SWMM82 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 For those interested, Scotland u17s take on Portugal in the first game of Elite Qualifying, 6pm kick off tonight at St.Mirren Park. Tough group, but I encourage you to go watch the way the kids try to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chripper Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) I won't be there but I'll try to find a stream. Hopefully there's a decent crowd. Some people keep talking about the encouragement they have as our kids are playing the proper way, yeah, well, I'll believe it when I see it. I know that it's Portugal, but if our kids really are being taught the right habits and being coached on how to love having the ball then they'll be evidence of that today. Personally, I'm expecting what we've seen for the past few decades. which is players who are petrified of having the ball and players who leather the ball as hard as they can when under the last bit of duress. Hopefully I'm wrong. Edited March 20, 2019 by Chripper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The u19s are playing Turkey this afternoon, too. Billy Gilmour and co. Be in no doubt that the younger age groups are supremely comfortable on the all nowadays. That doesn’t guarantee a win but it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Under 17s The under-17s won 1 (Kosovo) and drew 2 (Switzerland and Cyprus) in the qualifying round. Lewis Fiorini (Man City) scored in 2 of the games but isn't in the squad this time - I think he is injured. Andrew Winter (Hamilton) will be key to getting goals now. It is a tough group. I think we will get 4/6 points from the 3 games with home advantage hopefully helping us finish in the top 2. Under 19s The under-19s won 2 (Wales and San Marino) and drew 1 (Sweden) in the qualifying round. This age group has some really quality with plenty of players experiencing first team football at a good level. Gilmour is the star of the team but there are plenty of others in midfield and attack that I expect to see in the first team in the next couple of years. I really hope I can find a link to this game as I think these could top this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWMM82 Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) That should perk Chripper up a bit..... for a couple hours anyway!😜 Great result.....notice there’s some good strength in depth as well..... the likes of Cochrane, Dean Campbell and Aitchison on the bench👌🏼 Edited March 20, 2019 by SWMM82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookerman Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Great start for the lads! Going to be intresting to see how they get on against Portugal, Who been the team to beat at Under 19 level over the last few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burj_Alba Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 That is a cracking result, Turkey usually decent at youth level. Beat Cyprus and we should qualify. Who does Burroughs play for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burj_Alba Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Jack Burroughs. Plays for Coventry but apparently still eligible for England so his Scotland career could be on Burroughed time, sorry I'll get my coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
