They took Talbot to two games showing how good a side they are. Yep. C'mon Cove. Which also means that it will only be about 3 or 4 years before Talbot are in SPFL Div 2 . We all can't wait !!! Assuming of course, the SFA are still issuing Club Licences at that time. from Uncle Bob PS don't forget to put your clocks forward tonight. Yawn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 In the spirit of modern politics the SFA will likely treat these as indicative votes and that's about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Intriguing to see how this will go from here. I am glad all the eos and LL stuck by the current set up and a avec sent those trying to over ride their current processes a strong message. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 36 minutes ago, Robert James said: It is to the credit of the EoSL that the new clubs, which joined the league at the beginning of this season, seem to have fully embraced the seniors. On Monday the EoSL is expected to announce how many new clubs have applied to join the league for next season. Assuming they follow their normal practice, they won't disclose the names of the applicant clubs at this stage. They never actually announced anything after March 31st last year. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/lower-leagues/substantial-number-of-teams-apply-for-eos-league-1-4717330 There was rumours over who it would be, it wasn't until Inverkeithing made their announcement that even numbers were public and that didn't happen until 7th April. So there's still a waiting game to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time it came out as a suggestion it seemed to come from the SJFA side of the negotiation. So far as the rumour was meant to be a fixed playoff with West Premiership v. East Super League and SoS v. EoS in the semi finals every year before a final was contested. Now what's being proposed is meant to be from the SFA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best guess at this point bugger all happens for 2019/20 except that Junior teams are allowed to get licensed. Then Lowland League 2 (in whatever format) hoovers up licenced clubs in 2020/21. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Lowland League need to come to the table fairly quickly with details of what it is they are thinking about, this all needs to be in the open. The other big issue I believe is the SJFA administering their own discipline, a big red line as far as the LL are concerned. The SFA claim too much work, well if they want progress they need to find resource and play fair to everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was out in the public domain from October that the LL had formed their own working group regarding setting one up. Yet it never gets brought up once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, plus you don't need to be licenced below tier 5 anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
