The fixtures fiasco in the west clearly shows the SJFA are incapable of administrating a league/region which would be clearly finished in order to allow for integration into the senior leagues. It is perfectly clear that they have no appetite to enforce their own constitution despite it only coming into play last year with very clear expectations laid out. So given all this how can they make a legitimate claim to be the best people to administrate over the base of the pyramid? If clubs want to remain junior let them, really, let them, im sure at a regional basis in Ayrshire, Fife, Tayside and Northern they will continue as normal and these seem to be the areas with the biggest opposition, so just keep it junior there and invite applications for a wosl system. I feel the best placed to take the lead would be teams like the Buffs, Troon and Maryhill etc who have the experience of running teams at various levels, with many having youth set ups and seem to be strong sensible voices on the matter. The eosl have said they will assist in the set up of the league and that would make it a pretty seamless process. That way junior football continues as is, no clubs are forced to apply for anything they don’t want to and the other clubs can decide amongst themselves the best way forward.
