    I'd guess that there are a fair number of guys who scout for us that arn't solely employed by hibs, freelance etc if you get what i mean.

    What we do seem to miss is someone like John Park who oversees this, also since we don't have a reserve team I think Evans works mostly with the seniors with Stevenson dividing his time between the young lads and the shambles that is our first team

    There are people on here who have players in the system so surely someone must know more ?

    I know scouting within most clubs have your freelance type people but there is usually a chief scout who keeps tabs on the players being looked at etc.

    Let's not get confused by scouts Vs agents here either.

    Sorry I wasn't having a direct go at you I was just stating that there are agents who offer teams players - from youth to senior and there are scouts who actively go out and recommend players for clubs to sign.

    Regarding Park - I am interested to know if someone came in to do his job - Hendry ?

    I'd be asking big questions of the coaching staff, since they are the constant in a team that can barely string two bloody passes together!

  9. #8
    was evans here when yogi was? surely questions need to be asked of the coaching staff as well as cc because its obvious what they are coaching them aint working!

    What age do players come under the Hibernian umbrella ?

    Playing other youth teams etc and part of the ladder to be a pro at Hibs ?

    I'ts fine mate, didn't mean to snap back, I blame Hibs for my mood today

    Hendry certainly took over the youth directive but Park always seemed to have a role in the signings aswell, almost in that cheif scout role, I'm here to be shot down on that one if i'm wrong.
    Valid point you bring up though, the signings lately by and large have been pish, who does the homework.

    We have teams at 10's at EM. The coaches used to put their time in for nowt until Collins time at ER. They are a committed bunch of guys and have all done their badges with the SFA.

    A certain tourny in Italy was won on a couple of years running IIRC.

    So u10's upwards are under Hibs umbrella ?

    Do they train at East Mains during the week ?

    I would expect the minimum that the coaches have qualifications

    Just to clarify...


    Alistair Stevenson has **** all to do with the youth structure. He is now part of CC's backroom staff and has been pretty much since CC arrived.

    James McDonough runs the 19's and has done since the last qtr of 2010.

    Doing a good job as well if you look at the results he's picked up. Sundays win at the PBS for example

    Hibs have had teams in Liverpool, Blackburn, Newcastle, and many more places(Italy) taking on their teams in bounce games and tournies. The amount of effort going into the coaching of our boys is enormous. Our coaches put in a shift and a half for us...the fans

    Good to hear.

    Not doubting the commitment - was seriously just curious to the structure and who the main contact is for these youth teams.

    Any idea how many times the different age groups train a week ?

    No - but I am just curious to compare to other clubs around the UK how Hibs operate their youth set up.

    What systems the teams play etc.

    Do we have a club wide philosophy how we are going to play ?

    Hibs may have under 10, but you dont play in the PRO Youth League untill under 11's
    My boy is with Dunfermline, and all league fixtures start at that age, under 10's do play friendly's though.

    According to Petrie's statement we have a scouting co-ordinator. The story is he was recruited by Scott Lyndsay and has a connection to Killie. Can't find an record of him doing anything in Fitba. Can anybody confirm if he is Scott Lyndsay's brother in law? Or what he has achieved in fitba?

    Big clubs have some strong experienced figure managing the football dept. We need something done to stop us stop us signing dross constantly.

    Scouting co-ordinator

    Hidden in another thread and in the Chairman's statement.

    Does anyone have a name for this as it would appear that he has a massive role to play in the club over the next 6 months

    From my involvement with youth football, there is actually no league before the 19's. the under 17's and below play against other teams in scotland ie your hearts, livingstone, dundee's, rangers and celtics. there is no league set up for these teams just SFA organized games, playing each team home and away over the year.
