Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 That team had knocked Bayern Munich out in the group stages. Think I also heard the commentator say it's the biggest win in the competition (think Real Madrid had won 6-0 a few years ago). We next play on Wednesday in the semis, which could be against Real Madrid. Could be excellent gauge to see how we perform. I know it's only one game and there are many factors to take into consideration but technically a lot of the youngsters looked really comfortable on the ball. Really pleasing to see. The future looks bright. Clemdog, Blue Rino and Escobar 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I remember during the lower leagues there was a wee guy with mad hair who played at HT with the U11s or U13s and was unreal. Is that the same guy who's playing today? I don't mean Young-Coombes obv. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are working on it and hopefully we will see it pay off in the near future. Considering we have had the academy for 18 years, the website lists these guy as graduates for the last 6 years: Lewis McLeod, Fraser Aird, Barrie McKay, Chris Hegarty, Robbie Crawford, Rhys McCabe, Andy Mitchell, Kane Hemmings, Thomas Kind Bendiksen, Ross Perry, Darren Cole, Jamie Ness, Kyle Hutton, Gregg Wylde, Andrew Little, Jordan McMillan, John Fleck, Danny Wilson, Andrew Murdoch, Tom Walsh, Danny Stoney, Luca Gasporrotto, Kyle MacAusland, Scott Gallacher, Calum Gallagher, Charlie Telfer and Ryan Hardie. None are still at the club (I expect Hardie to be sold at some point) and most, dare i contradict myself, were only given a chance due to our circumstances, so why are we not producing players capable of closing that 'gap'. Its not even just us, most of the young Scottish players have played for the U18s at some point and yet don't progress. The age old question of "Do i need to leave in order to make it" springs to mind. Just look at how Dave Bates is getting on, yes German 2nd league isn't as good as the budesliga but is the Scottish premiership any better?

Bates was pretty shite the vast amount of time he played for us. Only really started playing well January-his injury v celtic in my opinion. IE German second division - that is a league vastly full of absolute shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that this is not a problem that is unique to us.You have to take into consideration that we are a massive Club with high fan expectation. This means that we dont take as many risks with youth as lesser clubs do. We seem to be improving, though, which is great. billscott 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
