cultured_left_foot Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Big win for Johnstone Burgh tonight. Looking at the remaining fixtures I think it’s a possibility that Johnstone Burgh, Shotts and Ashfield might all finish on 59 points 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cultured_left_foot Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Burgh 2 up at Thorniewood. Second goal is a worldy by Blair Rossiter, right in the top corner. Game is being filmed so I’d imagine there will be footage of it at some point 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Shotts 0 Drumchapel 3. All three were preventable from a Shotts point of view. At least it's now clarifying what needs to be done, that's the most positive I can be just now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnstonian Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 3 wins and 3 clean sheets for Burgh in 6 days, with two games away from home. That’s real promotion form but anything can happen in this division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Drumchapel are effectively promoted, only a catastrophic turnaround in goal difference over their remaining three games could change that now. Shotts v Drumchapel last night was the textbook "game of two halves". Shotts had the strong wind at their backs in the first half but couldn't capitalise, and Drumchapel took full advantage in the second half with the wind at their backs and the big pitch as Shotts noticeably but understandably tired going into the final half hour. Tomorrow's big games in the promotion and relegation issue :- Johnstone Burgh v Kilbirnie Ladeside Rutherglen Glencairn v Shotts Bon Accord St Roch's v Drumchapel United Thorniewood United v Ashfield Maybole Juniors v Cambuslang Rangers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're not doing a full time job every day either. It's a scandal tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure what options Kennie had, the fixtures had to be fitted in somewhere, with SBA having no free midweek dates since the nights became light enough to play without lights, and also two games scheduled between the original end of season date of 11th and the new end of season date of the 18th. They either had to play two midweek games this week or next to get the season finished. Unfortunately, at all levels of the game, when teams are successful in cup competitions, coupled with a few weather postponements during the season (home or away), a backlog builds up. Remember how it affected Rangers in the build-up to the 2008 UEFA Cup Final in Manchester, and the controversy there was about getting the season finished on time and the request for extensions. It's hardly a scandal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly a scandal. Seems to me that the "we're led by what the clubs want" thing was taken too far in that at the start of the season clubs wanted to protect their Saturday hospitality income rather than have midweek games scheduled. Whereas that is understandable and in principle is giving the clubs their say, the league should have been stronger and insisted on having them played early. Hopefully that will be pointed out to clubs now and fixed for next season. After all, from the outside this fixture pile up is a reflection on the league, not the clubs. I say it's a scandal because young men are being asked to work all day then leave their young families three or four times a week to play these matches. There's also fans being asked to shell out three or four admission fees per week. As a committee member of your club and the league, you're not playing or paying (monetarily anyway) so maybe you don't see it that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly a scandal. Aye, no-one to blame, cup runs contributed as much as postponed games. I don't think having lights would've helped much and God knows how much it would be for astro at Shotts. Anyway, Rutherglen will lose to Johnstone, you'd be as well looking at a few trialists on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
