Cowden Cowboy Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 1 hour ago, Sergeant Wilson said: I think his view will be shared among a lot of managers and coaches. The only reason boards reject it is the size of the bribe hasn't outweighed what clubs might lose from other sources.

Sergeant Wilson Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Just now, Cowden Cowboy said: Not true in many cases I didn't say it was. My point is there'll be quite a few professional coaches who support the idea, especially higher up the divisions. In my experience they look at football very differently from supporters and won't have the same moral objections. Directors will be more inclined to think of the bottom line than morality as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Really can't see, in my simple mind, how the reserves etc doesn't work. Play with and against old pro's, along with similar youngsters, when they're ready, into the 1st team. The youngsters had a go in the Lge Cup and didn't set the world alight, seems that it's just the OF who don't understand.Hope the idea is dead in the water now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there are no old pros and 1st team players willing to play reserve football any more. That’s what happens when you have all those subs they then see themselves as first team players - they are certainly paid as such. In the past when there was one or two subs reserve games were played on the same day as the 1st team clash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you just being contrary for the sake of it? It's an opinion I'm expressing an opinion based on my experience of the coaches and directors I know. I didn't say all. Eta. There's a director on here who is morally opposed, good for him. Edited July 15, 2021 by Sergeant Wilson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there might be a silent majority who don't care, but I'd say the most active group of supporters are against it.

It isn’t difficult to see many supporters who are in favour -on here you pretty much have a self selecting group so it is maybe a bit groupthink. And Rangers and Celtic certainly have large fanbases many who clearly support the idea even if they only have a vague grasp of the many issues involved. The Old Firm also do have a fair number of reasonable fans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowayBlue Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Celtic just signed Bosun Lawal from Watford to play for their colts team this season. He is Irish. I thought the (supposed) point of this was to help develop players for the Scotland national team? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
