Clyde01 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hearts 'B' and Rangers 'B' look the most likely - but they've all got good prospects if Clyde, Airdrie and Falkirk put out their 2nd-strings.Never mind a 2nd string, if we play our first choice defence there is plenty chance motherwell kids will hump us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Just a wee joke as Clyde are the gypsies at broadwood.Hilarious, we were only at Broadwood for about 20 years before the colts showed up on a fast track to tier 5 but you batter on with the ‘jokes’ cretin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re humped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re humped.Yeah they are usually decent. They had Hastie and Turnbull playing for them last season and reached the QF, papping out Sligo Rovers along the way and only losing 2-1 to eventual winners County. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they've been involved in the tournament our 'Colts' record is: 16/17 02/08/16 - Motherwell u20s 2 - 1 Edinburgh City 16/08/17 - Motherwell u20s 1 - 2 Airdrieonians 17/18 16/08/17 - Motherwell Colts 2 - 1 Queens Park 02/09/17 - Crusaders 3 - 2 Motherwell Colts 18/19 14/08/18 - East Stirlingshire 0 - 3 Motherwell u20 06/09/18 - Dundee u20 1 - 2 Motherwell u20 13/10/18 - Motherwell u20 2 - 0 Sligo Rovers 17/11/18 - Motherwell u20 1 - 2 Ross County 19/20 07/08/19 - Motherwell u21s 1 - 0 Spartans Tbh I'd be surprised if they have enough to beat Clyde this time round. The team that played against Spartans consisted of about 3 or 4 players who've only recently been promoted from the Academy there were a good few 16 year olds playing. Really it's a new cycle as the likes of Turnbull, Hastie, Maguire, Livingstone, Scott etc have either moved on or been promoted to the first team. Along with that a couple of players who were part of this age group have moved on as well; Stuart McKinstry signed for Leeds at the start of the summer and Reece McAlear signed for Norwich a couple of weeks ago. The only players who were involved in the last round with any first team experience were Jamie Semple and David Devine. The average age of that starting XI was 17: Morrison (21); Brown (17), Devine (18), Hussain (18), McDonald (16); Robertson (16), Kettings (17), Semple (18); MacIver (20), Starrs (17), Cook (17) Subs: Hemfrey (17), Muir (17), Williamson (16) Edited August 12, 2019 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed full houses across the board. Under the Irn-Bru deal the 'payment in kind' was cases of Strathearn water. I happened to be speaking to an official at a club a while ago who said they'd a mountain of them in a lock-up. Rather less glamorous than even Irn-Bru or a chocolate biscuit - and I suppose they couldn't have been distributed anyway, being a 'prohibited container' ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Next round after this coming weeks is Sept 7th weekend. Would rather they stuck to midweeks tbh AUOB at Perth if you’re free. Absolutely no Tunnocks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peternapper Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Quite a good statement from Dumbarton supporters trust saying that they fully understand supporters not wanting to endorse Colt teams inclusion in this cup by staying away, the alternative they suggest is to give the club the price of admission by some means so Dumbarton are not punished. Will be heading up to our game v Formartine tonight as am happy to have HFL/LL sides included, our season ticket includes all cup matches & so far have never had to face playing a Colt team in this but have made it known to folk at the club I would not attend a Colts tie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
