Or is that a mailing list for multiple people in the SJFA? The email from TJ Following the conjecture and misinformation on Social Media etc re the agreed structure of the Pyramid System going forward please find attached a statement issued by the Scottish FA Chief Executive Ian Maxwell last evening advising the definitive outcome of the recent Pyramid Working Group attended by the Scottish FA, SJFA, Highland League, Lowland League, East of Scotland League and South of Scotland League.

Burnie_man Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Burnie, If you have read the EoS minutes you know what comes after that paragraph. Mr Baxter is telling you the Juniors are in at Tier 6Baxter? Or do you mean Maxwell since the paragraph quoted above comes from Maxwell's email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Was the embargo not supposed to be in place until the entry of the juniors was negotiated? Think that's a sign that it's pretty much all been sorted out. Ultimately it's up to the SFA what happens on the pyramid rather than the PWG, so if there's consensus emerging amongst everybody other than the EoS, I doubt the EoS have a veto.Also, I doubt the opinion of the EoS and indeed that of the LL will be ignored in favour of the SJFA. Possible, but unlikely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my take on it unless the EoS have arbitrarily changed their stance. There is therefore no consensus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt the EoS were not happy about the Juniors coming in at Tier 6 but we are in and there is nothing the EoS can do about it. Try and try your hardest to find a loophole that may prove you right. By the way the EoS should have stated that in their recent minutes that Maxwell did not accurately reflect their opinion... but they didnt did they ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Burnieman I fear you are in an argument with Larry you wont win. To be fair to him he has been totally consistent on how this would pan out. The only change from him is I dont believe he wants to knock me out or ban me from Thomson park any longer On reflection I do not really have much sympathy for the Juniors who really were just sheep in joining the EOS at the last minute. That was purely self preservation at work and the gamble was possibly wrong. I tar Linlithgow, St Andrews, Dundonald and Boness as 4 who I think actually changed their minds.

Thanks Al, by the way I never said I would knock you out only gave advice not to come to Thomson Park but I think we have sorted that out a long time ago. I take no pleasure from all of this crap. There was not a lot wrong with the ERJFA SL. Junior football did need a kick up the backside but you need people to speak up and I can honestly say far too many didnt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You trust the email implicitly despite me telling you the EoS have not changed its stance towards the ERJFA entry, therefore the consensus claim is inaccurate.Time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contradictory minute .... why would they put a contradictory entry in their minutes to their member clubs ? Once again the email is fact the Juniors are in at Tier 6 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbo Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Ideally all clubs in the east would be under one roof. Could the boundary be moved to say Forfar/Arbroath? No point in going any higher and Montrose Roselea already play in the North region.Have a premier league, 1st division then 2 or 3 regionals below that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
