    First ever visit to Whitestone Park today for the Peebles Rovers game, who eventually claimed a deserved 2-1 win, attendance of about 35.

    A real shame if this venue is consigned to history.  Yes it isn't fenced in, and their changing rooms are miles away, but it's a fantastic setting.  Has to be a solution rather than another 3g cage which seemingly is the alternative.

    Yes, too many 3g cages.

    "Star drop another 2 points", or Star gained a point against a rejuvenated Leith side unbeaten at home since November!!!

    St Andrews are in the driving seat, no doubt, but you appear inconsistent of late. Look forward to seeing you at Nitten next week! 🌟 

    Good, positive thinking, but Dunipace, St Andrews, Camelon and Whitburn will see it as Star dropping 2 points.

    Said absolutely noone. You couldn't even find out who you were playing some weeks

    That's almost true, apart from the bit about not knowing who you were playing each week, but it also made it easier for the person making up the fixtures to make sure that teams weren't sent on long midweek journeys because the other fixtures weren't carved in stone, and could be re-arranged more easily.

    One bad situation? Here's another example. In the Juniors the away team in a cup-tie received a share of the gate or if that wasn't enough then they'd receive a guarantee. You could be drawn away from home in all cup-ties (with the exception of the South Challenge Cup) and get hee-haw but you've got to pay travel expenses to players taking their cars or the bus hire. 

    The juniors used to have the home team keeping all the gate, but it was changed when teams complained because they were missing out on a share of big gates at the likes of Linlithgow, Whitburn, Bo'ness etc.

    Doesn't look very good for the EOS regarding the points deductions. Surely all the teams should be checked before issuing the final table.

    In WOSFL Div 4, Thorn Athletic were a whisker away from being ejected from the league for pulling out of their last game of the season down in Campbeltown. It was only when league received character references from other Div 4 teams that they got a fine. It was their first and only offence

    This is much more serious and if club are a multiple offender stronger sanctions seem applicable.

    Could take a while. Still haven't seen any disciplinary action against the ex-Syngenta officials after they made a mockery of the league.

    Burntisland Shipyard are    RELEGATED  
    Coldstream are    RELEGATED  


    Kinnoull's hopes were dashed at the death as Dunbar came from behind to land the title... Glenrothes had collapsed and Luncarty were always decidedly long odds. Congratulations to Seasiders.

    Burntisland's recent form deserted them as they capitulated home to Rosyth. That left a shootout in Berwickshire: where in astonishing circumstances and despite 10-man Coldstream leading 3-0 early-doors Lochore struck 4 times to survive.

    Sympathy for the relegated teams, but at least it will save the EOS the headache of making sure Whitburn travel to Coldstream on a winter midweek.

    Players are contracted to the club, not the manager. If he was to leave the club tomorrow players couldn't surely just up sticks and leave, they would have to see out the remainder of their contract with the club or be transfer listed for a fee. A new manager coming in might not even want those players anyway and would be happy to cash in on them and pull his own side together.

    If Chris King did say this about his players, its a bit of an arrogant statement to make and I can see why this threat would hit a nerve with nitten supporters. 

     

    Didn't work like that at Syngenta.
