    A comment on twitter said he was from Kirkcaldy, but I'd be surprised at the expenses that would incur for the SFA. Musselburgh players are livid with his performance. I wasn't there so can't comment. 

    @Ginaro is correct - category 3 from Moray & Banff. 

    Refs travelling long distances is actually really common for the Scottish Cup. On the 12th there were Edinburgh refs that were at the likes of Nairn, Banks o’Dee & Newton Stewart. I suppose it removes claims of a home bias.

    Boris Karloff's latest 'joy of 6' comments don't apply to playing sports (am I wrong ?)   so therefore the English non league game can continue with the 150-300 crowd limits, not heard any problems yet. Surely the same argument could apply to the Scottish non league with similar restrictions on crowd numbers ? Any idea when a provisional fixture list would come out.

    Don't know about the WoS, however the EoS is this Monday, with the LL & SoS around the same time. (Can’t remember for definite with them though)

    That’s not the point,why are they training in Scotland,our lower league teams are banned from training just now 

    But Hull City are not banned.

    Surely they can find somewhere in the whole of England to train though? What’s the reason to train in Edinburgh?

    They are only provisional friendlies, what's the problem with trying to be organised? They are treating adults like naughty schoolboys. 

    I have to agree. I’m a ref and there’s been a similar message put on the referee extranet. I’ve not being asked to do any games yet, but if I’m asked to do a friendly on say September 19th, I don’t see what issue is - as long as the provisional dates aren’t pushed back.

    How come grassroots football can return on 15th July but seniors can't? Surely expectation would be the other way about! 

    It’s only youth football that’s got the go-ahead so far. There’s been a bit of confusion over it but amateur football, as well as EoS, LL etc, isn’t allowed to start on the 15th.

    All this chat has me looking forward to these games starting. But anyone any thoughts on if it's

    A) realistic they'll start on time?

    B) will they be behind closed doors?

    I can’t see it being that practical behind closed doors though. For example, there’s no way you could stop anyone from watching Ormiston as the pitch is part of the public park. And there’s probably a few other First Division clubs in the same situation.

    Fairly certain the EOS stated they only let Kinnoul in at the last minute only because Eyemouth dropped out.

    That was my understanding of it as well. I was surprised to read that the EoS got “told off” by the SFA. I personally saw it as using a bit of common sense - Kinnoul applied after the deadline, so we’re declined, however a space then opened up that they could fill so they were accepted. 

    Maybe I expected too much though - common sense and the SFA don’t tend to go together 😀

    And my team was promised 34 games to try and get promotion but that’s no happening now either things change

    The new entrants were never going to come into the Premier division though. I don’t think that ever was an option.

    A wee question how did the Broughty keeper stay on the park when he lifted the ball outside his box, the ref gave the freekick but no as much as a warning i couldnt understand it

    Because a GK handball out with the penalty box isn’t automatically a sending off. It is only a red card if handling it denies an obvious goal scoring chance. 

    (I haven’t seen the game though - so am only going on your comment)

    All this whinging about the leagues,whilst fantastic news coming from Craigroyston that they will still be competing next season how many clubs are in a position to say they will be financially secure to even last next season? 

    This virus has been a total b*****d to everybody and might even destroy some clubs who were struggling as it is. 

    This is a worry that goes through the whole of Scottish fitba no just the EoS leagues. 

    If anything I believe clubs at EoS level will fair better than some further up the SPFL pyramid. For EoS clubs a big chunk of their budget is wages - and we’ve seen many clubs have players decline wages throughout this. However clubs further up the pyramid will also have additional full-time staff to pay whilst receiving no income which is not a problem down at our level.
