I know the Pyramid bros like to make out that nobody minds 600 mile round trips for league matches but it seems like an argument for regionalization of League 2 to me. 147% 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanderbilt Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Season being extended because Darvel can’t fit in all of their games. 2 legged Junior Cup semi final really helped! What a shitshow this league is turning into. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shitshow this league is turning into. 1st, 4th, 6th, 8th, 11th, 13th, 15th from what I can see. 28th being the WoSFL Cup final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what happens when cups are prioritised over league fixtures. I know there was a complaint from some last year where midweek fixtures weren't arranged the week of cup games so that could be the focus. Going to assume that's been the case again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the two legged semi has had an impact and needs binned, it's the lack of midweek games earlier in the season that causes this. Having said that, Darvel's poor playing surface caused call offs and I also think the clubs prefer not to have midweek games as Saturday revenue is always more attractive. Reckon @Kennie needs to be stronger next season by pointing to this carry on and just get the games in. However having said all that one still feels making glib remarks about Clydebank should always be the go to posting method. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance the 2 legged semis will get binned with Mr Diddycup up for election. Talbot might win the league if they didn’t keep getting beaten by Clydebank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shitshow this league is turning into. This only goes to show that sporting integrity matters not by the fixture secretary. How can a team still involved in the title race be allowed to play two fixtures after the rest of the league is completed on the 11th of May and potentially knowing exactly what they require from the games, never mind it also could still impact the relegation outcomes depending on what Glenafton would still require to be safe. As already put to the FS if this is the only option due to lack of suitable dates to fit these games in before the 11th then the only fair option would be to push the last games for every team back in line with Darvels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh change the bloody record. Darvel have a chance to win the title. The league play offs start on 18th May. All the games are ( were ) scheduled to finish on 11th for a reason - so no club gers an advantage by knowing what they need to do and to have a Champion declared in good time for play off. The number of games Talbot and Darvel are already cramming in is regressive. This has got he haw to do with Clydebank as we'll be out race by then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is obvious is that it's not a reasonable situation and something will have to change. You say something often enough snd even I will crack.

What is obvious is that it's not a reasonable situation and something will have to change. You say something often enough snd even I will crack. The Junior Cup has had too much respect this year in particular the two legged semi but it's not the only factor. There will always be an imparity in league games played at the latter stages of any season. Chelsea are seeing that in the EPL. The argument should not be about cup competitions it should be about scheduling league matches midweek at times when the weather is good. Especially that the league is in the west of Scotland, an area hardly known for it's balmy climate. The season extension is a necessary evil but the other clubs shouldn't allow Darvel to have matches after everyone is finished. The last day fixtures must be changed en masse. Kennie will do that, you'll see. Edited April 26 by jimbaxters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
