Fair enough its only English non-league but there is a playoff on BT sport at 7pm on Wednesday and last week the youth cup final was on BBC ALBA.

vanderark14 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Anyone else been keeping tabs on the situation in the Highland League? Buckie Thistle looked set to be champions and play in the playoff match but Cove Rangers have complained that they have fielded an ineligible player against Formartine on Saturday. The players in question was recalled from a loan spell and was only on the bench, he did not get on the pitch. Buckie say they had permission of the league, there's a meeting on Thursday to discuss. It would be a spectacular mess if Buckie were docked points and lost the league because of this Edited April 17, 2017 by vanderark14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be tough on Buckie if they were to lose league on the strength of that, especially after such an amazing season. (seemingly from nowhere too - has someone put money into Buckie?)

I'm not sure if they have been bank rolled, I hope not as it would be a great GIRUY to the likes of Cove, Brora and Formartine. Buckie are confident they had permission of the league so I am hoping they get the go ahead. They still have to beat Strathspey on saturday at home which should be a formality since strathspey are the league whipping boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Cove recently could only draw 0-0 with them - a result that looks like costing them the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Is it fair to say it doesn't really matter as EK will skelp whoever wins it anyway or is that wide of the mark. Edited April 17, 2017 by Marky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what the outcome would be. I'm not sure whether there is a big appetite from certain clubs in the Highland league to go up to league 2.

Also I'm pretty sure there isn't a huge difference between the standard of both leagues, but I just had it in my mind for some reason that EK were a bit of a cut above this season.

I had a look at one of the highland league forums, apparently Buckie were the only or one of the only sides to vote against a pyramid system.

Me and my mate were in Buckie in 2010 the night Buckie won the Highland League for the first time in 50 odd years. What a feckin night! We were starting the Speyside Way the next morning and had intended on having a few quiet pints. The game had been in Wick so the fans hit the pub on the square at the back of 8 and chaos ensued. We got tae our beds aboot 3.30. The 23 mile walk to Craigellachie the next day was made slightly more challenging as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to when my side Fraserburgh won the league in 2002, we hadn't won it since the thirties. We won it at Cove Rangers ground too, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Buckie would want to win the hl but don't want to join the whatever its called (normal society?) I'd expect them to lose to Ek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
