Show me an instance in the last 3 years of a 16 year old playing Senior Soccer.
There may be a handful. But of course that doesnāt make it right.
Anyway, we are getting side tracked here again.
Bottom line, Celtic made a fuck up here and deserve the ridicule the Coaching world is giving them.
any links to show coaches being unhappy with this?
Milan had a 16 year old keeper in between the sticks all last season.
That Odergaard lad Madrid signed has been playing top flight football since 15.
Reece Oxford made his debut for West Ham at 15.
There are countless examples of it, Celtic had another lad score a goal in their closing league game just after turning 16, he was the guy Karamoko replaced the other night.
It happens over and over again.
It doesnāt make it righ though.
What you want access to all my private forums and facebook groups?
Ya sure give me a PM there and i will send it on.
Iād say those lads are happy.
Iād say guys like Totti, Fabregas, Rooney, Messi etc are happy at how their careers turned out.
Youāre a gas man all the same Kev.
You throw a condition out there as endemically existing in young kids, then when you get challenged on it, ask if someone has the same level of anecdotal evidence as you. As if thatās apropos to proving anything. āDo you work with kidsā - the answer to that is irrelevant, you working at some level with kids proves nothing either.
You claim to be a big fan of scientific evidence and journal research, but when it suits you, youāre willing to throw out the most basic observations youāve made, with absolutely zero value in the context of proving your point. No wonder @anon7035031 made a fool of you on that thread you started.
Hilarious shit lads. I love the way @Nembo_Kid has claimed most of the under 20s are 16/17/18 and frames it all as a 13 year old playing with 16yearolds. And the way @caoimhaoin has equated it with supporting child sex abuse. Great diversity of opinion on tfk. I suppose it takes different strokes lads.*
*to rule the world yes it does.
Ya, all freaks. Doesnāt make it right, at all.
Its fundamentally a huge problem in sport with masses being abused using methods only suitable to the odd genetic freak. Parents often being the worst.
Did any of those fellas play adult football at 13?
Adult football?
Marten Odergaard made his debut for the Stromsgodset first team at 13. Heās with Real Madrid now, Iām sure he feels abused.
How was Fabregas a genetic freak?
so its a secret opinion amongst coaches?
So none of those lads you referenced played at an adult level at 13 years of age?
check mate
He didnāt make a fool of anything. He throws in spurious nonsense to support some random and often contradictory things he says. He is a crank.
Have you not heard of Nature defecit disorder? Its one of the few new disorders i actually believe in.
I was pressing him to see if he worked with kids and could he identify it.
He couldnāt.
You are jumping on the wrong wagon here.
Lets stay on topic. Do you agree with the guy playing against 20 year olds?
And heās not getting near the first team for Real Madrid
They may or may not have. I donāt know, they come from countries which would have a much higher quality of youth leagues so the step up would have been far more pronounced than in countries like Scotland or Norway.
Waffle palā¦you referenced them incorrectly then.
You canāt compare a 16 year old to a 13 year old itās crazy stuff.
What is Godās name are you talking about. I said Rooney/Totti/Fabregas and Messi all made their first team debuts at 16 and it didnāt do their careers any harm in response to Kev saying it was an abusive practice. I donāt know what kind of incorrect comprehensions you are trying to take from that.
