Fair point well made. Still dosent take away from the point that the worst team over a season should be straight down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are hurting tonight and you are a decent poster. So I'll leave you in peace. Have a post to do myself about the rampaging hordes at Islecroft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely with the wads of cash, huge squad and old firm da's cheering on you should be able to sweap away the worst team in the SPFL? Oh well, just get Mick K£nn£dy to chuck more at it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Rage Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Not sure you can really call it a closed shop when 5/42 SPFL clubs have made it up via the playoffs. It's tricky, but it's not like a tiny minority make it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT was a closed shop! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To B or not B Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I wonder if this will alter the way some potential challengers in the LL look at budgets next season. I’ve no doubt that EK will reload and go again, so is it worth other teams trying to compete with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oystercatcher Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I reckon Tranent will be right up for next season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Rage Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Tranent had a bit of board shuffling earlier in the season, will be interesting to see if that affects their transfer business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hossy87 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 It probably shows the current difference between SFL2 and LL. EK is full of players who's used to be able to do a job or aren't good enough. Balde is either a terrible striker or had a coupon on him not scoring today. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauzen Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 It's been spoken about on here for ages but EK have a pretty dodgy defence.. if MK is still manager for next season then he's going to have to get that sorted. If one or two other ambitious LL sides fancied having a crack at winning the league then this still might be the time to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are bad enough to finish at the bottom of your league then you should go down. It’s all about opinions - if you can’t beat the bottom league in the team above you why should you take their place is an equally valid view 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no doubt that EK will reload and go again, so is it worth other teams trying to compete with them. Clubs are going to try and put their best teams out regardless. Bo'ness Athletic were runaway leaders in the EoS 2nd Division. Ended up clinching the title by a single point. The year Kelty were meant to waltz the EoS after joining, LTHV kept pace with them all the way and it came down to 2 points. EK were beatable this season. They'll be beatable next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekok Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Simply one factor over both legs. Missed chances, some today beyond belief. Congratulations to Stranraer, hung in both games when looked goosed. Sometimes that what makes the difference. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no relegation and then the SPFL effectively gave a concession by agreeing to a play off. The situation elsewhere in the SPFL has no direct relevance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
