Yes both were.

Payment and possibly a foothold in the media I suppose.

AAAAAHHHHHHH I looked.

He has 1 chance. No chance!

Well said Sir!

I think it is because the background is purple as well It doesn't stand out so much.

It is certainly him.

As I said before it all depends on the conditions and criteria that you are looking under. You can change that and the result will give you an answer that fits that criteria. Brechin city may have all players playing that came through their youth system does that make their youth system better than Ajax? You can bend it any way you want.

They were only second in the European research so that means we are far better than them.

Do we need an Alan Turing decipher machine for this?

I think there are plenty of trainings for changing direction you can do with a ball craig which are better than running between cones or whatever. you can put 2 players about 5meters apart who have to pass to a 3rd player. He has to sprint, pass back, turn and sprint to the other player and repeat. This means you are teaching turning, short sprints and building up stamina. If a player does this about 10 times he has just sprinted about 40-50 meters without realising it I believe you can cover all training with a ball although I did some fun things at the end of some sessions such as piggy back fighting, and trying to push each other over a line just to add a degree of fun. I trained an under 15 selection team for a number of years. I am talking from my own experience now and I also believe that young players should be looked at by a sprint trainer at a young age. It is my view that many youngsters don't make the grade because they have a completely wrong sprint technique. I was always considered slow until I was shown I was taking too many short paces instead of taking less longer strides and covering more ground. Andy Murdoch springs to my mind here as I feel he is in bad need of a sprint trainer.

And taped his mouth first so he couldn't talk so much shit.

Seems to play very deep. Luckily he completely miskicked the ball for his goal.

No football training should be without a ball that just shows what coaching dinosaurs we have had at at the club recently.

At the end of the day I noticed that too.

I now hope punted! This statement speaks for his displays. No belief in success.Sorry mate Rangers players should at least expect success.

I am totally fuming at this statement if he really did say it. What a way to try and justify his own poor performances. This afternoon I was all for giving him a chance under Warburton now I only want him to see the door.

I think you are both arguing the same point with different criteria. You are looking at success for Rangers and TB is taking the point of view to bring a player through to the professional ranks is a success. You are both correct depending on how you are looking at it. The international way judging performance is how many players are playing prof in Europe so TB is correct on that one.

In a recent survey Ajax were found to have the best Acadamy in Europe as they had 69 players playing across Europe who came through their youth system. Going back to my other posts that number is a red herring as Ajax probably didn't develop a lot of them but do claim to have. Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld being an example as they only joined Ajax as older youth players. Now I will be honest here and Ajax do have a working relationship with Germinal Beerschot so it is possible Ajax were steering them at an earlier age but both were in fact Belgian youth internationals before joining Ajax as older youth players who were developed in Belgium. The Ajax academy does take the credit for for developing them in the survey so in my view it is not totally fair. There are many more of the 69 players who only joined Ajax at a later youth age.

I am pretty sure it is judged on the amount of players playing in prof football that Ajax were supposed to have developed. The fact remains many of the players Ajax claim to have developed they didn't in fact develop. If you look at the Ajax team now as sir Barr. did then it looks impressive with nearly all their players coming from their youth system. It is only under closer scrutiny that you can see that most players only played in young Ajax and never played in any other youth team for them. What Ajax did do at an early stage was put a scouting system in place that covered far and wide while other teams were only concentrating on local talent. Personally I don't really care as I don't support any Dutch team but i am just trying to point out that the Ajax youth system is not as great as it is made out to be, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feyenoord_Academy_%28Varkenoord%29

Just to reiterate Ajax also buy youth players in at an older age and present them as their own. Feynoord have been voted the best football academy in Holland for years in a row.
