ShahktarYerMaw Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 "As a club, the East of Scotland League doesn’t give us anything we don’t have other than a season long fixture list, a fixture list that has still been left with clubs playing twice and three times a week and the two title contenders facing each other in head to head fixtures.":unsure2: Progression through the pyramid requires SFA Licensing and to achieve entry at the base level whilst not a lot for some clubs, would entail a decent amount of financial investment that we just can’t afford. Aye right enough, meanwhile we will keep playing at a park that hasnt any cover for supporters The great thing about this is it smacks down the SJFA proposal to move all clubs into the pyramid. What is the benefit to Carnoustie? None. Why should they be moved? No reason. Would they be able to be promoted, even if they won their league? No. The pyramid should be left to clubs either licensed or on their way to being licensed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 It's all about the MONEY ££££££££££££££££££££££££££ and getting a one off pay day against an SFL team if your extremely lucky. It certainly isn't the standard of football, Punters like to see competitive football not the rugby scores that Kelty have achieved this season in the Beazer League. 13-0 and 11-1 v Eyemouth, 11-1 and 9-0 v Tweedmouth, 10-0 v Newton Stewart, 12-1 v Peebles and another seven occasions where they have won by 7 or more goals and that's not counting the fours and fives. The Kelty and LTHV league is basically down to their games against each other and whoever the winner plays from the SOSL to enter the Lowland League. nice facilities in the EOS, shame about the quality. burnieman will be on here next season telling us that Blackburn are the new Brazil, yer having a laugh If Kelty were to start at the bottom of the east juniors, they’d rack up similar score lines. Seen plenty enough of the north division to know that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth contacting the CEO directly so he can confirm either way. If he has agreed to what TJ says, surely this is important to know ASAP this week? Apparently there's no need as they will be hearing from TJ on Monday with the official word back from the (interim) CEO of the SFA. Just now, santheman said: I'm not the one calling him a liar. Certain posters are suggesting that he was less than truthful in the email. I'm not saying you were calling him a liar, i'm saying no one can call him a liar. He's simply relaying information from an anonymous source. Anyone trying to prove he's lying is going to go round in circles as it can never be proven unless the man himself admits to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity others have already held their kangaroo court just because of who he is and who he represents. The facts are that there are no actual facts, yet Tom Johnston has issued an email - and spoken to various clubs and individuals - about his "kosher" information concerning what happened during Thursdays SFA Board meeting and is treating it as fact despite not having been present nor having received any formal confirmation from the SFA. No kangaroo court is required, it speaks for itself. I'd call it highly irresponsible and this "information" should not have been circulated until such times as the SFA had communicated any discussions/decisions that they had agreed to all relevant parties. A calculated move? only he knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing people arguing in favour of that also support opening the junior cup to senior teams? Absolutely. An enhanced Junior Cup with all non-league teams involved would be excellent. If clubs meet the facilites/organisation requirements for licensing they should be licensed. Simple really. After all, the purpose of licensing is to raise standards, not to create a pyramid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popped back up last summer after they'd got their licence: The one game I have attended at Blairmount - in 2011 - had 20 people there. Small clubs have obtained their licence. That's interesting it looks like you can see from outside the ground. Part of the license is making sure you can't see in from the outside ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the license is making sure you can't see in from the outside ? I think what it relates to is if you are standing the other side of the fence you shouldn't be able to see into the ground. If there's higher ground outside the boundary of the ground that allows you to see over the fence then there's not a lot you can do to prevent that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appears to be making it up on the hoof depending on who he is trying to appease at that particular time. No real strategy, no real idea where things are going, and now pinning his hopes on an interim CEO who cannot possibly offer any assurances on things going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was the "permanent screening attached to the fence to obscure viewing" was what I was referring too. I'm pretty certain it cost ww a bit extra money and inconvenience in trying to get their license at the time... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
