shull 28,975 Report post Posted June 11, 2017 I grew to love it and had a decent day out at Fir Prk. Dinnae need or want Colt Teams though. WHEN THE SAINTS GO UP TO LIFT THE BRITISH ISLES CHALLENGE CUP, I'LL BE THERE. Should have a couple of English Teams in also. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stlucifer 5,506 Report post Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) I was hopeful that, due to sparse crowds and the cost of travel, along with the fact that the colts were sh!te, it might have returned to its roots giving SCOTTISH lower league teams a chance of silverware. I totally agree with Poz on this. An absolutely devalued competition which didn't have a lot of value to begin with. The lower division teams should boycott this NON event.

The day the NFL invite shite teams from El Salvador and Venezuela to take part, and head honcho Roger Goodell trumpets this as being a trailblazing example of cross-border competition integration, will be a somewhat chilly day in hell.

HSS 10,956 Report post Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) All the "shite tournament"..."waste of time" comments will change to "looking for 4 seats on a bus" If we draw one of the Orish/Welsh teams away. Final was a great day out. Edited June 12, 2017 by HSS 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Final was a great day out. I do hope not. Last season we evaded any colts and only drew a team outwith our country at home in the semi final. I cannot believe this competition has been enhanced by having these additions. There were enough teams already in the competition who attracted two men and a dug. I suspect the TV rights are the only things holding it together. Even then, if the "foreign" teams don't make an impact, that will dry up. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both teams will have to agree pricing, it is doubtful that EK would agree to something that will leave them out of pocket. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
