Its fucking freezing aye, but theres no wind, rain, snow. Decent night for fitbaw actually (in Scottish professional football terms) as long as you keep running around, dont have exposed skin and the surface doesnt freeze. Because it's supposed to help players develop their footballing skills, not their cold weather survival skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Waldo Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Stuff that crap - get him in the team - 100 games under his belt by the time he's 20, sell him for a million (well Accies seem to be able to do it) - if he's good enough he's old enough. I know yer right, I think I feel sorry for him, playing against grown ups.

Aye, I think our "no transfer fee" policy hurt us on that front as often the youngsters cost something to bring in. I could understand that policy given the finances, but sometimes a little bit of cash wisely invested is what's required. Seems like the new owner is keen to adopt the investment approach.
