In response to the scout issue, as a club we have had a number of scouts attend a number of games from within our club. A scout will not make himself known to people unless he sees a player he likes and thinks might have potential. If players know scouts are coming they showboat and tend not to play to their potential so visits are made unannouched and a manager approached after the game if a player has caught the eye.
Scouts look for more then just skill, they look for a complete package attitude, sportmanship etc.
Also as a club we have had a number of players from the U15 Athletic, U16 Rangers and U18 Eagles scouted and offered trials at various clubs this season.
can we more scouts coming down to games and/or get some matches against academys or the academys trailings player or sumthing pleassssssssssseeeeeeeeee
