Andy groundhopper Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 29 minutes ago, Marten said: Mate, I'm Dutch and I've been living in Scotland for 3 years (and 8 years England before then). Since then I've been to loads of junior games, more juniors than any other football. I personally know a number of people involved in junior football (and involved in clubs that used to be juniors). And I've been told that I can't comment on junior football because I "won't understand it" due to my place of birth... Think that sums the Juniors up, every football supporter understands about clubs, areas, history etc. Whilst doing the Northern LGE I spoke to loads of proud football/coal mining folk and how their villages had been affected, was never told 'you won't understand' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask any staunch "junior grade" person what makes their precious "grade" different to any other type of semi-pro football, and you never get an answer that makes any logical sense. And deep down they know it as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definitely some "bad eggs" but I've come across far more good people. In the end, the vast majority of people support a club, not a grade.

Andy groundhopper Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Be even better if you changed your name to Junior ! Just a quicky, why would someone have loads of different names on P&B ? too ashamed of your real name I guess 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Pennel Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Marten,..can I suggest Dalmellington ?...the team would appreciate your support. You can proudly support Craigmark Burntonians and it would throw the alphabet police off the scent. You'd meet some nice, decent, people before you have to turn yourself in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
