Its their right to do so. It's the collaborators I'm after Pffft. It's the football I'm after - and a team with Lowry and Hogarth showed a bit of artistry tonight. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) The only sensible endpoint for this is a Premiership of Celtic A, B, C, D, E and F, and "Rangers" A, B, C, D, E and F. Broadcasters and newspapers would be glistening at the tip just reading that proposal. Edited August 18, 2021 by Ranaldo Bairn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they're an established League league club, doesn't mean they're an experienced side. https://stirlingunifc.stir.ac.uk/squad/ Average age of the Uni line up the other day might have been about a year or two older at most. They're also pro-youth cast offs that couldn't make the grade and now part-timers. Rangers B are flat track bullies basically. The same sort of thing can be said of the great Gretna win. Tranfermarkt doesn't have all the players for Gretna 2008 but you'll notice most of them would amount to an u21 side with trialists thrown in. Thrash someone decent then someone might notice.

There is absolutely no doubt that the presence of Rangers & Celtic B massively devalues the Lowland League, regardless of the skills they have or their results. There is zero advantage to Scottish football in general in this plan. If these teams end up long-term in the pyramid it will devastate Scottish lower league football. That's why so many people (myself included) are so strongly against. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did the league spend it on?? Publicly nothing has been said on what would happen with the money specifically. The initial reaction to the money from those commenting on it was that "£50k split 16 ways isn't very much" etc. Which led to the George Fraser and maybe some others saying that it wasn't going to be split 16 ways. It was going to be invested in the infrastructure of the LL. With mention of how the league doesn't have someone that deals in marketing as an example. Now I don't imagine a one off fee of £50k would go very far in the marketing world, and the LL is still without a title sponsor. So no one has a clue on where the money has gone. It may well still be sitting in a bank account waiting to be spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
