Yeah but they have a DD Postcode, so just be pragmatic eh. Maybe that could be an exception that the Dividing line is the Tay Bridge (with the exception of those that have a DD postcode: Newport, Tayport and Wormit) Could also put a kink in it at Luncarty as well so that Luncarty go South, Tayport go North. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayport are a Fife team. Fife is below the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to what some people are saying think there's no harm extending an initial deadline like they did in the east, if it can help speed things along to a quicker resolution of this whole mess. If it's over 20 of 63 already there's probably scope for a lot more than that when the lower division clubs start to realise what being left on the outside looking in could look like, if there is zero prospect of ever playing some of your upper division neighbours again in a competitive fixture. Lugar and Muirkirk with no Talbot, Cumnock and Glenafton, for example. My money's on Lanarkshire to be the West Lothian in all of this. Nothing from there so far and lots of struggling clubs that have seen better days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's actually doing that? Somebody puts a job advert out every year, fairly low level set of qualifications required and little experience needed. The vast majority don't apply, because they aren't even looking, because they're happy where they are, and a wide variety of other reasons. Now for those that actually apply and meet the requirments, does that mean you get handed the job? No. And the reason why they get rejected could be for a variety of reasons. You keep jumping from no definitive border and offering up examples like HWU and WW choosing and being accepted into the WoS. As if you expect madness to ensue. And i'm here going "Why would the clubs apply there?" and "Why would the league accept them?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing from there so far and lots of struggling clubs that have seen better days. The EoS had to commit to the SFA that they wouldn't extend beyond the deadline this season, so it's the 31st March. I doubt the LL/EoS will extend the deadline for the WoS otherwise the SJFA will go radge again. They'll play it by the book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it speeds things along on having a fully functioning pyramid then maybe the end justifies the means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple solution move the line at Tayport 900m to the South, move the line at Luncarty 900m to the North. I don't get why it needs to be straight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 It wouldnt be if it was the whole of scotland. Its a nice cup, would be good to keep it imo. I dont get this we all should go into junior cup and change the name if we change the name it could still be south challenge cup 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer1969 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 19 minutes ago, AsimButtHitsASix said: Probably don't need a definitive border because most folk have common sense. Girvan aren't gonna apply for the EoS league and Burntisland aren't gonna go to the WoS league. If there are a few clubs in Central Scotland like Dunipace or Faudlhouse or whoever who believe it might benefit them to play in the other league, and no one in the other league is against it, then there's no harm in going for it. There was no fixed line between the SoS and EoS or between the junior regions. This weird hypothetical idea you keep promoting that there'll suddenly be an avalanche of teams pouring from one league to another is mind boggling fantasist nonsense. Perhaps not an avalanche, but even one team applying to the WoS, who could have applied to the EoS in the last 3 years, to gain an unfair advantage is , IMHO, wholly wrong. The LL are obviously wise to this scenario anyway, as their statement mentions 'geographical integrity'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Yeah I know, but thre is no pyramid league being merged here. The way that the seeding worked in 2018-19 was 16th in LL, EoS by finish places, East Super League by finish, East Premier by finish, East South by finish, Duniapce and IHS. They could priorities a pyramid league over Juniors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
