Mike,
The thread proves that the comments about the performance in Brazil were made.
There was no need for it! Saying in effect that half the results were obtained against filler players does ofcourse belittle the result obtained. The use of the word 'filler' is quite specific. You arn't trying to be objective about that.
Clement and Calum are involved in coaching juniors. Correct!
My understanding is that they are being paid for it.
There comments should be supportive of the juniors and emphasise what was good about their performance.
I could prove just how the Brazil results compare with other prior results at Euroyouth and World Youth.
But I won't go there. It's unhelpful!!
Also Mike, you arn't interested in being objective about things. You have made your mind up that you want an elite squad. I favour giving the opportunity to as many juniors as possible. I actually don't think anyone has the right to stop the best juniors in Scotland at specific age groups going to these events if they wish to go. It should be freedom of choice with the proviso you have gained your position by merit by being one of the strongest players in Scotland at your age group.
