WishyWell Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 If Heneghan has played for the 20s, it has only been a couple of games when he first arrived, and would have been as an overage player. Chalmers has only played a handful of u20s games since he joined us and also as an overage player. Jules is young enough to play for them but as far as I can remember hasn't done so.

Andy_P Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 In the dim and distant I must have signed up Supporters Direct Scotland emails. One came in today which might be of interest in terms of the Project Brave stuff we've discussed in recent months.... Stewart Regan to Address Supporters on Project Brave at Supporters Summit Supporters Direct Scotland (SD Scotland) are pleased to announce that Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan will address supporters on ‘Project Brave’ at its annual Supporters Summit. The event, held on the 19 March at Hampden Park and open to all supporters, will see Mr Regan address supporters about the Scottish FA’s proposals to radically change the fortunes of the Scottish national team. Project Brave, designed to overhaul Scotland’s youth academy sy stem, is being led by the governing body’s new performance director Malky Mackay. It will see Scotland’s 29 elite academies reduced to a maximum of 16. Mr Regan will then participate in a question and answer session along with other speakers addressing delegates. Scottish FA Chief Executive Stewart Regan said: “Project Brave is a project that will benefit all of Scottish football. We have been pleased with the progress of our strategy so far, both with the performance schools and our national youth team successes, but it is important that we look at the most significant part of that pathway – the club academy system. “Everyone in the game acknowledges that for a country of our size we have too many elite academies. Best v Best is one of the funding pr inciples of the strategy and so looking at fewer players in the structure, with a more focused games programme, will allow more investment in the most talented players. That, in turn, allows those not playing regularly for their academy teams to play more often and, ideally, rejoin that pathway “I look forward to discussing these proposals at the Supporters Direct Scotland Summit later this month.” Andrew Jenkin, Head of SD Scotland, said: “We’re delighted Stewart will be joining us on the day. It’s crucial that supporters are engaged in major changes to the game we all love and that they have opportunities to ask the necessary questions”. The Supporters Summit is the only national event that brings all supporters tog ether to share best practice, hear from a range of speakers and engage in workshops that they otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to do so. Also speaking at this Supporters Direct Scotland’s flagship event are: The Guardian’s David Conn – he will discuss the future of community ownership in Scottish football Foundation of Hearts ‘ new chairman Stuart Wallace New Supporters Direct chief executive Ashley Brown Attendees will also have the opportunity to attend a range of workshops including informative sessions on or involving subjects such as: Supporter Liaison Officers Equality in Sport Training workshop on Fan Representative This year’s Summit w ill also see the launch of the 2017 Scottish Football Supporters Survey. 14,000 supporters responded to last year’s survey, with results and key asks being presented to the Scottish FA Congress. During recent weeks all key stakeholders – Scotland’s governing bodies, professional clubs, and supporters – have all been invited to contribute towards the survey’s content. Tickets for the event are available on a ‘pay what you want’ basis from the SD Scotland website with proceeds split between the organisation’s charity partners for the event ‘Football Memories’ (part of Alzhemier’s Scotland) and Motor Neurone Disease Scotland.

CMWellfan Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 SFA source laughed at the notion of Hamilton trumping Motherwell in terms of Project Brave. What he did say was that Motherwell have a "loner," attitude to development. He has helped just about every club in Scotland except Motherwell. He mentioned that there is funding available to have players sent overseas on loan via the football education trust. He bit at the idea that our under 20's should be out at summer football clubs, and reappearing at Fir Park in November/December. Said it was easy to arrange and any manager would be pleased to see fit, newly experienced young players appear on his training ground mid-season. The only cost to the club would be the flights and hotel cost to monitor our players overseas. Said the best way to do it would be to arrange the funding a season in advance, and apply every year for additional funding. ................ Side note - he mentioned that the primary role of development squads is to prepare players for a career in professional football. He said that the Old Firm get a lot of stick for not bringing players to their first team, but pointed out how many former Old Firm youth get a career elsewhere. To that end - he said consider every player developed by Motherwell who has a career in professional football as a credit to the clubs development programme. No matter who they play for, and no matter what level. He said these days becoming a first team regular for the club is a welcome bonus due to the amount of predatory clubs snapping up promising youngsters from academies. It would be interesting to see a list of professional players developed by Motherwell.

Kmcalpin Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Wonder if Dunfermline realised the boy Duthie who was apparently impressive was also supposed to be suspended for the game today, be interesting to see if any sanctions come for the boy playing and scoring the winner. Result annulled today. We've been awarded a 3-0 win. Now top of the league! http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2017/03/07/development-league-result-annulled/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Superwell Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 “To be fair, they were straight on the phone to us and the league after the match." I was at a meeting at fir park on the night we lost that game and flagged it up with Alan Burrows but I'm sure Dunfermline did contact as well.
