It's an awkward number, 38 league games is quite a bit for this level, but nobody fancies going back to 10 team leagues either. A 38 game league season is a bit ridiculous, but so are 10 team leagues. There's needs to be a realisation that a tie-up with the NRJFA is desirable long term with a "North Premier League" of perhaps 14-16 clubs taken from Midlands and North Superleague. If you took 8 from the Midlands that would leave a 12 team league, if you took 6 from the North Superleague that would leave 24 clubs split 12 + 12. So 14 team "North Premier" with a 12 team Midlands and 12 team North "Championship" feeding into it, with a further 12 teams in "North First", perhaps a flexible "border" between Midlands and North to balance out numbers when needed. That leaves plenty room in the Midlands and North to take on any new clubs. The North Premier could look like; Broughty Athletic Carnoustie Panmure Dundee Downfield Dundee North End Lochee United Kirriemuir Thistle Dundee East Craigie Tayport Culter Hermes Dyce Stoneywood-Parkvale Bridge of Don Thistle Stonehaven 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how they manage it having Montrose back next season I wasn't there (thankfully) and I haven't been online since either as I've been travelling. What others told me was that our goalkeeper had a mare. He gave away one goal and then caused a penalty which lead to their third goal (3-1 at the time) and got himself sent off in the process. To be fair, I've also been told that Scone played really well and apparently had their best game (or one of the best) of the season. These things happen and as the season was already done for us it won't make a difference in that sense. The focus has been on next season for a while now so let's just build on that.

But I fear the north teams won't be interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josuke Higashikata Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 A strong continent from Dundee supporting their club in today’s semi—final. 1-0 early in the second half and deserved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 Shame, I was hoping East Craigie would win this. For our game, a great recovery from last week by winning 0-4 away at Kirrie. This and last week show our problem this season though: consistency. That really has to get better next season if we are to have any decent chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossilYM Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 So how many times did East Craigie go through on penalties to the next round? 2,3,4...... Oh well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worried Lochee Lad Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Some good news at Lochee at last. Finally looks like the committee have managed to get a proper coaching staff. Looking forward to next season, onwards! Thanks to Grant Lawson for his stint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F_T_Y Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) Tayport 0-1 St James. Tayport had clipped the post before st james scored with a nice move in the first half. Visiting keeper had a few good saves in second half to keep tayport at bay. Port striker through on goal but tripped over his own feet. Visitors never stopped working all night and well worth the 3 points. Edited April 19, 2023 by F_T_Y 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 A few surprise results last night and this shows why the 19 team format is fine for just now. I was at Scone v Coupar Angus which was a good game. The visitors winning 2-1 despite playing over 45 minutes with 10 men. 1-1 at half time Scone started the second half very strongly and the Coupar Angus keeper kept them in the game for a long time. The visitors were hitting on the break and it was not too much of a surprise when they then took a late chance to win all 3 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Beaten Tayport 5-1, probably our best game (at least from the ones I've attended) this season. Shame we've been so inconsistent, because we can be really good, but we've had too many poor games.

RossBFaeDundee Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Excellent win at Laing Park over Panmure by Downfield, makes the midweek loss to Forfar United all the more gutting. Got to finish strong and hope for some favourable results elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
