Didn’t Whitehill do a bit of feet stamping themselves to try and get a rule change when the demise of Selkirk meant the LL rules said the 15th place club would be relegated as bottom even if Berwick didn’t come down. The SFA are to blame for this whole mess but the correct out come should be Bonnyrigg promoted and Whitehill relegated. The last second floodlight rule and not giving Bonnyrigg derogation was ridiculous. If the SFA were so adamant about floodlights immediately 3 LL teams should be going down and replaced by teams with floodlights. This whole saga is no more Bonnyrigg’s doing than it is Whitehill’s Jeezo calm yer jets ,yer talking a good game but I was only getting to the fact that ww haven't gone running to the local paper (yet) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaa Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I feel for Bonnyrigg and WW, it’s not an ideal situation, but then I remember when the LL started up and none of the founder members that were ex EOS gave a shiny shite what a shite state they left it in 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 2 minutes ago, LongTimeLurker said: There's no reason why it should be 17 teams next season. The LL Board provided the waiver for EoS clubs who get licensed after March 31st up until the SFA AGM and WW finished in a position that would have led to being relegated even if Selkirk had still be around. Things are following their normal course. The LL has done the right thing, although more communication about what was happening and decisions still to be made would have helped everyone. The SFA however will come of the process with no integrity or credibility that they have acted in the best interests of either the clubs or the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had a soft spot for WW, but never the LL, from recollection it was imo hurriedly set up and gave no thought to the league they left behind in tatters. Neither club have been treat well here by the buffoons in charge, but the way BR have got these lights up, I would say they’ve had a heeds up off someone and you’re fucked mate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true bud I said that elsewhere that it was just in time for the LL agm.

Yip I've said time after time now ww deserve to go doon but put your club in ww shoes would you take it lying doon ? It's certainly gonnae be an interesting set of affairs going forward whichever way the SFA interpret it all ? The Midlothian Advertiser that’s a real heavyweight paper of football gossip and news .

I can safely assume since neither original poster took umbrage they were male. Change it to people or persons or folks if you would like. From that I assume you don't know they're male. Which was my point. "Folks" would have avoided any misunderstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 From that I assume you don't know they're male. Which was my point. "Folks" would have avoided any misunderstanding. Ffs... Really? You felt it necessary to search through these posts (I haven't seen you post here before) to pull me up for saying gents instead of folks. Dear, dear me. For the avoidance of any doubt, I meant no offence to anyone when I used the word gents instead of folks and hope that no one has been offended by me using the word gents instead of folks, particularly if one of the original posters was in fact a female poster. All views are my own.Happy now? Does that meet your posting standards? Any other helpful life hints and tips? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd! perhaps delayed due to Bonnyrigg/WW situation, or somebody got the date wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
