Well, it's been a long, enjoyable journey to this point, and the easy part is now ticked off, but delighted to throw it out there that Deano's been offered a 3 year full time contract starting this su

Dons Under 17s have just beaten Celtic 2-0 this afternoon with goals from Deano and Nath Meres. Pretty comfortable throughout and Archie only had one save of note to make. The under 15s also comfortab

Was a proud father yesterday. Dean was on the bench for the under 20's. He didn't get on, so I've told him to go knock on the managers door! He's disappointed not to get on, but rightly proud of hims

Is it nae to do with the youth Champions League?

and International call-ups.

 

Couple of games have been called off for neither of them reasons though.

They'll have a lot of games to make up in a short space of time so they'll lose a few.

 

If we can go say a 9-2-2 record from our last 13 games then we'll run 'em close for the title.

Got to play them twice.

Because inevitably it will only be made available to Rangers and Celtic.

 

Plus its really just another way for these clubs to further turn the heads of supporters away from their local teams.

 

So make it open to anybody who wants to do it, like Spain, Portugal, Germany and fuck knows how many other leagues do.

 

Particularly if their big teams get a shift. Colt teams are their insurance policy because they know theyd get found out.

 

So make a rule that a colt team can only exist if their parent club are playing in the SPFL.

 

The paranoia surrounding the idea of colt teams is weird IMO. It seems the best way to get our youths playing proper football and producing better talent.

That's incorrect but the reality is only a handful of teams could afford to run one. That's the issue.

Theres no paranoia involved. We all know from experience exactly how the SFA and SPFL would approach this and its certainly not going to be with a new found sense of equality for all clubs.

 

I like the idea of colt teams itself, I just dont believe theyd be properly implemented in Scotland.

 

And I think the point about teams losing even more fans to the OF still stands, in a few years clubs like Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Airdrie, Patrick whatever would be badly affected as many of their fans decide they want to watch Celtic/Rangers colts. So it gets used by the OF as another way to screw everyone else.

 

Not against it in principal just to many ways it will be twisted to suit those 2 teams.
