Should coaches be "forced" to play players

[JaySav]

Well I think that MA and Christian are one and the same..
Must be cos no-one else has agreed with MA as much since he's been on here

On a more serious note Im sure we can all use examples to get our points across and twist things around to suit our needs.

Intresting comment from you JaySav - I think you are suggesting that I have created an addition fictional profile to enhance my own argument. I hope that was a joke. Moderators if you have the resources avalible please confirm that is not the case!

I have been agreed with/supported in the past on issues - I think I'm similar in mind to TonyB, Thorshammer, CNC etc.

However, they are, I will use a term that you use often "ganged up on" and I imagine have given up even trying to broaden the minds of others on here. I feel, especially after comments like that, I will be giving up to.

The smilies indicated that JaySav is joking.

I don't recall JaySav using the term "gang-raped" often, it's not a term that should be used on this forum, please edit the post and find something more suitable

[JaySav]

I have certainly referred to that term before (after MA himself was abused for his beliefs/opinions on an older thread) but I cant recall using it other than that so wouldnt call it often..

Haha.. Yeah the smilies do kind of give it away a bit - thought that was the point of them?? (although in truth you wouldn't be the first if that was the case and probably wouldnt be the last)

Really? Jaysav? Are you secretly also SRJFC or Coops?

I didn't know it was possibly due to being sent an evaluation e-mail or something!

As it is I get enough flak and suffering with one profile!

I certainly don't need another!

I cant be the only one who who thought MA is actually talking about his own club?

Apart from my suspicious mind, I also think that coaches who wont take on less able players are not confident enough in their own abilities to coach those kids. so should stop calling themselves coaches.

But if you have a group of 11 players who are all premier standard and a lad wants to join who is suitable for 2 divisions lower, so will struggle in that league may not benefit playing in that team. Possibly could effect their self esteem and confidence, so in those circumstances I can understand a coach not wanting to take on a new player, but if an existing player gets left behind the others, then the coach should stick with the player.

They only wish they were as young and handsome as me

So what is the point of being a youth "football manager"? Why doesn't each club have a just a "manager", doesn't need to know anything about football - with a stopwatch on the sideline, making a pie-chart at the end of each week so he makes sure he gets everyone equal playing time.

Anyone can do that.[/quote]

Down under we have a 'team manager' makes sure playing time is equal, collects subs, arranges directions for games, fills in match day forms etc. As coach on match day you do the warm up , team selections( based on playing time ) tactics .

As you have asked the question - I can tell from what IP address each post comes from and which users have posted from the same IP address.

Welshy - I started 'managing' at 17, after assisting for maybe 6 months. I'd say by 21, I was decent enough to actually manage. Prior to that, I really should have been just a coach, because of all the other 'important' things in my life at that time. The funny thing is though, at 26 I have no desire at all to manage, only to coach!
