dandydunn Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Apparently had an application to have a colts team entered into the highland league to replace cove rangers rejected. So they’ve loaned notorious strugglers Fort William 9 players. Have they ripped the heart out of a small team, or have they shown great initiative? Can’t see the locals being very happy at all.

A bit of both. Fort William desperately need better players, as long as they keep some locals in the team they should be fine. On a side note, you can bet there'll be plenty moaning from fans of other clubs but this isn't much worse than the likes of brora, formartine and cove spending big bucks to get to the top. Brora in particular were almost as shite as fort until they found a sugar daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling hIlls Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I will make my parting speech before the day is over. Remember one thing though. Hate is hate no matter which side u are on. I love Scotland but don't hate any other country. I will continue to view the board and see if any decent personalities arise. Controversy can be good. But not bile. Stand on and I am away down to the tweed to write my farewell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Beem Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Think its probably a shrewd move for ICT and probably Fort William as well. Saying that, if you were a player or a fan of a mid or lower table team in the Highland League and out the blue start getting tanked by Fort WIlliam you’d probably be pretty pissed off.

No different to when brora ended up with money and got an ICT defender to come play and manage them. Brora were garbage but ended up with a sugar daddy and won the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac1 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Fort William were very forthcoming and supportive of this. Although I can't see it making a big difference for them, they certainly won't be winning the league. It gives Fort William a team and gives the some Caley youth the chance of regular competative 1st team football. It's all teenagers so they won't be transforming Fort William into title challengers. The most promising teenagers we have who are involved in some 1st team games or on verge of being involved are still at the club and haven't gone on loan.

Mox Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) There is certainly a moral question although I dont think they are doing anything illegal and it may well benefit the players who are being sent out on loan. I suppose the real question is for the other teams in the league and whether they think there is anything underhand at play and whether they'll do anything about it?

From what I've read theres nothing anyone can do about it as no rules have been broken. Not sure if this is true, I got this from one of the highland league forums, apparently next season this cant happen because only two players can be loaned from one club to another club due to a rule change coming in to force Edited July 28, 2019 by vanderark14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a lot to do with Scottish football unfortunately. Those of you that stay in foreign countries can stand and say what you like. Those of us who stay in Scotland will try and change it.
