poor behaviour from GTFC

Blog does come across as a bit of a whinge but can understand the lads frustration and upset.  It's a brutal system.

The age old 'good enough big enough' argument is currently championed by Josh Venney but I think there's still that mentality that if you're too slight you're going to struggle, especially in and around the level Town are at.

It's really simple, clubs like Town simply can't afford to wait and see if lads bulk up a bit.  Money is too tight to pin it on maybes.  We've seen ourselves first hand that when you're in the depths of the Conference it's not about planning for the future, it's about clawing like intercourse just to get out of there.  After that you can then start to think about a bit of future development.

There will be loads of lads like the blogger who are full of potential but have huge doubts over them physically.  But the focus is on the short term so rather than keep five or six of those lads for another year that money goes towards a quite average but physically capable player for the first team.  It might not be right but it's the nature of football.

I took in a few youth team games last season and I have to say how surprised I was with how small Town were in comparison to many of their opponents.  Be that just a freak occurrence that a particular year group are small or an actual philosophy of the club to develop talent based on ability not size, knowing that the physical side may come later on for a few of them.  I don't know which it is but I know which I hope it is.

I'm certainly not Aaron!

GTFC should be ashamed.

Just another opportunity for one of the " regular knockers " to have a pop at GTFC ! I would imagine that this same scenario has been repeated at every professional football club in Great Britain. Non-league teams are mostly composed of players who have been rejected by Youth Team set-ups at Professional Clubs and I bet a lot of these self same players thought they were world beaters by their family and friends.

I think you are, something ive said before

Think what You like, try and prove it though

This sob story happens to involve Town, but don't have a go at the club. These things happen all the time at all clubs, it's part and parcel. Get over it young man and if you want to be a pro footballer work hard at your game and try other routes. If you are good enough someone will spot you.

I too was told at 15 by GTFC I wasn't good enough to get a YTS deal. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from Town. But what was Town's loss was the West Yorkshire Wednesday night 5-a-side League's gain.

Either way, you like to regularly have a go at the club but on this occasion you're way off the mark. How is it poor behaviour to release someone who, I'd bet my right bollock, won't ever play a match as a professional?

That's the sort of thing Aaron would say  

Those grapes taste so sour he could probably make a decent bottle of wine
