Antiochas III Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Wait how can Colt teams be an English idea? It's been part of European football for decades. It has also been part of lower league or regional cup football for decades too as Las Palmas B won the Spanish version of the Challenge Cup back in 1994.

Because coincidentally Colt teams will play in the Johnstones Paint Trophy this season, or the EFL trophy as its been renamed. There's protests down there at lower league clubs and not every EPL club has chosen to participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 The English one is probably a bigger joke than ours. It would be like if they announced the Irn-Bru Cup and then Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen and Hearts said their youth teams wouldn't be taking part. They're also worrying about the prospect of two development teams reaching the final. DON'T INVITE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE THEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sureiknow Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Nice drop of prize money for the wee teams. £3500 for 1st round alone. Be interesting to see Crusaders and Linfield in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 02/08/2016 at 17:14, Skyline Drifter said: There is no particular desire for it though. Which is why it hasn't happened and nobody is suggesting it. The whole "won't somebody think of the children" mewling about Colt teams being a stepping stone for League acceptance reminds me a lot about the whole "we can't have a GB team at the Olympics or FIFA will make us have a single GB team in real football". It was tosh then and it's tosh now. Today we have the SFA's Performance Director advocating colt teams in the league... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
