I believe he also picked up his first booking of the season .... surprise surprise!

i think youth teams are vital but it is the next step I am worried about. the development league was obviously a failure. these young boys will develop a lot earlier if they play alongside and against experienced players.

just my opinion but I think you will find the requirements of project brave (where this badge came from GOK) will be costing the club a fortune. it is all very well advertising we coach a huge number of players but the vast majority will not have any chance of achieving full time football. Charlie and his team broke all records in taking 10 into full time this year, for which they should be applauded, but I believe this was from an exceptional group (which may take decades to repeat). imo this is yet another hugely expensive exercise by the SFA and I will not be surprised to see it scrapped in a year or two. we need to develop players as quickly as possible and I totally agree with the SFA that a reserve league is the way forward. it is just a pity we don't have the vision or funding to take advantage of this opportunity.

by the looks of things Alloa and ourselves are the only 2 clubs from the top two leagues not involved. we are the only full-time team not competing. personally i think this shows absolutely no ambition to bring on young players.

nothing against that as long as they understand the business, invest and know what they are doing.

in a way I agree but that's why the club has directors. it is their responsibility to come up with answers and male it right.

i hear what you say but the young pros would learn a lot more and quicker when playing against and with men than they ever will in any u18 league.

I see we are not involved in the new reserve league. very short sighted in my opinion.

no no no. ...... his son?

my first bike was from the scrappies and my grandpa put racing handlebars on it. i thought I was Archie.

if only....... have you been talking to IHE?

thought as much ..... nose kissing.

Don't see him getting many starts then

Actually, I'm not that difficult to get on with but no doubt things will get back to normal ?

probably one of those footballer head butts where it could be mistaken for nose to nose kissing

he is not our player anymore so i suppose he can comment as he wants.

it's always down to bludy money with us

fs 5-2

Too old

I would just like to see financial stability, however that may be achieved.

as Donald would say: You people are doing a fantastic job - well done! Off to golf now but I'll take my helichopter.

here's hoping our goal scoring feats can be taken to the much higher level of league football. a good headache for robbo in deciding his starting eleven. the cup is another good opportunity to try out various options but i think he will already have a good idea of his starting eleven.

couldn't give a flying f about england. I'll be there.

I wouldn't have asked if I already knew.

Thanks CaleyD. If this board is raising 10's of thousands each year maybe our club board should take a leaf out of their book! OBTW who is Evelyn Brown?
