Oh and I think we could have beat both those two seasons last season, if it weren’t for Covid. We were in the semi of Scottish, I fancied us for the league, in the semi of the Ayrshire, and either semi or quarters of James Scott.
Not bad for a team who were finished at the beginning of last year, according to a few on here.
You know who you are.
Apology’s accepted.

Cheers for that guys your opinions mean a lot lol! 5 trophies in 5 seasons in amateur football. An undefeated league season, being the only team to beat shortlees in their trophy laden season, knocking the ayrshire cup winners out the following season whilst we were in the 3rd division, knocking one of the top contenders for the Scottish out twice in consecutive seasons......if that's clueless I will take it all day long guys lol. Thanks again
Hi Mark, what season are you talking about 17/18 when we won the Scottish and the Prem. I think you beat us 5-2 in the first game of the season. Im not sure but think they may have lost more than one that year in the league, but you could be right.
We had another trophy laden season when “you know who” won the West, the Ayrshire, The League where we won every single league game, and the Eric White, in the 2015/16 season.
As Roy Jones, once said,“Ya all must have forgot”

I think u are correct and should be changed. I'm sure clubs can put suggestions forward to change rules like this. Did u do it after Roggy was suspended 2 years ago? Also want Roggy 10 bookings?
I couldn't tell you, or I would be telling you lies, you could be right, it could have been his second group of 5 yellows, but at the end of the day that would have been a yellow card, every 5 games. That isn't bad return for a player who is as committed on the park as Roagie. I just think it is harsh and wrong for a player to miss a game like that, after giving his soul all season. I just think it is wrong in every way, and needs looked at and updated. You want the best 11 v the best 11 in these games, no excuses, both teams at full strength, and hopefully without injuries. It makes it a better spectacle for everyone involved.

How can you play Scottish / West cup with potential different players if this is what I’m reading right ?
You cannot change the rules of a competition at latter stages , there is no chance of cups getting played in timelines set within SAFA guidelines so amateur football need to do the right thing and void the competitions.
Firstly we only want to play these games, if everyone involved is safe, and the Covid19 isn't a factor, let me make it clear that peoples lives come first. I am obviously bias, but if we can get the two semis, and final played some time in June, July, it would only take a week to do it. Two semis one weekend and the final the following. Obviously with the same players that were signed this season. I think you will find that the other teams in the semis would probably agree. Anyone on here would want to play these games if it was safe and their team were involved, as they are the biggest games of the season, it is the CL of our Amateur football.
Next I am just fishing here, and looking for opinions. We have two players suspended for the semi, and one of them is now, because the rest of our season ending, suspended for both big games, He has a two match ban for 5 yellow accumulations, and a sending off for two yellows in his last match. They both could have had their bans up if there were other cup and league games to play, none of them were for violent conduct. Personally, I think they need to change this rule, to allow players who if we are honest, might only get one chance in a lifetime to play in these games. The yellow cards picked up in the Champions League, and World Cup, from the start of the group stages are wiped out after the quarter-finals were completed. This is done to give all players a clean slate going into the semi-finals. The rules were altered in order to give players the best possible chance of playing in the finals.
I would like the SAFA should adapt this, so players can play in these games, the players could serve their bans at the start of the next season, or the next game they play. We had a player who got banned from the final two years ago for just that, 5 yellows in about 50 games previous to the final that season, I really felt for the boy, it was terrible. I think they should do the same, in the Scottish, and maybe the regional cups as well, then everyone is equal from the semi, and it gives players a chance to play in these big games, with all 4 teams at full strength. It makes for better games, and If a player gets justifiably sent off in the semi, no one could complain, as they would deserve banned for the final.
I am just interested on peoples thoughts on this, and what players and managers think, no abuse please, I've got a bus pass now.

!00% all for summer football, it is a no brainer, all our biggest crowds and most other teams are when it is sunny, or warm. Where there is a will, there is a way, anything can be changed. Over the season we will all have players on holiday, working etc, same for every team, games on nice green grass parks, 2 games guaranteed on, unless there was unnatural, and unprecedented freaky weather. We could even set the full fixtures list, for the full season at the start, so we know who we get every week in advance, I would vote for it tomorrow.

