    Wasn't in the dugout tonight at a decent game between Rosyth & Nitten. Impressed by a strong looking home side but Nitten edged it with some great individual performances in a team full of lads in their late teens to early 20s! 👏👏

    I think Nitten will only get stronger as the season goes on. 
     

    Blackburns defeat to Lochore was a big surprise. I had them down as one of my favourites for promotion but they have only won two out of six. 
     

    Camelon v Dunipace should be a cracker on Saturday.

  2. Incredible indeed Hibee.

    4-2 up with a minute of normal time left against 10 men you’d think Saints would see out the time. But no they lose a poor goal from a set piece, score straight from the kick off and then lose another moments later and end up hanging on.

    Three of the goals we gave away were criminal. We can’t afford to do that in our upcoming games which are against three of the best teams in the division.

    Aye, which is why they have been almost uniformly eliminated. The real problem is with the arbitrary nature of the penalty shoot-out. When the alternative was a coin toss, PKs were an improvement. But FIFA and the worldwide football community can surely devise a superior replacement, such as extra time with the removal of some players.

    I totally agree. Penalties are an unsatisfactory way of settling a game.

    Andy Gray suggested removing players in extra time years ago. 
     

    Worth a look.

    It would seem to be (though not yet confirmed). Unlicensed clubs are required to play in the opening round and since the next round has space left for 4 clubs (52 total, with 48 licensed) then that means 3 fixtures and 1 bye for the 7 qualifiers.

    You are spot on👍

    Mental!

    What is going on with all these ineligible players? Are clubs deliberately playing these or is there some miscommunication over suspensions or player signings and availability?

    There's been so many across the EoS this season.

    What I don’t understand is why it has taken five months to work out that Craigroyston played an ineligible player. We’re almost three weeks on from the end of the League campaign and the relegation picture is changing again.
