You’re 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 that’s apropos to proving anything. “Do you work with kids” - 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, you’re willing to throw out the most basic observations you’ve 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. Doesn’t 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.

124

Did any of those fellas play adult football at 13?

125

Adult football?

Marten Odergaard made his debut for the Stromsgodset first team at 13. He’s with Real Madrid now, I’m sure he feels abused.

126

How was Fabregas a genetic freak?

127

so its a secret opinion amongst coaches?

128

So none of those lads you referenced played at an adult level at 13 years of age?

129

check mate

He didn’t 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 couldn’t.

You are jumping on the wrong wagon here.

Lets stay on topic. Do you agree with the guy playing against 20 year olds?

131

And he’s not getting near the first team for Real Madrid

132

They may or may not have. I don’t 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.

133

Waffle pal…you referenced them incorrectly then.

You can’t compare a 16 year old to a 13 year old it’s crazy stuff.

134

What is God’s name are you talking about. I said Rooney/Totti/Fabregas and Messi all made their first team debuts at 16 and it didn’t do their careers any harm in response to Kev saying it was an abusive practice. I don’t know what kind of incorrect comprehensions you are trying to take from that.

135

You can’t compare a 16 year old to 28, 29 30 year old either.

136

His wiki page says he was nearly 16 when he made his debut,
Even so I’d be surprised if he was underdeveloped as the Celtic lad.

137

He’s a regular for their Castilla team and has already played for the first team. He has nearly double digits in international caps. I’m sure he feels abused.

138

This thread and debate is about a 13 year old playing an u20’s game…referencing players playing at 16 is no comparison.

Do you not understand the difference?

Ødegaard began training with the Strømsgodset first team in 2012, aged 13. He made his first team debut the same year, in a mid-season friendly against local rivals Mjøndalen IF.[9] He also had short training visits to Bayern Munich and Manchester United.[10] In 2013, at age 14, Ødegaard played for both Strømsgodset’s junior team (normally aged 17–19), and the club’s third team at the fifth tier of Norwegian senior football.

McGuinness out.
