vikingTON Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Loving the idea that anyone would need to 'cheat' to eject plucky Fort William, when if those gormless clowns had actually been able to field a team and host a match they'd have lost 20-0 on aggregate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Fort William can moan all they want. They’ve known this was coming and it’s amateurish. In fact it’s worse than amateurish. There is better run clubs in the Perth Ammies. The sooner they drop again the better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 This lad in particular seems to be taking things particularly poorly: "Aberdeen is not in the Highlands", hopefully we can get promoted next year. Imagine the meltdown he'll have over a Dundee team entering the HL. [emoji1787][emoji23] 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought that a bunch of North of England Sunday leaguers would show the Teuchters how football is meant to be played. I was at a match down in Lancashire at Nelson (tenth tier of English football) a few months ago, and was stood next to a proper old boy explaining to a local how one of their best players had up sticks to Fort William and seemed at a loss as to why. I would love to how long it took all these hired hands to realise what they'd actually signed up to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just tweeted more or less exactly this in response, right down to the 20-0 part, before I even read your post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Just now, Snafu said: What are they appealing to the SFA about? Are they objecting to being told to cut the grass? It's apparently to do with the player eligibility rules and the fact the HFL refused to let them register extra players for the games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 The biggest story out of all this is the Highland League twitter tweeting for the first time since the end of January. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 2 hours ago, Craig the Hunter said: They really have no shame. The strange angle on even attempting an appeal is that they were the ones that withdrew. The HL didn't stop the games from proceeding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Agree with LTL. They should have played the game under protest and then appealed to have the game replayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't intend the game to be played, they hadn't even bothered painting lines or cutting the grass at Claggan for their pitch inspection. My guess is they went all in bringing players in to avoid coming bottom, when that didn't work they had no plan B to have eligible players for the play off.
