Nothing against Sauchie but if we were going to get an away draw for our first ever Scottish Cup tie I would have preferred someone we’d never played before.

exciting times!!

The decision hasn’t been made yet but I suspect it will be a done deal. I believe it’s the Highland clubs who don’t want to have to travel for replays. They don’t want a National non league either. Happy to just play among themselves all year.

Our game with Syngenta on 13th august has been switched to St. Andrews to allow QP to play at Ochilview.

A fairly brutal start for the Saints. Whitburn and Syngenta away in the first three weeks. Of course if we win them both it’s s as different matter.

I’m assuming that the clubs who attained their licences this summer will receive their first payout from the SFA after next year’s AGM?

Yep. Why do we need another league at tier 5? Are the SJFA expecting the EOS to feed into the Central and not the Lowland? So no relegation from the Lowland?

Cloud cuckoo land.

You’re pretty much spot on.

As far as I’m aware both the Lowland and Highland leagues have voted against a national non league cup. Without them there’s no point.

Probably the same reason they had for joining the west. They can’t be arsed travelling to play a game of football. Thought they would cover less miles playing in the West, discovered that wasn’t the case so moved back to the primarily West Lothian 3rd division where they’ll happily play for years to come.

As far as I know it wasn’t discussed at the AGM.

It’s not been announced yet. I’m not sure when the decision will be made but there will be a board meeting later this month.

On a different note I’m surprised to see Oakley part company with their management team after exceeding all expectations this season. Any word on what’s happened?

Should we be worried about this “pyramid review”? Too many “established” teams dropping out the SPFL for the bigwigs liking?

Thursday.

When is Lesser Hampden going to be ready?

I look forward to your match report after a dramatic finish.

What a sickener for Thornton as an injury time goal sends them to the 2nd division and reprieves Rosyth.

Well done Oakley. Seems like the nerves kicked in the last couple of games but I wouldn’t have had Oakley down as one of the favourites for the title so a superb achievement.

They do indeed.

Fantastic achievement, well done Tranent. It’ll be interesting to see how they get on on the LL. But I don’t suppose they’ll be worrying about that tonight.

We played at Rosyth six months ago and I was amazed to see that nothing had happened at their old ground. You wonder why whoever owns the park couldn’t let Rosyth play there until work is ready to start on the supermarket.

I won’t go into specifics but as far as I know everything is in place for our licence. As I said earlier I won’t relax until it’s officially confirmed.

The exact numbers probably won’t be announced until the EOS AGM but it will be straight up and down.
