Guest ScottMann Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Disgraceful. Yet again the domestic game bows down to what suits the Old Firm. The SFA should say simply say that these are the dates, if you can't play on them then you're out of the tournament. But of course it's Scottish football.

OldPoster Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Scottish should still take priority really, No matter if you are U9, Playing Ammies or Juniors the Scottish is what everyone puts in their calendar right away fazman1977 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstand Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Played really and deserved the win. Thought they dominated the game until Rangers went down to 10 men and they started playing some quite good football compared to the long ball over the top and turn the defence game they played in the first 60 minutes. Nothing to fear in the next round they put them out of the cup previously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Beating both youth sides, as they're trying to bully their way into League Two, would be immensely pleasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Ferg Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Great result! Did anyone who was there happen to notice if they rolled up in a fancy Parks of Hamilton coach? When we beat their u20s at Forthbank last year Saints arrived in the obligatory mini bus and they arrived in a style they can't afford the deluded clowns!

70saint Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Yes they did arrive in a luxurious Parkes bus. It funnily enough was the first thing we noticed, then we commented on our mini bus. However it didn't do them any good.

Cagey It is difficult to judge the boys on one game, or 2 as far as this season is concerned. Hoodlum sees them a lot more than I do but I think they play a good style of football and try and get the ball down and pass it. I like the young lad that was playing up front who them moved out wide for the last 20 minutes, None of them that I would say are ready yet to play in the first team but plenty potential given that most are I think first year under 20s.

As you say Mainstand, this is the first year in the u20 for most of them who are performing well against mainly older guys. They have progressed as a team through the age groups and play as a team, rather than being individually brilliant. In a post a while back I mentioned Alistair McCann (midfield) who has turned out at right back and centre back and is a good creator & passer of the ball. Also I like the look of Docherty. There are others that are still developing. Blessed with good goalkeepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Sevco were granted a years sabbatical from playing in the u20 league, to enable them to play against better sides, thus enabling the players to make the transition from u17 academy level up to first team and helping the National team at the same time.

Blessed with good goalkeepers. i had the pleasure of going down to kelty park yesterday to watch the game ,saints were excellent Shaun struthers led the line very well ,hes a strong physical player who knows hes not the fastest player so adapts his game to suit that,bally (10) was also very good ,the lads who just went up from 17s to 20s this season all played well ,as did the older ones but this was my first time watching them play ,on the subs bench was 4 16 year olds ,john Robertson( striker )full time in the academy ,Kyle wolley (midfield )in most days ,eggy cant remember his name is a left back capped for scotland also ,and kyle green ,midfield who is now in full time also . rangers were poor yesterday but that was down to saints ,they worked so hard off the ball and they thoroughly deserved the win ,Celtic away in the next round and i think the 20s are playing Partick thistle on Monday and the 17s are playing Celtic on Sunday someone asked if any are good enough to step up to first team ,given the chance i think all of them would be ,if you look at Dundee with the young lad henvey (ex saints academy player) and harry Cochran at hearts and a few other very young lads scattered about ,if u have faith in them and trust them and they can play ,then put them in the first team its the only way they are going to learn and progress more . last thing was speaking to a few lads down there and they said the 20s are far better when 1st team lads are not playing HOODLUM65, sixties saintee and McCarry One Nil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 What is the story with Henvey? @sevcozombie2 Was he released by Saints or did he leave through his own choice. I remember seeing the name when a few players had Scotland youth trials a few years ago. I think the older players serve their purpose in the Development League (it'll be the Reserve League next season) but they have to approach the matches with the same commitment as the younger guys.
