We lost out in midweek to Ross County Colts in our Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup match which, while disappointing in losing the game, it was a cracking match and we were up against a decent side. Mark took the opportunity to change the team around and it gave Unfortunately, during the week they lost the a couple of younger lads a good run out. That’s exactly services of manager Brian MacLeod, but we all know how it should be. Some will argue that we should play that tends to fire up the players to show what they our strongest team in all games but at our level it isn’t can do to any new management team, so I am possible to play the same team week in week out even expecting a tough encounter this afternoon. if we wanted to.

How pleased were you with the way things worked out? Going into the game I was a little apprehensive. We had in total I believe nine players missing for one reason or another and we knew we lost twice to Wick last season, so this had all the makings for a very difficult afternoon. We started the game well and took it to Wick. We played at a tempo where it was difficult for Wick to play their usual style. The first goal was well worked and It’s difficult as I now have a squad where every player thoroughly deserved. After that we dropped a level has the ability to play week in week out, so we have to which gave Wick a chance to get back into it. The rest find the right balance for the team. I took players out of of the half was even but we managed to get an the starting team for the game against Formartine, important second goal just before half time. The players who were excellent against Wick, so they opening ten minutes of the second half were vital in the deserved another go. We could potentially play a game outcome. Wick had a chance right at the start but didn’t every midweek until mid September, so we have to take it and we went up the park and scored to make it utilise the squad, especially with the intensity we play at. Little niggles will be common so we must make sure three. We dominated the whole second half which was very pleasing and managed to add to our tally which was we pick a side who are fit and can play at 100%. Ross also pleasing. Some of the goals we score were excellent County had some excellent young players in their team. and it looked like we carried on our attacking form from They were very comfortable on the ball and knocked it last season which was very pleasing indeed. about well. We ourselves had a few young players and I felt for his first start, Logan Watt was excellent. He very That was followed up with an even better display at rarely gave the ball away and showed some great Formartine United last Saturday where you secured a composure. Andrew Hannar also put in a great shift and first league victory there since April 2010 despite both have great futures in the game if they knuckle down. I thought we played ok in the second half without playing with ten men for most of the second half. What impressed you most about the performance? playing near our best but should have made the extra man count more. We had chances to draw level, but it I think this result showed the different sides to us as a wasn’t to be. team. The Wick game was full of attacking play where we created numerous chances and showed our attacking Today sees the club take on a Clachnacuddin side who intent. Against Formartine, especially when we went have had a difficult start to the season and are now down to ten men, we had to be organised, soak up a lot under a caretaker manager. How difficult can it be to of pressure and stand up to them which we more than prepare against a team under those conditions? did. Over the 90 minutes I feel we deserved the win and in truth I feel we created a lot more chances than they Regardless of whatever situation is occurring at Clach, did. We were very dangerous on the break and should we will prepare like we always do as not once as a have scored one or two more had we shown a little bit player or manager have I ever had an easy game against more composure. That’s my first outright victory at them. They are young and energetic with certain players Pitmedden so I’m delighted to finally get that one off who will have no fear about coming to us. They also my back, but all the credit goes to the players. We had have a couple of experienced guys in their line up who a plan which we implemented perfectly but we didn’t will guide the youngsters about them so there is no way plan to lose a player so the way we reacted to that was I’m expecting an easy game. It’s hard to judge what to expect this early, especially with Clach not having a all down to the players on the day, very much including those who came on. It was a very good win but far too manger although I’m sure Brian worked tirelessly early in the season to get too excited about it.

  • Juvenile News 27
    Juvenile News Issue Number 27 Date January 2003 SFA Commission Review of Youth Football The SFA have appointed PMP Consultantcy to carry out a review of youth football in Scotland.The review will examine: 1. The existing mechanisms for the identification and development of football talent; 2. The respective roles of the SFA, professional leagues, clubs and other national and regional bodies; 3. Links to other SFA activities aimed at widening participation at school and community level. David Taylor, SFA Chief Executive, said: “It is apparent that our current football structures are not producing sufficient players of a standard to compete at the highest levels of the game. “Almost half of the professionals appearing in the SPL are of non-Scottish origin. This lack of exposure of Scottish players at the top level of the game may have serious long term consequences for the promotion of the game in Scotland, and may seriously diminish the future prospects of the Scottish national team. ”With the aid of independent consultants, we will examine the reasons for this and change our systems, processes and structures, if that is necessary, in the interests of the game. The consultants will complete their report within six months, and I expect them to come up with clear and comprehensive recommendations for the development of youth football in Scotland. ”I am heartened that this review has the support of all football authorities in Scotland. From this work, we expect to produce a Youth Football Plan for Scotland which will be the basis for major development projects to restore Scotland’s fortunes as a football nation.” Richard Callicott, UK Sport’s Chief Executive, said: “This type of project – looking to change and improve the way in which key sports agencies work together to a clear and common vision – is exactly what our governing body modernisation programme is all about.

A drab nineteenth century industrial backwater that the late twentieth century has not treated well. The city centre is a monument to the industry that made Belfast in the last decade of the nineteenth century the commercial nexus of the British Empire. More tonnage of ships were built and launched from Belfast in that decade than the rest of the world combined. Belfast factories, foundries and mills supplied the world’s most industrialised country with all its requirements and then some. In Toronto, late at night and early in the morning, I regaled people whose history begins when Belfast’s starts to decline with these tales. Then I come home and see what the city has become. Once proud industrial strengths now exist on the meagre scrapings from a government forced by cir- cumstance and political impasse to investing millions by way of welfare pay- ments and public investment. A people, skilled and able to build an empire, now inhabit sad and pale imitations of workplaces. Make work factories, Dilbert like offices doing the work for London and the South East of England and long queues at the dole office. The pubs and clubs have an ersatz look about them: fake Americana (‘we’re alright…’) or pseudo Old Irish charm.
