Brilliant discussion | Frank Lampard and Chris Sutton talk the perils youth football in England
Amateur sport/athletics and PROFESSIONAL sport/athletics are two very different things.
Participation in the first is a qualitative, personal development exercise (i.e. building qualities that can make someone a better citizen and more resilient human being), whereas participation in the second is almost entirely about outcomes within the "grind 'em up and spit 'em out" entertainment business.
Entendi
if the premier league wasn't so dominated by money then it might help with this issue. every club in the pyramid is fighting to survive instead of developing a healthy environment for players and fans. football should be for the people not the billionaires.
Just pathetic, my boy adores football but i will support my son forever because hes my little star. There is no pressure x
Michael Calvin got picked up way too much mouth noise it's distracting.
Jimmy Saville has entered the conversation
8-2
Chris Sutton is a bellend. No ex Rangers player's would disrespect Celtic the way he disrespect's
Rangers him hartson etc have no class just bitter men!!! Don't deserve the air time with there bitterness towards Rangers. At least ex Rangers players have class and don't have to stoop to they level's and he shouldn't be allowed to commentate on Rangers game's either as his views are wrong biased and misleading.
Lampard gave 8 debuts to Chelsea youth players… The year is 2020?
Franks right it’s all down to the parents. They should be the ones getting educated.
Any links to the documentary?
As a14 year old just signed before christmas I have worked my arse off and if I’d have been picked up 3 years ago I would be twice the player but would not have the hard working mentality
People get scouted too young. Even 15-20 years ago it was the same. Some boys weren’t even that good at say 10, but at 15 were quality! Scouts need to look a bit older.
They should do what the American schools do……got to get a certain grade of education before they can play football…..then they have something else to fall back on if they do fail
Very well put by all. I am changing the way I thought with my boy.
When Frank becomes England Manager he will win us the world cup….no doubt!!
Take a look at the amount of british players that play for the top 4 clubs in the league and it's crystal clear that something is drastically wrong with the system.
Brilliant discussion about this brilliant documentary…………
A link to this masterful piece of film making is, however, asking for too much, I'm sad to say……….
Fortunately, though, Spurs are in the Champion's League final, so these minor setbacks are like water off a duck's arse…….. where once there might have been psychotic rage, there's only gentle calm………….. so that's nice…………
Frank Lampard lol. He never had a career lol. Not as good as Becks, Zidane or Clayton Blackmore. Only become pro becos daddy was pro and uncle Readnappz.
Great chat from FL but I coached a side from U-7s to U-16s and had a few players taken by a Professional Clubs Accademy – those players were not allowed to play for us (and with all their mates) even if they werent selected to play for the academy side. At 16/17 all released by the club. It just isnt right that these boys are banned from playing with the clubs and friends they grew up with …
Use the American system of colleges and universities for the supply of players to clubs. Where academia is principal, alternative sports are encouraged and clubs draft youths. Not use and abuse them and chew them up and spit them out. This way the responsibility lies with the universities. They draft at 15/16. Not 3/4.
Someone has the link to the download the full documentary of No Hunger in Paradise?
Football is morally corrupt.
