The whole league as a competition is devalued if there are games in it with youth teams that can't be relegated or promoted as far as I am concerned. Seems ridiculous to promote someone from it or relegate someone to it.

Should scrap the promotion playoff next season if this goes ahead. A complete farce that goes against the pyramid and makes a mockery of the division.

Ask the experts who set up the protocols for f**k sake. Some of the comments on here are fucking ludicrous

Surely Danny Denholm just can't take the risk of playing tonight either after this news

I can see why East Fife were concerned - it must have been quite confusing at the time and I'm not blaming them. Fact is the league was started knowing there was some risk and all clubs have protocols to follow to minimise this. There was always a chance in every game played this season. I'm more bemused by the sheer number of posts on here going on about the testing system and protocols that just cause confusion.

They have never made anything absolute at any point in the season. At any time someone could have developed it after a test and then played. Your definition of 'in contact' may well be different to what is regarded as 'close contact' that would require isolation and that is what the protocols exist for. Should we all find out what every players job is and what their partner's job is just to see if we think they are more likely to have it? How far do you take this? If we broke protocols then we should be punished. Other than a snide comment from Young, no one has suggested this.

We make the clubs follow covid protocols to reduce the chances of anyone with covid spreading it off the field of play where it is much more likely to happen. Some of the posts on this show a real lack of understanding of the issues to be honest

Regardless of whether EF were right to not play, I am not sure 'couldn't be completed' was included to encompass the scenario of teams refusing to play games that had been given the all-clear.

Enjoying the desperation from the Falkirk contingent

The story seems to be the Roma president was scammed and the ref had nothing to do with it. So a dodgy president but not a fixed game. The game used to be on youtube and you can see the ref didn't do anything to help Roma and even disallowed one of their goals. Great achievement by United and a shame they didn't win but it's interesting how so many think it is a 'fact' the ref cheated and that he was 'done'.

When was the ref 'done'? I can see after he 'fixed' this game that he went on to referee a uefa cup final, a european cup final, a world cup semi final and the final of the european championships. Strange list of games to get when he was 'done' for 'fixing' a game. Or perhaps he wasn't actually 'done' at all?

The referee must signal and will never restart the match until both teams are ready. Its not worth his hassle even tho there is a grey area in the rules. If Donald Trump was a ref he would, I struggle to think of anyone else that is stupid enough. I disagree but didn't mean to dislike this, sorry.

When England tried it the other team weren't all back in their own half, which is the issue. I think the answer to the original question is yes. As long as the ref notices all players are in their own halves they can allow the kick off.

Hahaha steady on - let's just enjoy the promotion for a while

Utterly embarrassing post. Didn't even really read it either. Imagine putting that much effort in just to show us Clyde fans how unimportant we are. What a fucking embarrassment of a human being you are. See you in league one

absolute fucking joke. gone too far this time.

Please let this embarrassment be over soon. If we are being honest, he should have been relieved of his duties after about a week when it became clear he had zero fucking intention of fulfilling half his role as "player-manager" and was using us to further his own managerial "career" (HA!) rather than get the best results for the club. Virtually every single thing since has been one shambles after another. I don't read the Record or believe any shit that is in it but the idea we are asking him to think it fucking over after picking up 2 points in 10 games is beyond a joke. Someone at the club draw a fucking line under this before it is too late.

Excuse me, but what the f**k are you on about? I don't think I've mentioned the name situation once since it was dealt with and I didn't go and follow some other team. So f**k off ETA - and you think someone who stops supporting the club because we are shite is more understandable than someone refusing to go due to a lying Chairman with a desire to throw away the club's history. I'm not going over all that again but you have a strange idea of what being a football fan is.

Well, I think making a decision to try a few youngsters in a cup is fine but if the club are going to decide to treat it as a non-competitive match and not even have the manager take charge of the team, then we could have told the fans/press, etc why we were doing so. We should also not be charging £10 in these circumstances.

as much as this tournament is a load of shite, this could get seriously embarrassing. not exactly sure what marker is being laid down by the club or the manager. i never saw them publicly come out and condemn the idea of 'colt teams' anywhere. i admit i may have missed it.

A no' bad squad for next season. Can't wait for it to start to be honest and I can't remember the last time I felt like that

Excellent news!!

Nearly a full week and Sevco fans are still entirely discombobulated and indeed utterly ruined. Haven't laughed this much since Rangers died. Thank you Hibs.
