  1. Just noticed that Reece Hands spent the season with Gainsborough Trinity (sounds like a West Indian cricketer) although he hasn't even been on the bench since December. Anyway, they avoided relegation by a single point, so well done to him after six glorious appearances in the National League North.

  2. I wouldn't class the International u-21's as "Youth Football", as most players at that level go on to play at a reasonable level and will already be playing the game at a decent level to merit their call-up.

    Granted there will be a few wasters in amongst them who'll amount to nothing despite being given all the right breaks, but the same could be said for any bunch of young lads eg. students, apprentices, army cadets etc.

    It's not always just failing to take advantage of their opportunities. Plenty are just not that good, despite their hard work, which is a byproduct of how the international system works.

  3. I'm not raging we didn't offer him something but I wouldn't have been raging if we had. Seemed like the sort of young player with potential that Duffy specialises in, and that is reflected in his NI call-up, but I presume Duffy has someone better in mind.

    Youth international football means nothing. Lawrence Shankland has scored twice for the Scottish U-21s and will never amount to anything. I'm pretty sure McManus has scored for them too.

  4. Fred may (allegedly) be a snake but that's quite the career he's made for himself. A pretty stunning rise for that club, too. They made their second division debut last season and their top flight debut the year after, and now they're Cup winners as well.
