Remi22 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Does anyone else think it is a farce that a goalkeeper was on the teamlines for Rutherglen against Pollok on the 14th of May, and has played for Blantyre and Rutherglen against Glenafton in the ten days following that? This is really taking the loophole that @glensmad spoke about to the extremes. It is a sad state of affairs for the league and has turned it into a farce. For that reason it is surely clear that the Rutherglen Secretary should be stepping down from his post in the Management Committee, as he has zero credibility remaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have Glencairn done that is wrong here? They released a player and he went onto play for other clubs. I know of another club who played a trialist under similar circumstances who profited from it this season and there has been no big outcry then. It seems that people like you and 3points (possibly you are the same person as 3points has previous for that) are using it to settle a score. I What I will say is that if it was done in a co-ordinated way and that Glens were going to re-sign the player then that is different and there should be punishments handed out at that point as that is circumventing the deadline but at this moment it looks to me like 2 teams were struggling for a keeper and took one who was available. If you have proof of collusion then I am sure the league would be happy to accept your evidence. Kennie is right in that the SJFA had a specific rule about it but that was because a club used a similar rule to their advantage (IIRC playing the player in a playoff to stay up). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you in general, but it is highly unusual for any club to release a player that late into a season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it would depend on the situation. Ive been involved in releasing players this late in the season so they could play at another level (Know it is not the same) to get game time or to have a better chance in playing. If that was the case in this situation fine, but as I said above if the clubs colluded to do this that is another story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organisation secretaries and club secretaries should be leading the way with good morals and behaviour. What chance have me got if they don't. I can tell many stories of club officials lacking morals!! As I said earlier if there is proof that Glencairn colluded with Blantyre and Cumbernauld then my opinion would be different and if you have any proof you want to share then great! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll just got round in infinite circles howling at the moon because that’s all he does. The situation has been clearly explained, no rules are broken and a contingency for next season has been agreed NEXT… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Was reading the paper today and, it seems, there was collusion with the government to force the sale of Newcastle United to the Saudis to help with UK foreign policy. Really surprised it made the paper ahead of "Ex-Glencairn player plays for other teams." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passbackdave Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It's the exact opposite. It couldn't happen in the juniors as they have rules that would prevent it. Any player that has had his registration cancelled after 31st March cannot play Junior football for the rest of that season. But don't let that stand in the way of you having a go at the 'Juniors'.It did happen kennie and we know it. If u wanna keep up ur junior thinking then maybe u should start them back up and let us ambitions teams get on with it in the woslMon the papers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tell_me_more Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 You would need to be very gullible to think Glencairn were not trying to gain an advantage by releasing players early. That move failed so doon yous go kicking n screaming. I wonder where the keeper of many clubs will play next season? Wonder if the judgement on the Blantyre faisco will be out before DArvel's two promotion games are completed. Could draft in Sue Gray to speed things up a bit. . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
