Reply With QuoteAll teams in the big league should be allowed to play colt/reserve teams in the wee leagues.
Teams like Peterhead/Arbroath/Forfar/Brechin etc bring nothing to Scottish football.
They only live for an away trip to a big team in the Scottish cup.

He's spot on imo, hopefully this isn't allowed to happen.

As for Peterhead, Arbroath, Forfar, Brechin, bringing nothing to Scottish football. f things keep going the way they are, no team outside the Old Firm will be bringing anything to the Scottish game. As it is, most teams are just making up numbers.

Brilliant piece from McInally, he is absolutely bang on and will be universally agreed with outside of Celtic and Sevco apart from the odd halfwit here and there

That's a very arrogant, conceited view you have there.
As Jimmy Mac says, the fans of these clubs are just as passionate about their team as the bigger clubs are.
What do Dundee have to offer Scottish football that's so special?

Good luck trying to persuade fans of those clubs that's the case.

Scottish football is stagnating due to young talent not getting opportunities to be tested against bigger stronger opposition.
Peterhead have done phuck all for the development of Scottish football.
Outwith the big league only 2/3 teams have ambition to do something in Scottish football.
We need to try something different or we all suffer. Doing the same and looking for different results doesn’t work.

No persuasion needed. They bring nothing to Scottish football but are quite happy to hoover up any money they can out of it.Good luck trying to persuade fans of those clubs that's the case.

What makes them different from your club?

Bring back the reserve league, then the youngsters will be playing with men trying to get in the first team instead of fannying about.
Think you're exaggerating the worth of many of the Premier teams, including your own and you didn't answer my question.
What have Dundee FC done for the development of Scottish football? You are in the third tier of the ridiculous Project Brave.
Twice in administration this century, cap in hand, rattling buckets, selling water and tablet..yet you judge Peterhead,Forfar etc as hoovering up money and obsolete.
Seems a bit of an I'm alright Jack mentality, I suggest you get a grip.
