Gambo Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Great result and a great boost to the youngsters. 2-0 down away from home in a competitive game v a league team and coming back to win will be a great boost to them. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungry hippo Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Well done to young ones. Think tonight's results have shown it to be a great decision to invite the 20s teams in at this stage. I think we'd really struggle against a Championship side but great competitive experience for the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 A great result for them. They will be annoyed to lose 2 goals in the first half. But to turn it round is great. This will be the first time nearly all will have played senior players in a competitive game, very different environment from friendlies, so the two goals conceeded could be have come from that first taste. But the mentality to turn it round is very promising. A great start to the season and getting another game in the next rounds means more experience. Well done lads.

LarrysRightFoot Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Broken record alert. Under 20s/Colt teams should be allowed into the Highland and Lowand Leagues. Hopefully this is the first step towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambof3tornado Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I really think that group of lads have a real steel about them. Thought Paton was superb, Inving too. Rusty took his goal well as did morrison who was easily my motm. Reid got caught a couple of times as did Baur (although once was a slip),but Daly spoke really well to them throughout if they'd made mistakes. Mason I'm still not sure about. I've seen more consistent young keepers in lower leagues but having said that he made few good saves and decided early when he was coming for a ball. A favourable next round draw would be nice but on tonights showing we will win more games than we lose development league wise. Good to see ulster Andy quietly taking in all that was going on. Didnt notice Robbie but did see Mr Levein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt notice Robbie but did see Mr Levein. I'd largely agree with the above. Zanatta, Jones and Baur all improved in the second half, but it was Paton who kept us ticking over while Morrison was the biggest threat to their defence. All three goals were well taken, with McLean's curler into the postage stamp corner from 20 yards a peach of a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarrysRightFoot Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Draw is Thursday. Apparently you can play at neutral venues or anywhere you like. Yep some journo in the Daily Record was saying the new format is a joke and that was one of the reasons he sighted - amongst almost every single part of it. It's not perfect but it has generated interest and got people talking about it. This is only the beginning for the new format and we can test what works and what doesn't and change it going forward. I really don't understand some peoples negativity towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a nothing tournament to start with so things like this are worth a go and the fact half the 20s teams won tonight shows they were pitched in at the correct level.

Gav M Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Just to add, Zanetti had a really good run towards the end, did everything right in going past a couple of players and then round the keeper only to see his shot cleared off the line. Like the look (sound) of Jon daly, always talking to his players and explaining what he wanted from them. All round, an enjoyable game and my 4 yr old enjoyed spotting craig, robbie and stevie sitting just along from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The U20s don't have a game scheduled before the next round, so are likely to organise a bounce game before then. I understand that we have plans to take a number of youngsters on trial next week so that would be a chance to assess them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand some peoples negativity towards it. I think most, if not all, the negativity is caused by the strange decision to bring N-Irish and Welsh teams in at the latter stages of the competition. This could have been a really good tournament if it had just included the U20 sides but I suspect the decision to invite "foreign" clubs is to assist the bigot twins in their "dream" to feck off to the English league.

Bauld Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Does tend to make you question the value of the academy, but maybe it is the way to go. The value in the academy will be from bringing on kids from as young as 11-14 and developing them into first team players of the future. Right now we need to bulk up the development squad because there's a gaping hole been left from a few years ago when everyone wad fast tracked.
