I definitely think Cole has a chance, but as a player who played at League One level with East Fife last season he really should be playing at a higher level than the Lowland League.

Do you think it's likely the Colts will be allowed to be promoted from that division at some point down the line? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forfeiting prize money I agree with, but had we won the division, were robbing these kids of the chance to be celebrated as "Champions". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to get the better of them in any competition at any age group, women’s etc. The Dude, Blueshoff and AGM_72 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t know he was at East Fife, played 9 games maybe a loan too soon for the level. He turned 19 in January so unless a late developer you would want to see him at Championship level minimum, Partick or Inverness someone who there is a pressure to perform.

Ross-Gazza genius 1,907 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I know the overall standard of this league isn't great and there's a big gulf between the top 5 teams and the rest, but at least the young lads have experienced playing in a meaningful competition for the full season against different styles of teams. The players who stood out will no doubt get loans next season and that will leave the rest to test themselves at this level again. Every team who has been promoted from the lowland or Highland league has walked division 2 so the step up to division 2 isn't much better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaka 1,677 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Well done to the B team finishing second on their first go in the league against more experienced players is very impressive.  I wonder how many will be in the B team next season, surely if they don't get promoted to the first team squad, then a loan to a team higher up the ladder makes sense. Then we start again with a new team promoted from the under 18s to play in this competition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights 2,526 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Good opportunity for championship and league one teams to get a look at players against adults and hopefully want to take them on loan next season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
