At the time the vote happened the SFA hadn't signed off on the changes. This was then hanging over the clubs once the season started, where it was supposedly intertwined with an attempt to change the HL/LL boundary.

The Colts were the root cause of it all.

 

Yeah but weren't the other LL clubs aware of this when they voted it in? In which case - why ye annoyed? This was your choice.

If Fraser had withheld this from them... they're still shitebags for voting it in anyway but at least have a leg to stand on

The indication seems to be they didn't know. Did Fraser know, is the real question, or did the SFA spring it on him after the LL clubs has already pushed this through?

I think he was a willing idiot carrying limited information to clubs from those he wanted to impress.

He might still turn up as Assistant to the Deputy Technical Director of Youth Development and Training Cones at Murray Park.

There were more than enough good reasons to bin the vile Old Firm Colts idea, so any 'we were duped' excuse by LL clubs holds as much water as when David Murray rolled it out after selling Rangers for £1.

They voted on the Colts being told that there was no issue over the pyramid and that a runner up team could contest the SPFL2 Playoff. The have your cake and eat it scenario.

Months later it turns out that wasn't the case and the fallout would lead to two members of the LL Board quitting over the issue.

I'm inclined to side with VT on this one. I don't care if George Fraser said letting the Colts in meant every club got a lifetime supply of Bovril and training cones if there is absolutely any fall out for those clubs because of it they have themselves to blame for selling out

Probably the latter. The SFA had to explain to him that the LL couldn't null and void their season then declare a champion. How dense do you have to be not to grasp that there has to be a season in the first place before you can have a champion? Odds on the SFA board's approach this time was aye that's fine on you go George so they could get their own back for Brechin not being shoehorned in. There were going to be consequences for that not happening after all.

Aye, it's a classic case of the clubs who voted for colts either being idiots or morons.

Sold out his league to the Old Firm for a bag of non magic beans instead of opening up the trapdoor for the WOS, EOS and SOS.  Small minded self preservation at a time when the Pyramid was finally starting to happen.  Good riddance.

Do you actually know anything about the man.
He was a junior footballer then involved a football administrator for many years locally before nationwide as well as a president at local business chamber.

When put in office everyone knew the mans 'cv' it was well respected.

Yes “Put in office” the job was never advertised so how do you know he was the man for the job?

Nepotism, Cronyism take your pick.

Good to see Brendan Parkinson on the board, don't agree with him on everything but he seems to have the ability to see the bigger picture and also raise the difficult questions. Will Chris Ewing be a willing supporter of increased "ventilation"? same with the Dalbeattie guy.  Ultimately it's upto the clubs themselves to vote for it, but the board seriously discussing the issue would be a start after Tom Brown admitted it was hardly ever spoken about.

Ultimately, they need a Chairman who isn't interested in getting an SFA blazer first and foremost.

Guys a self serving two faced arsehole who put on several different faces, from "youth development" when it later emerged his shan mob didn't play one single player from the boys club setup instead going for payday ringers from the lower leagues. Then he was playing the personal abuse card on twitter to deflect from the fact he was shite at his job.

Cheerio and good riddance but don't think this is the last we will see of him. His pointless sham of a club are on borrowed time at least. With no fans, no ground and no infrastructure to speak of.
