The one that can be won and the one that can't. Or in your team's case, neither can be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other “thing” is a throwback to the bad old days before the pyramid which we won’t win because we’re not in it along with the entire EOSL thankfully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nothing to boast about winning tier 6 trophies. Forfar,East Fife,Montrose etc haven’t “won” anything but have better players and play at a higher level.Do you think they’d swap to watch inferior football but winning a tinpot trophy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they would win the west prem? Bear in mind a lot of players in the west prem choose to play at this level as it suits lifestyle better, some west prem teams will be paying same/better wages than forfar, east fife etc...while west prem players also work full time during the week. Bear in mind the lowland league and many of teams in it are there through default so not the case all teams are better etc...the pyrimid system this far has been a failure. If the scottish junior cup is a tinpot cup why has it the highest prestige at this level, why has it the highest prize pot etc...? Teams like clydebank would be no where without juniors that is a fact, they don't even have a decorated record at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got on the back of the national newspapers for beating Clyde! Winning a diddy cup at tier 6 means the square root of f*** all in the grand scheme of things. SPFL2 clubs would skoosh the West Prem.You are delusional if you think otherwise.Darvel lost to bloody Gretna ffs Edited February 15 by Vanderbilt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds very much like you hated it, or at least your general seethy demeanor about an arbitrary football grade suggests that you're missing out on the stuff normal folk enjoy about football by bubbling extensively about daft politics. I'll come clean - the hopes and dreams of East Fife don't occupy my thoughts as much as yours (I reckon when the Darvel money was attracting players from that esteemed level that doesn't count in your estimation). I take it you'll be standing with your dour puss tripping you if Clydebank ever wins the league because it's "only" tier 6. Maybe get into roller skating or something else as a hobby would be my advice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s an achievement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
