None lol, I just keep up regularly, and anyone claiming East Stirling aren't looking in danger after that result and the ones preceding it is kidding themselves tbh.

I was going to guess internationals, but that's over and its back to European club football. So probably a bunch of the squad is off for the UEFA Youth League and everyone involved OGB/LL is cool with them moving the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag Nation Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 15 hours ago, ekok said: Clearly having difficulty in grasping the concept of multiple outcomes from multiple situations. In an ideal world we would have a simple, clear and consistent approach to relegation and promotion across the Pyramid. Until or if ever we have that, we are where we are You will never have that so long as there are regional leagues. Even if you had two automatic relegation places from SPFL2, there wouldn't necessarily be one to the HL and one to the LL. And so on down the pyramid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekok Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Agree the current Tier 5 regional set up , possible non existent relegation from Tier 4 and limited Tier 6 promotion into Tier 5 makes a simple solution very difficult. Breaking this down ; Probably not economically feasible to have National Leagues below Tier 4, at least without infusing some SPFL funds, as goes to Tier 4 .Unlikely to say the least. Accept promotion into Lowland could be increased, but 1 ( so long as a licensed West/ East/ South Champion Club qualify, likely to be the case from now on) automatic. Case could be made to increase that to 2, if circumstances are that bottom Club is saved relegation. The rules around that would take a bit of crafting. Next step could be increase to 2 automatic. Hard sell with current arrangements at top ie win league/ win play off with Highland Champion/ win play off with Team 42 ( always with home advantage in second game). Complete and total farce , embarrassment to Scottish Football. Contrast the Highland arrangements, mimicking League 2 , with bottom Club getting a play off. Never ever should play offs be to stay up, only to go up. The real solution is a fundamental review of the entire Pyramid. That will allow a joined up, intelligent, workable, fair and progressive structure to emerge. I live in hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekok Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Fair enough, they do sustain interest and some excitement. Still think same could be achieved without second chance playoffs . For example two down from SPFL, one automatic up from Championship + winner of play off. Also the relative small size of our Leagues is another issue that should be revisited 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 leagues are small so there’s the repetition issue of playing each other 4 times a season. The play offs mean almost everyone at both ends has something to play for until the end so it’s very successful in maintaining interest. Don’t waste your breath talking about making the leagues bigger, as Sky Tv and the bigots control that scenario. Changing the pyramid from LL / HL and downwards is an issue for the non leagues to sort. Wouldn’t hold much hope of that, the LL can’t even run it’s own division well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekok Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Ok fine , be happy with your reward failure ethos. Most other Leagues and sports have grasped the concept of encouraging upward momentum, not stasis 8 hours ago, big al said: 7 hours ago, Stag Nation said: 8 hours ago, big al said: Edited October 4, 2022 by ekok 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
