citydiehard Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 A bit of a contradiction ? Considering most of the loan signings at our level are youngsters who are not getting a game at their parent club , yet another contradiction ! Not doing too well here are you ? Where's the contradiction Could you explain why exactly ? I thought it was the manager's remit to get his team to win as many games as possible ? 4 wins on the trot is not bad going for any manager ..........let alone one who can alledgedly only win against Farfar !!

citydiehard Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Time to ignore this vile upstart and maybe he'll renew his Celtic season ticket and back to parkhead next season:) Rony Delia is just about as bad as Dodds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedintheBed Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Rony Delia is just about as bad as Dodds. Another person's name this idiot can't spell! I wonder if he can spell his own name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogs_Dollox Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 See what pissed me off yesterday - we win our fourth game on the trot and showed great character to come from behind against a very defensive side, yet at full time only a handful stay behind the applaud the team off the park. Everyone just scuttles away as soon as the ref blows his whistle, happens every week and I find it utterly bizarre! happens at Forfar too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe schmo Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I would outlaw loan signings and make clubs use youngsters. Would Brechin lose any influential midfielders if this rule was implemented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoriginalhedge Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Would Brechin lose any influential midfielders if this rule was implemented? Depends how you class youngsters. As I said the loan signings Brechin and Farfar have made are young lads from other clubs who are getting a chance of first team football and to prove themselves . If they didn't have this opportunity they would most likely be lost to the game completely . If the rule stated that each club had to play their own home bred youngsters even though the club in question could not afford a youth policy then it would be counter productive as they would struggle to compete with the bigger clubs for the signature of the more talented lads and the youngsters left over would not really be up to the standard required. The system at the moment is keeping smaller clubs going without them having the extra expense of youth squads . it is also helping the bigger clubs by giving the lads valuable game time . They also reap the benefit of the development fees when the lads progress and move on. As for your question , I think you know the answer. Thankfully though, the authorities know that it benefits more than just the clubs getting the loan players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have decent coaches the not so good youngsters can be coached to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Team in Angus Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Citydiehard You really need to grasp the money issues at our club whilst I do not disagree with your thoughts about bringing thru youngsters it is a costly thing to set up and takes a few years to pay dividends with no guarantees about producing anyone, Look thru the other Angus clubs how much home grown talent have come to their first teams via their youth set ups ? I can only think of Forfar at the moment who may have 1 possibly two that might make it. When Brechin did have their youth set up many moons ago I can think of no players who came thru to play regular first team football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoriginalhedge Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Bigger clubs get the best youngster ?? If you have decent coaches the not so good youngsters can be coached to get better. Why did Ryan Gauld not come to Brechin ? Why did John Souttar and his brother not come to Brechin ? Why did Ewan Spark not come to Brechin ? Because Dundee United cherry picked all the decent local players from the Brechin boys club team with the lure of premier league football. Also , if I'm not mistaken, this was around the time when Michael O'Neil was Brechin manager. If he couldn't attract these young lads then I don't know who could. Brechin had a youth set up not so long ago but I don't remember any lads breaking through into the main team. That is a huge strain on any club's budget when you get zero return for your investment. That is why Brechin no longer have a youth team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have good coaches they can coach the not so decent players to become good,so yes it is a shame the best youngsters pick the bigger teams but as ive said before the not so good can be coached better.

In theory that might be correct. Sadly our system doesn't work like that. Generally the poorer players tend not to get noticed and dwindle into Amateur or Sunday Pub football. Good coaches are at a premium and never stay in the lower leagues for long. As we have found many times over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
