BuzzerBeater Forums

From Stajan:

it's more than likely we'd have lost to Ecuador (6 users?) if they didn't GDP. Not exaggerating.

So let's see
We beat them by 28!!!!!!!!!!
And we would have lost??????????
Does anyone check this stuff or do we take this stuff as gospel
Not exaggerating> Seriously?

Boy, I write stuff like that and everyone jumps all over me.
Go ahead Beanz jump on him, cause if it was me.
Now a sensational 4th quarter comeback win aint good enough.
His losses are on him, his wins not legit.

Huh?

This just totally confuses me. Stajans post is bang on. Not sure why it matters who posted it or why anyone would "jump on him".

As others have said we lost two games we should have easily one based on poor manager decisions. That does not mean that anyone is out to get or against Sparky it just means people expect more. Today's game was a clear upset and a deserved win for Sparky and his squad.

Prior to tonight the U21 forum has been inactive to the point of pathetic. Managing the team and players is one thing, trying to keep the community involved is another. Maybe you should thank me rather than trying to call me out?

He posts info to the offsite
tells people its there
nobody goes, nobody posts and nobody but you has an opinion
and yes you are a god
thank you a million times

As in the quote I used in that earlier post
how can you say he was bang on

and another

it simply wasn't a legitimate or skilled win in my opinion

I give up

Perhaps it's the delivery or lack of? Perhaps people just don't care? Honestly I know this pain well and don't really have an answer. I know i personally find it really annoying that the game posts are not in the location that they usually are. And again from a personal stand point I have commented in the offsite directly to Sparky with no response...

and yes you are a god
thank you a million times

I guess this is what I should expect from you, boring. Better do better than that... Oh and your welcome.

If you read the entire sentence I believe he is commenting on our tactics as well as the opponents. And I agree our poor tactics combined with their poor tactics could have ended much worse for us. Take the 28 point win and be happy, no problem.

And again more BS from you leading the pack with lies

And again from a personal stand point I have commented in the offsite directly to Sparky with no response...

Your comment exactly:

I have not followed the U21 team closely but am curious why we want with Patient offence. Usually this is reserved for games where a loss is imminent or you have a district advantage at a certain position. We had neither of those for this game.
Not sure if the result would have changed but a LI or even a base offence would have actually made this a game.

Next post down from the offsite:

From Sparky:
We didn't need to win that game.
4 teams move on and there is no reason to waste enthusiasm.
Tsaligopoulos had our biggest DMI and was our biggest advantage.
I gave it a shot.
They wasted Enthusiasm on that game and we will have big enthusiasm going into the next round.

And that my friend is your only post!!!!!!!!!
Lets face it you have a hate on for me
Why can't you ever admit anything
all the quotes are legit but still I'm the bad guy

At least an apology to Sparky is in order

7 full days in between the question and response is not a sound way to keep people engaged or involved. The answer is also pretty weak IMO but whatever. Sorry for implying there was absolutely no response, but in fairness the response was weak. If his answer is truly that we didn't need to win it is more alarming than I thought. As the coach of the "best of" teams your job is to keep people interested. Winning is what keeps the community involved. Trust me I made some horrendous errors as a NT coach but my goal was always to win when reasonable. The game I commented on was a very winnable team, where poor tactics lost it for Canada.

why can't you ever admit anything

Again more...huh? What would you like me to admit?

Honestly you should post less. Every single thing you post is angry and pointed at someone. I am merely asking questions and trying to help open up conversation. Does everything everyone say need to align with your thoughts or opinions?The NT and U21 programs in the past have been community run with lots of support from outsiders. You can witness this still with the NT program.

Do you ever wonder why Sparkys rating is so low or why he has so little support? Well let me help you figure it out, your his issue. All of your venom spewing is pretty tiresome and driving people away from having anything to do with the team.

As for hating you...dream on. That is reserved for people I actually care about. To be frank, I find your act pretty comical :)

From now on please let Sparky answer the questions asked of him rather than interjecting. I will refrain from commenting on any of your rubbish because it is simply wasting my time and the others that have to sort thru it to find anything of actual content.

Goodbye you fruit cake dingus.

You are completely delusional
you lied to make him look bad and this drivel is your weak response

More lies:

From now on please let Sparky answer the questions asked of him rather than interjecting

He answered your only question without my interjecting
you lied

Damn, people. Calm down. We all want U21 to do well and are all here to help.
No reason for personal attacks like that. I understand that you are trying to defend your boy, but noone is attacking him!
This is a great win, and lots of people congratulated him on that in this very thread. Why not stop at that and keep going for more wins such as this one?
Why take questions of other managers as attacks? Why compare results and ratings of U21 and NT?
What is the point on all of that?

Beanerz has got a point here. You are way too defensive and are attacking everyone that tries to have any input on U21 (and yes, such input does involve questionning decisions and disagreeing with manager). This is not the way to go.
There are over 200 users in Canada. Only 20-30 seem to be active enough to post on the forum. Its quite possible that the rating came from some new users, seeinga walkover or weak result, pressing negative, and then not bothering to change.
This rating truly doesnt matter at this point. What matter is getting community involved, getting players to be trained properly, and we all want those things to happen so stop jumping at people's throat

I give up
its as if nobody actually reads any of whats actually written
the ratings don't matter
all I've done is pointed out where misinformation was put forward
the attack and insults were hurled by Beanerz

Goodbye you fruit cake dingus.

I have thousands of posts and been interactive with hundreds of other users
never a problem elsewhere
this is the only place where there is such rancor
what a bunch of nuts

A few of you run this little Canada operation
and you all take yourselves much too seriously

IMHO when we start doing this, we all look poor. Other nations who might peruse this forum must be having themselves a great laugh. I've heard more enlightening conversations on a primary school playground.

The games, the players, the tactics... everything else just shelf it. Resist the urge to post nonsense. The internet is already way too full of it.

Why we forfeit a free win and wasted enthusiasm against Jamaica and why we're playing patient offence in competitive games (including a bad loss) warrants explanation. Beanerz made the most innocent plea ever and you jumped at him -- and honestly, this happens every time you're questioned.
