Never got that with Nick Collins Yeah, I think I first saw her presenting a National League game on BT a few years ago. I thought, 'Whoa, who's that?' Cute as fuck.

Kaizero Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) 15 minutes ago, gbandit said: Agreed, you take a look at some other countries with similar populations and it’s hard to understand how Scotland produce such poor players Using Norway as a comparison, we suffered from similar issues when Rosenborg won the league 13 seasons in a row. When you have one "good" team, that team essentially creates a monopoly when it comes to signing all the up and coming young players - meaning the nation as a whole end up losing out on tons of players that would've become at least half-decent footballers due to never making the grade and breaking through at the club with the monopoly. This is just an assumption as I am not too familiar with the Scottish league, but I can imagine something similar is going on in Scotland with Celtic and Rangers "hoovering" up all the talented young Scottish players, resulting in those not breaking through at those two clubs getting discarded without motivation left. After Rosenborg started falling apart, other clubs in Norway have become great at bringing through young players - which has led to us having more quality players than we've ever had. Just a shame we refuse to hire a manager that know how to utilize the fact we have a golden generation of offensive minded/technically gifted players, instead refusing to sack one of the most defensive minded/kick the ball at the big striker managers in Norwegian football history Edited June 23 by Kaizero Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think Sesko and Baumgartner are two very good players though They're basically a talent farm and scout good players but also have a very set style of play and ingrained footballing culture. This gives a good platform for players to develop but means they can struggle outside of that bubble. And the ownership means they will always ask for very good money for players. The combination of this means there is often not the value there that clubs perceive. Edited June 23 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll not have learnt Spanish in under two months, and the guy is a Villareal player Was meant as a dig at what the Chile manager said, not at you for posting it.

Beren Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Schar Utd are class though overall. Really enjoyed this tournament so far. Less glamorous names like Switzerland, Austria and Romania have been excellent to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
