Vanderbilt Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 All the Juniot Cup does is cause a massive pile up of fixtures at the end of the season. The sporting integrity of the league goes out of the window with teams knowing exactly what they have to do or in be case of Clydebank sitting idle for nearly a month.Its farcical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could say the same about the South Challenge Cup or any other cup when it comes to it. Clydebank's problem is they got dumped out of the cups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieman Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 1 hour ago, glensmad said: All that is confirmed so far is that Alex McDowall was voted onto the WoSFL Board by the clubs at the General Meeting in January, proposed by Gartcairn and seconded by Troon. There was a vacancy on the Board and nobody else was in the frame, so it was a formality that he was elected. Alex then announced on his own personal Facebook page last weekend that he had been nominated by Auchinleck Talbot for election as WoSFL Chair at the upcoming end-of-season AGM, and seconded by Arthurlie. Is he required to resign his position with the SJFA? I recall a candidate to the EoS Board was disallowed due to his involvement with the SJFA. Conflict of interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it absolutely mad that office holders from a rival organisation are being invited to run for control of the west of scotland league, but here we are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a vacancy on the Board, and a Board member is proposed, seconded and unopposed by anyone, then he is elected. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I thought he quit his role with Gartcairn in order to take up the role with the SJFA? Doesn't a committee member have to be with a WoSFL club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieman Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 2 minutes ago, glensmad said: No That's wild. So the Heid Bummer of the SJFA who's purpose is to promote and expand the Junior Cup back to what it once was as well as the game itself, could potentially be Heid Bummer of the WoSFL who are part of 4-way agreement to run the South Challenge Cup, and the prime Senior league in the West of Scotland. If that's not a conflict of interest I don't know what is. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly don't have any sort of point to make and are in the huff because the wheels have come off your club's season. Absolute wee man stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sporting integrity of the league goes out of the window with teams knowing exactly what they have to do or in be case of Clydebank sitting idle for nearly a month.Its farcical. To add context to you argument, Clydebank have played the most league matches 27 along with 6 cup games, Clydebank don't compete in the Scottish Junior Cup. Beith have played 21 league games however played 14 cup matches, of which only 1 was the Scottish Junior Cup. Had they not played that game they would be on 22 league games so still 5 games in hand over the league leaders as oppose to 6. The Scottish Junior Cup has not caused Beith to have as many games in hand over Clydebank the difference is longer cup runs in other competitions. Don't know how the above scenario would be solved by the league? Do you want dedicated weekends set aside for cup games and even if teams are out in round 1 then aren't awarded a league game and the team that is already out then sit idle on "west of scotland cup round 2" weekend for example? That then would keep everyone on same league games throughout the season? Surely that is a much worse scenario? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PollokGang Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I don’t know any of these people personally but that seems to be a conflict of interest. You should be able to serve on boards of the West or the juniors but not both at the same time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got 2 people involved in both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanderbilt Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 Rules were changed to make the Junior Cup a priority competition for fixtures too. Can you see the direction of travel? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
