Popular Post Ric Posted June 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57651255 It's effectively the same thing the clubs rejected before. How many times does this idea need to be comprehensively rejected for the OF to finally realise nobody wants their cunting B teams.

mizfit Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 They’ll be more confident because the lowland league clubs were thick as f**k and accepted it without thinking twice. Get this in the bin. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 No matter how cynical you become after years of watching them at work, the sense of entitlement that the OF has can still be staggering - this pish should be laughed out of town once and for all. My main interest in this is a genuine bafflement as to why they want this so much - even theories about keeping their vast squads employed on a Saturday or keeping a foothold in Scotland when they play in some vague "superleague" doesn't seem to warrant the amount of manoeuvring that's been going on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Unfortunately, the door has been opened, since the £10 whores in the Lowland league, dropped their knickers. This won't go away now. The arsecheeks spell the scent like Dr. Hannibal Lecter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Something not mentioned in the piece is the threshold needed for this to pass, does it need to be unanimous or is it just a simple majority. Now, to be fair, I don't think they'd get a majority but who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKAC Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I have no idea if this is possible but can a motion be put forward saying that if defeated the topic cannot be discussed again for a period of time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see from the story that the B teams in the Lowland League are only there for a single season, I thought it was permanent rather than a trial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be so they can hoard literally every promising youngster in Scotland and don’t release them too early, a la Aaron Hickey or Andy Robertson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 How many times do we need to say NO? I think we are up to 181 times now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it's more so the big teams can piss off to a Euro League or an English League and still retain teams in the Scottish League. Can't get promoted, then it's can't get promoted beyond League 1, then it'll be the Championship....etc, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, just a trial. Since it will be flagged as such a success, however, better they were playing at a higher level, for the good of Scottish fitba and the national team, we will proceed to League 2. For a trial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Grimes Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 They’re just going to keep asking until everyone gets bored and gives in Which might be this time League 2 reverting to no relegation for a few seasons is absolutely shite and just thinly veiled bribery 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 You know what I'd love, the meeting to take place and for the clubs to say, "sure we'll agree to it with one minor change, we swap out the B teams for other Lowland/Highland ones" and watch as those proposing this shit sandwich dance on a pin trying to convince people why the B clubs must be included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 We need 1 other team to ask to have a colt team put in, as this would give an odd number of teams to enter into the league, plus the OF would have to win a case of why it should be them. Get it to f**k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw the massive stooshy regarding the pyramid system during the pandemic, to now turn around and actively stop pyramid progression is just shitty and as you say, as transparent a bribe as you could get barring some dodgy bloke turning up at midnight with a suitcase full of cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, I thought it was permanent (or at least longer than one season). The fact it isn't and reconstruction has raised it's head (again) would lead the cynic to think that this is all one big orchestrated plan. I think you are spot on, btw, regarding it being considered it a success - even if there was numerous issues.

I'm completely against this idea, but in no way does it "stop pyramid progression" - if anything there is more pyramid progression given that two clubs would be getting promoted each year for the next three, rather than the 0.5 promotion places that currently exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No promotion or relegation for 3 years is, imo, stopping the pyramid progression. Sure, when leagues previously have expanded they may have stopped relegation for that season but never for 3 seasons and never stopped promotion. Now to be fair, you'll probably know better than I regarding a lot of this, but has there ever been a case where promotion/relegation was stopped for 3 seasons? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albagubrath Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 If the sole aim of this is to increase the opportunities for development for the best young players in Scotland, then the SFA should enter representative teams on behalf of all clubs. We could have a 'District' model for instance with an East of Scotland, West of Scotland, South and Highland team. If you don't go for district teams there could be a draft system to add a bit of excitement too. If it really is about development, the OF can loan their players to those teams. As can everyone else. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
