2 pretty shit academy teams really.
Never heard of this.The club near enough admit to the 16s, 18s and B team being full of squad fillers with the new advanced training group they have.

When was this announced?
You need every aspect to become a footballer not just technical ability no point being skillful if u can’t run , our 16s lost 8-0 to hearts at the weekend with 2 over age players playing hearts had no over age players , our 14s lost 5-0 to hearts , our 13s lost 8-2 to sheep . Results are not the be all and end all but getting humped at any level at rangers shouldn’t happen and it happens a lot .Is the technical aspect not what we've been crying out for?
Having big lumps may get results at youth level, but that likely doesn't translate to senior football when the physical advantage is no longer there.
We used to win all our games at youth level yet very, very few of these players progressed to our first team.You need every aspect to become a footballer not just technical ability no point being skillful if u can’t run , our 16s lost 8-0 to hearts at the weekend with 2 over age players playing hearts had no over age players , our 14s lost 5-0 to hearts , our 13s lost 8-2 to sheep .

Well now we don’t produce players and also don’t win youth games ,We used to win all our games at youth level yet very, very few of these players progressed to our first team.
I remember boys teams from Scotland going over to Holland for tournaments , we would win all the time up until about 15 then they would destroy us. (because of their technical ability)
Is it this team that is going to be playing Aberdeen in the cup final? Apparently Aberdeen are massive favourites for it.He’s hopeless all our sides are tiny and regular get humped , we only look at technical ability don’t look at anything else

So who cares then, what difference does it make if we win games at under 13 level ?Well now we don’t produce players and also don’t win youth games ,
Any way you look at it, surely that’s a hugely concerning set of results…You need every aspect to become a footballer not just technical ability no point being skillful if u can’t run , our 16s lost 8-0 to hearts at the weekend with 2 over age players playing hearts had no over age players , our 14s lost 5-0 to hearts , our 13s lost 8-2 to sheep .

Absolutely… I was in West Germany in 1974 with Claremont BC from EK, we had four teams and I was part of the youngest u14 team, we won all our games 5-0 or more, our u16 teams games were much closer but both our u18 and u21teams were well beaten in all their games.We used to win all our games at youth level yet very, very few of these players progressed to our first team.

I don’t really have too much of an issue with that as long as it’s merited by effort , my thinking is if a coach doesn’t think a player is good enough to get equal game time then why is he then still at the club unless it’s down to physical reasons . You don’t develop players by having them sitting at the sidelines however players must learn a place in the side has to be earned and fought for sooner or later .Ill throw another grenade in even at 14 they look for everyone to play equal game time.
Aberdeen and Hearts currently have the best Academy setup's according to our own @elfideldo who sees and reports on many of these matches. His threads are worth the read - as depressing as they often are right now.Is it this team that is going to be playing Aberdeen in the cup final? Apparently Aberdeen are massive favourites for it.
