Dilemma of youth development

1406

I know squad numbers are limited but I’m disappointed Eoghan O’Connell has not been retained. In his performances early last season he displayed the attributes of a modern-day footballing central defender. He has a future in the game and will do well wherever he goes next.

The perennial dilemma of youth development is that while teams want to improve performances NOW, they also need to leave space for worthy development squad candidates to grow into. Kieran Tierney got there, but the truth is, Celtic had been trying to sign a left back for year but were unable find anyone of the necessary standard. If we did, Kieran, Eoghan, would never have had the chance.

    Exiled

     

     

    The funny thing is that Ibrox Noise is one of the more “high brow” Hun sites,no bad language and they even have a regular poster who sees through King and has been calling him out over his dodgy dealings,

     

    Needless to say he gets called a timposter and told to go back to whatever tim site he came from

    With regards to Jesus,why did he turn unpure water into wine rather than clean drinking water which would have been a lot more beneficial to the people?These kind of tales would make you think some of this bible stuff is made up as they go along.By folk who drank a lot of wine.

  3. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Wasnt Jesus the King of Edessa?

     

    And why was a Mexican in Turkey in the first place:)

    come on lets row back a bit

     

     

    They are many devout people of faith on here,we shouldnt offend them.

     

     

    Plenty of other legitimate targets to make fun of rather than a man who asked us to love each other.

    I see what you mean. Maybe Lazarus was just comatosed

    WITS

     

     

    Cuts both ways doesnt it.

     

    I find religion offensive and violent.

     

    Thats only my opinion of course.

     

    DUP for example….what kind of religion do they profess?

    I might very well agree with you but I just think in fairness to the many on here who are devout practising catholics thats it not fair to go down that road

     

    I am also conscious that I probably started it with my reply to Maggie about Jesus and the Cripple

     

    As for the DUP,

     

    well what can one say

  8. BABASONICOS71 on

    WITS…

     

    I’m sure omnipotent,all loving God won’t be too bothered about wee me having a dig at his empire.The last being that needs hawners is God,shirley?

    Of course he wont and I dont mean to come across all puritanical,I accept its only a bit of witty banter but see my earlier reply to Green Man

    Maggie

     

     

    Didnt a US professor get dismissed from college for using the word Niggardly

  11. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    WITS

     

     

    Ok….now, moving on, lets talk about the Mound Builders, the Serpent mound in Ohio, and the City of Cahokia in Illinois:)

    Five Celts in the starting eleven. Challenges and opportunities ahead. Scotland played as well against Slovenia as I have seen them recently, good team performance and needed again. Really hope the Griff gets two or three good chances. And pleased Wayne Rooney isn’t playing, he knew the way to goal against us. Looking forward to it!

    In a valley a few miles away from me there lives a hun, a hun from Belfast no less, ex army and a total twat, saw him at the market this morning asked me what I thot of the election result, said that everything would have been fine had the torys no made a pact with the devil, strange thing is he had to go home suddenly, I kid you not.

     

    Anyways, can’t get the head around how thick the huns are, they run virtually everything that controls the nation, the media, polis, judiciary, government etc, yet they believe that things are never their fault, it’s always the fault of Timmy who doesn’t control the nation, mind boggling so it is, another thing, what is it with thems always wanting to shoot the messenger that bears bad news, you would have thot that after all the bad news they have had over the past few years they would see a pattern emerging, but no, I blame the schools.

     

    May it always stay that way.

    Hope they both lose.Heavily.

     

     

    The Ref is a buffoon with a fine history of having absolutely howlers.

  22. Why are TV3 in Ireland showing the Scotland v Engerland game? Here’s a clue. It’s not because of any interest in the Scottish players.
