Best of the West - WoSFL Cup 2024/25


Recommended Posts

What an absolute riddy. Honestly, the way the wosfl is run is an absolute shambles. 
 

Zero accountability as well. Absolutely nothing will happen or be learned because the beaks will cover for each other. 
 

How this could happen is beyond me. There is simply no excuse for this. Its a throwback to the very worst of the Junior days. 
 

For me, it’s a resigning matter but it’s not  like that will ever happen.

I don't remember this happening in the Juniors now you mention it (although I wouldn't be that shocked if it did). 

I'm not a fan of binning people for these sort of errors. Nobody died. You'd think that it's the sort of gaffe that causes such acute embarrassment that the protagonist learns their lesson.

The difference for me now as opposed to the old Juniors is that there is a level of good governance and professionalism that should be expected of those running any level of our national pyramid.
 

This gaffe is as bad as it gets imo.

Need a big enough deterrent so a club secretary isn't silly enough to only get verbal clearance from the SFA. It's the same in other leagues, seen it in the EOS etc, and it's a bit like when it happens in the league - there's still a 3 point deduction even if a club loses the game.


A fine if you lose or being kicked out the competition if you win is more than enough of a deterrent.

The Juniors definitely screwed up a draw in the last few years, can't remember the exact details but pretty sure it was the Junior Cup and it was widely lampooned on here at the time.

I want to say it was either the season immediately before or immediately after COVID, but happy to be corrected - I do remember version 1 of the draw us having an away day up north somewhere and version 2 ending up going somewhere down in Ayrshire - Ardrossan maybe?

It's not a tribal thing though - it's still a complete beamer to allow it to happen regardless of what competition it is and what blazer is being worn.

It happened in the big Scottish cup a few years ago when Glenafton were drawn at home to QOS then they realised I think it was Beith weren’t in draw it had to be redrawn then Glenafton were drawn away to Livingston could have been a good pay day for Glens

Someone has to fall on their sword for this. Clubs have been getting hammered for mistakes (mostly correctly) but some of the punishments have been over the top. The same should be the same for the league management committee. 

 

It is extremely unprofessional for them to not only realise they drew a side that they suspended and to not even notice until said club informs them is unacceptable. This is on the league secretary just as it would be on a club secretary and since he cannot fine himself he should probably resign.

Honestly they find any way possible to make everything a ‘clydebank bad’. 

Clydebank fans have been hell bent on slaughtering the level of football they play at and have ripped it totally to bits on here  . Why arent they ripping it to bits this time ?  Why the leniency? 🤔Be consistent lads .

Hats off to Petershill FC for noticing this error,  alright they were the original cause and have been punished or is there more to come for embarrassing this lot . 

 

Amateur hour ,   is this still being called a pyramid system,  surely changes need to be made to make everything more progressive

IIRC there were they had a team in the draw twice. There was a video posted on here of some fella taking the P and conducting his own draw for the Junior Cup with names like Canada in it. Haha.

Good on Petershill for pointing it out although I suspect the motives were not merely "in the interests of fairness" but included some GIRUY.
