority is to get everyone to have played each other once in their division before adding the second round of fixtures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesel1994 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 In an ideal world isn't that the way a set of fixtures should work anyway. You shouldn't be playing Team B home AND away when you haven't yet played Team C home OR away. So why not just issue for the whole season on that basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Can someone in the know clarify what happens in the following circumstances please - If the league is abandoned with 4 games to go and Side A are running away with it but haven't clinched it, would they not be declared champions if they weren't ahead after phase 1? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go out of your way to make it about you, don't be surprised when it does.

Hmm that is poor - Kilbirnie and Troon have somehow been given home matches for each of the five midweek games! Blantyre and KRR also with 4/5 midweek games at home. Meanwhile Cumnock and Largs get no midweek games. Shouldn't be too hard to make sure that these extremes are avoided. Kilbirnie 5 Troon 5 Blantyre 4 K Rob Roy 4 Glenafton 3 Hurlford 3 Kilwinning 3 Talbot 3 Beith 2 Benburb 2 Bonnyton 2 Clydebank 2 Darvel 2 Pollok 2 Rossvale 2 Rutherglen 2 Cumbernauld 1 Meadow 1 Edited June 21, 2021 by Ginaro miscounted, light in bold 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 It looks like the SJFA was tonight. Only bit of news made public so far is the new President in Marc Stanton from Lochee United. Any idea how many West clubs are going to be playing in the Junior Cup in 2021-22? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Licenced club, Glasgow Uni have registered Airdrie as their home gound. Garscube is not up to standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
