Hampden Diehard Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Brazilianlex said: They did post a 44 player squad so I suppose a high number of subs is to be expected. At least they can’t get a game called off to due to an injury crisis. ! With 44 players, they shouldn't be getting games called off for any reason. That they are allowed to prioritise international call ups and European matches over the LL only serves to increase the farce of their involvement in that league. If their parent club hadn't pulled out of the Reserve League and helped bring about its demise, the colts side could have been in that. A bit more of a test than against some of the LL strugglers.

Was this not more that other side's complained that one week they were facing a strong rangers side but the next, due to call ups, was much weaker. This was at the request of the other teams 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was at the request of the other teams Whoda thunk that colts teams would be of differing strengths one week after another? It's the very nature of reserve teams. They should be playing the season with the pool they have, and it shouldn't be as many as 44. It seems like the LL will change anything to ensure the colts can be accommodated. The postponements will result in teams with little cash playing in midweek with fewer paying customers and potentially depleted squads.

It would have been something the Lowland would have had to request as part of the Guest team standards (like the two Board members at games). Doubt they'd have thought to spell out something like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are by default licensed clubs in their own right as their part of licensed clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PELE Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 When you play Uni of Stirling at Forthbank, there is no catering, no tannoy, no stewards and no turnstile in use (just a group of what look like 1st year students taking cash at a table). Totally different from playing Stirling Albion there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers B are ultimately a guest team where the only rules that apply to them are those imposed by the LL Board not licencing standards. If they could get away without licensed grounds why don’t they just play at their training grounds? I’ve been at all 3 of our B team games. At Whitehill all the things you would get at a Welfare games were available against Hearts B. At both the Excelsior and the Rock they had the normal catering available, only the 2 bars which are open for Airdrie and Dumbarton games were closed. I have many gripes on B teams being there but I couldn’t knock them for facilities. Much better than what Stirling Uni offer at Forthbank. At the end of the day I would be glad to see the back of the B teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did manage to get into the stadium albeit early and manage a wander around the corridors and was even offered tea and biscuits before taking my seat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I went to see Uni v Spartans at Forthbank a few years ago (when Shelley Kerr was boss). I got a coffee from the rickety table and was fishing around for a carton of milk to put in it when I noticed they were all out of date, by a decent margin To be fair, they were ok with having to chuck a complete box out. Dread to think how many had not noticed over the preceding days/weeks though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only go by the first half (left at halftime 1-1 because of sub zero temperature) Seriously thought if this is the B teams i dread to think what the rest of the league is like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
