chester copperpot Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 My wee lad has been picked for a trial for an SPL outfit in goals. He's been a standout for the Campsie Blackwatch under 6's since moving through to Glasgow, has been offered a trial for the U-8's of an SPL team. He's been very unwell with his asthma of late, so this has cheered him up no end. Good luck wee man. Am chuffed to bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Who is it CC? Just bear in mind that pro clubs have a knack of putting a kid off football for life by the way they drop young promising kids. The most vital thing is he is enjoying his fitbaw for years to come.

chester copperpot Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 The people on this thread are right. Had a real hard time admitting it would be good for him, but at the end of the day, its going to be quality coaching for him from a top class team. I may even have to stop singing the 'Song' at Parkhead now. Its going to be hard if he's successful, but he's so far ahead of the boys in his age group I cant see it not happening. Its a guys worst nightmare, but I'm confident that he would not have been found at this age over in Edinburgh. Please no jokes tonight about that comment as am pretty proud of him.

Get him training at their admittedly very good looking facilities. Next big thing at age of 18. Defect to the Jambos. Sorted In all honesty as long as he enjoys it is all that matters.

hughesie27 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 As you have already said the amount of lads who won't see there playing days past 16 is huge. Hopefully they will brainwash him until he gets to that age so he sees nothing else but a life in football and he will make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bear in mind that pro clubs have a knack of putting a kid off football for life by the way they drop young promising kids. The most vital thing is he is enjoying his fitbaw for years to come. That type of thing happens to many but those kids with level-headed, considerate, non-impulsive and sober-judged parents never have problems. Good for him to be spotted so young - make sure he goes to training with his Hearts sock and shorts on. HMFC rucksack for his kit and given him a Hearts crest tattoo for good measure. Middle of his forehead will let everyone know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Brilliant news bro! Hospitality at all the Hearts games mind!!!! Oops forgot to let you know. TBH, wanted to make sure the transfer went through before the end of the transfer window. He's done brill since moving through, the news has made him have a swagger tonight. Hate the Cellick with a passion, but will support my son 100% and then get him to move through to a big team in Edinburgh once I've made sure I've used all Cellick's resources to make him as good as he can be.

loveofthegame Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 My wee cousin was also being courted by the filth. He's slightly older (9) but is a different gravy compared to most of the boys his age. I was furious that Hibs, Celtic and Rangers were all watching him but Hearts weren't (die hard Jambo family and live in Edinburgh). I made my feelings known on here, received a PM and after a little bit of communication on here Hearts were watching him a couple of weeks later. He trained for a year and has just signed on for the next 2years. He even scored at Tynie, he was one of the wee lads playing at half time of the Airdrie game. Like you CC, i am incredibly proud(you can tell by how often i mention it on here). The fact its Celtic should not be seen as an issue at the mo, esp as you live in the West. My cousin trained with them last year and the facilities and level of coaching were both top class (so much so that he had a tough decision picking Hearts). At his age its 1) just great hes been picked up at all and 2) of most importance that hes getting a good level of coaching and is enjoying himself. Theres a long time for him to defect to us if he does turn out to be the next CG!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest S.U.S.S. Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Pleased for you and the wee man mate, now get him a Hearts tattoo!

Ba Baracus Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Aye very good. Good news mate, my laddie is ten and played in goals since same age as your boy, its now he is starting to get bored in goals. Im sure that happens with a lot of laddies who if they had stayed goalie they may have had a chance. I try not to put pressure on but he thinks he should be in the hearts first team no patience ! Great for your boy to say he trained with them no matter what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
