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.

    “This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, ‘This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!’ This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”

    Ive got some thing that will chime with Adams nicely:)

     

    Reminds me of that time, ” A way a lone a last a loved a long the rivverun, past Eve and Adam’s from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs”

  7. So Theresa May reckons she is going to last full term as PM …… have I missed something? Is there an asteroid on collision course with Earth and impact is imminent? Deluded doesn’t even scrape the surface of descriptions when finding a word to describe of this woman.

  9. Banned from the ex pat forum again, they really don’t like the truth, the latest count I must have been banned about 25 times from the forum for telling the truth, they haven’t quite got the handle on me changing e mails to register and obviously keeping the same isp, if they ever do suss it I will just have to block it.

  10. No fan of DUP – but those putting the boot into them should remember that old saying “people in glasshouses shouldn’t throw stones”

     

     

    There may have initial right on the republican side, but there were disgusting atrocities on both sides.

     

     

    The majority of Scots are/should be glad that the SNP bubble has finally burst – so happy to know that many of our kind finally came to their senses.

     

     

    No more Indy crap in my lifetime – thank God.

    Joyce, is fantastic, an amazing writer who captures things beyond the usual and the unusual.

     

    What a grasp he has.

     

    James Joyce can cheer you up, and make you frown…or anything he cares to do.

    I like this also, from Siddhartha by Hesse, “My real self wanders elsewhere, far away, wanders on and on invisibly and has nothing to do with my life”
