oh ah grantona Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 imo if i was a regular member of the reserves and this young lad got a chance ahead of me i wouldnt be happy and wouldnt be good for morale. Nothing against the young lad just think others could have had a chance with him moving to reserves, i dont even know if he has turned out for reserves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie-Brown Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 It should throw down the gauntlet to them to prove themselves worthy of a chance and also inspire them that if they are good enough they are old enough. However regards Robinson (unless he develops a bad attitude or gets injury problems) there is little doubt the lad will become a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against the young lad just think others could have had a chance with him moving to reserves, i dont even know if he has turned out for reserves I think its a good thing. IMO the reserves have been full of rejects for most of the season. Except Mole who's done well since coming back. But he was injured today.

oh ah grantona Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Some people are never happy eh ? nah im happy with youngsters getting chance but i find it scary we have to look to a 16 year old as our next best option why no kostantinov(sp) i know he may be havin problems but this could give him a lift just like glenn is getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy the young boys are getting a chance and long may it continue but i do kind of agree with the original poster that it's a kick in the nads to the 19's boys. However thats football.

Can't we just be happy for the lad - or is that an offence on kickback these days So Let me get this right The regime rate Robinson higher than these players but regularly start them above him or play those boys at reserve level as opposed to pom Pom was included because of the little love in people have been having for him and the record attached as opposed to being the most advanced of the youths otherwise he would be starting every week at reserve and u19 level before these boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well looking at the highlights of the U19s, it appears he's been starting the U19 games with Wallace, and McKenzie hasn't played for the U19s in a while. And Mackle is not very good as you've said yourself. Anyway, discussion finished. You've got such tunnel vision there's no point going any further.

Nothing against the young lad just think others could have had a chance with him moving to reserves, i dont even know if he has turned out for reserves The younger players must surely be inspired that some are getting the chance. For a while they must have wondered if anyone would get a look in. Pretty sure none of the 17s/19s were played prior the split Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 To me robinson was merely a tool to set a record today I agree with this part. It was a bit of a stunt to help ticket sales. However, I just do not understand how there is anything negative about our young players being given first-team experience. Robinson is only 16, Glen is only 17 or 18, there's a fair chance both of them could be here long after Romanov has gone. To bash their selection seems short-sighted to me.

Denny Crane Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 If the kid has shown talent beyond his years (as did Norman Whiteside at his age who went on to play in a World Cup a year later) then he deserves his break. Football should really be about how good you are not "how many years you've plyed your trade". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
