i wasn't having a dig at whoever organised the on line session, or the thinking behind it. fair play for getting sean on line - it's just a pity he couldn't have made it a more worthwhile exercise. my gripe was strictly with the manager. hopefully that will be sorted with the fans forum. if i had been able to i would have logged on, but work & lack of internet access put paid to that.
It sounds to me that there wasn't a lack of interest but just bad timing?
Maybe if the manager gave say 3 times and dates when he would be available for questioning, and then the supporters could vote on which time would also suit them? Therefore it would be maximising the amount of people that would be available to question the manager??
Just a thought
hopefully the fans forum the night before the cobh game will suit most people. i suppose you aren't going to keep everyone happy no matter what time you do these things.
The manager online is a great way for the fans to keep in touch with the club and the manager. It's normally very worthwhile but unfortunately this time there was a clash with training which was nobody's fault as it was a last minute change. Personally, I think the manager isn't doing this enough, DO'R came on at the end of every month and talked to us and I think Sean should and could be doing the same. Just an idea;)
D rover, there was certainly no offense taken on my part. bottom line - we didn't have time to do a decent chat.
Terry - the timing of these things can be a problem, mainly becasue of my own availability - Sean's touch typing isn't great ! - and in fairness to Sean to a lesser extent his availability.
sligoman, re having Sean on more often, probably not of much benefit. I think there's a risk of repetition if he's on too frequently. This happened with DO'R and we reduced the number of chats - perhaps reflecting results !!!
I try to get him on every 2 - 3 months, at key points in the season so that there's a bit of novelty to the thing. I'm not sure if there's much benefit beyond that.
Any views/perspectives appreciated.

I know but it had been a while since he was on last. I found no point in commenting on games that were weeks ago, for example, there was no point in chatting to him about the Cork City game because that would have been forgotten about at this stage, whereas if he was on at the end of every month then there would be about 4 games that month so you could comment about them all, understand?:confused::oQuote:
