Can someone clarify why WoS clubs can still participate?

We lost the game as we had ten men for 84 mins of the game. No issue with that but if this is a clear goal scoring opportunity then I’m Oliver Giroud.
Show the picture on edge of 18 yard box and your argument becomes less convincing.
Unfortunately it's the Refs opinion that counts.

If you (correctly) award a free kick 25 yards out from goal with no covering defender I'm not sure how you can say it is not DOGSO and thus a red card.
Looks like the referee got the big decisions correct going by those highlights. Typical deflection tactics from the manager, who obviously isn't going to come out and say "my centre half pairing cost us the game".
I quite like the second goal where the camera is perfectly in line with the last defender and we see number 6's failed attempt to play the offside trap...
You could argue but you'd be wrong. Number 3 is in line with the ball but 5+ metres away, so isn't making up that distance while the attacker keeps going towards goal.
1st sending off, I'd have been shouting for a red if same incident had been at the other end.
From the highlights I can't see any decision that the officials made wrong - always the easiest option to blame officials.
We regularly change our starting 11 as Herdy has always stated he has confidence in all his players. To be fair this has worked more often than not.
Personally given we regularly use 5 subs it's a natural rotation in most games. I'd prefer we start strongest team and freshen with subs.
Yesterday we started with little or no recognised partnerships in any area of the team. Cunningham started on right having played central in most if not all his previous starts.
Allison and Skinner, can't recall watching them played together at centre half before. That lack of understanding showed at 1st goal and ended in red for Allison.
A bad day at the office and hopefully we react to this and learn from it.

A very disappointing end to a great run.
Another wholesale rotation of the team saw no recognised partnership starting. This cost us early as LTHV walked through both our midfield and defence, Allison bringing down their player just outside the box and deemed as last man so saw red very early on - to rub salt into the wounds they scored from free kick.
It got worse as we went 2-0 down. Followed by McMullan missing a penalty.
2nd half wasn't much better, 4-0 down before the subs started to impact to bring us back to 4-2.
Thom deservedly sent off late on for an assault of a foul.
Easy to point fingers at officials, but that's not totally fair as we were architects of our own downfall.
Tynecastle at home next Friday and we need to show the right reaction.

Oh touch a nerve did it.
Our house is perfectly in order just a shame some of you couldnt behave when you were there.
As for getting it roond me,result of no significance to me,just asked about the match day experience for your visitors.
All the best in the next round.
You've got a bit momentum going this season.
If it was SFA advice you have little choice but follow.
This decision also penalised Linlithgow, through additional costs, providing stewards and portable toilets not to mention loss of income from pie and bovril income from Sauchie supporters.
Unfortunately the decision to have segregation seems to have been justified with one bad egg from Sauchie launching a missile at Linlithgow fans.

It's all about the result and sometimes you have to win ugly.
Whilst our midfield / forwards were off the boil our defence were superb.
Wind spoiled the game - but same for both sides and possibly suited Sauchie more than Linlithgow.

Really looking forward to the game tomorrow. Should be a good old fashioned blood n snotters cup tie.
Sauchie have hit form in recent weeks so Rose will need to be at their best.

Another outstanding performance against a very smart and skillful side who are only 3 points off the top of the lowland league. Whilst we didn't dismantle them quite as categorically as we did Penecuik they lost their discipline and could not deal with our domination in midfield and consistent threat up front. They rarely caused us much concern and if anything the 3-1 victory flatters the Strollers.
It's obvious from the footage that Cunningham was assaulted prior to his sending off but unfortunately the ref only saw part of that altercation, Sandy is an honest player, but no mug and will be missed next week, however our strength in depth is so impressive that the team we put next week ought to be enough against a Sauchie side who are scoring goals for fun albeit against far less capable opposition.
A cup tie is always tough however and we'll need to remain consistently at our best. It's a scintillating prospect, I can't wait for 3pm on Saturday! HTG
The assault by the Strollers player in Thomson was a clear a red, unfortunately the ref bottled it - also reduced us to 10 men.
Watching replay of Cunningham sending off, the assistant referee either missed the incident or was not supporting the referee as it all stemmed from a punch from Arnie Kasa.
The subsequent Strollers sending off was a clear assault and looks worse on the highlights.
But that shouldn't distract from another superb Rose performance.
Whilst Stowe rightly picked up MoM for yet another hat-trick, I thought Heaver and Thomson were awesome together on our left.

