Challenge Cup 'B' teams were U20s, then U20s + over-agers and now U21s + over-agers. Meanwhile: 266 Annan v Celtic 'B' So if an Premier team, let's say Hamilton with a slim chance of winning the League or Scottish Cup, were progressing in the Challenge cup under the Colts flag, is there anything now with the new structure to stop them fielding some (or all) experienced players i.e. first team and boost their chances of winning the Cup? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about Sutton United either so are they any good. Mind you we have very few BNP voters but as to Brexit it depends who you run around with. Election results would suggest Airdrie was a "Remain" area but I suspect the Clyde guy is just looking for a bit of tribalism. I have always been against the changed format, especially the Under 21s, but I would go along to see this home game. The other trips for many fans are nonsensical but that is what our football organisers usually produce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if by "winning the Cup" you mean winning the Challenge Cup, no they couldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 What kind of level are Bohemians? Are they full time? I see they're seventh in the league just noo. Had a quick look at their squad list but didn't recognise anybody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGdavieT Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Interesting tie for us which I’ll definitely either go to in person or watch on tv. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; I really like the addition of the foreign teams. Just a shame that any improvement in the image of the tournament has been more than lost by the ‘Colt 9 + 2 reserve’ teams.Colt teams gtf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said before, no issue at all with the Colts teams being in it (though unconvinced about the +2 overage rule), but I dont like the addition of non Scottish sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Fair play to Allan Johnston, the least controversial Pars manager I’ve known in my lifetime - sticking the boot into this farce of a tournament:“My only criticism of this competition is why are these teams (English, Welsh and NI) not in it from the first round, and why are these teams in it in the first place?” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a quick look at their squad list but didn't recognise anybody. Part time, All our players work, nowhere near the team we were 10 years ago. Only player of note that some might recognize on the team is Shane Supple who was First choice keeper for keane at Ipswich until he became disillusioned with English football and gave it up! Not had European football for 6 years so our fans treating this as an excuse for a piss up with the draw away to Peterhead not putting them off, should still be decent number regardless of the effort! LOI is coming into the final third of the season and with the fixtures coming up doubt Bohs will go with a full strength squad so if a betting man back Peterhead. With St Pats rejecting the offer I’d say this will prob be last year Irish teams be in it whats the prize money for winning it??? Or getting to final? Not that our teams would get to it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
