GordonS Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 B teams are no more ridiculous in this than East Stirling, who qualified based on their league position of 7 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Well, they are, as they are not real clubs. Not that the invitation if certain clubs this season was anything to be proud of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound like one of those Sportscene/sound pundits who go on about how teams like Dundee United "deserve" to be in the top flight, regardless of how shite they are at the actual game of football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 It's no less ridiculous than the actual reason teams were invited into the competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost 7-0 on the Saturday, and won 3-0 on the Tuesday..... a dozen or so of us returned on the Tuesday if I remember correctly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Celtic must be pretty useless at youth development to get pumped out the cup by that has just been pumped out the league cup. If I was Celtic I would hope that the young talent were at least equal to a standard L1 side, clearly they are closer to Sunday amateur level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I think the Dundee derby might draw a decent (for B teams) crowd. Unless they play it at 2pm on a Monday at North End Park which is also possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic B finished 6th in the lowland league last season, 10 points behind 2nd place Hearts B, and 22 points behind champions East Kilbride EK won the 2 x fixtures 2-0 and 2-1 last season Celtic B have only beat EK once in the 7 games they have played each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_the_rover Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Was surprised at a couple hundred there between Hibs B and Albion Rovers last night. Decent game which both teams went for. Albion rovers player Michael Paton missed a pen in the 88th min, then he scored the equaliser in the 92nd, then stepped up to score the winning penalty in the shootout 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
