beachboy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Tranent F.C. v Celtic F.C. (SLFL) on 16/01/2024 Tranent F.C. v Celtic F.C. Lowland Football League Tue 16-Jan-2024 KO 19:45 This match has been postponed. Reason: Premiership break - player availability Thank you for taking note. https://www.scottishfalive.co.uk The club received notification late last night that Celtic B requested the game to be postponed. Reason: Premiership Break - player availability Just another example of why B teams should be no where near the SLFL. It's absolutely farcical that the SLFL have rolled over and had their bellies ticked and allowed the postponement. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Yep. They've made an absolute laughing stock of themselves, and all for the benefit of 2 or 3 clubs, who don't even need it. A despicable lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamH Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Surely if Premier break affects Lowland League then Hearts B should be postponed as well. Yet I believe Hearts games are on but could be wrong. Surely it has to be both on or both off ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 There were vacancies on the LL committee weren't there? No matter how poorly the league is run if the clubs cared enough these vacancies would be filled. It's a poor show even by anti B team clubs. They need to get their people on-board - yesterday. No use moaning if they don't. The league need new blood running it asap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 vacant places all the clubs can put people forward, a lot moan on social media to be popular but don't put anyone forward if you want to improve things put someone forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are replacing the whole board then I cannot see anyone wanting to be involved with the current incumbents., especially after this utterly farcical decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To B or not B Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hello is that the SLFL board? It’s Celtic here, our players are taking a break abroad can you postpone our game please. Yes of course, we will just tell the members to remember their place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you work that out unless others are willing to stand. There doesn’t seem to be a plethora of volunteers willing to put themselves forward seeing as there are vacant positions currently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a very good reason why there are current vacancies, who would want to be associated with a board who makes these types of farcical decisions. It needs cleared out from top to bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vacancies are nothing to do with what you deem to be farcical decisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a vote I wouldn’t have let Celtic B postpone the game. I don’t see what the winter break has to do with their B team player availability. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To B or not B Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Just now, Left Back said: If I had a vote I wouldn’t have let Celtic B postpone the game. I don’t see what the winter break has to do with their B team player availability. Fair comment. The problem for the board now, in my opinion, is that is that they appear to have opened themselves up to an actual member club asking for a postponement on the basis of not having enough players available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
