    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.

    Evening all, I'm at the Volly tonight. Just wondering what's keeping Armadale out of the big Scottish? Is it a club decision or am I missing something?

    Same as every other club who isn't competing, they don't have an SFA licence and haven't won a competition to qualify (tier 6 league, Junior Cup, or Cup Winners Shield). They lost in the Junior Cup at the weekend so unless they meet licensing criteria by early spring they won't be in it next year either. Don't think it's a big deal though, they'll be focusing on promotion first.

    Scottish Junior Cup 2023-24

    In a WOS forum thread it was mentioned the "prize money" was being increased, details seem to have made it into the SJFA rules. As I thought, it is a guarantee, though presumably the SJFA will cover any shortfall from the lack of gate receipts. 

    Still not great for those small clubs hosting teams travelling a fair distance. For example, the game above with Nairn v Ardrossan - 60 fans (let's say 50% concessions) means £300, minus £130 for the officials. That's £170 split two ways, but Ardrossan have a £310 guarantee so Nairn lose money. Surely better to spend less on prize money and more on helping smaller clubs...

    Lowland League General Discussion

    A wee question for those in the know. Along with the one confirmed relegation spot can a club resign from the league and be 'dropped' to the appropriate league below them. I know Threave did this a few years back, obviously before we had a working pyramid. I'm thinking that if they resigned and applied to another league i.e. EOS if it's Ed Uni, would they have to join at Tier 9 again like Threave did when they joined the WOS. Just thinking out loud.

    Correction - there is no automatic relegation from the LL (there's one scenario with no relegation). I'm fairly sure that the bottom team resigning in that scenario would be treated as a club being relegated/joining from the LL and thus go into the EOS Premier Division.

    F1 really do love to suck the fun out of the occasion. To take that long to move a car is embarrassing. 

    Car was moved as fast as it could be as it needed a flatbed to lift it. However it couldn't be done within a second formation lap so it made sense to stop the start procedure rather than further eating into the race distance. Plus apparently there was an issue with the start lights.

    VAR in Scottish Football

    Which is fine, and Sundays incident falls into this category, but what if the attacking team's players are quicker/more alert and get to the cleared ball before the defending team? So, the defending team could clear the ball multiple times but if it doesn't reach one of their team mates - due to the opposition being quicker or better - any subsequent goal could be given offside?

    I think a clearance to say the halfway line is not going to be classed as the same attacking phase, as the attack would basically be starting again from the back having to beat some defenders again, or maybe pass back/sideways. At least that clearance would've reached/gone over the heads of some team mates rather than straight to an attacker in the St Mirren example.

    38 league games as well is the most of any non-league division, which doesn't add to the appeal if you're a poorer team, surely something will have to change -  whether it's a couple of teams being promoted soon, two divisions, or some sort of split after the first round of games?

    VAR in Scottish Football

    Looks to me that St Mirren goal was correctly ruled out, the attacker commits an offside offence however the attacking phase of play doesn't reset before it ends up in the net despite three Aberdeen touches.

    First clearance goes out to another attacker who keeps up the attack, cross comes in and second clearance goes straight to a St Mirren player who takes a first time shot, which then is saved but goes directly to the goalscorer. These clearances are not a clear change of possession (see tweet image with the more detailed VAR protocol that was available previously).

    The VARs have a green button where they can mark incidents or the start of the APP which I suppose helps in these situations to work out how far back they have to go.
