Losing 3-0 after an hour.
Meanwhile Aberdeen B are beating Forfar 3-0 at Station Park.
Too much commotion

Re: Scottish Challenge Cup
Our B team gets pumped 5-0 by a Highland League team. Meanwhile Aberdeen's B team pump a full strength Forfar team 3-0. I am aware Aberdeen played a few over age players but still. Pretty sure a game like this would have been of benefit to boys like Merghem, Farrugia and the like. Surely having 2-3 experienced players there to help out and talk to the young lads would help? But we decide to just send the kids out to get hammered. I don't get it. We only had 3 players on the bench too. It all looks a bit amateurish and embarrassing. What are the benefits of our approach to this tournament?

I don't get it either.
We've obviously learnt fuck all from last season. Just sending a full team of kids out to get battered off of men. What are they meant to learn from that? That they need to be physically stronger? We already know 15 and 16 year olds need to grow stronger. That's a given.
As you say we could have gave minutes to Ross Graham, Neil Farrugia, Kevin Ciubotaro, Mehdi Merghem, Ruairidh Adams and just complimented that with 6 other kids, with the bench made up of the rest.
I really would love to hear our reasoning on this. It's brainless imo.
