  1. It's a tricky one this.

     

    I can understand the notion of not posting heavy-ish defeats although there is obviously a kind of double standard with that.

     

    In general, there is probably still too much emphasis on results (not from most coaches though). It's also true that having a few more physically-developed players in a team can achieve better results, at ages 13-15 especially. Many boys clubs go down that road and, unfortunately, a few pro-youth teams also. Not saying that's true of e.g. Stenny but sometimes even one big lad who's a good player can be a real handful and make a huge difference in a game.

     

    As i said dont know many clubs that show results.But if we are going down the road of showing results we should show all results or none at all.and just for the record stenny are not a big team as anyone who knows young rodge will agree with.

     

    all the best to all the youth teams at thistle and i hope one day like all dads that young rodge pulls on that red and yellow shirt

  2. Just noticed the youth results on offical website.for some reason the under 14s result was missing.Stenhousemuir were the opposition and won wont give the score.why do we show results when our lads win but leave out results when our teams get beat????

     

    This happenend the other week when one of our teams were beaten of rangers.

     

    a few of the stenny players are thistle fans and i know they had mixed emotions as i did,i even had my thistle scarf on.

  3. young rodge is a ballboy.wasnt there last night as he trains with stenny on a tuesday.tad unfair i think on the ones that were there.for one terrible night kids not kitted out for conditions.Kids also do it for the love of it get nothing of club not even a programme.

     

    Has been a big tunover of kids aswell lately.so only a few have been there for a couple of seasons..One parent was at one point going to shout kid back into jh stand as conditions were that bad.

     

    hope it maybe clears up a few points.

  4. Worst thing for me was after the game jackie appeared out the dressing room before we had even lift the ground.What i watched today was the most ebarrasing performance from a jags team ever.You had to be there.Cairney and fox aside a total joke.

     

    Jackie cant change things striker for striker no change of formation..hands in pockets for 90mins.

     

    well done culter never tried to play any football but will never have it so easy.

     

    got a coupon up so things not that bad..

  5. How is Brown McMaster these days? And what is he doing with those "custodian" shares?

     

    He was at a sportsmans dinner in aid of stenny pro youth.Think he bid for a couple of things in the auction.By all accounts hasnt been well lately

  6. Super-sub Erskine!

     

    Nice celebration by the three ballboys after our 2nd.

     

    Yeah lads were over the moon with goal.young rodge plays with a few Falkirk fans at stenny so he was going mental.suprised he never run on the park!! him and gordies boy just cant enough!!! :thumbsup2:

  7. As someone whos name was taken on Saturday think it is time to bin said song or change words as jaggy thistle has done.Spoke to the 2 officers from strathclyde on sat and they told me 6 anti sectarian were at parkhead and the 2 of them were sent to watch us.They also said the old firm fans were just like shoolboys i.e Thistle sing that so we can sing what we like.

     

    Defo think they will try and make an example of one of us.

  8. Might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the RB in that defence would have been Graeme Robertson?

     

    I think he played for Dunfermline too. Blonde haired dude.

     

    think graeme was a couple of years before that.Funny enough he is now my sons coach and grant teirneys son is in the team as well. :thumbsup2:

  9. Think we have to have it.As someone whos son has played in the pro youth set up for the last 2 years it has a lot of plus points for a club the size of ours.Although i agree we also need a community side to it,which in turn makes us some money.and you may even get a couple of future players come through the community side.

     

    Dont always think that the best coaches are at pro youth level.have wittnessed over the last few months some really bad coaches which in turn had my lad turning down a years contract.only saving grace was they have left to go to a bigger club and my son was contacted by head of youth to go back,although he is still thinkig about it.

     

    You can even make some money if other clubs like your players with even under 12s going for 3k for every year they are in the system.
