Karpaty Lviv Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Celtic throwing away a 2-0 lead and Rangers scraping past Berwick in crowds totalling just over 600. That’s what we need more of to take Scottish football to the next level. Edited August 6, 2019 by Karpaty Lviv 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no evidence I can find of over age players in the first season. Second season there definitely overage players. Aye I know he was just a young boy. As you say I don't think they were allowed over agers in the 1st season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what we need more of to take Scottish football to the next level. These are their all-time crowds in the tournament. Livingston v Celtic 'B' was Livi's first-team on a Saturday:1,214 Livingston v Celtic 'B' (16-17) 636 Rangers 'B' v Falkirk (18-19) 493 Rangers 'B' v Stirling Uni (16-17) 449 Cowdenbeath v Celtic 'B' (16-17) 389 Dumbarton v Rangers 'B' (17-18) 324 Rangers 'B' v Stenhousemuir (16-17) 321 Queen's Park v Celtic 'B' (19-20) 303 Berwick v Rangers 'B (19-20) 278 Annan v Celtic 'B' (17-18) 266 Annan v Celtic 'B' (18-19) 216 Celtic 'B' v Annan (16-17) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) I remain intrinsically opposed to colts in the league pyramid but, with no reserve team and previously with games being played in the afternoon, it affords me an opportunity to get a look at our younger players and, as such, I was one the 175 (which seems conservative to me) at McDiarmid this evening. Much closer game than scoreline suggests. Saints had managed to handle the introduction of Megginson and Scott after an hour but the withdrawal of overager Liam Gordon after 75 mins saw the roof cave in and the visitors chalked up three late goals to progress. Saints had hit the bar and squandered a one-on-one with the best chances of the second half. In fairness, Cove dominated much of the first half after losing a first minute opener and should have gone in ahead. I'm hopeful that Munro and Hamilton can have productive seasons in League Two and hopefully Ballantyne and Struthers can follow them out after successful spells at BSC Glasgow last season. A free Caramel Wafer on entry was a definite bonus as well. Edited August 6, 2019 by Radford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't Tunnock's invested even more into the cup? Wasn't the CC dying on its arse at one time a few years back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Looks like an attendance for Livingston 'B' v Formartine isn't going to appear. According to the sports reporter of the West Lothian Courier it was "around 100" and "no official attendance given be surprised if it was as many as 150". Tomorrow night R1 concludes with Hamilton 'B' v BSCG and Motherwell 'B' v Spartans (at Airdrie). R2 draw:Hearts 'B' v Cowdenbeath Ross County 'B' v Raith Brora v Cove Peterhead v Formartine East Fife v Stirling Brechin v Elgin Montrose v Forfar Clyde v Motherwell 'B'/Spartans Annan v Kelty Hamilton 'B'/BSCG v Airdrie Dumbarton v St Mirren 'B' Stenhousemuir v Edinburgh City Falkirk v Celtic 'B' Stranraer v Rangers 'B' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 That’s this season. When Europa 2 starts the Europa League will only have entrants from nations in the top 15 of the co-efficient table regardless how well an individual team performs. At the moment Scotland is well short of the mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I saw Eros Grezda was playing for the Rangers Colts thought I’d read last week he’d been sold! Personally I don’t mind the colts teams in that he competition. I’d rather them and top junior teams in it instead of English, Welsh and Irish -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I wouldn't go to watch Queens if they were away to a Colts team but I probably would at home. It's very well having a go at people who do but the club will have the same overheads as a normal game. Sadly, by not attending, the biggest harm will be to your own club IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very well having a go at people who do but the club will have the same overheads as a normal game. Sadly, by not attending, the biggest harm will be to your own club IMO. You will cause far more damage to your club by endorsing the competition, allowing the organisers to present it as a "success" and using the larger than expected attendance to justify B teams in the league. Which is, and has always been, their goal. If you're worried about Queens losing money when they play a B team then you really don't want it happening half a dozen times a season in the league. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
