Brazilianlex Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Bit awkward when it turns out that our stongest 11 without injuries has more home-grown players than Cowden :-/ Really ? What would be your strongest 11 then. I didn't include Dean Brett who is another youth product but didn't play sat. My point was Pars were playing many young players to their credit but not now. Personally I don't think Johnston is a manager who develops youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I hope we sacrifice our 9 point gap at the top of the league and go back to playing inexperienced youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdoch (HG) Williamson (HG) - Fordyce - Martin (HG) - Talbot Paton - Geggan - Falky - Cardle Moffat - Fez (HG) Subs Hutton Cheesy BRE Byrne (HG) Hopkirk Wallace MAC I'm sure a few would rate Cheesy or BRE ahead oof Martin, but from what i've seen Martin looks more composed than Big Ben and I think it's too early to say that Cheesy is better than him. Regardless, as has already been said, we've been shown exactly what happens with a team full of youngters, while being good players they lack the experience and mentality to maintain a high level of performance.

Brazilianlex Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Wasn't aware of Murdoch being home grown and I wouldn't count fez who was touted about by an agent. For me, home grown means thru the academy or a football apprenticeship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, home grown means thru the academy or a football apprenticeship. Murdoch came through the academy. We are the first and only club that he's ever played a game for, but there's no point in arguing over semantics. The point is that the majority of fans are happy with the chances we are giving to our young players and the overall scheme is clearly working to boot.

Not saying he was home-grown in the traditional sense but I'd say he counts as a young player being given a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMessiah Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Are Cowden still trying to point score? Chortle, precious wee lambs. We've broken through the money laundering, drug dealing, granny shagging, diving, cheats and have reached the "you don't play enough academy players" shtick.

HenryHill Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 You joke but that's still a greater accomplishment than winning the Fife Cup. I know. That was one of the many debates I was referring to. It does my nut. I don't follow my team because i hope it is bigger/smaller or less successful than any other club. Still, I suppose that wouldn't leave much to argue about then, so alphabet champions are we! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It's good that there's no league games for a while - this thread can just run and run. I enjoy our lectures from the fans of the team that spunked all the good money they were raking in last year on Jimmy Nic and his gash signings, leaving them barely able to cobble a team together for the start of the season.

True. Might be a lesson for the Pars there tho. Championship wages are ridiculous, particularly if there is a big team in the league. And I wasn't referring to the Pars !

Jimmy85 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 To be honest I'll likely not bother attending the game when we clinch promotion. Much like I wouldn't bother with Fife Cup games or Challenge Cup finals. It's beneath us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
