Good to say after all the rigmarole of getting the proper qualifications needed (what an absolute farce) your’s truly will now go on and win the league with my well trained players. No mucking about, we will be a fast, attacking and aggressive team. Move over Kjetil Knutsen! You are entering a world of pain my friend. 1 Link to comment

Been taking them for coaching for quite a few weeks now and seeing the difference between those who put in full effort and those who just want to be with their friends. They are definitely coming on a lot better though. I was doing free kicks with them last week and a few really surprised me. I had to do a first aid course through the SFA even though I already had a qualification. I have already been told to not shout a referee’s etc ? but I believe if we play the way they are taught we don’t need to worry about refereeing. Link to comment

Kids on the whole were excellent, parents were the #1 issue - dad's coaching from the side lines (but not wanting to get involved with the actual coaching), parents getting pissed off when little Johnny is a sub, parenting cliques, parents telling you 5 mins prior to kick off that their child can no longer play etc etc. And don't get me started on the ADJFA, YSFA paperwork etc. Link to comment

The fathers maybe not so much . ? i get on with anyone. I wonder when the rule, letting the parents at the pitch side will be brought back into play. For some reason if kids are playing on a bit surrounded by a fence, barrier etc the parents have to stay behind the obstacles. Only coaching staff allowed at pitch side. What a farce! I don’t mind a bit banter back and forth with the spectators. What has modern football turned into? I will start the mind games with the refs and opponents as soon as I see them. Bring it on.

Roger Ramjet 62 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Are we all hoping for a Keith win tomorrow night? Not a fan of their kit for obvious reasons but would be great to see Buckie Thistle win the league and hopefully get into the Second division. Link to comment

Not having to travel, bonus. Well done to the men who stepped up. Know Allan King (my mum reminded me who he was). He used to take me and his son Steve to training and matches for select matches, not sure about boys clubs. Link to comment
