irvine_buddie Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 If any of the U20s teams get as far as the 3rd round (Apart from the maybe the old firm) they could get a real doing off one of the better Championship sides. No comment on wether I'm counting us as a better Championship side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure Celtic U20s are decent but St Mirren U20 beat them last season so would like to think our first team could beat them fairly comfortably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we can beat ANY U20s is not the point. The very fact this ludicrous decision was made should have us refusing to play in it with a full team. This is no longer the competition that better allowed lower league teams to have a chance to play in a national cup final. It is a joke. It is an embarrassment. It is, quite frankly, a typical Donkeyarseter/ feck up. We need a referendum to see if we want to stay or leave. Hopefully a leave vote would pave the way to get shot of him and his crony Reagan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irvine_buddie Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) It's a bit of a strange one having all the premiership U20s teams in it especially since there are many Championship U20s teams who finished higher (like us), but I don't see why people are so worked up about it. Nobody really cared that much about the Challenge Cup before anyway and if you can't beat an U20s team you dont deserve to win a trophy.

NorthWalesBud Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 On a personal note, I was disappointed only the top two Welsh teams got in as my local team - Llandudno Town finished third (in their first season in Wales' big league, and have been drawn to play Gothenburg in the first round of Europa League qualifying). But to be honest after TNS the standard drops dramatically and even TNS aren't THAT good! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally watched one of their games on S4C and was pretty shocked at how mince the standard was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a national trophy which GAURANTEED a lower league team winning it. It was FOR the lower leagues. It has been devalued even more than it was by this feckup of a transformation. No self respecting BoDs should accept that their team is akin to a development team which is what this change is suggesting. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 And with nobody challenging them in any season then the standard won't improve. True but they're hardly going to bring players in or alter their budget specifically for an away game v Clyde or Brechin. Anyway, Bangor City to win WPL this year!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Bangor City to win WPL this year!! Before moving to Llandudno I lived on Anglesey and at that time I attended quite a few Bangor City games, particuarly enjoyed the derbies with Caernarfon. Those games were much like our Renfrewshire derbies with Bangor (at the time) holding a long unbeaten run against the "Coffis". FYI Bangor City once famously took Napoli to a replay at Highbury (Arsenal) in their first forray into European football, losing the game 2-1 after a 3-3 aggregate draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I like the idea of Welsh and Northern Irish teams coming in, the under 20's idea has completely killed this tournament for me. Not interested now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vambo57 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Unless we officially play our under 20s team in this, I will not be attending.... unless we reach the final of course! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
