Gazzah Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 With most leagues null and void now what will happen to any outstanding suspensions ? As technically that season there has never beenPlayed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auld yin wae knowledge Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I reckon Suspensions/ fines will still stand In my opinion the problem with null and void is you can't move a team up,if a team in a higher Division folds / leaves [ unless you draw the team from the lower division out a hat ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheggers04 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Unless they rewrite the ayrshire constitution so the premier only has 11 teams next season, they'll need to find a fair way of filling the empty slot vacated by mossblown. You have 3 teams in the first division whom all were currently unbeaten and still had to play each other once until lockdown kicked in. Good luck sorting that out but I'm surprised nothing has been communicated to the AAFA member clubs considering they've not kicked a ball since March.

eyeswideopen15 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Maybe there is a reason for that. I'm thinking is it possibly something to do with inside info. The president of the SAFA sits on the ayrshire committee. I'm completely speculating but maybe he is waiting for some sort of news before advising ayrshire committee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thesoccerguy Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Crosshouse , Irvine and west Kilbride all to be promoted into the premier making it a 14 team Premier and rest of league to be reconstructed , 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheggers04 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Would seem like the fair option for the teams at the top of the 1st division although I think it was mentioned a couple of years back that 14 teams in the one division was too much.Would like to see it happen tho and make 3 leagues in ayrshire instead of 4 Crosshouse , Irvine and west Kilbride all to be promoted into the premier making it a 14 team Premier and rest of league to be reconstructed , 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thesoccerguy Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Fingers crossed bud , 2a n 2b a lot of nonsense having both , make the leagues a bit bigger n try n evenly split up the teams . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeswideopen15 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Would this be based on this season's top 3 in the first or last seasons 4th5th6th placed finish in the first, as it would make a difference as to who replaced then from league 2a and 2b. Crosshouse , Irvine and west Kilbride all to be promoted into the premier making it a 14 team Premier and rest of league to be reconstructed , 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amateur Footie Fan Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Im hearing that the Central Scottish are going to finish the season whenever we get back to playing? Also going to 2 Divisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if other teams have lost players but I just find it hard to see how it can be classed as the same season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redondo Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 It is my belief that the Central league have left it open as an option until there is further guidance from the governing bodies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Feet Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 We should have used this to make wholesale changes to the amateur game to try and save it. Why not just look to finish the season whenever it's safe to return? Then look to move to Summer Football next March. Bring the game in line with the Over 35s season. Make kick off times/days more flexible etc. The game is dying in its current format as it is. So why not look to make radical changes? We have nothing to lose. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redondo Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Crazy feet , I think this a valid shout. We're potentially faced with a situation of no football this year or at best nearer the end of the year. If we dont get the go ahead until say into winter time, how are u going to start a season then? I think the Central league were right not to rush into any decision until they have more info from the SAFA. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you were to do a survey of players within the amateur game (even managers etc as well) there would be an overwhelming majority for switching the season to say Mar - Nov. I get that there's the issue of the council parks being closed during the summer but councils will need to start looking at their revenue streams after this is all over and look to bring in as much money as they can. You are going to see a lot of changes to the way people work after this as well, with more split shifts/flexible working hours etc. It would need SAFA and council to buy into it but the positives far outweigh the negatives imo.

ralphpdk Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Put your proposal into the Scottish AGM to change all amateur football to mar to Nov and see what response you get. If that doesn’t work there is nothing stopping you forming a summer league as current rules permit it so go for it See how many clubs you get and you never know it may result in a load of the prominent clubs wanting to join. However I doubt it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 St Pat's have lost their 3 best players to Drumchapel WOS team. If the season does resume (unlikely) are these guys allowed to play? If the majors get finished as a minimum can these guys play in the West semi? I would assume not so doesnt seem like it would be the same season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume not so doesnt seem like it would be the same season.One of the reasons I think people need to just let last season go. It was explsined to me that if they play cup games you csnt play new players who played for another team last season snd you cant pkay players who have moved on, signed with other teams. Bit of a farce tbh. I get its a dissapointment to have reached a semi final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeswideopen15 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 So the SFA and the SJFA look like they have both disgraced themselves with hiw to compete the season. No wonder the SAFA have dodged the bullet and left it to individual associations to decide for themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better a boss that can make a decision, even when sometimes wrong, than one that cant make a decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
