ollie1903 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Shame your loon is injured, would have been great experience getting a steady run. Hope he recovers soon!Cheers Dazzy. He's getting there. Almost back to full training. Had the opportunity to be in the squad today but he's nae quite ready. 16's have a friendly v St Johnstone on Sunday so he's aiming for a run oot in that if he comes through training tonight and tomorrow.

ollie1903 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Was he the lad we only recently got permission to play?Aye, fought a while for a work permit. Got injured pre season in Portugal and that was his first game back on Tuesday. Link to comment
The Cockney Don Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 bet365 odds : County 4/5 - Draw 14/5 - Dons 13/5. Done 'both teams to score' on my acca (in shop). Link to comment
ollie1903 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Dons team v Ross County: Craddock, MacPherson, Wells, S. Ross, M'Bayo, Roscoe, McLennan, Anderson, Dangana, Antoniazzi, Norris. substitutes: Mutch, Robertson, Hutchison, Taylor, Chicken & Chesser .Tyler and Jack. Super talented. As above, Tyler probably would have had an opportunity to be in the squad before now in my opinion, but was out injured for a while. Jack is an U16 but has been playing for the 15's this season to build himself up again, due to also having some long term injury bother. Link to comment

Tommy Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Aye, fought a while for a work permit. Got injured pre season in Portugal and that was his first game back on Tuesday.I knew there was a player getting talked up but a work permit was an issue.He must have something if they have been so patient.Speedy recovery to your loon.

The Cockney Don Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Few efforts there on goal from the young dons, still one goal down.Dingwall scored for them so perhaps they've got a few first-teamers playing(not seen their line-up). Edit : it wasn't Dingwall who scored, aberdeen twitter feed cock-up. Link to comment

BWG Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Another loss. McGhee was sacked for less. Well aye but the youth team manager should surely be judged on the quality of player he brings through to the first team. Oh, right... Link to comment

Pudgie Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just saw some arsehole, wanker, cuntface suggest disbanding the whole youth setup because it's a waste of money because our players only go on to play for Formartine and Morton. You know, apart from Fraser hitting up the EPL, Fyvie at Hibs and 5 of our last squad coming through our youth system. Link to comment

You know, apart from Fraser hitting up the EPL, Fyvie at Hibs and 5 of our last squad coming through our youth system. How much money has it made us though? I don't agree but there is a legitimate argument there. A lot of clubs down in England are going a similar route and instead just have a reserve/development team which play private games.

Plus, if we stop producing youth players then do other clubs stop as well? Where do we get our players from then? Link to comment

Plus, if we stop producing youth players then do other clubs stop as well? Where do we get our players from then? The way Brentford do it is they have a "B" team which is made up of 20ish players signed from other clubs academies, a bit like Dylan Thomas etc, and they train with the first team and play their games in regular friendlies. The argument is that running an academy is extremely expensive for little pay off and when a player of quality is produced (Ryan Fraser in our case) they fuck off and the club receive not very much. Whether this is a good system or not remains to be seen and I'm not sure I'd like to see us do the same. I do agree that our youth system, as it currently stands, is not providing value for money.

Academies aren't going to go away but for clubs with less resources, such as ourselves, it's maybe something to be looked at. Link to comment

That would mean 40, possibly 41 Scottish clubs would be without it. Scotland would be without 19 of their last squad of 26. But Scottish clubs don't produce players so what's the point...
