AMC13 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Another added away tie to Morton which we don't need in the season. Plus we will probably get beat not too exciting was really hoping for anything other than another team in our league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 People seem to be under the misapprehension that Doncaster and his fellow Hampden clowns care about what the fans of 40 clubs think. A boycott would undoubtedly meet with the same reaction from the suits that the Checkatrade Trophy did in England ie boycott and numerous record low crowds ignored and the competition continues as the authorities want.

Why should smaller clubs see their cup and league competitions diluted so "A Teams" U21s can play a game against a bunch of teachers and joiners from Stirling? What good will that actually do them?

dee_62 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 really? Away to Ross County Colts midweek...don't think they'll need to worry about arranging a boycott for that one. A few of the players may even cite "work commitments" for that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not quite ignored - there was much hilarity and terrible publicity all round last year. I think they're giving it one last go. We need, as has been said multiple times, to see the colts absolutely fucking smashed in front of precisely no fans. The best way to do that is for lower league teams to put out full strength sides, although that will not happen. Although knowing Cockwomble and Co., they'd probably just say the drubbings were evidence that young players need more experience playing against experienced pros, and hence they need to be in the league system. You just get the feeling it's pretty much a fait accompli and they'll be in there somewhere in the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Home tie against a team we've not played for a while, half a chance of progressing and not a colt team. Not the worst draw at all for Clyde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 and? that doesn't make them bad teams or bad players. Obviously just responding to your point about Hibs under 20s winning it even if you were probably just having a laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'd rather have played a Colts team but it'll do. Home against division below. Airdrie could be dangerous obviously but they are in a bit of turmoil at the moment so who knows how they will be by the time they line up. Sevco colts maybe just cos they be on premier sports or something similar otherwise no thanks senior teams or other association teams suit me fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
