@DUSF2017 If the meeting is full of people talking about "optimising their elite talent development model" then I think most normal human beings might want to do something else that day #CorporateJargon
@Finumus1@TheMurkyDepths At some point even the most economically illiterate politicians must recognise the futility of simply subsidising demand yet again?
@Nareystoepoker Some pretty damning numbers there. We really need to think about introducing requirements for clubs to field a minimum number of (young) Scottish players - managers won't do it voluntarily.
@GoddersSteve@BoothCricket It's a disgrace. On Saturday between almost every over ovet backroom staff came on the ground offering hydration, towels etc adding further to the delays and slowing the over rate. Adding a multiple of runs to the opposition's extras is the only way it gets addressed.
@lifesanocean78@martinthearab@TheDailyArab83 A better pathway must surely help development, but I'm not sure whether that would solve the problem of English clubs waving (relatvely) large amounts of cash in front if 15-17 year olds given the uncertainties surrounding whether each young player makes it into senior football.
@TheDailyArab83@lifesanocean78 Also makes me wonder whether future DUSF funding, which has historically gone on academy projects, needs to be refocused perhaps to stadium improvements which directly benefit fans?
@sweirz After all the shenanigans over the winter, it's pretty inexcusable for the captain to appear to drive a coach and horses through agreed arrangements at the first opportunity even if it didn't end as it appears to have done.
@Nareystoepoker You really wonder whether these part-time players and clubs really want or need all these additional games. Pretty clear from attendances last year that supporters don't.
