Thespence Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Is PM running the line at the U18 game today? An eagle-eyed linesman flagged after a corner had been cleared and told the referee that the 'keeper, Lewis King, had taken a swipe at someone. King was booked and then almost saved James Tavernier's spot-kick but the ball found the back of the net to get United back on terms. I wish! Mind I did line on the same fixture last season... Aye & I am sure you got greef off Nile. Also PM do you use the legendary gold 58 bus? You stalking me or summat? No I watch the odd U18 game & I have to get home Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The serious sound of our reserve top goalscorer the one & only I-Kass He's a good rapper, I've got some of his stuff on my PC, I didn't believe him at first when he said he did music on the side, and he sent me 2-3 tracks, really impressed. I don't think he'll make it though sadly. Our Academy seems a bit of a joke in all honesty, I'd love to see the club as a whole be more professional, this region as a whole has produced some good young talent over the years from Carrick and Taylor, Downing and Cattermole, and even further back Gascoigne, Shearer and Waddle. The sooner our club realises the importance of a good youth policy the better. It's not just a good way to get young players into the first team, but it's a good way of generating revenue by selling those deemed not good enough. I'd quite like to see a breakdown of how much money Man United and Arsenal have brought in from selling on academy graduates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'm not sure what it is with the club, perhaps its a fear of trying youngsters in the 1st team, but if they never get a chance we'll never know. 15 years ago we tried Watson, Clark and Elliott out and it turned out well for the club, they got between 5-10 years out of the players and a few quid when they moved on. Steven Taylor and Ameobi are the only two in the last 10 years to have really been given a chance, and even then that was due to injuries. Of the current youth crop, Inman, Vuckic, Ferguson deserve to be on the bench more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'd say Ramage was given "a chance" and Carroll has played a fair few games now too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Did he not have a good run of form for the reserves last year? Marwood I mean, I can't say I ever watched him for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlo knocked back Donninger at the start of the season which seems bonkers when you look at where they are, as they could do with at least giving a midfielder who has scored goals junior & reserve level a chance.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'd say Ramage was given "a chance" and Carroll has played a fair few games now too. Aye totally forgot about Ramage, Carroll and Ranger have only just started to get a chance this season due to injuries and circumstance, which I guess is more then they could ask for. Saying that, Carroll looked half decent last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really as Matty was one of the best players all the way through the ranks with his group. It was only after his knocks & his dad dying where he lost his edge & went off the rails. Troisi never stood out when I saw him he maybe he stood out for some with his long hair, alice band & he was Australian but he was never that good. Really its not if we have missed out on a good player ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really its not if we have missed out on a good player ffs Ah, I never said it was tbf, but Pattison was bloody crap for us, really really poor. Troisi can't be much worse, especially when you consider what has happened to their careers since - Troisi is playing well in the Turkish first division and Pattison couldn't get a game at Norwich and has fucked off to South Africa for some tinpot side.
