You don't need badge's to teach a player the game, only need a player listen and not hear you.

well with some of tha trainers around these days,id have to disagree some of these guys dont have a clue at all,only way they l have the knowledge of the game is to get the badges

I'd go for John Ryan to make up that 4 for consistency of performances.

... apparently one of olympics worst this season... How many games has he played this season because apparently he works most sundays......

Maybe but hasnt looked that way. seems behind the rest of the team if anything?
John is a good athlete and ive no doubt he has been good in the past but this year he hasnt really been up to it.
As just1 said hes works most sundays and rushing from work to play a match isnt the best preperation. Just needs to get his head in the game. (imo)

These days seems to have a majority of young players of under 25 who are still looking to reach their full potential,where as 10-15 years ago it was the opposite. Most teams were full of experienced players with only one or two young lads in the team. I suppose its down to the lifestyle changes over the past 15 years where priorities have changed.[/QUOTE]

One thing noone has commented on is the fact that none I repeat none of Newtowns youths team are getting anywhere near the Ateam this year!!!
10, 15 and 20 years ago there were always youths playing and in the panel!!!!!

Simple question..Do you not think Gary Leahy's good enough to be on Newtowns A team panel if not the team...?
I certainly do...

**brutus** · 09/03/2007, 11:40 AM

The youth team lads havent even had an oppurtunity to even get a run in the A team squad..2 or 3 of them at least should have been called up in the clare cup against the weaker teams like moher b and cratloe..i have to agree with spudd gary leahy is quality,i could name another four that are capable of getting a run with the Ateam..

I wouldnt put Gary Leahy as a sub for the B team. hes a good player but he knows it all. wouldnt listen to a word anyone would have to say. Players like that are no good to any team. thats whats wrong with this years Newtown youths team. There all superstars in their own heads with exceptions for only a few.

Cop yourself on. You may be trying to be funny but that requires a level of intelligence that obviously you do not possess.

You are also out of touch.Gary Leahy has no interest in playing junior football or any other football to the level of commitment thats required because he has openly and honestly told everyone,except you,that his priorities are elsewhere.

**brutus** · 09/03/2007, 1:40 PM

hey brutas if you keep slagging lads you wont last long on this site..do you play or manage a team..if not stop knocking people for trying..[/QUOTE]

I played and i have managed 2 clubs,ive even played with deano so ye lot getting all up tight is a joke,getting back to about the youths i personally think a few of them lads should be giving a chance thats all.
