RUL Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 There's more good youth players on the horizon. Ramsay is a class act. Link to comment

By all accounts the young lads struggled recently against Buckie - that was quite a worrying performance I thought? Link to comment

I believe Hancock is well thought off too. He's an 18 year old centre half. The 2005s have just gone to u18s. They had 5 or 6 in Scotland squad. I think we will see a few from there break through. Emslie is very gifted. Hopefully we will see a couple hit first team over next 2 years. 2006s have Alfie bavidge, mentioned him before, I think he's actually playing up with 18s now, he's probably best striker at his age group in Scotland. He scored as u18s beat Middlesbrough 6 0. Ryan Duncan scored a hat trick and he's been on Fringes of first team for a while. Unfair to call out anyone younger but the youth teams are at top end in Scotland. 3 Link to comment

Often write a lot of drivel,but that last sentence wasnae bad ! Excellent v BK Hacken,superb v Dundee United.Always really encouraging and heartening to see young local players come through and do well. Link to comment
graham Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Kevin Hanratty and Tyler Mykyta have both joined Formattine United on loan and both scored in 4-1 win at Pitmedden against Forres Mechanics The pair will benefit from games in the Highland League. Link to comment

graham Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Spot on starryfish.The Bavidge football name continues. Martin Bavidge was still playing often for East End Juniors before the first lockdown.He was maybe not the most mobile,but his skill and touch still stood out.Like RUL says there are high hopes for young Alfie Bavidge in the Aberdeen youth set-up. 1 Link to comment

RUL Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 16s beat rangers 2 1 at Cormack Park today. Fair play to Scott Brown who watched the game. 1 Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 What's the current feeling with Connor Barron? I see he's off to Kelty on loan. This time last season a few were saying he wasn't far off the first team... with some predicting he might get a few games. Link to comment
graham Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Thanks for that RUL,always great to hear of victories over Rangers whatever the level.The programme for the Dundee United match had good potted biographies and pictures of the best u16 footballers coming through the Dons Academy.Aberdeen have always produced excellent homegrown players.Stepheb Glass himself a perfect example, and nice to hear Scott Brown there watching the game The young players will notice and appreciate that.

King Street Loon Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 What criteria do AFC look for when loaning our players out? The loans this season are quite random in league status and location. Highland Lesgue, League 2 etc. Link to comment

Suffered a bad knee injury and heavily impacted by the covid restrictions also. I'm not sure he will make it now at Aberdeen. Important loan for him at Kelty. Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Heard on the radio Elgin 2-0 away to Hibs B (albeit with the euro game later this week Hibs B will be their very true reserves) Charlie Adams and Chris Burke didn’t seem in the slightest interested. Distracted even. 1 Link to comment

Aye, a good win against Celtic and now a win against a decent Highland side with 10 men. It's clear that the winning mentality is seeping through to the young uns as well. I've faith in Robson as a good coach and mentor... he's maybe seen as a bit of a head case by some but his interview pre-season impressed. Hopefully he's the man who supplies us with more McKenzie's and Ramsay's. Link to comment
