Don’t follow any football other than Scottish but that Ajax always seem to produce great young players! Some kid has come on and banged in a hat trick on his debut breaking a 60 year club record.

We could do worse than get the blueprints of their youth policy, though I may be being naive, they could be just buying most from other clubs youth setup..

The Aberdeen youths just went over to Holland and won the Robin Van Persie Tournament.
Thing is, they are not bothered about winning at a young age, its all about developing the players.
So whilst we have physically dominated and won, the likelihood is that their brand of football will in time out perform us.

The elite football in Scotland does need to adapt and focus more on the development rather than early success

Outside scottish fitba Dutch is my favourite

I think this stat says it all

Since 16 September 1981, Ajax have played just 21 minutes without an academy player on the pitch.


Were those 21 mins an oversight? Did someone get sacked for that?

Bit of a random question...

How long have Kilmarnock been playing in an all navy strip?
Is it some sort of anniversary strip?
The last few times I’ve seen them on Sportscene they’ve been wearing it, home & away.

EDIT - stopped being lazy & googled it.
150th anniversary kit.

It’s a nice strip.
A bit like the one we had a few years back (ADT were the sponsor?)

Would our fans be willing to take the likely hit in points/league position in the short term to attempt to follow this model?
To be fair, we don’t have much to lose by trying as we’re in a kind of no mans land most seasons unless you count Europe as a victory which is by no means a certainty.
