I see what he's trying to do, but if the suggestion is to start with that set up from next session, effectively bringing teams from the ERJFA in and placing them above teams currently in the EoS league and relegating current EoS teams 2 levels instead of the 1 they are all expecting, then it's a complete non starter.Over on the 'Junior football, what is the future?' thread, Burnie-man has floated the following suggestions(s) for an EoSFL set-up should the ERSJFA join them in it's entirety in the form of a merger or whether just those ERSJFA clubs eligible to play in the Lowland area were to join as new applicants. Both suggestions seem like a very good fit to me and have the potential to solve the current impasse/confusion being generated by the intransigence of the SJFA and their ill-conceived insistence that the ERSJFA be a standalone part of the Pyramid in the east.
Now, is there anyone in officialdom able to take ownership of this or similar, have their peers coalesce around the concept and go out and make it happen? It really needs to.
If all we are talking about is a structure, where all teams below the premier play in conferences for another season next year to sort out who goes where, then it could work.3 -
PS4.
Unsure how many games you’ve played but it gets better. Would recommend playing online. What platform you on?
I'm not into online. PES I universally play master league, it's why I buy the game every year.
Played about 50 games now (nearly at the end of second season of master league having turned off without saving a few times), so I've given it a decent chance. [emoji846]0 -
Not at all. I've never played FIFA and the game being hard doesn't bother me. I've been PES since Pro Evo and the legendary Ronaldo.
What bothers me is all the stuff I've been saying.
My keeper is shite and every COM keeper is Buffon in his prime.
Every shot at goal by the COM is a goal, whereas I can hardly hit the target.
Tackling is near impossible and the slide button is pointless.
The amount of wee fouls committed by the COM that you get nothing for and they get the slightest of touches as fouls.
I only ever play master league, not interested in online (I'm an old SWOS player!).
In my master league Celtic (I'm Killie) are top of the league having won all 16 games and conceded 1 goal.
Playing against them they play like Barca.
It's just not realistic.
I genuinely can't think of one thing that has improved over last year, which at the top difficulty was still "hard", but also enjoyable.
It's not hard, it's "fake". Granted just my opinion, but I don't like it.

Certainly worse than last year's, which was an enjoyable experience.Whether you like it or not is not for me to argue. But objectively it's not even remotely close to being the worst PES ever.
Even the refs have got shitter.0 -
Stand by it.Behave.
Played again tonight. First time a game has made me physically angry since I was about 14. I'm nearly 40.
Playing this game is not the enjoyable experience it should be.
Get in the fucking sea.0 -
Got this for Christmas.
Pro Evo is officially dead. This is the worst version ever.
Playing Master league:
- Every cross is a goal
- Every shot against is a goal
- Every opposition keeper is Buffon in his prime
- Every tackle is a foul
- 50% of the AI fouls are not given
Among the many things that have annoyed me about the game tonight.
Thoroughly unenjoyable, which given my PS4 has been used for years almost exclusively for PES, is a huge turnaround.
Unfortunate. [emoji853]0 -
There's a club going back to the Juniors? Why on earth would anyone do that?Where's he list of applications. Maybe sauchie is the club going back to the juniors0 -
Technically BSC could play in that too. [emoji846]Clackmannanshire Cup, IMO.
Respective winners plus Stirlingshire winners contest Central Supercup...0 -
Have they published the 2019 requirements on the SFA website yet?

I think that's because you don't appear to know how licensing works. [emoji846]I've never heard of Lochburn Park being licensed and I can't find any reference to it. If it were then it would make me wonder why Maryhill don't do the other bits of paperwork that would get them into the Scottish Cup every year.
Parks don't get licensed, clubs do. And it's about far more than just the park. The ground is only 25% of a license for clubs like BSC with a youth system.
BSC got their license for two years while playing at Maryhill, meaning Lochburn did indeed meet the licensing requirements under the ground section (there are 3 other sections). I believe (again from memory, I was in the LL at the time) BSC actually invested a bit in Lochburn to meet the criteria.
Why don't Maryhill get licensed? Maybe they don't meet the other criteria in the other 3 sections of the license criteria, which is arguably more difficult to do for many clubs than meeting the ground requirements.
Dunno what that's got to do with BSC though, that's Maryhills choice.

