Embrace the change & development and let it grow into a fine concept. The young players playing senior football across the B teams will be excellent for the clubs, Scotland and the clubs in the lower leagues. How about inviting clubs like Broomhill, Caley Braves, Cumbernauld and other volunteers into the Reserve League? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they don't make it at their club. League 2/Conference clubs will have a ready made experienced 21 year old to sign who has 2/3 years experience within Senior Football and will be taught good habits with regards to their development, Its better then the structure at the moment where they might be playing 10 games as opposed to 100. Where to begin with this nonsense! Has to be a wind up? I’ll take this at face value and give you the benefit of the doubt. Please explain what is to be gained by non Scottish youngsters playing against part time players in the 5th tier? I could understand if the B Teams were playing against full time professionals in the 2nd or 3rd tier, in that it might help with hardening them up. However, no self respecting club would voluntarily want this for numerous reasons. There is absolutely NO value to the pyramid with B Teams. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are playing matches that matter Against players where it means more then its each age group or youth. B teams will produce youngsters for other clubs as well and works better in other countries then the flawed loan system. -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparticus Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 The B team arguement seems to be that it’s good for Scottish football to give the old firm b team players a test against lowland league opposition. Letting them into the pyramid basicallly demotes ambitous clubs below them. What gives old firm b team players preference over other proper clubs players around the same level? Scottish football isn’t built for this and has alot of fantastic smaller clubs who have there own great history. Please put the b teams in there own b team/reserve league and focus on making the Pyramid the best it can be. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Rangers and Celtic are never going to be European powerhouses unless they move to the English league. They are small fish on the Euro stage now. Using a small bit cash to corrupt the pyramid is horrific The pyramid and the new lower league are the best thing thats happened to the Scottish leagues in an age. Much more exciting than the Scottish prem which will forever more be won by one of the old firm. Mindnumbingly boring and actually a bit upsetting. And there you look at lowland league table and see Rangers B and Celtic B. Seriously they should gtf Edited March 23, 2023 by Sparticus 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
