Quick post here. How did Ikon go in the second half against CCM? 

Yes agreed but the environment overseas is clearly better than staying at home. If you're 16 and have aspirations of becoming a top class player, you should move to Europe...ideally to one of the better football academies. 

Pasquali got off the bench and got 20 minutes in a win.

Can give you stats, didn't see the game
Min 45
Touches 27
Passing accuracy 80% (8 passes)
Passing accuracy in opp half 75%
3 successful dribbles
0 crosses
0 assists 
0 shots
1 tackle 
14 duels 8 duels won 
1 clearance
4 fouls won 1 foul conc

Not too bad for the first 45 min in months

Wanderers second was poor but held on for the win

Excellent news, he definitely is up their in the pecking order now which is good to see.

Tim Cahill played and scored in his debut for Milwall Under 23s. 

Former Jerk Kristian Brymora opened the scoring for Milwall in that game, before Coventry equalised before Cahill's winner.

Awesome, especially considering that Jong Ajax looked like it was back to it's first choice side.

Iredale with a goal and assist for Jong Heerenveen vs Jong Feyenoord. This seems to be in a type of youth league but it is hard to tell the quality with a lot of dutch U23 sides moving into the dutch league pyramid. I would say this is easily lower than Jong Ajax in the second tier.

His assist is probably better than his goal (hence why he tweeted his assist only) as his shot seems scuffed

Assist: 1:17:50
Goal: 1:26:06

Doesn't look like a scuffed shot to me. That looked well placed 

Dougall starting in a league that the new coach would be very familiar with might be good for him. There's plenty of other boys playing much less that have been getting a look in. Maybe if Bert stays on post World Cup we might see him given a chance. Can't imagine too many unknown quantities being picked in the friendly squads or the WC squad.

check out this kent..

He said: "The manager was the main reason [I joined], Harry Kewell. He was at Watford as a youth coach and I've played against his teams over the years. I've caused him a few problems and hopefully I can cause problems with him.

"That was the main thing, joining Harry. I cut the teams down [who were interested in signing him] and went with my gut instinct and Harry was my gut instinct."

Great to see John Iredale doing well in Holland, he looked quite promising for Sydney FC's youth team from what ive seen him. 

Kwame Yeboah is live on Bein sports at 4.30am. Paderborn vs Bayern Munich in the cup. Hopefully he plays in such a big match.

Millwall and Huddersfield with cup replays tonight. I'll miss the first half but Yeboah could start in the cup against Bayern. Massive.

Mazis to Celtic jrs is interesting.
Read an article which said he'd prefer to play for Italy.

Curtis Good played a full match for the U23s and scored an own goal.

Progress :D

Millwall have highlights of the practice game on Facebook. 

Pasquali on the bench with the U19s in the UEFA Youth League against PSG.

Bayern up two goals now, hopefully Yeboah gets a good run at them.

Pleased to see that they are on top of 3 Liga, maybe he'll stay with them if they go up.

Yeboah on the bench against Bayern. 2:0 Bayern after 30min. Yeboah likely to come on at some point to attack. 

4:0 Bayern on 55. No cup magic unfortunately. 

Mooy and Meredith starting. No Cahill Meredith has to make the next squad. I can see it happening.

Berti said it's about quality and Meredith is doing well and there are exceptions for those playing in worse leagues. Form and quality should get you picked. I'll believe it when I see it. 

No Yeboah. A slight shame but the game is a wright off. 

No Pasquali. Ajax out on penalties.

Inman on the bench for Rochdale against Millwall as well.

Aaron Lennox had started for Raith Rovers in the last 3 games.

Rukavytsya scored again this morning

This from John Grimaud Leckies agent who may also be Kwames. Shame.


Unfortunately Kwame rolled his ankle in the warm-up and missed the game. Padderborn very good taking the game to Bayern but Munich has too much quality & class.
