Hossy87 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 @Burnieman, I'm sure @AML67will agree. Whilst difficult, should we get there and have the opportunity we'd give it a bloody good go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about the LL v the WoSFL Premier Division. At the moment the LL is not a very interesting prospect to be looking forward to, and doesn't look likely to improve at a decent rate. Thanks mainly to the lack of promotion opportunities. One day it will be an attractive league, but it's not just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you didn't, I mentioned that there appears to still be a Junior mentality - with notable exceptions - in the WoS which has yet to embrace what is, afterall, the future of football at our level. I'm not convinced that the LL was ever attractive to a significant chunk of Juniormen regardless of promotion opportunities to the LL. Bonnyrigg and Kelty haven't looked back that's for sure, and I'm sure Tranent can't wait to get started. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can Cambuslang announce the signing and picture him with the manager then all of a sudden he's off elsewhere? Some absolute crazy goings on this pre season with players attitudes shining through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) And the moral is that it's best not to announce players until the registration forms are signed and processed. Personally think it's a good thing that the EoS and WoS are doing pro/rel the junior way rather than copying the LL and SPFL on that. Take the best ideas from both grades and build something better for all. Next up on doing what was best about the juniors while definitely not doing fixture lists week by week or having retention lists or reinststement fees would be a national nonleague cup.

You do realise that the EOS were promoting/relegating two clubs from 12 when it had two tiers prior to the LL being formed? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanley Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 LTL always seems to be going on about how everyone is obsessed with the senior/junior divide when it seems to be him referencing it 99% of the time. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 What's happned to Wigtown & Bladnoch? Always remember them being up at the top end of the SoS. Since Covid they've had a good shout at being the worst team in the whole pyramid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took a year out after being runners up in 16-17 and have never been the same as all the players went elsewhere (Stranraer SoS and St Cuthbert W mainly though at least 9 of them were at CReetown last season). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week ago Wigtown got pumped 13-0 by Lochar Thistle, this week they get a 1-1 draw, and I couldn't help but gawk at that differential. Were they just not taking the cup seriously and just playing the U12's last week? Or did Lochar Thistle think "well we've got this in the bag next week in the league, we'll play the reserves"? The whole thing has me like Edited August 21, 2022 by RossBFaeDundee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Pele Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I wonder if Lochmaben will blame the referee this weekend when they go to Lochar again. Nothing to do with the keeper being lobbed from 30 yards, or the other nine goals they conceded, and definitely not the fault of their own coach’s attitude. Understand that the Williamson boy is a bombscare but it’s embarrassing the way they all went on on Facebook over the weekend 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
