BuzzerBeater Forums

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.

Look at pp/100 and shot distribution and then consider the huge jump in ratings they'd have if they didn't miss two GDP. Instead of our PG position scoring <50 points on <35 shots they may have scored well under 30 points on 35 shots. Patient is an outside isolation offence and we have no capable players for it. With every player shooting worse, we'd have gotten less rebound share, etc.

Absolutely a better than 50% we'd have lost that if they didn't GDP in my opinion. And again, this is Ecuador with like 6 users...

Why we forfeit a free win and wasted enthusiasm against Jamaica

Because he made a mistake
he was working on so many things he finally checked a minute too late
just as all of us have done from time to time

as for the rest, I was clearing up some BS

without going into chapter and verse
Beanerz clearly called the lad out for not responding
then when he was called out, he wrote instead that he got back to him too late
please...that you guys don't understand my frustration with some of the things that others do is beyond me
he really did need to apologize but wrote it off because I'm the only one who upsets people

I never said he was right with patient or originally not going with the better coach's plan and lineup
But you should know that despite what you may think, I let him run the ship himself
he doesn't always listen to my advice.

That being said, you gave his win no respect.
You were wrong.
They were partially winners because of many things he did to impove the players:
He hounded Beauchemin's owner to fix GS
hounded him to even out his skills
there were many who told him that the player should not be on the team
well he was big in crunch time, 15 RB 6 ORB and Canada's top game rating

You all need to be a little more understanding and a little less critical
maybe it would be better to bbmail the lad with advice

Bottom line...Until the lastest brou-haha there was almost no interaction at all
don't put that on him

The games, the players, the tactics... everything else just shelf it. Resist the urge to post nonsense.

100% agreed, Sparky made a mistake, we all do and it truly is not a big deal (this is a game). Well done on the latest win and use the momentum to keep Canada moving forward in what will hopefully be a positive path.

Sparky will learn, he will get better - he got the thankless job of following Kumiko - no one could have done better. We won and we will win more of that I am sure. Kick butt - Sparky

I don't post here very often, but I read this forum and the offsite almost everyday, and check live games from time to time when the timing is right (I'm almost always the only one there), and to be honest I'm not really mad about Sparky's mistakes. I think things should be made differently, but at least up to now it didn't cost us anything. For example, I prefer the damian's coaching: win and do everything to win in the end, not just go to 2nd round.
But anyway everytime something's happening, Sparky does not even have the time to defend himself, YOU do it for him. We know it's your boy and you hate any kind of attacks made at him, but come on let him do his job. Even when he does something right you rub it in our faces, like "told you so". It really doesn't help your point, nor Sparky's.
And that's coming from someone that didn't even talk to you once, it's just my opinion by reading what you write here.

my 2 cents

You have made your point
But you can't see his face when he reads the shots at him
and yes that's how sees it
I ask him not respond because his answers have been misunderstood before
best you all get mad at me, not him
My responses may seem over the top to you but it is beyond me how nobody sees the original barbs.
It would do us all good if we looked over what we wrote before posting.
Insults have been hurled but you would think it was all me.
Okay, I'm done....Surely this ridiculously tiresome for all
Time to let it go and start anew.
Go Canada!!
