sdr71 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 So Talbot want in to the Pyramid, but they want to do so as members of the SJFA. Which is going to be the more important to them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 The only person that ever uses the "SFA directive" line is TJ. In April 2018 when the moratorium on licensing was imposed and the SJFA were saying they were guaranteed entry at Tier 6 at a "minimum". The SFA actually came out with clarification email as they were obviously being chased for a comment by their members of all these guarantees the SJFA supposedly been given. There's no mention of a directive in it. So in short, there is no directive. Lurker proven to be spreading lies and attempting to muddy the water again. How many times is that now? I'd say I was surprised but I'm really not. Continues to be funny though [emoji1781] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When TJ gets rattled expect outbursts such as this from him and his supporters. It was the same when east clubs left for the EoS two years ago. It's an encouraging sign in a way and it helps junior clubs to better understand what's being going on. Now it will be death by a thousand cuts for the juniors - but he clearly isn't bothered about that. As for Talbot they will go with the flow when push comes to shove because they understand that their loyalty is being taken advantage of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would enjoy that. 'Best Team In Auchinleck' is all they seem to care about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continues to be funny though The SFA Directive line seems to stem from the January 2019 PWG meeting when it was clear everything was going against the SJFA. Quote TJ asked IM to alert the Scottish FA Board to the direction of travel as he felt, due to the concerns raised at this meeting, that there could be an issue with the working group being able to comply with a Board directive But when you go back to when he was giving his 'kosher' news update about the SJFA being at Tier 6 he only described the SFA Board as agreeing in principle. Which isn't a directive is it? Its more a lets try and make this happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auchinleck’s statement, if it does encourage some more teams to apply, could actually force themselves to follow. Then again..... it may not Maybe they are keeping the SOS league as a possibly entry point if the WOS gets filled up before they can respond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestsinceslicebread Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I don't really see the problem with Talbot sticking with TJ and the SJFA if that's what they want. Personally its idiotic to do so to keep with an association who have misrepresented their members. Talbot getting a few slaggings here but that doesn't help the only thing they have done wrong, which is important by the way, is in reality, its just the wording of the statement that is soo, so wrong and misleading. Again if I was a fan of a club and one of my committee men put this out I really would not want him involved in the club. There will be clubs leaving but I'm sure they would rather just go straight to a new WOS but the first in will really be consolidating their position for the chance of progression. This will make a few mind sup of some teams who want to leave and some who want to stay and some who are unsure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnie_man Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 I said on here last year, there was no "Board Directive". TAJ wrote to the Board saying his mob now wanted in, the Board said aye OK fill your boots, the PWG will try and sort it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of the committee have stated that they know its coming and are preparing for it and as one committee member stated if they get the chance to do so then they should jump at the chance but that could also mean they will but want to make sure they are covering all their bases organising their club for the move , quite rightly so. As long as they know they can thrive and grow in the level they are at then they are for it Edited February 3, 2020 by Bestsinceslicebread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensmad Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Interestingly, Talbot's statement is still not on their official club website or Twitter, it only appears on their Facebook as far as I can see.Having said that, Talbot's website also says their next match is away to Glencairn, when the match is actually at Auchinleck.

Their statement does beg the question of what happens once it becomes clear that there is no solution that the SJFA can negotiate at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
