  1. I don't often post preferring to read others postings. I am somewhat confused and concerned by the statement. The way I read easdales Loan is on a fee basis but interest free, as it states it will be provided on a fee and interest free basis, very cleverly worded. Laxleys, is even more concerning . . . If they take their 1p shares just now, as I read it, they get 26.5 x £150,000.00 worth of shares, so instead of getting £150,00/26.5p = number of shares they are getting the 26.5 x their money, or if there is a share issue and the price is higher than 26.5p they get even more shares for their £150k interest. I may be wrong but that is how I read it
  2. Booze/nandos is a culture issue, I've got parents who drop kids off go to pub and come back for their kids, or they keep them away so they can get bevvied, how is that a coaching issue? This is what the kids see every week, every day in some cases, so how can grass roots coach that out? If it suited our type of player and we've been coaching these methods since 94ish, why is it that our players still can't do it? Surely we should be on to our 7th or 8th generation of talent who can play football? How do you teach a kid to pass a ball when they don't want to pass? How do you teach a kid how to pass when they don't know how to pass? (despite having been coached for over a year) You put the emphasis on grassroots, grassroots isn't paid, it's voluntary, you get the kids 1 maybe 2 hours a week, you need the parents to input to the development of the kids at that level. I give my kids homework practices, very few do them, the parents don't want to get the kids to do it or ensure the kids do it, for want of a better way to put it. I don't know if you are a parent or not, but if you are and your kid is at football training, do you put 30 mins to an hour in with your kid every night? Excuse me for assuming that the answer is no, then how do you expect coaches to coach it out of them? (only trying to make a point here about parents needing to help, not just in practice drills but culturally etc etc, sorry if it seems like I was being personal with you, only used as an example to prove a point)
  3. Prefer to read than take part in the forum, however this comment I partially agree with. You're right no one does know how to coach kids, but it's got sod all to do with beer, diets, grass roots. The problem, as I and many grass root coaches see it, we're trying to coach kids the european way, that does not suit our style of player. I've been coaching kids for over 25 years, we started this euro coaching around 94/95, we should have produced better quality players by now if we are to believe the coaching mantra of those who knew better. Prior to the introduction of this style of coaching the national teams were doing not too badly for qualification of tournaments. So despite what the SFA try to tell us, or the media for that matter, we have been using the euro methods in this country for years, without success, we need to ask why? League reconstruction, sticking plasters . . .none of it works. What does? For the euro methods to be a success they need to be taught from 4/5 years of age secondly, skills/drills need to be done over and over, the very basics pass and control (this is the biggest challenge, kids don't want to put the work in, they just want to be like their hero off the TV) Pro-Youth . . . wastes the kids, a vast majority turn in to billy big baws, I've got 6 year old kids training with a senior team, those kids now do not want to put the effort in, scrap pro-youth (in my opinion) or don't let kids train at senior clubs till 12 years old These are just my observations of a few areas where we have went wrong in the past 20 odd years
  4. Is it not the case, even taking EBT payments into account, that our 3 titles won under Sir Walter, Celtic's wage bill was considerably higher? If that is the case, then I would need to ask what advantage we gained?
  5. Struggled through, good read. Now what would our detractors say or do if they came across such potentially explosive information? They'd probably mount an email campaign to UEFA, in the name of sporting integrity of course
  6. Was told on Friday by accountant that RBS in last 6 weeks or so had become even tougher to deal with. Overdraft to be a maximum of 10% of turnover, don't know how accurate that is, but I can say that it is getting harder to get money from them. Re banks not touching Green, don't think it's Green, I do believe it's the turmoil we are causing that has put the banking situation we currently are seeing reported, on the newco's inability to get a major bank in place. However small banks can be more stable, remember Airdrie savings bank was the only bank not to suffer in 2008, so much so that the major banks wanted the ASB's money in 08. For me the jury is out on Green, as yet he has not done anything to make me want to support him, but then he hasn't done much wrong either. if we are not careful we will cause the implosion and self destruction of The Rangers.
