[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain why we're fine with bigger early developers playing up but losing our minds about smaller late developers playing down?[/quote]

"We're" not.  I think everyone is in agreement that it's a good idea to have late developers play down a year to put them in the best environment to develop.  What I have a problem with is the rule being abused by clubs to play larger players, not quite good enough to get minutes for their on-age first team, down to get wins.  Unless you're the tough guy above, it's a bad idea that hinders the development of the kids playing down and the kids who lose time because of it.[/quote]

When early bloomers physical developers play up, don't take time from someone?[/quote]

right, just like every time any player is chosen to get minutes over another player. you selected one aspect of this.

You're ignoring abusing a rule to cheat (playing up is within the rules) and taking time from a player that is good enough to get minutes in their age group for a player that is not good enough to get minutes in their age group.  [/quote]

If a younger player plays up and takes time from an older player, based on your own statement, then the older player just isn't good enough, no?[/quote]

correct.  and this has nothing to do with bio-banding.  why are you even discussing it? [/quote]

Playing up and taking a spot, fine
Playing down within biobanding guidelines and taking a spot, not fine

Hypocrisy?[/quote]

and again.  I'm not complaining about bio-banding used properly.  if there's a true late developer playing down, then great.  it's a good rule.  [/quote]