Good morning, Please see below statement from the Scottish FA and SPFL Joint Response Group: The Joint Response Group can confirm the decision of the Scottish FA Board to suspend ALL domestic professional and grassroots football under the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA until further notice. The Scottish FA and SPFL will continue to liaise with governments and UEFA in relation to domestic, European and International fixtures in the coming days and more information will be communicated at the appropriate time. The Scottish FA Board made its decision in the interests of the health and safety of players, match officials, staff, supporters and the general public. Ian Maxwell, Scottish FA Chief Executive: “Since the guidance outlined by governments last night we have been engaged in extensive dialogue to clarify the position and implications of that guidance for Scottish football. “Today’s announcement is made in the interests of public health but, equally, the health and safety of players, match officials, and staff across the game. This is of paramount importance as the country enters the ‘delay’ phase of the coronavirus pandemic. “It is also why the Scottish FA is compelled to ensure that the suspension is cascaded through the non-professional and grassroots games until further notice.” All Scottish Women's Football matches are therefore suspended indefinetly. Please note this includes friendly matches. SWF will work to keep our members updated in due course. Kind Regards, SWF

I will be at the game, as most of you seem to know me. I am taking time out of this shite now, as my fingertips are numb.

Right FACT man. People are getting pissed off at his claim his match is more important than every other game played this weekend. That is wrong and is offensive to every other team playing. That's my, cfc and everyone else's issue. All your other FACTS everyone would agree with most

I dont think anyone isn't happy your game is on.
I dont think anyone thinks its out of order you asking NF to swap.
I think its really good of NF to swap.
I think coming on and actually saying your game is more important than anyone elses in Ayrshire makes you appear a bit up your own arse. You might, reasonably, think that but to come on and say it is embarrasing.I think it’s embarrassing you can’t spell embarrassing.. Ok it’s not the most important game this weekend. Can we move on.

Getting this massive fixture played? You had a pitch at greenwood which is a 10 minute drive for folk. It’s also probably a better 4G than the grange so the game would have been on regardless. I hope shortlees win but the shite you spout is ridiculous. Basically our home pitch, we play all our games there, the grange is ours.It is a massive fixture, for any ammie teams. We do play all our home games there pal. It is in Killie, we want a good crowd, so it is better if it is there. But if anyone is spouting shite on here it is you. Book the park weeks earlier, on advance you said etc. You obviously don’t anything about football or us, you completely don’t know what you are talking about.

good to have opinions that’s what the Forumn is all about but sometimes good to look at bigger picture and maybe teams should work as a collective to pressure councils into planning more facilities .
Something like the facility in Kilwinning would be an ideal solution for majority if Ayrshire teams .
See the annoying thing is. With a bit of a budget and some maintenance scott Ellis ( incorporating the ayrshire athletic arena) could be Kilmarnocks answer to Kilwinning sports club. There is space for 6 parks down there. With some investment it could be a top facility. One that makes the council money, albeit after an initial large outlay.
Agree 100%. Our committee, myself included were at a meeting with the council on Monday night to find a solution to Shortlees Ams ongoing predicament, of not having a home park. We have been in talks with the Council for some 10 years now, and are still no farther forward. Having said that, talks on Monday night with a council sports representative, were far more informative, and more positive going forward.

Bloody hell lads I wished i hadn't started this now haha. Although I tend to agree that someone who's willing to debate till the wee early hours of the morning of how important his match is is most definitely up his own arse
Shortlees are happy about the game being on, NF are happy to help and are happy ours and their game is on, Sandys are happy the game is on, Sandys fans are happy the game is on. The ref the two linesmen and the SAFA officials are happy the game is on, the Shortlees fans are happy the game is on. Spykid, Bingedrinker, and Garybhoy and a couple of others aren’t happy, or personally don’t care if the game is on. I personally I think common sense has prevailed. Thank you NF and Colin, I don’t know if he would want his full name on here, for your cooperation and help in getting this massive fixture for us played this weekend, it means a lot.

What is shortlees’s registered home pitch as a matter of interest?
I know for a FACT that burn park isn’t off all year round. They only use it when it suits.Spykid you haven’t a clue, there is no pitch in Shortlees, we used to have Scott Ellis as our home pitch until the council stopped maintaining them. We have to register a park, so we tell them Burnpark as we get early and late season games on it. Shortlees have not played at Burnpark, in the dead of winter, for many years. I will give you a year to find one fixture we have played there in the winter in the last 5 years. Oh wait...........................Listening.

