i agree with you.

and knowing matt he'll be not offended by your words.
Major NT and U21 are two different arguments.

we are trying to do a work with irish community, today not so "sensible" to the growth of his "children"... :D
This work will give his fruits at least in season 14-15. And even in that season for the major NT this will be not useful....
we have to work hard for some seasons to see results also in the NT.

dhoff has made the maximum with the player that irish community has to offer.

Thanks Tom, I'm really glad to read these things you have wrote. Sometimes I didn't know if there were Irish people reading my posts or my notes, but now I know that there were. I'm really happy that you appreciate my the work of my staff and mine, you are right in every single thing you wrote. I hope that others Irish users who like this game can read your posts and take your advice which are the only way to grow a strong squad, especially with a new squad just registred.

Like you wrote we will see the fruits of this work only in two or three seasons. For this reason I would certainly like to be the U21 coach also for the next mandate. I'm happy to see that you agree with me in this matter.

With regard to the discussion of the national major team I think, like EESS71 and GM-FatCurry, that dhoff is making a great work. In fact, as it was said, the major national team situation is no better than ours. We also wrote some BB-mails each other telling about our national team and I said to him the same thing. So I can answer to hayabusa that I'm proud by the offer but my staff and I prefer to focus about the U21 national team. I think that only in this way we will be able to do our work as better as we can. :)

Its a long term process and you guys are laying great groundwork. I've been following along keep up the great work.

Well Matt I'm a great believer in giving credit where it is due, and you and your team deserve a lot of praise. You've come to a small, poor, nation and given us the foundations to improve our NT's and our own teams a lot. We can't thank you enough for that in my view.

I tend to read these forums once or twice a week. It's especially great to see you comment after each match as it shows your enthusiasm for the job and the challenge of raising our NT's status in the world. Unfortunately we don't have an active community on these forums. I think many managers just concentrate on their teams and the NT results and don't look at the forums. I think a lot of managers just look at the results of the NT's and don't realise the gravity of the situation we are in and that's why approval ratings aren't as high as I think they should be!

Changing NT managers every election isn't much good (unless the NT manager has no interest any more) as managers can only work with what we, the Irish managers, have given them. They only way we and our NT's can get better is training our promising youth and letting those we can't, or don't train go.

I think as regards U-21 bosses that it has to be a 4 year cycle, rather than just 2. It takes 3 years for 18 yo's to become 21, and that's when we see the true impact of the manager and his staff.

I believe we have a great future because of your efforts, so thanks, and good luck in the friendlies!

it's good to see my post did our NT forum so active:) well.. i agree that U21 and NT are very different things.. you're right guys, both managers does great job and we should to be proud of them both and hope for a bright future for Irish teams :) of course we have to do our best with our young stars as well :)

it's good to see my post did our NT forum so active:)

Yep, you are right.. I have never seen this forum so active :)

Hi guys. Just a quick query... I'm currently training Fallon in hope of him making the U21 team, and was wondering when - if ever - is a good time to train stamina. Is it necessary or more beneficial to just train the primary skills and have players get by without too much stamina? Cheers.

Hi skunk, you are making very good work with Fallon, compliments. For now you can quietly train the primary skill as you are making now. If you want train stamina you could train it only at the end of the season when maybe you have only 2 matches at week ;)

yes, we must say that our two HALL OF FAMER Center are in good hand.

Normally there are two moments of the season during wich we could set a week of Stamina or Free Throw.
The end of the season as matt said, and the All star game week if you have been ejected form the national cup (otherwise you'd have two cup matches and one of regular season).

In these weeks you'll have only 2 games , so normally you can set a team train as stamina or FT.
For now first of all we have to make the primary skills grow and grow ... if some other kind of training will be useful we'll ask you to set it.

:D

BUT let's talk also of the victory with the INDIA U21 TEAM... :D

BUT let's talk also of the victory with the INDIA U21 TEAM... :D

in this match I have tried something new. I wanted to check our PF and C, to do that I have also used Fran Cox like SF, the best PF who can play in that role. As I aspected we suffered at the outside defense, however we have done great controll of rebounds and a strong inside defense.

Unfortunately these are the last matches of Jason Mac Gabhann, Fran Cox and Adam Gray, who were important players for the whole season. They are 21 years old and they will be out of team next season. I'm really waiting the new generation of C and PF :D

other two victories in the last two friendly matches.
we arrive at number 70 in the world rankings.

soon we'll talk about the new draft , scouting of the new 18 y.o. players, requirements etc....
....stay tuned!! :D
