So Edinburgh United now relegated. The amount of points deductions this season is embarrassing, particularly in the Premier.
I saw that Edinburgh United had been deducted points but didn’t realise that put them in the bottom three. There hasn’t been any announcement from the EOS about them being relegated which is strange.
I believe there will be an increased emphasis on scrutinising team lines next year as the league have said there are far too many ineligible players and mistakes being made on teamlines.

Those associated with Burntisland must be absolutely gutted,had they not had them points deducted they would've stayed up.
Which fixture were they unable to fulfil and why?

It’s going to be a cracking Division.
I would have Blackburn, Whitburn and Newtongrange as favourites to go up.
Camelon, Dunipace, Kirkcaldy and St Andrews should be in the mix.
Oakley and Arniston are the two I’m finding hard to predict.
I reckon Vale, Heriot Watt and Burntisland/Lochore will be favourites to go down.
Roll on the last weekend in July.

Congratulations to Whitburn.
Worthy champions and I suspect they will be challenging for a third straight promotion next year.

Full time:
Craigroyston 1 Thornton 0
Hibs implode big style, losing five games on the bounce to crash out of the promotion picture having looked odds on to book their spot in the first division only a few weeks ago.
Craigroyston move out of the bottom three with a blockbuster game to come at Ormiston on Saturday.

Kick on the Saints, hopefully keep the core of players and continue good form next season
Thankfully we have most of our players signed up for next season.
It’s going to be a very tough league next year but our run in the King Cup(four wins away to first division sides) shows that we should be competitive.
Roll on next season.

An absolute sickener to lose to a last minute penalty.
In truth despite being in the ascendancy for most of the second half the Saints didn’t trouble the Pace goalkeeper.
But to lose to another of these ridiculous handball decisions is hard to take. I’m having a go at the rule not the match officials but the ball drops between two players and hits our boy on the hand at point blank range. Absolutely nothing he could do about it.
Well, that’s how it appeared in real time. I’ll need to see the replay(Dunipace we’re filming it).

Ochilview had Stenhousemuir, Syngenta and Queens Park sharing albeit that was only scheduled for one season.

Newtongrange 1 St Andrews 2
A Lewis Sawers penalty in the dying minutes of extra time make it four wins away to first division opposition in this years King Cup.
Glenrothes, Rosyth, Camelon and the Star have all been dispatched and now it is Dunipace who stand between us and our first cup final as a senior side.
Wednesday at 7.30pm for what should be a cracking tie.

I’m assuming the draw for the semis must be soon given that they are due to be played in ten days time.

No surprises from the three games tonight.
Arniston keep themselves in the hunt for promotion with a win at Hawick.
Thornton are really building up a head of steam as they approach a tough stretch of fixtures.
And St Andrews can pretty much secure promotion with a win at Heriot Watt on Saturday.

As for the make up of this new conference how many Highland league teams will want to be in this league given that they voted against a national non league cup as they didn’t want the travel?

Surely any attempt to shoehorn the new 5th division would need all league clubs to vote for it? If so, I’m sure St Mirren will vote against
The plan is for the Conference League to be run as a separate entity outwith the SPFL. That way the SFA can set it up without it going to a vote of the SPFL clubs.

Whitburn and St.Andrews win again and are surely on their way to the 1st Division .
Massive clash between them in northern Fife at the end of this month .
The game has been moved to 13th May and we are now playing our King Cup QF on the 29th.
It wasn’t a good performance on Tuesday night but we’ll take the three points. Hopefully we’ll be better at Tweedmouth on Saturday.

is it definite that Beith are ineligible for the playoffs?

Sounds like rumour based on national conference happening
The new abomination(sorry conference) League is not due to come into force until the season after next so it won’t affect any promotion places this season.
I’ve not heard anything to suggest that the second placed team in the Third division won’t be promoted.

Super though not unexpected result, the way WW have been playing recently.
Just a pity the fixture made you choose between club v country playing at the same time.
Do clubs in all the leagues from the SPFL down get a say on fixture clashes on international dates?
All clubs were told they could move their games to the Friday night, Sunday or even midweek.
I was gutted as I have a season ticket for Scotland but St Andrews it was. Still I’ll be at Hampden for a scary game on Tuesday night.

It will actually be 11 as second division going to 16 next season
FWF was referring to the situation if Linlithgow replace Dalbeattie in the Lowland League.
At the moment it is three down and two up but the above scenario would see an extra team promoted from the third leaving ten teams in the bottom division.

Camelon play St Andrews this Saturday - St Andrews beat Syngenta 2-0 earlier in the season - hope he has a Plan B
Most of the guys who played for Syngenta against us in august are cup tied.
Camelons team for Saturday will feature the remaining members of their squad plus some under 20s. The youngsters weren’t needed last night as no one was cup tied in the league cup.

Rosyth 2 St Andrews 4
Saints came from two down to book a last 16 clash at Camelon a week on Saturday.
St Andrews were on top for all bar a ten minute spell in the first half and in the second forty five prevented Rosyth from having a single effort at goal.

A couple of interesting results today with Stirling Uni dropping unexpected points and Heriot Watt winning comfortably at Dalkeith.
I just wish they would resolve the Syngenta situation so we can see where we really stand.

Can we not just cut the grass, give them their own pitch back and pretend this never happened?
It’s actually heartbreaking seeing it still there not being used for anything. That plan looks like Fleet Grounds 2.0. If they are lucky they might get a Bothwellhaugh-type setup eventually which would be decent enough but looks a long way away
I can’t understand why they weren’t allowed to use the ground until Lidl were ready to build their new store.

So is this going to be another 4G/5G in a cage or is it going to look like a professional football ground?

Absolutely superb result from St Andrews today at Thornton. Five up after only 22 mins and featuring one of the fastest hat tricks in the clubs history.
Thanks to the weather this was the chance to play one of our games in hand and we have now put a bit of space between ourselves and the sides below us.
