[Football] Football dreams: The academy (warning, contains distressing scenes involving the scum)

[loz]

On C4 at 21.00 tonight, might have to take the blue and white specs off but I should imagine it’s very much like all cat 1 academy’s are run. Hopefully quite interesting and a good insight as to what makes an elite football player.

I'm quite looking forward to it. Should be an interesting watch.

What’s this thread got to do with BHA?

I have been watching the Sky documentary One Shot: The Football Factory.

Quite enlightening and interesting insight into all the kids trying to make it as pro footballers.

Harsh business.

Many threads posted on this forum have nothing to do with BHA.

Thanks for sharing.

It'll no doubt be highly distressing to see some talented young players condemned to the scrapheap.

And the ones that Palace release probably won't have it easy too.

The trailer shows footage of a game against the Albion

This is a thread started by a Palace fan telling us we should watch Palace. You reckon if I went on any of their forums and suggested that they watch the thing about Bloom on Sky to see how a football club should be run properly I wouldn’t get told to **** off?

It’s got more to do with BHA than the vast majority of threads on here!

Twenty minutes after the start but hopefully there's a good warning in the thread title now

Anyway, I'm watching Sleb Masterchef on catch up.

Interesting programme - in 10 years time they might have a reasonable team.

He hasn’t told us to watch it, just mentioned the tv program is on.

Confession time, I actually enjoyed watching it. The U13s coach is very good, the way he encourages the lads even when he’s pointing out where they’re not keeping up.

Yes he is very good at his job.

I enjoyed it. And it was nice to see that none of the boys supported palace. Made it much easier to root for the kids.

Very good watch, and a good insight into what goes on in a top academy.
As been mentioned, the under 12 coach comes across really well, and the young players seem to have a bond with him.
Love the little full back, seems to be very level headed,
Looking forward to see how much talent we have in the different age groups.

I’m still waiting for ‘The Team of the 80’s’ to achieve something (other than a very swift relegation).

The trailer for next week’s episode had a young player sitting in his bedroom surrounded by Man United scarves etc.

Got promoted in 89.
