foreverarover Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 We have talked about the development league in our own clubs thread. Raith won the east league this year. What is the criteria for this league. There are several championship clubs involved but seems to be a closed league. Why is the development league of a similar set up as the full league with promotion and relegation . It is now expected you have an u20 team but get no reward for winning or doing well in it. ??? Thoughts anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Relegation defeats the purpose of the league. Saints have done well in the past with a group of players aged 19/20 but few have progressed. This season they have a team of players at 16/17 so results aren't great but they maybe have more potential. Dundee at the bottom have had a very young team at times too, with 14-year-olds involved. Aberdeen won the league a couple of seasons ago but had Robson and Langfield playing most weeks. It shouldn't be a closed shop but equally the pressure shouldn't be on clubs to simply get results.

Thoughts anyone. It's open to Premiership clubs - indeed they have to participate, IIRC? - plus certain others who can or could apply. I think I read it's up to SPFL Board to decide on such applications. It's seems to have become that if you get relegated you stay in. Falkirk are the only 'outlier'. It's also too big. Fixtures often endup getting crammed-in. One big division playing 32 games - over 34 dates - is too much when you add the Youth Cup and all the stuff Celtic enter. I guess it's going to be altered (yet again) anyway, if 'Project Brave' goes ahead with its 16 elite clubs... or maybe 2 levels of 8 as feared... and a replacement "SPFL Trophy" league.

Shotts56 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Ross County drew 2-2 with Dundee United this evening, so by my calculations, if Accies win there two remaining games (away to Ross County and then home to Celtic), they win the league. If Accies win at Dingwall on 1st May and Celtic beat Kilmarnock the same day, the Accies v Celtic match on 4th May will be a winner-takes-all league decider.

Den Spark Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 OR, if Ross County beat Hamilton, THEY win the league. Thought they were very unlucky not to beat Dundee Utd yesterday. Came from two down and had Utd hanging on at the end. Great wee player James Wallace, only 16.Also very impressed by Davis Keillor-Dunn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Bit shite that an Alex Schalk goal is currently denying Accies a shot at going for the title on Thursday. Im absolutely aware that this is 100% sour grapes, but the guy is only playing tonight because he's banned for the first team for cheating. Playing a first team player who has played 29 times this season in a development league game, whilst not against the rules, is surely a wee bit against the spirit of the league?

Just hope we come good with a win on Thursday. I'm working so unable to go but expect a decent turnout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. But it happens, didn't D.Utd play 6 first team players v us last week? 2-2, had we won the league would have been over. We used the rule to the max in previous seasons, and were hopeless, big change this season under Kettlewell, I think only McShane, McCarey and Franks have featured, but they have hardly played in the 1st team. Dow played a couple of times while getting fit. Accies impressive last night and I fancy them to beat Celtic and win it now. Great progress this season for us though.

kingjoey Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Dundee 0 Aberdeen 2 at Links Park tonight. Scott Wright with both goals, the first being a penalty. Dundee had a couple of really young kids on, one played the full 90 minutes and the other, the last 30 minutes or so. Both looked pretty good on the ball.
