Subject: NT Ireland

I'd leave signing up until as late as possible so you'll have a better idea of the ranking situation first.

I'm doing that but it's kind of a risky play. Most managers who don't participate in the U21 WC already arranged friendlies in this weeks, so I also have check out if someone and who would be free in these weeks ...

i think you should go for it.

I think go for it as well. It might be a good idea though to look at the players you'll have available and see are there any quick wins on training (especially stamina) that will make us a bit more solid. Not every user will help you out or be able to train what you need but even if it got you a few more options it would help.

I won't be online tonight and I don't have the money anymore to buy Coyne!

I'd like to see him going to one of you! ;-)

Typical! I've waited 6 months for Gilchrist to come back on the market and i wont be around to buy him.

I got him instead!
I just have not enough trainees at the moment, that's why I bought him.
I'll probably sell him again at the end of the season ...

Or as soon as possible if you offer 2 776 875 $! ;-)

Corey Hogan is on the TL. The time limit is this evening.
If you're interested in training a good irish player, now's your chance.

Good luck !

I finally decided that we're participating in the U21 World Cup.

In the worst case, we'll lose some matches ...
Our players aren't that good, true, but still I'm pretty positive that we can achieve some big surprises!

We have some top players in the offense and I hope I can create a tactic which is defensively very solid and based on counter attacks we should be able to be dangerous ...


I think I was carefully with taking this decision, but I'm very sure that it is the right way.
I'll do everything possible to justify my decision! ;-)

It's good to have a challenge anyway :) No disrespect meant to other nations but I'm sure you're a bit bored of easy wins. Also tactics that you develop in these more difficult games will be a lot more useful in the future qualifiers than ones you develop when it's only about how many goals you can get.

the NT-coach is now a mod ;)

Useful as he can now check out players skills from when they were last sold.

which he should not do though because it give an advantage over those NT coaches who are not mods.

This feature is not meant for scouting. Only for catching cheaters actually and i doubt that geg will use that tool to gain an unfair avantage.

quite;p

Plenty of mods do it and i'd question how much of an advantage it is. The players skills were there to see when they were up for sale, they dont update, they just dont disappear.

Beside this I have the actual skills of the NT players, so there's no need for this feature ...


And if you ask a manager, in 99% he tells you the skills of thsi player. And then you have the actual skills which is much more important.

There's no need to use it, and I think it also doesn't give an advantage if somebody uses it ... ;-)

The players skills were there to see when they were up for sale, they dont update, they just dont disappear.

I know :)

However, we already had a long discussion about it some time ago.

A Mod should not use it because it might be a small advantage. So, if you want to be fair, you should not use if for any other use than catching cheaters.

It is not for knowing your own players geg, but rather for knowing skills of recently transferred players of the opponents players.

It might be true that Mods misuse the feature. maybe we have to rethink if it is really necessary for mods. I know from the last discussion that borkos for example is this opinion.
