I found this article to be totally distasteful for two reasons.
First, as already pointed out by the other posters, is that geographical location has made it more difficult for Inverness to tap into any networks being set up. Develop the local youngsters and blood them . . . how? Look at our youth teams and the leagues they play in. Are they not full of local youngsters? Why look solely at the first team?
Second, why were we singled out? It even notes that we had a higher percentage than the previous cup holders. Surely it should be looking at the current League / League Cup holders as after all, are they not the standard we are all supposed to be striving for?
The anti-Sneck lobby are making sure we know they haven't forgotten us. GOOD. In response to the report author - I continue to cheer on my team, the CURRENT Scottish Cup holders, as they compete on the unbalanced playing field of Scottish football by trying to stay within their budget and building the best teams they can with the resources to hand, be they home-grown or bought in.
We should be being praised for the number of local lads we have developed over the years that have gone on to achieve - not be criticised. If anything, we are an exemplar.
In short, get stuffed Alistair Gray. Go ask Celtic what they intend to do about it.
