Really wish they still showed highlights of the youth games on redtv so we could see a bit more of these youngsters. Sadly he will never make it. He can only play at knight!! Link to comment

Was approaching double figures when I left but despite the opposition, some terrific players on show Number 9 Liam Harvey looks like he will make the grade. Right back Timmy Fantona likewise. Spoke to Simmie during the game about him and he said he was Scottish U14 100m champion a few years back. Plays like Ramsay, high up the park and very very quick. But the star of the show, young 14 year old called Lancelot. Known of him for years at boys club level but didn’t realise he was playing for the U18s. Honestly lads, if this boy isn’t playing for the 1st team in 3 years, I’ll be amazed. Little fella so needs to grow a fair bit but huge ability, waltzes past players for fun. Whole team play with a very high intensity, full backs pushed way up the field, high press (every player man marking when the opposition goalie has the ball) Think the lad Hancock was playing at the back for us, but we were never troubled defensively for me to judge him. Would like to see us up against a Celtic or Rangers, to get a better perspective but some very promising players on show tonight Appreciate the updates on the youth teams. A lot to be positive about. Thanks Link to comment

We went behind 3 times but each time we had equalised within 3 minutes. "This Aberdeen side was quite a bit younger than their Rangers counterparts so another very encouraging performance from Barry Robson’s side." Link to comment

Granite95 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 These games free to watch for punters or is it limited to family of the team? Link to comment

Free for anyone to attend, as far as I know. Although, when I attended the last game 2 weeks ago, got yapping to Simmie and Gordon Marshall about one or two of the AFC players and they asked me which of the team was my son, so had to explain, none, I’m just an interested punter! So I did wonder if it’s limited to family, Fuck it, what’s the worst that can happen? Can spectate from the dual carriageway, if they get arsey about it Link to comment
Granite95 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Perfect cheers, thought I'd seen someone before say only family could attend the games, just interested to see how the young team gets on and if there's any players to keep an eye out for Link to comment

On the Pittodrie PS podcast the other day, they said entry was available to all so that’s good enough for me Link to comment

Hopefully see some of these lads progress through and into the first team ala Ramsay/Mackenzie etc Link to comment

Reminds me on Karamoko Dembélé at the Tims, just glides past players for fun. Link to comment
Granite95 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Good to hear. KNow Cormack mentioned on his time on Sportsound that we spend £1 mill on our academy, hopefully will start to bear some more fruit for us in due course Link to comment

RUL Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 U13s drew 4 4 with celtic yesterday. Played over half hour with a defender in goals after keeper was sent off. U15s won 4 3 v celtic with a hat trick from Fraser mackie. Presumably no relation to Darren. Was well deserved victory. Link to comment

sooth_stander Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 9 men went to mow. And down 2-0 Edit - finished 2-1 Hamilton but a really spirited 2nd half for Aberdeen with only 9 men, had loads of chances to turn the game around Ryan Duncan played for an hour, presumably managing his game time after coming back from injury, looked decent as did striker Liam Harvey again.

graham Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Great win for the Young Dons.Lewis Harvey hat-trick and Ryan Duncan penalty.St Mirren goalie sent off start of second half and Findlay Marshall also sent off near the end as a very young Aberdeen side marshalled by captain Evan Towler held on for excellent 4-3 victory in Paisley.

WesthillWanderersFC Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 The centre forward Liam Harvey scored 3. Seems to score regularly. Duncan with the other, a penalty. Link to comment

Always very difficult to judge youth players or youngsters playing in the reserve team, as it was, but Harvey has always looked good to me in the 4 games I have seen him at Cormack Park on a Friday night.
