O/T McInally decent piece / rant re Old Firm colt team proposals

[noahrab]

What makes them different from your club?

Ambition.

[noahrab]

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.

Listen, I’m open to clubs like yourselves getting in if the criteria is met.

Surely you can see that we as a country need to try something different?

Only a fool would disagree.

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.

The Old Firm for the most part have had a huge part to play in all this. They rarely give their youngsters a chance to play in the first team, generally preferring seasoned pros, yet it is they who want other teams to develop their young players by having them included in the lower leagues. Very selfish indeed.

Perhaps getting rid of the Old Firm would result in the greatest benefit in developing our young players?

Fine, just let your hatred keep blinding you.

I resent that remark most strongly. I reject hatred in all its guises, unless it is a hatred for that which is wrong.

I challenge YOU Mr Dee, to quote one remark that I have made anywhere that suggests a hatred for either of the Old Firm Clubs. Perhaps it is yourself who is blind, being unable to discern truthful facts from biased prejudice?

A true Dee would know what to do next. They exist. I have met them.

Ambition.

If you think all these clubs lack ambition then you really have no idea. For example Brechin had the ambition of paying at a higher level in the championship and they have achieved that. What exactly have your club achieved in the last 40 odd years? It'd be pretty easy to argue they suffered from too much ambition to the detriment of the club and it's fans.

You really think Brechin wanted promotion

What steps did they take to try and push on further and not go straight back down?

Did they go full time?

Did they sign better players?

They have shown no ambition to push on.

Yep, hatred.

I said ALL top league teams should be able to play teams in the wee leagues, yet you focus on just two.

I think you should go back and read my post #13 again, but more slowly this time, paying particular attention to my opening line. In any case, how you can possibly translate this into 'hatred' is beyond me?

Perhaps you consider those who hold a different viewpoint to yourself as extremists?

For ease of reference here is Post #13.
