Pride Of The Clyde Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I don't care one jot about this cup, it is nothing more to me than pre-season, better than friendlies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two home games against decent clubs makes a budget difference. That's the way of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeton Clyde Boy Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Not fussed about this tournament anyway unless we have a squad that looks like could progress and we don’t.. glorified friendlies roll on the league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 3rd time in 5 years we will have played Kilmarnock in this cup and 2 clubs from our league, a bit repetitive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Killie we've actually been quite lucky in this cup for draws as it's only them and now Dumbarton we've faced more than once. The other 2 unseeded sides in our group being from the same division is a pain though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Ditch the regionalisation. Scotland is hardly the size of Russia, FFS! The top flight clubs in the Southern Section are dull as f**k. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toma_BullyWee Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Just been told the under 21s have folded. I'm assuming this is something that's going to be standard across the lower leagues, if it hasn't started already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already "mothballed" the reserves and academy, won't be the first and you won't be the last! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 They were only very loosely a Clyde team anyway and unlikely to produce anything like a regular first team player given their status and the teams they were playing against. If you are any good at the age of 19/20 you'll be in the Clyde first team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a shock by all accounts but I've been told off someone who's just been told their job is gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adolfo Rios Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 The "U21's"are not Clyde FC linked. They stand alone are under the community foundation which also facilitates the Mental health team Clyde United, powechair team and Clyde Ladies. Despite what is sometimes portrayed or maybe picked up as, they are not a youth setup for the 1st team. The community teams are setup to get kids off the street and/or active at all ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullyWeeLad Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Not fussed as David W said guys would be nowhere near the actual Clyde team, just a blow for the community and the young guys wanting a game of football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo ohne Flamingo Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Feel sorry for the lads who've just penned contracts which to me looked within the last few days but as has been said above, we never seem to produce anything from these teams. Who is the last decent player that came from our youth? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adolfo Rios Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 It's been many a year since we had a youth set up. The community teams aren't set up to feed the first team with talent. Given that they are run by what is a registered charity it could be funding/donations or not enough players willing to pay fees etc in the current climate. All the same hopefully the boys involved get a team to play with at whatever level that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
