How so very predictable the responses from the likes of Albertan have been. OK let's spell it out for you as you are too dense to understand and here's the challenge:
1. One of my detractors to post up here a thread where I advocated trhowing in the entire youth team.
2. Did I or did I not argue during the summer we needed a "Dave Mackay" type player to orchestrate, cajole and direct the youngsters ? Russell is not and was never going to be that player.
3. As I recall it I argued for 3 youngsters to be thrown in i.e. McLaughlin, Mayor and Proctor. One of you tell me how that constitutes the entire team being comprised of our youths ?
With regards to our youths even I know that we now can't throw them in. The time isn't right because they are surrounded by clowns. And if it comes down to the fact that none of McLaughlin, Miller, Barton, Mayor or Proctor make it then that's it, we may as well fold the youth system. Before that however I would put Unsworth back in charge of their development.
As for clapping Lindsay ? At the end of the meeting I provided polite applause for him having the balls to front it out (I don't recall urging the mob on to "3 cheers for Maurice, Hip, hip....." Just before that when Lindsay was asking for the last question I pointed him to Billymacc who was standing right next to me as I knew he was going to fire off a beauty.
Still I'm dealing with the ministry of disinformation in that so many of you chaps just can't report it as it is. The reason youfail so miserably is that you aren't up to it.
