to be fair, I doubt a CHF fan needs to 'read up' on home farm.

He puts "produced" in inverted commas as he was insinuating they just pluck already produced players rather than develop them not because he reckons they've never brought anyone of note through their ranks.

The named players played all their schoolboy football at HF.They were schooled in good football habits there. Then moved to England to become successful.
You dont get anymore produced than that.To say that one of the most successful nurserys in Irish football has had a detrimental effect on Irish football is
blatant nonsense

Essentially all they do is scout youth clubs for talented players, induct them into their system, give them some basic training and ship them abroad en masse. Home Farm and their ilk have probably had a detrimental effect on Irish football in the past 15-20 years.

I reckon the likes of Darren O'Dea, Owen Garvan, Shane Supple, Chris McCann will prove you wrong. Don't most big schoolboy clubs poach players from other clubs.

You need to spray yourself with some IQ because that is probably the stupidest thing I've ever read on this forum. Oh dear. Stick to cricket son.

How many have they sent over who haven't made it have been lost to football? The whole concept of a "nursery" club for British teams is detrimental to Irish Football. The route obviously should be underage football feeding into League football here, with then the top players getting picked up. More like a cattle mart than a nursery.
