New youngest player

[Tabby]

Arsenal just sent on a 15 year old against Brentford. Seems a good game for it, they've been dominant.

It baffles me with some of these managers, if he's good enough to be on the bench and they're three nil up why not put him on for 15-20 minutes instead of a token gesture in injury time. I wonder if he actually got to touch the ball.

[Tabby]

Been talk of him leaving. Might be a ploy to increase tribunal fees like us with Elliott.

And before today 2 young Fulham players shared that honour.

Harvey Elliott 16 years 30 days debut on May 4th 2019

Matthew Briggs 16 years 68 days debut on May 13th 2007.

I thought the rule was under 16 were not allowed to play in mixed age football

Glenavon just played Christopher Atherton aged 13, and his first touch was an assist in a 6-0 win.

But I thought it was an English FA rule that no under 16 could play with mixed aged teams
Not sure about Irish Fa
Also lots ofChild protection rules come in about under 16 sharing dressing rooms with adults

Just wondering what the actual rules are ?
