Hamilton Accies (who always do well in the Development League) finished with more than double our points and could still win the league.You have to think if they can consistently bring through good young players (a club with about 500 season ticket holders) then there is no excuses why we should become complacent about standards dropping.

Incidentally Utd finished 14th out of the 17 team league.

Project Brave is the top 13 teams.

Is this selection process just based on league positions or other criteria?How is it decided?And when?

Anyone any info?

Is it not Brian Grant who is the manager, Tek?

The Project Brave (I fkn hate that name, as much as I do 'Twitter') criteria aren't based on league position as far as I recall: is it not to do with numbers of full time coaches and suchlike? And I reckon they've doubled the clubs involved from 8 to 16, not 13.

Other criteria include clubs being able to send a certain number of players out on loan each season, and being supportive of initiatives which, to me, will bring about the final death of Scottish football (allowing colt teams into the lower league and so on).

Let's be honest, the idea is being led by the SFA, who are and have been guilty of the continuous lowering of standards in Scotland for more than twenty years. They carry out audits which are designed to show the results they want. I don't want to labour the point to the stage of being boring, but as an example, in late March Sevco failed to reach the standards required for a licence to play in Europe, according to documentation still available on the SFA website, but a week ago, the SFA decided that miraculously the Govan club had reached the financial standards required in terms of financial fair play.

What changed?
