Not sure if training twice a week with some tinpot outfit prepares them for day to day life as a footballer, that’s the job of folk like Rankin. Robbie Neilson had a stint out on loan when he was younger, did him no harm. Same as Jamie macdonald. I think the tangent you are off on is not the same I was making with my point. We wont learn as much from young players by playing them in meaningless friendlies. A young player going to train and play with a part time side may be an eye opener for a kid with a head full of dreams thinking they've made it by signing a pro contract. Could possibly make or break. Also a poor loan spell could make them screw the nut and knuckle down like a Lewis Moore for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranent to Brechin is some commute though Maybe Hearts are testing his character as well though, that in itself is a good sign. Send the lad to the Scottish football league hell, Brechin. Take him out of his comfort zone. Looking at it in a non childish way, i get it. Tough league will give him life lessons skills and of course being watched by Us. Hearts obviously rate him, if it is done to test him. Giving him the chance to play games he has to earn the right to be in.

I think everyone agrees that the CL era ended badly and a mess for reasons that have been covered in inordinate detail My views are that AB has sorted out a lot at the Club and deserves our respect, That doesn't mean I agree with every decision made but I think there are a lot of good things at our club that are positive and that Robbie will sort out the football side. I know you are both entitled to your opinion and I completely respect that, as I hope you respect mine. I just find sometimes the negative spin put on everything, particularly when we are all Jambos. I think if you look at the response to the general feelings of the fans, from Levein to the grudge we have against the SPFL and clubs like St Mirren and now the STs it seems our wishes are ignored and we are taken for granted. Our present situation, and that of the world in general is not that positive and until we start winning games on a regular basis I don’t blame anyone for being negative. Being lumped in with the bigots that Budge rightly banned, and has only scratched the surface with to be honest, is insulting in the extreme, and possibly the worst thing he’s ever called me, we’ve had a few disagreements let’s say. I’m just a moany ******* who wants and unfortunately demands the best at every step of and for our club, no matter how unrealistic, childish, petty, vindictive or just plainly absurd it may seem.

It's true that I dropped it much quicker than I would have if I was dealing with any old shop or brand. In that way, football clubs probably do take their "customers" for granted but then we're not really typical "customers". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving him the chance to play games he has to earn the right to be in.
