You been down there before or first for you yesterday as well? 

Quite a few city fans milling about

Yeah first time.  Was surprised the amount of City fans there.

 

Will definitely go back.  Nice ground and the food and drink was pretty decent.

[Salieri]

I’ve watched Truro several

times at their old ground, first time at the new one and I was quite impressed. They’re a well run club with a clear vision of where they want to be. 
 

The game itself was very one sided which was disappointing, had a good evening though and yeah, there were quite a few Leicester fans about which was good to see. 

[Officer Doofy]

Just had the absolute piss taken out of me at work on a call about a game I didn't even realise had happened. 

 

 

Imagine making them travel to ****ing Cornwall for a midweek game in a shit competition.

They’re looking to get academy pathways in place so Cornish players (male and female) dont get hoovered up into the Argyle system.

 

Looks really good.  The new ladies team have been put into tier 8 but they’ve got a tier 5 side and tier 4 management.

Sounds like they're almost the opposite to our senior mens team.

 

We're in tier 3 with a tier 5 side and tier 8 management.

It's our own fault, we got given priority entry because we're a Cat 1 academy and no longer qualify for the EFL trophy because..... well you know the rest  

[lcfc sheff]

Forest made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Premier League v League One so no contest really.

For someone with such knowledge of our academy you’re very cynical about some of them 

Is that the same as truthful ?

Been consistent in my view about Lorenz and would consider Quinn a better long term prospect

Life under Top. 
 

The Seagrave dividend, a world class facility let down by the strategy of a dopey man boy.

You said Jake Evans would go on to have a similar career as Mcateer. One is already on 5 career goals at 18 and the other scored his first at 20.

Talent drain on and off the pitch continues

[ALC Fox]

To think how ours and Forest's fortunes have switched in the last few years.

 

And their owner is outwardly batsh!t. Ours, by contrast, is just incompetent.

 

Better to have a maniac who knows what he's doing than a guy who means well but can't do it, I guess.

You genuinely think Top "means well' ?

In a huge transition with players sold/loaned/in the 1st team squad. 

 

We have also lost a large number who have walked to other clubs like Motsi/Boothe etc.

Don't we have 3 of theirs playing in our 1st team?

Howell you could class as being still an academy player. Watson and Doyle are in their 20s and not academy players for the last 3+ years

Somehow this won't be the most depressing thing I read on here today. 

 

I presume he'll recommend a few of our better prospects too.

I would guess he won't be allowed to do that, I bet there is some sort of ruling or contract agreement that he can't do this sort of thing. But wouldn't be surprised if it did happen.

Sorry didn't realise they had both finished there careers and so there was a definitive answer on who was best

Do you have any idea on the injuries Kasey suffered during his latter teenage years ? No thought not

If you are trying to point score when it comes to Academy players then I kindly suggest you do a bit more research before spouting nonsense
