welshbairn Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 On 31/05/2023 at 16:05, Cyclizine said: North of Scotland FA organise the North of Scotland Cup and the U21 league. They presumably still also organise the Inverness Cup, but that's not been contested for years. The North Caledonian FA organise the NCL and associated competitions. Interestingly, since you mention the arguments around senior status, the North Caledonian FA was originally called the North of Scotland Junior FA - although junior didn't refer to the SJFA, just that it was the junior association to the North of Scotland FA. It only became the North Caley FA in the 1980s (after becoming the North of Scotland 2nd XI FA post war). On 31/05/2023 at 16:17, welshbairn said: Looks like it's just the North of Scotland Cup now with no sign of the u20 league getting back up and running. It's a shame more of an effort isn't made in getting North Caley sides to take part in the North Cup, probably by starting it later, it's a bit boring as it stands. Maybe the time could be found by holding the Highland League Cup in May like the Lowland League did with theirs this season, it would be nice to have some football to watch past April. Quote Campbell added: “It can be difficult putting the fixtures together given the geographical spread of the Highland League. “The fact we have taken the Highland League Cup further forward in the season this year added a challenge to getting the fixtures completed. “But that will help the Aberdeenshire FA and the North of Scotland FA in allowing them to run their competitions later in the season. “In terms of the fixtures, it wasn’t as hard as first feared but it wasn’t straightforward.” Getting there! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 Looking ahead, including a push for Summer football from Buckie.. Concerns remain despite Conference League being kicked into the long grass. The Press and Journal has consulted Highland League figures for their thoughts on why the Conference League failed, what may happen in the future and changes that could be made to Scottish football.

welshbairn Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Brechin, Buckie, Brora and annoyingly unalliterative Formartine make the first round of the Challenge Cup this year, with some staggering consistency from the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Ross Tokely showing his class in a friendly versus a Western Isles Select team, about to compete in the Island Games in Guernsey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Video's gone private but the incident's still here at 45 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I was at the match. There was a fairly minor incident in the first half where Tokely ended up on his arse defending a corner, but there certainly wasn't enough needle in the match to cause him to lose the plot like that. He's been a fantastic signing for Nairn, but he can gtf if he's going to behave that way. I had a brief chat with one of the Nairn coaches later in the evening and they know a hefty ban is heading Tokely's way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
