strachanmcgheegoal Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 The only positive I see in that is it gives us a season to say right 1 of you potentially gets the chance to move up, but the other needs to fuck off for 7 years minimum. Just to watch them kill each other. And Montrose to pap the “winner” out of the play off. 1 Link to comment
Dons79 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 There’s no positive!,and they would just upgrade their youth budget to make sure that finals vs Montrose are easy for them. Montrose don’t bring through quality like Welsh and Johnson’s of this world.trying to pay off the wee teams for a foot in the door. can picture the media in Scotland now “big 2 get invited to England”, Scottish media our game will die without them, thank god for the colts. media would put pressure on every day to accept them in to the bigger leagues.

eddiec Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 pile of shite talking about developing young players in the lowland league (or the highland league for that matter) as the standard will be much lower than if they let the players go out to league 1 or 2 and the most promising to the championship where they could develop amongst seasoned professionals surely that's better than cuffing Gretna every week. The whole concept of the idea being better for the development of the Scottish game as a whole is utter bollocks but i guess the lowland league is made up of bigoted wee clubs who would love to say they are mixing with the arse cheeks Link to comment
Yorston Vasey Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 This is just a cash grab for the Lowland League sides. Read that the games against the colts teams won't even count in terms of points or league places, they're glorified friendlies. Football is getting fucking mental with stuff like Qatar joining the European qualifying section for exactly the same reason, it's all about £££. Link to comment
The Gee Man Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 As long as they stay in these league’s with no promotion to main leagues I don’t care. The second they try to sneak them into the league via pyramid style it’s time for the same action as produced by super league cash grab, which of course sfa, spl were 100% against Link to comment

Yorston Vasey Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The Lowland League is a shite standard. Any half decent young Rangers or Celtic players will go on loan to League 1 or League 2 clubs and it'll be the pish youngsters who are playing these glorified friendlies. This was about them getting a foot in the door, next step will be whoring themselves back to the SPFL potentially with the carrot of voting to remove relegation from League 2 if they're permitted to join. A large number of the lower SPFL clubs will absolutely go for that having seen East Stirling, Berwick and now possibly Brechin disappear into the wilderness. This is a safety net for both Rangers and Celtic to have a confirmed league presence in Scotland for when they fuck off to a Euro league somewhere down the line. None of this is progressive, or for the good of Scottish football. The Lowland League clubs that voted for this have sold out for £2,500 each. 1 Link to comment

The Gee Man Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 This is the precursor to them joining a high profile British league and leave their colt teams to take over the rest of Scottish football, they will literally have their cake and eat it, all assisted by the corrupt sfa. It’s absolutely scandalous, akin to the European Super League suggestion. The game in Scotland is totally rigged.

Sheepo Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Huns and Tims will not be going anywhere anytime soon unfortunately no matter what they try, this failed super league means there is no way the big English clubs would be allowed to wield there power in such a way that would allow the Bigot brothers in.

The fans will see to that. The Scottish game has always been about these teams. It is up to other clubs to raise their games and compete against them. Link to comment
daytripping Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Fact of the matter is something needs put in place for the young players to get competitive football, it's no good signing them at 16 and them hardly having any game time till they eventually don't make the grade or are meant to step up to first team level. If reserve/under 23 football isn't coming back any time soon something needs to be in its place. I think for us the Highland league is an option worth consideration, playing against experienced adults is no easy task for the youngsters, I've seen enough pre season games over the years to know it would be far from a walk over for them. Has to be with a caveat of no promotion ever. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Surely we can get enough reserve/under 23 teams together to have a league? Even if it is regional. A north/East league and a south/West league. Top 2 in each league play semi finals etc. You'd get a small TV deal for the latter stages. I remember the days when the junior Cup final was live on stv. 1 Link to comment

Used to love going to the Reserves at Pittodrie, when I was a kid we would go on a Saturday when first team was away and we used to get some decent crowds especially against the Cheeks. Then used to take my loon to the reserves when he was about 5/6 to dip his toes in the water before first team games by then they were moved to midweek but still at Pittodrie and again sometimes got small but decent crowds especially when we were getting a raft of trialists in a few Years back. It used to be FOC with Season tickets. No idea why they stopped this probably some Cheeks Bollocks or unsmart thinking by the authorities 1 Link to comment

I remember the first time I saw Glass himself in one of those games against the Hun reserves. Played up front and scored a double in a 2-2 draw I think. Was a complete stand out in that team. Think we only paid a couple of quid to get in. The main stand was the only one open. Link to comment

Aye I remember seeing Glass also, yes it was Main stand only but remember one Huns game where the crowd was so big they opened the South stand also. £2 for adults and £1 for kids if you didn't have an ST.
