Flickergate

He speaks sense.

 

Could be putting himself int shop window.

 

This is classic case of interviewing someone, asking a variety of questions and then adding your own headline and cherry picking quotes to fit whatever silly agenda you wish. It's nothing new it's how journalism works.

 

Makes absolute sense, emphasis from a young age is about winning, playing matches, rather than developing players. Coaches are set in their ways, there's no overall direction for developing English players, the Premier League is too powerful, the whole manager is person who buys the players and coaches is all ****-eyed. Apart from that we have a great system!!

 

Actually it's not. Listen to his interview yesterday, that comes out almost word for word with no prompting. He definitely had a bee in his bonnet and was determined to make a point.

Not that I'm suggesting Flicker wears a bonnet....

 

He's doing his bit for the bee population too. I bet he has signed the petition.

 

"His side are in a relegation battle" and "Barnsley's u 21 side have won 3 of 21 games this season and are bottom of their league" Two sentences that don't really support his supposed mastery of coaching methods.

 

His side hasnt been his side the whole season however if we take the table from when he took over......the under 21s has turned into a total joke. On the face of it though i would agree Gloucester, it does seem a bit daft at first glance.

 

coaches who don't put the hours in? Coaches who come to work, do their job and go home? Is he deliberately describing Keith Hill who very publicly got upset that he had to work on a wednesday and very publicly got upset that he had to work against his wishes when his family were visiting?

 

Well whatever his point might be, he's an idiot if he actually believes you must work 100 hours a week to be the best at something.

That's from 8am to 10pm 7 days a week.

How can you coach all that time in a week?

 

Teachers work longer hours than that according to them

 

He he. Stirrer. Could be right like.

 

Well,,,,,,, teachers make up all their hours during the time when we think they're on their summer holidays

 

He just means he is always working. His job is more than coaching. A lot of them are at the club for those sort of hours.

 

Yawn. No-one, except you, ever doubted Hill's workrate. Even some of his biggest critics stated that the word from inside the club was that we had never had a harder working partnership.

Plus, everything Flicker says there is what Keith used to say

 

I don't buy into this "it's not about winning"..........you have to learn to win at an early age and get the feeling of how it feels to be a winner.......then when you lose you know how bad i feels and it spurs you on for next games.

I do agree that some of the coaching in UK is poor.......and it shouldn't be when we have spent £150 million on St George's Park !!!!!
