17 goals in just four games, only four in reply (one of them an oggy). That's absoultely fantastic. Was talking to a couple of the team recently, they are well up for this and want silverware. Go for it guys!!!!

Got over yesterday to see the game, took ma mate who is a Rangers man and he was shocked how poor Rangers were made to look.

 

The young lads' football, ie good short passes and making space was too much for the Rangers boys. Could so easily have been 6 or more with 1 stonewall penalty turned down.

 

Shows you when it really is a level playing field with no imported big money journeymen brought in by the old firm teams like Motherwell have nothing to fear.

 

Long may the passing game continue!!

very good team performance, with Pollock and Lawless the standouts. The mighty gers aint so mighty it seems and infact looked a very poor disorganised collection of players.

 

'That Hat' checked the Rangers website to see who the wee hitler on the touchline was, and it turns out he's the guru (director) of the youth academy Jim Sinclair. Explains alot, who would want to play football for that loud mouth fool.

when you compare the amount of players kilmarnock, motherwell, accies, hibs etc have brought through over the years, with that of the old firm, it shows just how little they give back to the game in this country.

 

Surely our two biggest clubs should set the standard and have the "ajax set up" on the go churning out youngsters year by year. They are a fuckin joke. Aw that money and fancy facilities as well.

the same thing could be said about arsenal, man u, chelsea and liverpool in the past five years. the moral of the story is young players are better off at smaller clubs.

To be honest Celtic and Rangers have produced quite a few players that have gone on to make a living in football, just not that many have progressed to their own first teams. Admittedly it is harder to break in to Rangers or Celtic's first team than it is to one of the other teams'. We just have to look at McLean, Hughes, O'Brien, McBride and Smith in our own team over the last few years.

 

It is great to see our youth development looks as though it is continuing to produce players but it is a pity we don't get to see any coverage. Before the demise of Setanta we were able to see thier games against the Old Firm on Rangers or Celtic TV and before Flow's 'transfer' to the club he occasionally posted highlights on here. I thought he hoped to continue to do this, albeit in a more official capacity, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's a copyright issue even for under 19s.

Many good things happening around the club at youth level just now with a lot of common sense being spoken and portrayed by our coaches at this level. Good to see many of the guys who watch the 'Well regularly picking up on this at youth games - the future is in good hands.

It's seems the fishel site doesn't mention it when we get beat in U19 games, only tells us how great they were when we win.

 

Is that not just down to when and where they've been played at times? With the best will in the world the club's media relations guy isn't going to be watching the U19's in a half-twelve kick off on the same day the first team are playing at 3pm.
