Bigbri Bairn2 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Agreed. But as with any game I still am happy when Falkirk win. I could not give a damn about this cup and view it as a mere distraction from our one and only goal which is promotion. It does however give our fringe players the chance to get to know each other in a real game situation. Colt teams are shut but let's face it we could have been a Sunderland colt team. Enough football talk. Was MC at the game? This is the issue. You are right that no one at the game would be ignored by the powers that be. Just like every other game involving colts.... But now we have gone and given them something to trumpet about. That wont be ignored. It will be added to the brief for encouraging this fucking shit idea. [mention=290]champions[/mention] you can call me an arsehole all you want. An arsehole with some fucking integrity though. An arsehole thats an actual football fan who gives a f**k about the state of football in this country. You think we should lay off cos "fellow supporters"? f**k that. Supporting the same team as me doesnt supercede the fact that I believe its norally bankrupt to show any form of support for the Old Firm trojan horse that is Colts involvement in this cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you actually think going/not going to the game is going to mean anything to Neil Doncaster and the SFA? You’re not that important I’m afraid but keep convincing yourself that your gona somehow change the future of Scottish football by not attending a first round fixture in Scotland’s smallest competition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Colts out. It’s a disgraceful, brass-necked ploy that undermines any pretence that the authorities act for the good of ALL member clubs. And a well done to Raith, Airdrieonians & Clyde tonight for papping out some of the other diddy C**ts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our attendance tonight will have no bearing on anything They won't, because so far lower league clubs have held out and held out despite the bully boys trying to pressure them and bribe them. Giving the proposal more credence by attending games will help it to snowball until such times as lower league clubs are crushed under the weight. Bear in mind that we are a lower league club. We are selling out our own. Do you want 8 or even potentially more games a season against these fucking colt teams? Do you want to be promoted after finishing third, 30 points behind a Celtic/Rangers colt team that isn't allowed into the top league? Thats the sort of shambles we are looking at. If you don't think support for it in the Challenge Cup is the precursor to more attmepts to force it into the league structure then I dont know what to tell you? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think any of the games against the colts have even broken 500, I’m seeing now we had 1700 at the game. Send a message . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't give a shite about this competition, last season's final in Inverness for Ross County showed how much they bothered. I also love the regional draws where we were in different region from Stennie as well as other mad regions. They seriously couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How di that go? You’ve lost me. They put Rangers in the bottom division because some fans made them?? If the fans had a voice we’d have a 16 team top league, tonight’s cup and the league cup wouldn’t have been messed about with and we’d have a fair playoff system. The big teams look after the big teams I’m afraid and whether the was 17 or 1700 there tonight matters not one bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the paying customer should matter but I’m not running the show and I’ve seen plenty of evidence to suggest they don’t care. Anyway I’m not a fan of the SFA, Project Brave, the playoff system, the colts involvement or the Welsh teams so I wish you and Hughsie all the best in your quest to send a message. I’m genuinely right behind you in your attempt to force change but I went to support my team tonight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
