DOA Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Two reasons why player capable of playing junior choose to play amatuar 1 big fish wee pond they would rather look good every week 2 commitment they either don't want to train twice a week or can't make it because of work commitments and would be on the bench in a junior team and still be starting with an amatuar team. And they want to play with their mates,and they want to play local..etc,etc.Train twice a week ? Some don't train once a week.Seen more turn up at pre season amatuer training than at some junior teams.Seen a few guys come straight out of amateur to look good at junior level.Remember the guy is talking about at ADL level Where top amatuer teams would I think ,put in a decent showing.

Teams struggling need to stop taking has beens from juniors and take a look at amateur teams. And possibly save themselves a small fortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireAmateur Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Maybe not has beens but lower league juniors are dependent on guys coming from a higher league coming back the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardeer Boy Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 you got beaten by a second division aafa side pre season I'm sure? Like a previous post said in a friendly then maybe, on league business highly unlikely, pre season is always trial games for the juniors and amateurs alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireAmateur Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 It's not only hurlford and ksc that has decent players. Like I said before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOA Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Name these players that are that good , Ksc are average hurlford are the best team in Ayrshire but are nowhere near the team they where , here's a start mullin , gold , knapp , the usual suspects yes they could all play junior football but it doesn't make there clubs able to perform at junior level week in week out As you know though "junior level" varies widely.

AyrshireAmateur Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 The guys you mentioned would play higher than ADL. Like DOA said "level varies". Plus they ain't the only ones at that level in amateur, they are just known names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACK N RED Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Exactly so why not set out being optimistic and having high expectations ? To get that goal of promotion you have to at least aspire to gaining it and believe in it also !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnymalinkylonglegs Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 i just thought mr tibbs was a wee bit disrespectful to saltcoats,bigger club with bigger expectations he said,saltcoats have the same expectations.they dont appoint a manager and expect to win promotion the next season.these things take time.
