passbackdave Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 One club has put in a letter of complaint/protest. I suggested it could be Glenafton and their own letter has now delayed things. Someone suggested yesterday it could have been Glencairn - although my thoughts were how can you put in a letter of complaint for a game you are not playing in (I appreciate the outcome affects them). I doubt it would be Blantyre as they started the game. Don't you just love the internet where you can speculate all day because of lack of information.We all know glenafton shouldve been awarded a 3-0 victory and the 3 points while Blantyre should face points deduction for next season as this is only way 2 stop teams doing this. This whole thing stinks of the juniors Mon the papers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bestsinceslicebread Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 As far as from what I've heard, Kennie doesn't need to move the game as there has to be a reason, Blantyre asked for postponement and Glenafton said no, Supposed to be both teams come to an agreement as far as I'm lead to believe regarding the rules, although I could be wrong. Its a professional league so yeah its not moved unless certain unavoidable circumstances happen or occur. Blantyre have known about this game for some time, they have a development squad where the youth players sign the same amateur contracts as the first team players, unless Blantyre deem a youth player to be of a high standard then they put him on a pro contract. Unless most of Blantyre's players were playing from a loan spell and those players called back then they have no excuse. From the outside it looks as if its Blantyre's fault hands down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it shouldn't be moved Blantyre asked for match to be moved Glenafton were asked and they said No If Blantyre's players were all ill, medical certificates required then the league might have moved the match or or moved the match due to Blantyre having Loaned players who have been asked to return to their parent clubs but Blantyre only had a few so there's no reason to move the match. A premier league team with a development squad have no excuses to move the match as they have over well over 30 singed players. I don't have full details but it looks like Blantyre's fault I bet there were a few Glenafton players wanting to go to Seville but decided to stay to help fight relegation Edited May 23, 2022 by Bestsinceslicebread 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenconner Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Would Blantyre or Cambuslang have had a full team if it was Celtic in those finals? lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynchmob11 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Glenafton knew exactly what they were doing by refusing to switch the game as they were talking about it in the Saturday game against Beith.The game should never have been arranged on the night of a Euro final with a team from the West of Scotland with a huge fan base from everywhere taking part.Afton would’ve beat Blantyre in any case but forcing it on to help there own ends is unsporting at the least and is totally unfair in the two other teams left in the relegation places along with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute nonsense They were told the date. they turned up on that date with a full team, and were convincingly ahead when the game got abandoned I absolutely agree there was a case for the league to re-arrange the match, but having made arrangements, paid players, arranged catering etc, all Glenafton did was agree to play on the date they were told to, which they did, nothing "unsporting" or "totally unfair" about it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynchmob11 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Easy for you to say given your team are safe from relegation.Glens knew exactly what they were doing by not agreeing to switch the game.Should’ve been taken out both teams hands and moved to the Saturday as both team’s were not playing on that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
