Superally Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 After the anti-climax of the weekend the Pars have a home midweek fixture on Tues 15th against the peculiarity that is Celtic B in the third round of SPFL Trust Trophy. This was a rearranged fixture from September as Celtic B who play in the Lowland league had players called up for internationals. In their last cup outing they defeated Albion Rovers 3-2 at Cliftonhill. Celtic B currently sit 7th in the Lowland League but they seem to score goals and have won 5 of their last 6 fixtures. Officially they are the reserve side of Celtic but are based at Airdries Excelsior stadium and contain mainly youth players. On a personal level I fundamentally disagree with the concept of B teams being allowed to compete alongside established teams so I hope the Pars do enough to see this fixture through and progress to the next round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I want to win to knock these ****ers out but if that means playing senior players then it’s not worth it. They want to treat it as reserve team football we should treat it as reserve football, hopefully a crowd suited for it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I'm torn. I obviously shouldn't turn up to see a colt team from one half of the former old firm. On the other hand, the next game I'll likely make is the Falkirk match at new year, so I could do with a fix. Also a chance to see the young players coming through, albeit disappointing that Ritchie-Hosler and Mahon can't play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Hope Mcpake puts out the youngest squad possible. Unimportant game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastendtales Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Would like to see Todorov get some game time here. Anyone that's not had enough match time past month should get on here. I hate the fact we're playing a b team. Just want to get it over with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Eleven Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 I think it’s fair to say that this game hasn’t generated as much excitement as other recent matches - either due to the competition or the opponents. Still you can only beat who’s in front of you and this is a chance for a couple of fringe players to get 90 minutes under their belt. I’d like to see Max Little get some game time in this one.

Digs Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 I'm torn tbh. I've never been to a challenge cup game in my puff, I've no interest in it. I also disagree with the concept of colt teams anyway but with the Mrs and my daughter working in the stand, I'll be sitting in the house twiddling my thumbs.

An evening with the house to yourself sounds like a big win! 🙂 I don't mind the Challenge Cup generally, but on principle I won't attend a game with B sides. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get hunners of Brownie pts by going to EEP with them and helping them out with their work instead of watching the game. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