Another cracking watch with Rose worthy winners via another Stowe hat-trick.
Only downside was an injury to Cammy Thomson via a tackle that should have been a red all day long.
The game became farcical with Cunningham seeing red followed by a Strollers player.

Very good today. Scored 4 had 4 cleared off the line and missed 2 or 3 other good chances. Penicuik were rank rotten.
The red card only gives Penicuik something to cling to.
We were magnificent all over the park and an absolute joy to watch.
I genuinely think we could use the bingo machine to pick the team and we would still get a performance from them.
Two massive games ahead starting next week with Civil Service Stroller then Sauchie in the Scottish.

League 2 teams live in fear of dropping out, they won’t change, happy to stick with the ridiculous set-up of playing each other 4 times per season.
Same could be said of LL blocking 3 leagues below.
Majority of LL teams are playing above their real level, safe in the knowledge of only 1 relegation spot.

Took in the game yesterday as a neutral. Tight 20 minutes or so until the game opened up and became a great watch. Linlithgow looked good at times and were compact and organised. Spartans huffed and puffed and played the ball around reasonably well without any real threat. However when it comes to goals you will fail to see as many crackers as you did in this game. Once Linlithgow had taken control of the game they looked really good and the goals flew in. Mark Stowe is some player and really should be playing at a higher level. Great days entertainment. Pies were world class too.
A good summary.
Early doors, the game took time to settle and could have went in any direction.
Once Stowe scored that seemed to relax the Rose and could only see one winner after that.
2nd goal as good a team effort as you will see.

Another excellent 90 minutes of top class football and worth every penny of the £10 admission.

Dalkeith kept it to 0-0 for 9 seconds
That 9 seconds included Stowe taking an extra touch before scoring....!!!

Sad to hear of the death of Tommy Ure a former Rose Captain and an absolute character.
I always recall him telling a story about his pal who loved the three R's - the Rose, Rangers and Wrestling....!!!

Number 5 absolutely lost the plot. Otherwise the result could have been very different.
Not the best game that the Rose have played this season but qualifying for next round is all that matters.
Hopefully the injury to number 4 isn't to serious.

Looking forward to welcoming our visitors from Berwick tomorrow, should be a cracking match.
Mixed emotions time for Jimmy Crease with his links to Berwick and Rose.
P.S please bring the team that played Stoneyburn..!!

Why specifically violence there are lots of crimes committed which also leave a lasting impact on their victims.
The drug dealer selling to someone who then overdoses is just one example.
Surely every case needs dealt with on its own merits and ultimately clubs live with their decisions.

Alan and Finnie Fowler and both regularly attend games.
Also Eric and Derek Sinclair as well.

Doesn't it count as a continuation of this season? So EC & Kelty in the draw with Linlithgow & Gala.
The following season being the 3 SPFL & just the Qualifying Cup winner.
I assume this is some sort of bonus cup for winning the qualifying Cup?
Does winning this add on then qualify you for anything else?

Is the LL still fit for purpose?
A league set up by application, before influx began to EoS. Its now a two tier league of poor teams playing above their level and competitive teams.
Add in manufactured teams who saw opportunity to jump the Q to a higher level by application b4 ability.
Introduction of Colt teams is as much to do with no real competitive leagues for them to play in, other than age group football.
The LL is also blocking tier 6 with only 1 promotion place for 3 leagues.
The rest of the pyramid is working better than LL.

How are we feeling, Rose fans? Confident of a title-winning season?
More confident after seeing how quickly we have went about adding to and securing our current squad.
Last year was about building foundations again after recent seasons, in winning 2 cups, we have exceeded expectations.
Roll on 2022/23

so far this looks like the squad is as follows when putting all the info together:
Musa Dubiga (Whitehill Welfare)
Lewis Hawkins
Jamie MacCormack
Devon Jacobs
Zander Miller
Keir MacAuley
Jack Smith
Nick Locke
John Ward (Berwick Rangers)
Alassan Jones (Haddington Athletic)
Declan Hughes (Stenhousemuir)
Dan Watt (Hill of Beath)
Dylan Coll (Clydebank U-20)
plus probably Murray Carstairs who was on a two year contract and wouldn't need to be announced
If 8 or 9 new players are being signed that leaves 2 or 3 new arrivals. Guess there could also be loan signings on top of that and the new U-20 team will all be on the books for LL action as well.
Dubiga was one of the best keepers in the EoS last season. He hails from Linlithgow, so Bo'ness will be a total culture shock for the laddie.
