Studebaker-90 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I’ve been monitoring the progress of cruden bay juniors as a lad I used to play with has recently signed for them. He was alright, just not great. They sit bottom of the league having conceded 19 and scoring twice in 3 games (think they got 8 past them in the cup too). Got me thinking, what’s the motivation to play for teams like that? Is it just to say you play juniors? These cunts would get a doing from most amateur teams. Seems bizarre. Link to comment

I was saying exact same when I watched Rothie beat them 13-0. I remember in juveniles when we used to pump teams 10 or 15-0 but the kids were forced to go by parent. Fuck knows why an adult would choose to get hammered every week. Its not for me thats for sure. Link to comment

It’s not as if they would get paid at that level? Maybe they don’t have to pay to play but I’d rather pay a fiver and play a competitive game than not pay and get hammered every week. Link to comment

Most junior sides pay something - even if its just £20/£30 a game. Some of the better ones pay more. Doubtful the likes of Cruden Bay do though - hence they end up the whipping boys most years. Newmachar were similar. Link to comment

Surely better off playing for a decent amateur outfit. Link to comment

Certainly wouldn't be for me as a grown adult to give up Saturdays to get hammered every game. Cruden Bay seems to be a stepping stone for boys leaving juveniles. Chance for them to stand out against more established junior sides maybe and get a move. Link to comment

I only remember them being a middle of the road amateur team. Link to comment

Newmachars had a junior side for at least 10 years. We lost one of our young players my last season of amateurs to them. Just noticed they are in superleague now after mostly being in the first division. Link to comment

How they doing these days since other than thumping a bunch of idiots 13-0? Still got a soft spot for them after all these years. Link to comment

Roberto Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 See AC Mill Inn beat St Machar 51-0 today. Madness. St Machar only had 8 players. I can't believe they didn't start kicking to get sent off and game abandoned when it went to 5-0. Long afternoon otherwise. Link to comment

It should be all about playing. Find the best team you can that you'll actually get a game for rather than wanting to be at a better club where you get 5 or 10 minutes every week. I see no value in saying we won this or that league or cup if you never had much to do with it. If that means you need to play for a shit team coz your a shit player then so be it. Link to comment
