Yur maw punts cooncil Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Hopefully cowden kick on now, talk of they should be automatically relegated is nonsense. They we’r a championship club a not so long ago. Proves it could happen to any club. Hopefully they have the last laugh and start to climb the leagues [emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 It would have been epic if Cove had somehow made it 3-3 only to have had to face extra-time with only 8 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 If Cove can't beat the worst team in the league set up by a mile they should be nowhere near League 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born To Run Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Whether you believe there should be automatic relegation or not, the fact is that Cove were in control with 45 minutes left. They blew it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto relegation will just make the league even weaker. No it wont. Inverness and Ross County when they were in the highland league would probably have struggled to get up the way the system is now. The point is teams with POTENTIAL should be given more of a chance to expand. Bottom teams like Cowdenbeath should be relegated. I love the pyramid idea and just wish people would stop using results like today as a reason to keep it all but a closed shop. There are quite a few teams who could grow but wont get the chance to the way it is now which is a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 If Cove can't beat the worst team in the league set up by a mile they should be nowhere near League 2. Anything can happen in these games, was effectively a cup final. Wouldn’t count on St Mirren being able to beat Partick/County in a one(or two) off game or Montrose beating Albion. Doesn’t mean we should scrap relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The fact that there exists a play-off between the champions of the two leagues below League 2 mitigates any perceived "chasm" - which, given every playoff tie since their inception has been tight, is clearly fiction anyway. Cowdenbeath will likely go on to finish 10th again next year due to a combination of an uninspiring manager, shite budget and laughable facilities - three bottom-placed finishes prior to the playoffs would have been enough for a vote to decide whether a club should retain their place in the leagues. The thought of them sneaking through a playoff tie again sickens me. The only team I can imagine challenging them for the wooden spoon next season, as things stand, is Edinburgh - unless MacPherson leaves QP or Albion Rovers have a mass exodus. The past few years have shown us that there is very, very little between the top of the feeder leagues and the bottom of league two. Get the automatic rellies in.

Partick might go down today and spanked St Mirren in the league cup earlier this season. Should St Mirren have been kept down or made to playoff against Partick for the chance to go up in case they 'make the league weaker?' Champions should be rewarded with promotion. And basing 'whether they are good enough' on two games at the end of a long season is a lot of bloody nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Let’s also not forget that Cowden being at home second leg is a huge advantage. Could have all been different if the second tie was up in Inverurie. Time for automatic relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Highland league has teams who don't even want to be promoted, show me another league setup that has a situation like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
