S8 & Blue 3225 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 On 09/10/2020 at 11:58, JoeH said: It should be stamped out between the ages of 16 to 20. Youth development is about developing young men with the class and respect that we saw from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and those who can't act responsibly and represent their county properly should be weeded out for me. I’ve probably mentioned before about being stuck on a flight from the US in the middle of the Man Utd u-17s squad and staff. An absolute shitshow of selfish, entitled, disrespectful, arrogant billy big bollockses making life hell for flight crew and passengers alike. And that was just the staff. Makes me all the more proud when we see our kids come through and they seem like good eggs that fit in well with the honest values and team spirit that we have.

chaddyrovers 6309 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Interesting comments from Eric KInder's interview that Souness and Hughes weren't interested in Youth Football. Lambert left it Rob Kelly who was really interested in youth teams. and Bowyer and Mowbray were very interested in the youth teams. Also talks about shipping out alot of youth players when he and Bowyer was at the club and talks about these Portuguese players who were never good enough, Praised the owners for the continue investment in academy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He also has Dutch nationality too though, dunno if FIFA does dual nationality like FM. Hopefully his brother Nathan, who is in the younger age group, keeps coming through at Rovers too. Their dad is a huge Rovers fan, used to travel from Holland for pretty much every game when he was working out there.

philipl 7032 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Southampton ran a live video stream last season- they offer a free live service at https://www.southamptonfc.com/b-team/matches/2020-21/saints-vs-blackburn-rovers-2020-10-18 but I don't know if that includes video.

chaddyrovers 6309 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Billy Barr doing a very good job of the under 23's level. Some good prospects at that level for the 1st team in the coming seasons Quote Link to post Share on other sites