I could be wrong, but I think BSC had their license when they played at Maryhill as it was a requirement of the league at the time and they played Scottish games there? Meaning the ground must have met the criteria?I don't think they ever expected either Maryhill or Ashfield to be licensed.
I don't think moving from there was anything to do with the license, from memory it was a spat with their hosts.0 -
I know, I was agreeing with Wullie Robb, the post I quoted. [emoji16]I don’t think anybody was.0 -
Dunipace only had 7 of their first team squad in their 21 man matchday squad and of those only the goalkeeper was on the park the last half hour of the game.Let's be serious Dunipace are poor even at that level.
I think today was more to do with opening the new pitch.
Good on them.
It was an exhibition team filled with Under 20's, club legends long since retired, club coaches from various levels pulling the boots on and a few guys in to help out. It was definitely all about opening the park and Falkirk were great sending an XI to do that.
I would read absolutely nothing into the scoreline. [emoji6]2 -
He scored in the Lowland League for Cumbernauld Colts, away to Vale of Leithen in season 2016/17, to make it 3-3 in the 92nd minute. Good to see he's got another, good player and a good lad, but defo not his first. [emoji106]I asked hia dad and this is his first senior goal1 -
No need to apologise. [emoji846]Big congrats to all involved, spoke with a few guys from Duni at Peebles and rightly proud of their efforts. Best of luck guys, apologies for nicking the tie on Saturday.
You took your chances when they came and thus deserved to go through. Sometimes that's just fitba. All the best for the next round. [emoji106]1 -
Yes. Newer technology means smaller, individually controllable banks do the job as well as older, bigger single unit technology. The lux output comfortably meets entry level license requirements. [emoji106]I notice there are 8 smaller floodlights instead of the 4 bigger ones in the mockups on page 1 - do the ones installed meet Bronze/Entry licensing requirements?3 -
Yep, it's really coming together now! What was pie in the sky to many a decade ago, through lots of hard work by those at the club is less than a week now from hosting it's first game. Can't wait.
Covered terrace/seating is being planned just now, as well as club rooms and cafe. Hoping it won't take too long, funding permitting, to get then added after this phase is complete.
You'll be welcome any time. [emoji106]
Last I heard over 35's was looking to be Friday nights, which suits me. I need to get on the treadmill before it starts (January/February time I think, but would need to check!)

That will come, old terracing on far side was knocked down and the land graded up to get rid of the spoil. This is only the first phase, there's more to come all around, including covered terrace (hopefully before end of the season). Most important was the park and surrounds for now, with the new portakabins also providing toilets does matchdays.Looks a bit Benburby - no cover or terracing on the other three sides?
Park is bigger than Benburb as well, in terms of dimensions. [emoji106]4 -
Westfield is getting there. Latest photo from late last week, contractors expecting to be complete in the next week or so.Following tonight's draw Dunipace have announced their ground will reopen 1 week earlier than was planned, the curtainraiser being their Alex Jack Cup QF v Broxburn Athletic on Saturday 22nd September.
According to their Development Association FB page Newtown Park in Bo'ness will shut from April 1st, with work continuing till late August and reopening early September 2019.

Not sure good get that passed as it disadvantages already existing members. All of LL and HL go into R1 at present, bar the top 2 who go into round 2 along with L2 clubs.
You'd be bringing in half the LL and HL a round early, plus bringing the top 2 in a round early (meaning no benefit there for finishing top 2 that currently exists) plus the whole of L2 a round early, L1 2 rounds early.
That's a lot of change for teams higher up the pecking order to benefit teams just joining.
I'd pin my money on an expanded preliminary setup than anything changing for R1 proper.0 -

Big nets at Carmuirs. [emoji16]Yards?Had he macheted his way through the net in the build-up [emoji14]?
FWIW, I thought it looked over as well, but a deserved lucky break for the home side for the "shenanigans" on the day. [emoji846]
And probably cancelled out by the goal chalked off at the other end before it TBF.

I dunno drs, im sure everyone in conference B would be happy to swap them for last season's EoS runner up. [emoji846]The season has started they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the EOS this season.
Whatever happens, hope they survive. Whatever the problems on and off the field, it's always a nice place to go and the people who run the club couldn't be any more welcoming the times I've been there. Not nice seeing them struggling.2 -
Yep. [emoji106]I hope if our park can't cope in the winter dispite the work whether the pace would help with use of their plastic pitch to avoid a pile up1
Junior football, what is the future?

I can't for the life of me see any reason why any of the clubs would "move back". The EoS has been a far better setup for everyone involved and promises to continue to be going forward.
If, for speculation sake, Sauchie have applied, I'd also doubt it was anything to do with on park form in the EoS. They lost their manager before the move to EoS for non football reasons, he was going either way, lost a lot of their key players (Morgan and Syme most notably) who were going anyway and in all likelihood they would have struggled in the East Juniors this season anyway had they stayed.
It was always going to be a transition season for them regardless of EoS and in many ways, given the volume of player change, I actually think the new manager has done pretty well in the toughest of the 3 conferences by some margin, getting some good results.
