But you are missing the point still... no one is saying that any youth player should be lining up as first choice just that, as far as 4th or 5th choices go, why would you NOT want them to be the one that gets the nod instead of the old has been or the gypo scum?
I do agree with you, i dont want a dean heffernan or jamie coyne over local youth.
But what i was saying is everyone seems to like the idea of promoting the youth squad but when it comes time for results, we have payed money to watch them play and when they dont play well everyone is happy to call them shit and complain that we cant release the deadwood but other clubs can!
If you take a vote of which 2 or 3 players would you like to get rid of from the club, i bet majority of votes would go to players who have come through our youth team.
