Another nicely put together little package that AmChaff and another well put together post Devon.
I've been saying for years that our so called scouts can't see talent that's right under their noses (at any age group) and given that many local newspapers these days don't even report on the local professional sides, let alone publish reports from local Saturday/Sunday league sides, (the reporters apparently don't generate sufficient click-bait to keep them in work, see Mr. Chicken for reference), the chances of them ever wandering out to watch an actual match are even less. It's all done on Football Manager, FIFA 2020 whatever year or OPTA and the stats they provide these days and of course, when would our lot ever look at non-league players?
It's not like we've not unearthed a godd'un now and again ..... from that there Larndan. There was a time when about 1/3rd to half the side was made up of kids from Halifax and Huddersfield. Wonder what happened back then?
I was looking to see if Pat Jones was in the Exeter squad but apparently he's had a hammy injury almost since he arrived at Sid James Park South. You have to wonder why we ever let him leave. It's not just us then.
We've already got the Margaret Thatcher Memorial Mining Museum just outside Barnsley but I don't see a muriel for her any time soon eiher.

Such brave women. I doubt somehow though, we'll be doing a mural in a hundred years time for that nasty cow Conservative who got jailed yesterday for inciting people to burn hotels with asylum seekers in.
