ciao ragazzi! :D

Let me use Italian slang because today we can be happy. We have won the first match! Anyway I must admit that it was only a lucky match because Norge has no setted the match. So it was just luck..but it is a victory! ;)

we have almost won today. I'm sorry for final result because we lost only for 14 points against England which is more stronger than us. But I'm sure we have done our best, for now it is enough.

keep up boys, and train Irish players..

see you soon ;)

P.S.: I hope that some of you read my messages, otherwise I might seem crazy :P

Don't worry!you not alone:)With trainer like you and with Ireland managers help we have a future for NT21 and will continue to big NT. so keep going:)

Well, today we won another match. Ireland ends the Championship with 2 W and 5 L. This is exactly our realistic target, so I'm glad of the team :)
This is the match (9861).
This time I was quite sure to win, we are stronger with a better enthusiasm level than Andorra. However Andorra is currently higher than us on the world ranking, so this victory will improve our position ranking. This is not so bad :)

Bye ;)

well done ;)

thanks ;)

When we started the championship we were 90th in the ranking, now we are 75th! great
and this is the final ranking championship:

1  	Lietuva U21   	7   	0   	783     567     1,000
2 	Israel U21 	6 	1 	725 	564 	0,857
3 	Rossiya U21 	4 	3 	772 	658 	0,571
4 	Bosna U21 	4 	3 	728 	695 	0,571

8 	Andorra U21 	0 	7 	585 	886 	0,000 

Now I'm going to play some friendly matches trying to improve again the world ranking and for try some experiments with the guys :)

i think you and your team should take care about Irish Men's National Team as well, or it would be too much for you? .. i would vote for you guys :)

No offense to Matt, but why would you want to rteplace one of the most talented managers in the world as your coach? The Irish NT losing is nothing to do with the coaching but that Ireland is so far behind the other countries in terms of development. Hopefully Matt's efforts at the U21 level will help supply dhoff with some talented players he can actually win with.

Well done to Matt. This group was extremely difficult and our U-21 NT has done well considering the current state it's in. Matt has done a great job in communicating with the managers of players to get the best out of layer development. We won't really see the fruits of Matt's work until the current crop of 18 year old talents are 21, so the future looks very bright, and I hope Matt is given at least a second term as U-21 boss to see his development of our U-21 NT through.

Looking at our Senior NT I don't think even if you had the best manager in the world you would do well with them. Even doing slightly better with them than their current record would be a push in my opinion. They are poor as our players have been neglected for years, thankfully Matt has taken some major steps to get us to move in the right direction, but it will be a while yet before we see an improvement in our Senior NT.

I don't see why our current Senior NT boss has such a low approval rating as it is, and I certainly don't see why Matt has only 80% approval (Matt should have 100% approval in my view). We are a small nation with few active managers compared to most other nations, and we haven't trained our players in the best way. That's a recipe for disaster anyway you would look at it. Matt has done a great job with us so far, armed us with the tools to get better, but it takes time, and we need to be patient and endure with what we've got. NT's aren't like your league team - you can't go out and buy the players you lack. Although there will always be people unhappy even if your doing well.

Anyway, well done Matt

100% agree with everything you said.

i agree with you.

and knowing matt he'll be not offended by your words.
Major NT and U21 are two different arguments.

we are trying to do a work with irish community, today not so "sensible" to the growth of his "children"... :D
This work will give his fruits at least in season 14-15. And even in that season for the major NT this will be not useful....
we have to work hard for some seasons to see results also in the NT.

dhoff has made the maximum with the player that irish community has to offer.
