George Parr Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Have to admire the brass neck of these c***s and their whac-a-mole proposals. I’m reasonably confident this latest round of nonsense will be booted out but I’d have to assume it will inevitably pop up again, with the OF taking careful note of who votes with and against them. Sadly it feels like they’re eventually going to concoct a way of successfully crowbarring their B teams Into the league structure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon_The_Fife Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Wait a minute. If we have either half of the arse cheek Colts in the Scottish lower leagues then we will start qualifying for World Cups? Where do I sign up?Clubs at the top will always stockpile the best players with no interest of playing them, halting their progress and to make opponents weaker. There have been countless examples over the years where this has happened. Perhaps if clubs at the top level were made to actually play x amount of homegrown players then we might start to see some real quality players coming through. I’ve read the lazy argument from so called ‘experts’ looking at Spain for example, because they have B sides in their league set up it will automatically make us world beaters. Perhaps, it’s more down to having more qualified coaches, facilities etc.I’d hope that East Fife would reject any proposal for this idea to ever happen. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballboy Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 The diddy cup will have to be changed soon too. Not only with the non attendance from supporters of clubs who have colt teams and clubs playing colt teams but but also the issue with Ireland. They play summer football airdrie ended up playing against a so called reserve team as the bohemians were playing a Europa league qualifying game in the same week. Also the semi final against east fife having to be cancelled as the game was due to take place in winter. Soon fans of invited clubs from Wales and Ireland will have little interest in coming to Scotland for games. For now their is the day out value for teams drawn away but that wont last forever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game due to be played 17th November - cancelled. Game rescheduled for 3rd of February - cancelled 3 minutes before kick off with everyone in the ground/ over in Ireland. Absolute shambles but fantastic place to be for a called off game with all your fellow fans and the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 We have been invited by the DFC Media representative to let the club know our views, and I suggest everyone makes their respective clubs aware of their feelings.If the Old Firm and other Premier clubs wish to provide a more competitive environment for their younger players then there is a solution - restore the Reserve League and stop disrespecting the rest of us with your offers of beads and mirrors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forget about those bumper crowds we will have with having the OF colt teams despite the fact its been shown the attendances are actually lower. See the Stenny chairman seems to want a 14-14-18 set up with the colts teams and oh and get this a new idea where clubs can send their players out to clubs in the lower leagues for first team experience (pretty sure we have that). https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5674458/rangers-strategic-partnership-spfl-mcmenemy/ Another crucial aspect of the Gers proposal sees the idea of ‘strategic partnership’, allowing Premiership teams to form ties with clubs in the lower divisions. And McMenemy - who has called for strategic partnership in the past - believes the move could be beneficial for all parties with Premiership clubs able to see player development in first team environments, while provincial clubs will see lower wage bills from increased player loans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and what happened to clubs producing their own talent? Not much chance of young players getting a game at stenny if the teams full of Sevcos youths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Unrelated, but is it still common for fans of The Rangers to sign up here with 'My Team: Scotland' out of embarrassment? Don't remember seeing it for a while, until recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last few years it's been a complete farce. It was to allow the Betfred to go to groups.

GallowayBlue Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Am I right in saying there would need to be 15 teams in favour from League One and League Two? Just based on a quick read of a Sunday newspaper and from listening to the radio yesterday we can maybe guess the following would vote against the proposal. Annan Athletic, Queen’s Park and Elgin. Given it would put them in the bottom tier, would it be safe enough to assume Peterhead, Clyde and Forfar would vote against it? Also have a feeling Dumbarton would vote against it as I’m sure they canvassed fan opinion before and it was overwhelmingly negative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullyweehutch Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Maybe if Rangers and Celtic didn't buy all good young Scottish players and leave them on the bench all season and maybe actually played them our national team would be better off. Either loan them out or stop buying/hoarding them and ruining their careers. They both would rather buy young foreign players that are no better or worse than our own talent then moan the national team is failing. Fucking despise this idea and everything the old firm stand for. Scottish football would be better off without these bigoted c***s 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have they signed up the best players from provincial clubs only for then to never kick a ball or sit on the bench for the majority of their stay. Alan Gow was the classic example from us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've absolutely no idea how Alloa would vote; Mike Mulraney seems to try and keep schtum about the board's opinion on these things, possibily because of his own position on the SFA board. I've got a horrible feeling that, given enough incentive, he'd vote in favour of colts, however, but I might be maligning the man unfairly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
