Hanshithispantz Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I forgot you can only win games with running. It's the Scotland U-19s. The reason we're stuck in this Scottish mess of s**** youth players being trained to be s**** and becoming s**** is because of this type of management. "We'll never win by playing properly, maybe if we run and tackle loads we'll not lose". It's an endless cycle of s***. They are just as likely to win by playing actual football, but the managers don't know how, so they claim it's just 'something they have to do'. Bullshit. Leaving the Real Madrid youth captain out is blood-boilingly f***ing annoying and stupid. Aye I agree, I was jurst jesting. I don't agree with Mole that "at that stage all that should matter is developing the kids talents" though. At this stage all that should matter is qualifying, actually playing in Greece will be far more beneficial to player development than a qualifier against the Czech Republic. Spragia's way of going about it is obviously backwards and wrong like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 As if we'll start playing football when/if we get there? All he's doing is developing the next Greenock Morton midfielders of this world. We have Jack fucking Harper, one of the top young talents in the world, and he's been left out for shite, minging guys from Dunfermline and that. Sick.

ben-nufc Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 As if leaving your best player out can be in any way a positive move. Imagine Wales leaving Bale out because he doesn't track back? It's almost exactly like the Pardew/Ben-Arfa situation. Shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spragia's way of going about it is obviously backwards and wrong like. But you can't just turn it on and off. It's culturally ingrained. You give it your best go doing it the right way, if it doesn't work it isn't the end of the world. You'll do the same for the next tournament but better.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I haven't even said anything contrary to any of this, man, I've even said Spragia's decision is backwards, wrong and that his outlook is appalling All I was saying was that results aid development at that level so you still have to pick a team you feel is best for each fixture. It's a bit of a moot point with Scotland and Spragia but I wasn't solely talking about those, just in general. Again, here Spragia's decision is obviously backwards and wrong and his outlook is appalling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 IN generally there's way too much focus on winning in grassroots football. Up until about 18, the biggest, fastest and strongest teams will win. My goodness. I absolutely agree 100% with this. The problem, or one of, is that kids go onto full size pitches way too early here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Going back to Sbragia, Danny Blanchflower was the man: "Glenn Hoddle a luxury player? No, it’s the bad players who are a luxury." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Going back to Sbragia, Danny Blanchflower was the man: "Glenn Hoddle a luxury player? No, it’s the bad players who are a luxury." That Sbragia quote is something out of the dark ages. Wonder if they know what sport they're playing. Seems to lean more towards athletics rather than football. The same school losers like Pardew came from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest n4e Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Looks like Robbie Williams' homeless, crack-addicted brother. Doesn't look well at all. I remember him having one spell for Villa where for something daft like 7 games in a row he scored a goal of the season contender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
