Asunto: Senior NT Discussion - Ireland ONLY

Im assessing the team today Kristaps, anyone good enough thats been previously overlooked will get a place.

Of course, had we been informed of Martin Rowland before the limits came in last season, he would have gotten in no problem, so it looks good for him this season.

What's going on? We wanted to play today

Sorry Dumbo, no team chosen today in error.

Dumped some players during midweek and hadn't the chance (or time) to get back and sort them out.

We wanted to play today also, unfortunately it didn't happen.

Not so good for players - no chemistry and training!

for cases like these ther eshould be assistant who needed to step in...

anyway gl in nt position

Maybe assisten need to be a little bit more active!

This isn´t going to be a good season for Ireland. Flightiness! ...

Relax gents, 1 missed friendly game is not gonna make a whole lot of difference come the WC.

@ SevelaR, when you say its not gonna be a good season for Ireland, what do you mean by that?
Are you expecting a WC win?

Anyway, don't get carried away guys, it was an error on my behalf that will not happen again.

No, I didn´t expect that Ireland will win the WC.

Because I thought that you´re doing everything for the Ireland NT, but like I see you are working only on 50%. You have to do much more if you wanna win games.

Ok, lets not over-react here.

We missed one game, one friendly game!!!!!!!!

Iv'e made my apologies and stated this will not happen again to those concerned, we move on to the next game.

There's no need to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

I know that everyone can to make a mistake, because we are only people. But what about assistant?

wow - people sure do get fired up about the Ireland NT - though i wonder if its actually how well the team itself does or just that they want the training for thier individual player.

I will be interested to see if the same people stay interested when they no longer have a player on the team!

As an assistant it is very difficult to know when to change something unless your asked to. Dont want to change something that the Captain wanted a different way.

Though i agree that in this case - a team would have been better than none.

Anyway relax - at least the Ireland team should have mostly 100% chem this WC and be on equal footing with the other teams unlike last WC.

I saw that the lines were missing, but I also thought that they were going to be set up (I think I saw this mid-week).

Unfortunately, I was sick friday and saturday, so I didn't have the chance to set up the team - I wasn't told to, and I won't mess with the lines if not explicitly asked to.

discusion is always better than no discusion and if local managers will see that in national forum is some new posts, maybe they will start communicate

Well I'm here and I'll do my best to answer questions - and make the team work!
