The lowland league really has to relegate more all 3 champions should be goin up
That won’t be a major issue initially as any champion club would need to be licensed to get into the LL.

That’s fair enough but The Rose were still in with a chance of winning the League.
The club awarded the League still had to play away to BSC who held them to a draw in Fife, home to Cumbernauld Colts the only team to beat them in the League this season, and also had to come and visit NDP. Can’t help but think it’s an unjust decision. If The Rose were unable to win the League when play was suspended then I would not have had a problem.
C’mon The Rose
It’s not the pools panel mate.

This is the worry - it's abundantly clear some teams still clearly DON'T want to move, and things may have been better had there been some sort of rump West Region for those teams to remain in.
With 63 teams to take into consideration, it's clear that one size does not fit all, and it may have been better if the new league had been comprised of willing and enthusiastic entrants without a substratum of clubs who will have to all intents and purposes been dragged there by their heels.
As far as I can see this has been the issue with the SJFA’s stance here. I could be wrong, but the new league was set up on an application basis to allow only the teams who wanted to move the opportunity, and allow teams who wanted to stay that chance as well? However, the “all in or nothing at all” approach has sent out the wrong message in my opinion.

And? It’s far from ideal but it’s less bonkers than ‘just pretend these 28 games haven’t happened or not bother with the remaining games.
far more just for teams to win/lose because their squad is different than to have it decided off the field.
It’s unprecedented times, so we’ll agree to disagree.

As long as needed
Teams may look radically different in terms of personnel in 5 months time. What about all the players who will join new clubs, signed pre contracts etc. Teams won’t be able to finish this season on equal terms.

whatever the “big” leagues do, cannot be copied by leagues at our level? There are to many variables to consider before even thinking about finishing the season.

Yip, the post you have deleted was pretty much word for word the same as the text I received earlier buddy. Wasn’t from him though. Burnie man posted on another thread somebody else saying there is no promotion or relegation. Must say probably wishful thinking on his part.
Yeah was sent the screenshot, and realised I was duplicating what you had. Seems to have a bit of legs this one.

Is he the one claiming there will be no promotion and relegation?

Been told from a reliable source that Scottish football will stop until September. League standings will be final, there will be no closed door games due to Insurance’s not covering the risks of catching the virus from playing. The league cup will not run next season but the Scottish cup will start in September.
Yip, everyone has read Gavin Wallace on Twitter tonight.

Your right Burnie Man. Maybe missed out on the full meaning of your post. Apologies!!! Maybe it's, because I'm no posting on here 8 to 12 hours every day you like you ya sad individual
Who are you comment on any individual, or how long they spend on here? You don’t ken their circumstances or what their life is like.
Regardless, everything should be kept civil.

John Sludden was a great manager, great guy but was told that if there was a player he wanted, not to worry about the cost, just to ask our sponsor and the money would be sorted out. He never did ask for finances, though so didn't help himself.
Maybe not a bad policy when you look at what we have spent the money on this year. Admittedly some good signings, but some horrific ones as well.

I had a good feeling about Shire winning the league cup this season as well. Looks like our drought will continue.

Bonnyrigg Rose were nearing their centenary when Kelty were formed.
You’ve still never won this competition though. Move along now, nothing to see.

Who has done a better job at the shire in recent history?
The fact we made a final was special. We are not worldbeaters. We are not Brazil. Get your expectations in order pleaseSludden was a far superior manager, and if he had the resources these 2 have had, would have made a better job of it.
Whilst Andy will rightly be looked upon as a club legend, he should be nowhere near the dugout in a managerial sense.
i have loved Del both as a player and a manager (less so), but he is dragged down by Andy’s antics.

They have a hugely lower chance of getting it playing football than in their workplace, on the train or bus, in a pub or in a cinema, none of which are being shut down.
It's worth noting that the SFA have taken this decision without any expert advice and not on the advice of the governments. They've done it in response to public clamour.
Yeah, we all read Twitter bud.
I assume you'll be picketing your local pub for staying open at this time of national crisis?
As long as they have toilet rolls I will stand by them. As Tammy Wynette said “stand by your pan”

What this fails to acknowledge is the WRJFA will not run this. So who will?

This recent situation is a temporary blip, the progress made by Kelty Hearts and the excellent investments made by the management of the club will reap great rewards into the future. Deans vision and commitment is unrivalled and I’m sure he and the club will reap great rewards. Well done guys, just be patient and it will all come right.
Great to hear from you Dean.

Would that apply if all of the west Juniors are in the league? Or would some remain outside this "no fines, permits, etc " situation?
All as far as I am aware

I get the impression it's the other way about.
You are correct, certainly from what I have heard from my sources in the East.

Season will probably get extended , Euros played next year I reckon,but health and well being before anything
All sorts of complications with that, players out of contract etc. Maybe the higher levels will be able to cope, but stuff at our level is done I would have thought.

It’s not equitable at the moment? How many teams in the pyramid are vying to get into the LL compared to the HL? We now also nearly had a scenario which would have seen Brechin come to the LL. There is no equity about it, the LL will have all the best teams in it shortly.
