Finally, the Junior Cup has been put on a par with the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup, the Strathclyde Demolition Cup, the South Challenge Cup and the West of Scotland League Cup. All thanks to a vote by the clubs in the WoSFL.
Only thing is, why are the last 64 and 32 of the SRCC on 14 October and 18 November not left blank in the fixture list at the start of the season, when same the stages of the Junior Cup are left blank?
1 hour ago, funky monkey said:Very far from ideal having no game this Saturday, but additionally because of cup competitions it would seem that we don't have a league game during the whole of October. This is a crazy situation.
Whilst we cannot apportion our relegation to anybody but ourselves, it was this type of fixture scheduling that led to a build up of league games towards the end of last season and must have contributed in some way to our eventual demise.
Well two of the four Saturdays are outside the WOS control (SRCC and Scottish Cup), the one in between is the WOS Cup and the first weekend has been explained above.
This time last season you'd only played 5 league games so you're already 4 ahead of that. At the end of November you'd only played 8, and 10 by the end of 2022.

The three games that could be brought forward are Blantyre v Cambuslang (10/2), Blantyre v Kilwinning (27/1) or Kilwinning v Cambuslang (2/12), presumably these would need both teams to agree.
Your league opponents may have a similar situation next month, when you make it through in the SRCC as there's league games scheduled for 18th November.

Do Beith have lights yet or would they need to play those games away?
Not seen any announcement so yes they would (i.e. Clydebank, Glenafton, Pollok away are yet to be scheduled).

With October being dominated by cup ties, would it not make sense to squeeze in one of two midweek league games under the lights before the frost comes?
Maybe, though Talbot are four games ahead of where they were this time last season and out of a cup, plus the league is on par with the EOS (but they do have a midweek round in a couple of weeks).
Would make sense to try and get some Beith games played away under lights so they don't fall behind, same with anyone else in the Scottish Cup.

Presumably this is because both users of Huntershill, West Park United and Rossvale, are at home in the Junior Cup next Saturday, so instead of moving to the Friday/Sunday Rossvale have found an alternative ground. Maybe Kirkintilloch Sports Complex only opens from October so it's just unfortunately that Rob Roy don't have another home game until 11th November.
However saying that, it appears Rob Roy did have a SRCC home game on Saturday 14th, but it was switched Hurlford as Cumbernauld United were at home as well...

League should take preference surely.?
Well that's what has happened with previous clashes for other clubs (unless the league opposition agree to move) so unless Stonehaven/SJFA move the Junior Cup game then Camelon will have to forfeit and end up not even playing a game in the competition.

Bit of a fixture clash next Saturday, with the Junior Cup game v Stonehaven scheduled on the same day as a league match - how is that being resolved?

On this subject and terrible tweets rather than journalism, it's always funny when you see people saying that Rangers should've been made to start in the Lowland League - forgetting of course that it didn't exist at the time...

Considering the Forth Rail bridge wasn't completed until 1890 and the Scottish Cup started in 1873 there must have been one team came across by the Forth ferry I would have thought. But I can't be arsed to do the research!
The first Scottish Cup game involving teams from across the Forth was St Clement's (of Dundee) v 3rd Edinburgh RV in 1876 played in Kirkcaldy, presumably they'd have got the ferry from Granton to Burntisland then onwards by train.

Midland League teams have stunk the Scottish cup out with their performances this season.
They lost to the EOS and WOS league leaders and 4th place in the Highland League, not sure what you were expecting?

Explanation leaves as many questions as it answers... Stenhousemuir's first team were away, so no other team should have priority over Stirling Uni EOS, even in the event of a double-booking?
Stenny Ams played there today https://www.caledonianleague.co.uk/match/35671555.html

Bit of a minter from Stirling Uni Reserves.As this was a cup weekend I'm assuming nobody remembered to book the Ochilview pitch after being given a league fixture for today...

St Andrews beating Auchinleck is surely a fairly big upset?
Yes but also no as at the moment it is bottom end of tier 6 versus top end of tier 7...

Didn't realise Frankfurt only had one win in the league, on matchday 1 against the now second bottom team.
Also if you're on the post, stay on the fucking post...

Thought they'd fucked it when it went to Devlin but nice cut back and finish.

Don't forget there's also a predictor competition if you don't want to gamble! I've basically done it using the scotscores rankings so let's see what happens.

Maybe worth having a look at the council website to find the agenda/minutes of these council and committee meetings, if you want to find out more about the motions/votes rather than relying on the Lib Dems.

Jumping in randomly as someone with next to no knowledge of the junior game - when were Auchinleck Talbot last relegated from the top tier of a league system?
First two seasons of the 12-team West Region Super League 20 years ago they were 10th and 8th, closest they've come to relegation.

I didn't even realise that was the Premier Division to start with as there are no recognised "big" teams (in my eyes) in it. They've all departed to the Lowland League and beyond.
I guess at some point the WOSFL Premier will be the same.
Well yeah with a lack of promotion the East Superleague winners were all kept in the league, but now all the past winners are no longer there.

Need a c***s in the jury thread as well, stoner of 30 years turns across ICU nurse cyclist on his way to work but apparently that's just careless. Just get your defence KC to say that you didn't see the cyclist and your jury of driver peers can get you off the dangerous charge.

Well cup weekends inevitably mean that there's a chance that someone will be idle if there's an odd number of teams left without a game, e.g. Kilbirnie were idle on 23/9 when you were in the Scottish Cup. There's three First Division teams idle on 14/10 as well due to the SRCC.
