If there is it will surely be one under some form of penalty for not playing these games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Presumably Banks o' Dee will get automatically promoted. Or will they have to apply after Fort get expelled? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 They only had 12 players against Rothes on Wednesday I believe. They may not be able to field a team tomorrow and the HL have told them to do one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 An appropriately pathetic end to Fort William's Highland League stint. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other keeper buggered off home to Poland. Edited April 22, 2022 by welshbairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Shaker Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) It’s been mentioned on more than one occasion that players playing in these games had to be signed ages ago, end of January I think. Not sure how many of the current squad of ringers arrived after that. The goalkeeper is indeed away home and a spare had featured in midweek, tho I’m sure the transfer cutoff is 31/3, not 01/04 so I’m not sure how he played I’m guessing player registration problems, or the squad got to game 34 of the league season, thought that was them done and they’ve all fucked off up the road.

FairWeatherFan Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Wouldn't have been a problem if they just relegated bottom automatically. With everything they've done to keep going they'll make it to the NCL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they went all in to get off the bottom of the table and didn't worry about players qualifying for the play offs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Sums up FW waiting until the day before the game to realise they don't have enough players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 A "clause" as if it was some unforseen obscure bylaw. It was the rules everyone knew about. The old phrase "a permanent embarrassment and occasional disgrace" seems apt here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hope that means they forfeit each game 3-0 or whatever and are now relegated, but it's Scottish football so best to wait for the HFL to confirm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