Gary? David? Alberto? Julian? Or whoever the else you think I am. I reiterate this is the problem folk have cunny. That statement there. Not many will disagree with your views on the shenanigans to get a park. What you did with new farm did not bother me at all as I stated. Depending on our fixture my club may well have done the same as new farm. It's that arrogant statement there that's the issue, rather than the park scenario
Some folk have.
We have two designated linesmen from the SFA there, there will be SFA officials there, and a top rated referee, and prob the biggest crowd at any game in Ayrshire this Saturday. That is because it is classed as an important game, more important than any game in Ayrshire this weekend. It might not be for the rest of the teams, I agree, but as far as importance goes, I am sure if you asked amateur fans, this is the biggest game of the day. Is a Liverpool Champions league quarter final against Real Madrid, a more important game than an EPL league game between Southhampton and Brighton on a weds night, of course it is. Listen Julian or whatever, this game is the biggest game being played in Ayrshire this weekend. If you and some others for some unknown reason can't see that, then you all don't know much about football, and how it works. This isn't an arrogant, or a braggadocios comment at every other team in Ayrshire, that you and one or two others are trying to make out, and trying to make us look bad, it is just a simple fact. We have nothing but respect for every team in the league, including yours, and always will have. Now away and pray in your bed that we get beat on Saturday. We know you for one will be glad if we do. Envy is the only emotion that eats its own heart.

I've been working, and not policing the streets like you are gibbering. I don't have a clue who you claim I am and quite frankly could not care less. I also have never spoke to you on the phone and to my knowledge i think we have spoke perhaps twice face to face. I knew about the Facebook post as a friend took a screenshot and sent it to me but when I looked on the shortlees facebook post you had removed it.
I dont troll anyone. I just do what everyone else does on this forum and that's give my opinion. The problem with you is an opinion you dont agree with is viewed as some sort of personal attack. I will repeat I have never spoke ill or negatively about shortlees and like everyone else I cheered you on at the burnpark demolition of HT.
The point I believe you seem to be missing or glossing over is people have, and rightly so, took offence to your arrogant suggestion that because you are in the scottish quarters your game is much more important than everyone elses and should take precedent. Every single football match taking place this weekend is as important to their respective teams as your Scottish cup tie is to you and the fact you just basically mocked that with your statement will offend the vast majority, if not all, these teams
6 hours to reply Gary?
Can I just say something that might irritate a few more people. Lets just say we couldn't get a park for the next 2 weeks, despite bursting our balls to get one, which was nearly the case this week. Now because they were all booked and despite us trying our best, our Sec getting up at 6am etc, on a Monday morning. He emails the Grange leisure with 3 choices of 4G parks for the following Saturday, but other teams get the parks to play league games for the first and second weeks.
We then through no blame of our own, have to go away from home, despite getting advantage of a home draw, in a massive game to Sandy's, I really don't think that is fair. I can see the point if we had our own park, which we don't. We the committee turn Burnpark in to a playing surface in the spring, marking out an area, the local golf club cut it for us, we line it and put goals up. It is not officially a park, and we work our balls off every year to get it looking like one and playable. There is not one football park in Shortlees, not one.
It shouldn't be down to a park lottery, i think the Ayrshire Committee or the local council, should step in and make sure that if any Ayrshire team, I mean any Ayrshire team, which reaches a Scottish quarter final, that they should get precedence for a park that Saturday it is played. Or even for that matter if they cant get one available, a Junior park if possible, be found for them, as they only have two weeks to get it on, league games can be played anytime later in the season.
After all the club are representing the Ayrshire league, and the local council, if they cant get an amateur park in Ayrshire, through no fault of their own, the Ayrshire league and local council should try to help. Whether that be Shortlees or Stewarton, or any other team in Ayrshire that finds itself in our position. It is not our fault that we cant get a park in this, the wettest winter on living record, it is the local councils who have closed down local football parks, and doing no maintenance on others because of costs.
Rant over, been a long two days, goodnight everyone.

Haha it’s only a swamp when it suits you. Anyway enjoy your home game at your home park of the grange.

YOU CANT BOOK AN ASTRO BEFORE A MONDAY MORNING IN EAST AYRSHIRE.
Or register it as your home park.
anyway I’m going for my hole.21 minutes ago, Sandysafc said:Hope to see something similar come Saturday! Looking forward to it!

Cheers mate, it is the Grange we got, NF usually play the Joes, we just like playing at the Grange, as that is usually our home ground, we have no hidden agendas. It is where we play all our big games during the winter. I just can’t see the big problem. We had a park they had a park. We swapped as their park was in Killie.
NF have been brilliant about it and we can’t thank them enough. They already had our respect and it has went up even further in our estimation now.. Ayrshire teams helping each other, as they should, what’s the problem.0 -
