  1. I never actually realised Linlithgow gain membership due to meeting SFA guidelines and not on merit. This is totally wrong.

    I frequently entertain junior games and throughly enjoy it. I did have a player leap over the railing and square up to me at Fauldhouse - the same day a fan assaulted the referee - but that aside I've never witnessed any trouble. I wouldn't fancy going to an Ayrshire Derby mind you.

    As I stated many juniors teams would be a great addition to the scottish game but they are too content being big fish in small ponds. Once the novelty wore off and crowds stated dwindling as they weren't winning games and trophies it would be a different story.

    Edit: I hold my hands up that I wasn't aware in the change in transfer dealings. It has been a few years since I was involved as such.

  2. How exactly do junior clubs enhance the cup? If you want grounds you might not get to every other week, the lowland/highland leagues add that. The juniors are in for the payday against the larger teams and that alone. I'd prefer it was kept to clubs who want to move up the ladder as opposed to their own wee bubble.

    This is totally spot on.

    Junior fans are also very aggressive.

  3. I tend to agree that an open ended draw would be excellent. I frequently go to Haddington Athletic games (or did) and I enjoyed some of the away games. The thought of Cowden playong Dufftown or something away would be fantastic but until they sort themselves out its a no. There's too many junior clubs run extremely corruptly. Tighten the regulations, restructure it all and if clubs have to drop down to amateur status (which many junior clubs are already) then so be it.

    Top 4 leagues. Highland 1 and 2. Lowland 1 and 2. Then regionalise it similar to what it is at the moment. Bottom tier would essentially be the bottom tier of the junior set up at the moment - with a few exceptionsz

  4. Because it's not fair on clubs that meet such criteria - at sometimes large costs. Where's the incentive to get all teams under one unbrella. That should be the main goal. Have you been to many junior grounds? It would be embarrassing to allow them in our premier cup competition. Obviously Central is a dump but we meet regular standards at a large cost to the club.

    Can Cowden enter the Scottish Junior cup though? As I've stated prior.

    Their whole suspension system is a joke as well. Players playing that are thugs. If a junior keeper is given a straight red for denying a goal scoring opportunity his only punishment is missing the remaining duration of the game. Nothing else.

    Their whole transfer policy is a mind f**k that I've never witnessed anything like it. Totally backwards organisation.

    They want to play in our competition then can join our league system but they don't want to as theres too many glorified amateur clubs.

    Anyway that's the last I'll say on it to avoid spamming up the thread and we clearly differ in views.

  5. So because they bring big crowds they should be allowed in the cup? Why not invite English teams?

    The SJFA are an entirely separate organisation who have completely different rules on transfers and suspensions - to name two. If they want to take part in the SFA's premier cup competition they should follow the rules that all other clubs have to adhere to.
