Im struggling too understand your points Nino. Leave me have a stap of it though, what your saying if teams dont try to play like Barcelona they are considered negative, and are therefor tactically inept, does that mean so that capello, Mourinho even Tony Pulist are in this category along with Cronin.Quote:

Bad to worse so for Ramblers. Still haven't signed anyone. Such a pity after all the work last year. That's 5 of last year's starters gone so far I think
Will Springfield and Cobh wanderers pick up a few Cobh lads to or what??Quote:

You referred to the Avondale/Rockmount game when you said it was the best counter attacking football you seen from an amateur side,and im trying to make you aware that Rockmount failed to exploit the gaps by continuously launching balls instead of getting the ball down and moving it,it has worked for them in the past but in a case like this they might as well have been playing against 11 men,to put it simple they played it into Avondales hands!Quote:

Why isn't Dave hill busy in the off season trying to sign players are they going with last years u19s. Your right huge work was put in last year to get back to league of Ireland level. There must be some strategy behind it. Is it a case we will go with the youth and produce our own players. If so it's a great concept but will take a long time to achieve this.Quote:

Couldnt agree more with coro here. If you have an extra player or 2 should really be able to find gaps in the opposition while moving and passing quick, maybe Rockmount dont have the footballers to do it but by hoofing long balls down onto Dales centre backs your really just asking for trouble... It might not be the managers fault because of the lack of footballers in rockmounts team but surely they could try... Just remember Ross isnt playing so who can they look for now to win their long ballsQuote:
