At 18 playing in the scottish league is not bad its a bit rough but Livingston have a good youth set up if he came through that. If scouts were up looking wish i knew that one the young lad plays at Junior level and at 17 he starts week in week out and they could have had a look at him plays at LB and highly rated. He was at pro-youth for a number of years and was doing really well but neither him or I would arse lick coaches or head of youth so we moved on. We were down at one of these QPR football schools a few years back and the club then were really interested in him to go for trials until we told them we were only down for the week they were gutted. The boy Donaldson at 18 would be worth a really good look at if he can handle the rough and dirty game of Scottish football then give him a chance could be one for the future. |  |

Im shocked that weve got scouts that would go to Livingston I thought they just did er nothing Still good to see we are signing a young player instead of the usual ex premier names
Did anyone notice Hitchcock Harriman and Max Ehmer all scored at the weekend Ehmer at both ends |
And Remy.
I wonder if that is some kind of record? |  | | |

To be fair to the club, if you were only down for the week, they probably couldn't take the lad on. There was/used to be rules about youth team kids only being able to travel for 90 minutes to get to their professional club. I suspect it's a rule that was badly abused by the big boys, see Cesc Fabregas to Arsenal at 16 and Januzaj at Manure. It's probably all changed under the EPPP rules, which allows the big clubs to snaffle up the best youngsters for next to nothing.
Donaldson sounds promising. Let's hope it comes off and the lad flourishes. It's the sort of deal we always used to do in 60s, 70s and 80s |  |

Hope this lad does well, everyone is saying this is the type of transfer we need.
Be a disaster if he's hopeless!! |  | | |

Only Bob Malcolm to beat. I saw he was sent off for violent conduct the other week, so he's either a confident lad who won't be pushed around, or a complete psycho. I'm happy, either way, room for both in the back 4. |  | | |
