    Wtf is happening at Kennoway though ?

    Kennoway actually looked really decent 2 weeks ago. Very young squad but at times looked like a very good team, much better than their league position suggests. Maybe just a bit naive for this level at the moment

    Scottish Cup

    I agree that Harestanes haven’t covered themselves in glory BUT... Who ‘hosts’ a Scottish Cup game (or any game) without corner flags whether it be a their home ground or moved elsewhere? Bit tinpot if you ask me

    East Juniors - 'questionable' PP

    At least they tried to get the game on. There’s a track round the back of the 3G which gets you right there. Thornton came all the way through to Fauldhouse to play a ‘home’ game with West Calder, I’m sure the ref and Linlithgow Ammys could’ve could’ve walked the few hundred yards up a muddy track to ensure the game was played

    New clubs in the East of Scotland

    This should be in the “starting from scratch” thread but at least it’ll get seen here...

    Copy-of-Pyramid.pdf


    TIER 1 - same as now. 12 teams, split after 33 games, 38 games in total. 12th automatically relegated, 11th into playoff.

    TIER 2 - as tier 1 with 1st automatically promoted and 2nd, 3rd and 4th into playoff. 12th automatically relegated with 11th into playoff.

    TIER 3 - 18 teams, 34 games. 1st automatically promoted, 2nd, 3rd and 4th into playoff. Bottom 3 automatically relegated with 15th going into playoff.

    TIER 4 - 16 teams, 30 games. 3 league winners automatically promoted with the 3 2nd placed teams going into playoff with 15th in T3. 15th and 16th automatically relegated (if top tier 5 teams are or are close to being licensed) with 14th into playoff if needed

    TIER 5 - 14 teams, 26 games. HL2, EoS Prem and WoS Prem licensed winners automatically promoted. If top 2 teams are licensed in these leagues, 2nd placed will play winners (if licensed) of Tayside (with EoS and 14th of LL East), same with WoS Prem and SoS winners for a playoff with 14th team in tier 4. 13th and 14th relegated into relevant tier 6 leagues...

    TIER 6 - 14 teams, 26 games. Promotion decided on keeping the tier 5 leagues at 14 teams but ALL league winners promoted (NCL given an option)

    TIER 7 - plenty of room for new teams and competitive games for all

    It might not look fair to start with but it would evolve pretty quickly and should remain fair as the seasons go on...

    The original Clydebank club wore navy shirts with a yellow V. Looks like that era around WW1. There is definitely a colourised photo from around that time available on the net somewhere

    Absolutely disgusted reading this, can’t get my head around it. There’s a lot of things said on a football pitch but the one thing we have is that there has never been a major racism problem in Scotland. Hopefully the authorities deal with BSC and the player appropriately and nip this in the bud

    Yeah, sort of steered clear of that when it became a lot of pre-existing gripes from the amateur forum. Least that's how it read to me.

    Yes it did get a bit silly, but that’s the route they chose unfortunately. Such a shame as it would’ve been interesting to see to watch them stick to their principles, continue to nurture the talent (and the style of football) they had at the start of the season and grow the club from there. Where as now I can’t see them lasting much longer at this level. As soon as the money walks away, they’ll end up back at square one again

    Pyramid 2020/21 needs a strong Syngenta FC and don't you forget it.

    It really doesn’t...

    What's happening with Syngenta? They lose their spot at little jersey and the Junior was apparently taken over by an amateur team. What state are they in compared to last year's ambitions.

    The thread in the Junior forum says a lot, including the replies from the club officials, they can run along back to the amateurs imo

    4. Could work if you gave a limited waver on licensing to West clubs but the SPFL want two feeders not three getting them to change anything short notice is unlikely so 2022 at the earliest.

    I’m actually coming round to this idea. Move the SoS league to tier 7 with an option for any current clubs to move straight into the West section at tier 6 (which I don’t think there will be much rush for) and have the SoS winners playoff with the lowest promotion placed tier 7 west club (if they choose) to play in the tier 6 west league

    However, it is a Chicken and Egg situation now and if the SFA mean to facilitate a Pyramid they could perhaps take a step back and try to understand that they are causing a blockage with regard to licencing and to movement up to the Highland League - but not to clubs moving to senior football in the east of Scotland.

     

    Or a 2-tier highland league???

    MATCH REPORT FROM BRIDGE OF DON'S FACEBOOK PAGES

    Bridge Of Don Thistle v Fauldhouse United match report

    A fantastic crowd turned out to see Bridge Of Don Thistle host Fauldhouse United in the Scottish Junior Cup. It was 3rd time lucky in terms in terms of getting the game played, the game started with the hosts on the front foot with Darren Holt delivering in an excellent ball from the left however nobody on the end of it in the box.

    Paul Napier then found Wozniak however the header was caught by Matthew Craig. A good ball then found it’s way to Andrew Duffy who had a wonderful lob which went over the bar.

    Ewan Herriot had a chance for the visitors which hit the sidenetting before at the other end, a Liam Burnett pass found Stewart Rennie who half volleyed wide.

    Burnett was getting into some really dangerous positions for the hosts & a solo effort from the midfelder went just wide of right hand post.

    David O’Donnell then had a volley towards goal thwarted by Rhys Fyfe with the Thistle defence having to weather the storm to a degree.

    Bridge Of Don Thistle took the lead on 41 minutes & it was a fantastic goal to match as well, the ball 30 yards from goal & up stepped Paul Napier with a free kick which he converted with perfection into the
    top left hand corner.

    A good competitive opening 45 minutes with Thistle probably doing
    enough over the piece to merit being a goal in front at the interval.

    Half time Bridge Of Don Thistle 1-0 Fauldhouse United
    2nd half

    Fauldhouse levelled on 49 minutes, a fantastic ball came in from the left by Dean Richardson which was met by Andrew Duffy who produced a fine diving header beyond Rhys Fyfes reach.

    Just 2 minutes later, Thistle were ahead with Nikolas Wozniak getting into a great position before a shot from a tight angle deflected beyond Matthew Craig into the net.

    A Liam Burnett ball found Sam Muirhead midway through the half which was offside however thwarted by Matthew Craig irrespective with Thistle continuing to be on top however having a lack of product in
    the final 3rd.

    Fauldhouse levelled with 10 minutes to go with a fantastic strike by JACK MCILVEEN finding the net which was disappointing from a Bridge Of Don point of view.

    United got a late winner on stoppage time with David O’Donnell running in on goal & finding the net beyond Rhys Fyfe. A disappointing one to take for Thistle however we wish Fauldhouse United all the best in the next round of the competition.

     

    Fixed the wee error... Sorry but we couldn’t see a thing through the darkness! Brilliant strike big man, welcome to the Hoose 👌

    Thanks to JC and the boys for making it a memorable day. Every single player played their part. What a team ❤️

    End of season EOSFL Invitation Cup

    Would there be any benefits in the EOSFL organising an End of season Invitation Cup competition for those clubs that complete their season early - say by mid April?

    1. The competition could be run on a group / knock-out basis in late April and May.
    2. Invitations could be extended to interested clubs in the WRJFA, ERJFA and SOSFL clubs to compete in the competition.
    3. This may help facilitate further integration and harmony within a growing Pyramid family.
    4. It would give WRJFA clubs like Clydebank some very interesting end of season fixtures and a much needed revenue top-up.

    Tbh, not one of your better ideas... more pressing matters to be organised before anything like this is thought about. Already to many meaningless games across all the associations causing fixture congestion so it’s a no from me
