Isn't that (very) slowly happening? The lowland league now exists, there's the possibility of promotion to the Scottish League and grants available to improve infrastructure and become "senior"

I only wished that the Junior teams had the ambition to step up and join the Scottish Pyramid set up. Sadly they're happy to be stuck in their own little bubble but then you have to remember that it's all about finance for these teams. I'd say we should revamp the setup, 16 team top flight, 14 team 2nd, 3rd & 4th tier Then I'd create a new non league league below and have 18-20 teams with a Northern & Southern feeder league After that there should be just Regional Leagues based upon geographical locations like a Central League for teams based in Glasgow & Lanarkshire Then try and get a bigger & better sponsorship deal that all fans can make a benefit from, the quality of football should improve leading to a better financial package from a major broadcaster. Of course, all of this will never happen because both the SFA & SPFL along with the SJFA will not come to an agreement for change that will benefit us all. A large number of junior clubs joined the East of Scotland league last season, suggesting very many of them harbour the ambition you say is missing.

25 of them moved. It depends what you mean by choice. They weren't forced to move though I imagine they found the EoS league more attractive than the east region juniors. Its a pity the west region clubs don't have that option. They really need a break away west of Scotland league.
Can't even get a ****ing fixture list in the juniors, which is embarrassing. Plus, the guy running it is backwards and insular. I don't even see it as an issue of ambition, it's simply ignorance and resistance to change.

Best football season ever IMO for a neutral fan Every other day there's a great game of football to watch with my son We are being spoilt And so it continues! Now by my reckoning this means an extra place in Champions League next season for Premier League as the winners of the Champions League automatically qualify? But there could be more as the winners of Europa League also qualify for CL now. And potentially that could be Chelsea v Arsenal So 6th place Man Utd might get a get out of jail free card for Champions league spot next season as well? We still get three Europa League places as well on top? Premier League with potentially all four euro finalists now this season

You can only get 5 CL places max. But if you win Champions League you've earnt it if you win Europa youve earnt it if you finish top 4 youve earnt it if all 6 of those were different premier league teams (I realise they aren't) then which one would have missed out? i guess 4th in the league would no longer qualify?

If Tottenham somehow screwed up fourth place, they'd need to be defending Champions League (which isn't a league) to play in next year. Otherwise Arsenal need to win the Europa League (which isn't a league) to play in the Champions League (which isn't a league) next season. If England had side who won the Champions League (which isn't a league) and the Europa League (which isn't a league) and neither finished in the top four of the Premier League (which is a league), the fourth placed side would miss out on CL qualification.
Simple really.

8-0 defeat against Canada

Next game is Denmark on Tuesday

Biggest hope for me is that GB can do enough to stay in the top group for next years championship in Switzerland.

Well they say its a funny old game and it would be downright hilarious if Spurs were to win the UCL given their recent poor run of form in the Prem and in many cases the UCL itself. I'm a Spurs fan but they were outplayed by Ajax for 3 halves of football. They were outplayed by City in the first leg but were superb (whilst riding some luck) in the second leg.....and lets not forget they appeared down and out in the group stage! Amazing series of events. It feels like it would be an extreme anomaly for Spurs to end up winning it.
