GordonS Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 14 hours ago, Khufu2 said: Not excuses, just a complaint about incompetent administration. According to Dundonald the problem lay on the list of suspended players, produced by the SFA. Apparently they had the player listed under his previous club, and had spelled his name incorrectly (so a ctrl+f search may not have found him). The part that lies with the EOSFL is the punishment, which seemed harsh to me. But that's not a competence issue. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish-fa/football-governance/disciplinary/player-suspensions/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be a round robin with the three sections, maybe if the SFA put forward a plan then it might attract West clubs instead of ifs and buts. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would depend how it was done - in the present set-up I would agree but will it last? Fast forward 5 years and you could easily be back to a similar set-up to what we had in the past 15 years of: All in Premiership All in Championship then altered regional leagues of: D&G, Ayrshire, Central 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The misspelled name had an extra L, so a ctrl + f would still have found his name, and there's also the player registration number to check. I'm assuming they just searched for Dundonald - if they checked at all.

Contrary to the name, the SFA South Region Challenge Cup is nothing to do with the SFA - it's organised by the LL, EOS and SOS. Probably took a few days for the team sheets to come in and then check them all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I did some playing around with google maps of the longest journey in a fully integrated WOS setup. Forth to Stranraer (assuming Stranraer's reseves would stick about) comes in at 114 miles or 2h 29 minutes. Discounting the reserve outfit Forth to Wigtown is 2h 22 minutes or 94 miles. Greenock to Wigtown comes in at 2h 31 or 107 miles. The longest in the current west junior setup I can find is is Forth to Girvan 1h 46 or 83.8 miles. This is all very amateurish math so take with a grain of salt and as a rough outline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be a regular journey for the outliers - IMO integrating the SoS sides into the current structure is flawed and I can't see it pleasing anyone. There would need to be some common sense regionalisation - even splitting the present set-up in two with a band of clubs in the middle that would float in either direction, league size and relegation depending. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was merely for demonstration purposes. A proposal similar to yours a few posts up of 2 regionwide then 'district' leagues seems to be the best option. Also would help bringing in any ammies that want to make the jump a good bit easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 There was that sweet spot when the Lowland League was created and took the best sides in the SoS (Dalbeattie and Threave), where it could of been a simple solution to have the SoS fall directly under the Ayrshire District or a blending of the two leagues. It's gotten a little messier with the West Region going region wide at all levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
