Woow, didnt have a dig at all mate, relax. Perhaps the word "cant get the skills of the u21 and potential u21s up on the site" in my sentence should have read " chooses not to update", as you answered my qu saying you would not. Def not stating you didnt know how :)
My apologies.
In terms of my team post in the wombat thread, two points.
1. The fact you didnt have anything to add tells a story.
2. I was referring to ppl commenting on trainees progress, not commenting on individual teams on the wombat fed. Im talking about commenting on potential u21 players early to ensure they are given best possible chance on the u21 team. That IS the role of the u21 manager. Currently I have a 21yr old that may just miss the u21 team this season. I feel that, had I been given top level advice on my 21yr old when I was in need, he may have been given better training for what the team needs, and therefore a higher chance of being selected. I dont think that can happen in a "supporter only" fed. And as i said earlier, i know there were numerous trainers begging me for advice on how to improve their chances, something only the u21 manager can speak for.
On the 1st point I will say this: I didn't have anything to say as you had been given great advice. I repeat...if I don't have anything of value to add I'm not going to add. Or are you suggesting that had I chimed in with 'I agree' and 'yes, yes, good advice' you would have thought more highly of me? I think not.
On the second point: Yes, that kind of advice IS the role of the U21 Manager...but I'm NOT the U21 NT manager. So what are you saying? that I should have commented on players even though it wasn't my place to?
:-)
How about we move on from the character attacks people (myself included) and focus on the core issues people have:
1. Offsite forum or new Federation?
2. Federation that has all NT or one that has only U21 NT?
3. What we think the roster might look like and the value of having a variety of player types?
4. Other?
