Can't argue with your sentiment, this can of worms is opened constantly, but, sfl still pay's lip service to the Pyramid also, no league champion should have to go into a playoff scenario, three up and three down from LL, simples !!!! Think there's a few threads discussing this . Edited April 4 by 99blue baloons sticky key 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to cut out the diving though, he does a couple every time I watch him as well, he's better than that nonsense. Was at a game a few months back and got speaking to his old man who was also stood with Rangers ex GK Lee Robinson who was in attendance. He seems a decent player for the Lang but with relegation inevitable will they manage to keep a hold of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 See you next season. Can you all just let Johnstone Burgh be promoted. Please and thank you Be a few grounds I have never been to or not for years like St Rochs, Renfrew and Maybole... Should be interesting games v Ardrossan, Kilbirnie and Kilwinning at least next season for us in what I am sure will be a tight competitive league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

energyzone Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I'm going to go for Drumchapel, Shotts and either Blantyre, Rutherglen or Shotts for the third place. Unfortunately with Beith looking like they are winning the Premier then we won't have a fourth team promoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyro Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Were Shotts not in the same sort of position last season, the fell apart as the postponed games built up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, watched them in two games at the end of the season, they lost but both games I watched they were strong but deserved to be beaten by better teams on the day. Sure they had a backlog of fixtures at the time, unsure, maybe someone can help 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose this is the norm for a lot of clubs You would think that they'd dig out enough points from the remaining games this time, but so many games to play will be hard. I'm not underestimating it. They've done well and played some good stuff, but they are prone to the odd stinker. If they were all consistently good they probably wouldn't be at Shotts.

timeforchange Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 It would appear that if you get a good run in the cups it impacts on your league game scheduling. The problem is any postponements and a run in cups causes the fixture secretary problems as most teams will need to sit and wait to play the same team. Where the current rules don’t work is if the fixture secretary doesn’t issue a fixture and a club with a few games to catch up on and they have a team to play with maybe only 2 games left and they want to bring forward a game both teams need to agree to the fixture change and that is not helpful. We now have health and players wellbeing to respect and also remember that these are part time players who have work commitments. SPFL teams don’t have the fixture scheduling that some of Wosfl teams have. This is a very important issue that needs to be seriously addressed before god forbid there is a serious incident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit over the top, no? It's a bit of fixture congestion, not an invitation to fight to the death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
