Killiepiyo Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 It's a club statement, not my own and had no part in it's formation. Those who know me personally are aware of my thoughts on the whole debate and i'm reminded that just because you don't like what something is saying or it doesn't meet your confirmation bias, doesn't mean it is wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 The SJFA is one of the last outposts of feudalism, and that Talbot statement only goes to prove it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime ATFC will continue to work towards achieving Club Licensing in preparation for any possible future changes to the structure of our game, we can assure our fans that they will be kept informed at the earliest opportunity of developments, and that we will consult with them before any decision is made on the future of the club." So do you think this will have any influence on the LL decision on whether to push towards at WOSL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the person who made the statement up should be looked at. If I was a fan and my club was allowed to misrepresent details knowingly not true then I would want him out of office. I seriously wouldn't blame the SFA deciding to stop any junior club from entering the proper Scottish Cup, just on reading that statement alone Edited February 3, 2020 by Bestsinceslicebread spelling 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Think the club have showed their class, and refusing to be drawn into mud slinging on social media.Didn't you read the part about the LL and eos without mention of the sjfa role?Its like lurker wrote that [emoji1787] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a couple of East clubs came out with statements that never moved around the time of the moves to the EoS. Tayport in particular. Admittedly some of them were meant more as fan updates on the situation over general public announcements. And I would say the Junior identity is a lot stronger in the West. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Just in case anyone doesn't get what's happening by now what they are probably referring to was the directive from the SFA board to faciltate SJFA entry. There is no solution to be had on that. The EoS and LL are opposed, and the SFA have walked away from the PWG process.What directive?show me it please.The LL and eos have never been opposed to sjfa entry in the north or the west. Just the east and south where there are already pyramid leagues functioning pretty well.The sfa have walked away because the sjfa (mr tj) chose to be intransigent and refused to accept any other proposal than the one that guaranteed the juniors remaining out of the pyramid.You are trying hard to spin this but continue to fail miserably over, and over, and over again whilst trying to sound like you know what you are talking about.Keep going though, it has now went from frustrating to a fun read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holmparkheroes Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 There may be a few teams thinking that a WoSL without Talbot is a more level playing field than the West Premier is at the moment. Auchinleck’s statement, if it does encourage some more teams to apply, could actually force themselves to follow. Then again..... it may not 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep going though, it has now went from frustrating to a fun read. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
