RandomGuy. Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Ian Maxwell just seems to be an absolutely abysmal appointment all round really. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's lazy stuff in any case from Maxwell, his seven countries quoted all were relatively successful international sides quite easily without B sides.

Think about all those that have had to reinvent themselves even in Serie A. Juve offered a decent chunk of change and stability as a member. If I remember right the offer was open to everyone, its just that Juve were the only one to take the Italian FA up on it. So it's no different to here where if the OF put up enough cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Maxwell's argument seems to be that we need B teams because our U19s haven't qualified for the annual 7 team (+host) UEFA tournament since 2006 (notice how he can't even remember the year). Belgium and Poland were at the same tournament and have only qualified once since (2011 and 2023 respectively). Ireland have qualified twice in that time yet I don't think they have B teams? Croatia haven't qualified since 2016... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparticus Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Maxwell should resign over this. It’s becoming crystal clear b teams dont work. England is now the best league in world football. Never a hint of a b team there. I bet leagues will be looking at pulling b teams out there league system in the next decade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need B teams, we never will and despite what some folk from Cowdenbeath and Glasgow tell you, this isn't a binary between a conference league and accepting B teams into the league. We can (and should) say no to both of them. From the Moonster who supports a club who happily rent out the ground to the Rangers B team. Pot kettle.......

Have you ever took your moans to the people that run Dumbarton football club rather taking your frustrations out on a forum. As the LL chairman said on the podcast not one single delegate at PWG meetings has mentioned the B teams. Now i have my thoughts on the LL chairman, he works for the Sun ffs, but in this i believe him. First time i heard the pyramid mentioned by a delegate at the West Juniors meetings at Hampden was 6 months before the Wosfl was set up. One 30 second quip about the pyramid which nobody replied to and the meeting moved on. Money talks louder than words. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've stated previously across numerous threads when some moron pipes up with "aye but whit aboot Dumbarton!!!" on this topic, yes, I have. You seem to think I can't have an opinion that differs from the people sitting in my clubs boardroom. I asked this before and you ignored it, what team do you support? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said no delegates have spoken against B teams in the Pyramid and he'd be right, I have said before that the leagues themselves are not against any team if they tick the membership requirements and apply at the bottom. It is then upto the member clubs themselves to approve their application or not. However we don't have that situation. Which club did you represent at the WRJFA meeting, and what point are you making? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
