@Brazilianlexsaid nothing of the sort you f***ing sh** stirring moron.
He said;
If you bothered to go to the fans meeting then you would have heard the reasons and had the opportunity to challenge and ask questions as many did.
Nowhere did he say or imply that the other posters opinion was not valid.
I know I said I was done on this thread, but for cretins like you making things up I’ll make an exception.
You're right that's not passive aggressive point scoring in the slightest by Brazilian lex.
Id say calling people names isn't big or clever but you'd probably deny that too

Don't try to stir the shit amongst our fans I never implied they were bad I said they could have have watched it on zoom if they were able to , I don't know if they would have been that's why I said they could have.
I don't know who the boy/girl is or where they come from but I respect my fellow Cowden fan and their opinion.
Aye and one of your fellow supporters implied his opinion wasn't relevant as he didn't attend this famous meeting so enough of the put-upon pish you lot are spouting

North Caley President is not impressed.
The NCL is a really well run league, they should just withdraw from a pyramid that so far has given them nothing but hassle(fort Williams temper tantrums preseason)&go their own way

Ad usual like most threads, this has become a 25 year old married couple.
10 of the 16 clubs voted to keep the weans in. We are not privy to their reasons why. Speculation is rife.
The b teams in LLland don't seem to have been the roaring success we were promised.
So the next wonderful idea is this conference malarkey.
It appears that the 16 LLland clubs have been told different versions of this proposal, probably dependent on their history.
All that the bickering has done is the usual; the coo fans on here have become passive aggressive towards the rest. The other 9 plus the no voters are incredibly quiet.
Do we seriously believe Cowdenbeath and the others want to play in such a league. That would be a slow death for any club.
I don't have the golden answer. But what I do know from 30+ years as a union rep.
The powers always use the same tactic;
DIVIDE & CONQUER.
Don't let them. Find common ground to fight from.
Oh here I know; a love of the game.
Have faith in one another my brothers, and sisters.
(Long Live Loretta)
Given some of the utter bawbags in the LL,the powers that be aren't really having to work that hard to divide&conquer, unfortunately

If I could be bothered to look out the Alan Partridge shrugging meme I would.
We’re still lovely people.
No,you really aren't.
What's getting most people's goat here is the no fucks given attitude cowden supporters are giving to their clubs betrayal of Scottish football
No one likes us,we don't care.who else says that.....?

Jesus wept. The Lowland League used to be a great wee sub section of the forum.
There was one B team thread which was busy but relatively peaceful most the time.
Now we have multiple threads where folks can whip themselves into a frenzy.
Cowden used to be a good club

Secondly an absolute selling of the jerseys around promotion/ relegation by duplicating the scandalous Team 42 " reward failure, second chance " crap in SPFL League 2. From a League with such a long and distinguished history, shameful.
Long and distinguished history of blatant protectionism.
The pyramid,well over a hundred years overdue,was meant to do something about that but in an incredibly short period of time it's been disregarded over the interests of 2 clubs and a dozen or so quislings

I think it unlikely that any HL club would want anything to do with a conference as described, and with Aberdeen looking increasingly unlikely participants too, any pretence at a new national tier would be pretty well dead in the water. If it amounts to anything it will be a rejigged Lowland League, maybe split into 2, leaving the HL still at tier 5.

Wish I shared your confidence re noone cooperating.if the LL fiasco has taught anything it's that there's plenty snakes out there

To be honest, I dont know why the utility companies are not charged again and again for their "send a couple of fat guys to jump up and down on a dod of tar" because - done properly, cut out and with a poured edge - a refilled hole in the road should be almost as good as the original.

I gave Var every chance when it first came out but it's ruining the game for me now, ie the Inverness penalty today plus the Crystal Palace penalty today. 1, Where the feck are you meant to put you arm's when someone is pining a ball at you? 2, The Palace player dived all day long but that's modern day fitba for you, but it's crazy var can't see that. Thank god I don't attend football anymore.
Go to football that doesn't feature VAR
You're quite right about how shite it is,it's just added another level of officials desperately looking for any reason to give the big team the decisions

I started that challenge when I finished the 42, now roughly halfway through and I'm loving it.
I've been doing a bit of that too.i now no longer have my 42,with bonnyrigg going into the league&FC Edinburghs new ground but re them I really can't be arsed,I'd rather just go somewhere outwith the national leagues.
Was at the cup winners shield game luncarty-renfrew yesterday,lovely wee ground&enjoyable game that actually meant something so it was competitive

3-0 to 'carty?! Fair play
As soon as the first goal went in there was only going to be one winner.

No way we could get a north team in this for a bit of symmetry?

This has absolutely nothing to do with it. If Celtic and Rangers decide to join some sort of foreign league and want to keep fielding a team domestically, they'll just do that. They don't need to set up a B team in the fifth tier a decade in advance.So much easier to do of you've a b team in the championship already
Do you honestly think that they're going through all this grief and expense to develop Scottish talent?

Who knows what goes on in the Dark Tower. Do these people that are supposed to oversee our game go to any matches other than Scotland games, semis, finals and the twins.
This was meant to be about the kids and their development. It doesn't feel that is even in their thoughts at all.
I've mentioned before that have seen decent prospects disappear off to pro youth and come back deflated and poorer than before.
What is being involved in these B Teams, where they are molly coddled, teaching these young players is this protected, uncompetitive environment. Is it preparing them for the cut-throat world of professional football. The evidence so far suggests no.
It's so very clearly about nothing other than allowing the arse cheeks a presence in the Scottish leagues if/when they get into a European league or England.nothing to do with the development of young talent

We can't even tell them to feck off to Europe or the moon once this is in place. They will have ready made teams already in the pyramid.
Which is what all this is about in a nutshell
