RIP forever Sir Bobby, will never be forgotten!

In the US the season for football is split into the 4 seasons. The busiest time is across the summer, for the camps which is why the demand for summer coaches is higher than the rest of the year. 9 Month contracts run from March to November to cover team coaching that companies often have, which involves being a trainer to different teams just doing the sessions on different nights. September on wards is often when you have rec sessions and travel teams start again. Winter is mainly seen as the close season, with not as much soccer being played. That's why the main contracts finish is Nov then don't start again until March. Although this will all depend on the state you are, and the set up of the company or organisation. I was in New Jersey for 5 and a half months.

Although saying that, it's a perfect time to do one of these interviews, the seasons over and there is a whole transfer window still to come I guess we will be able to make our minds up after we hear what Barton has to say.

The club really have messed up the renewals this year! Anyone else take the annual direct debit option? If so any idea when the money is due to come out of a bank account?

Interesting to find out what he's going to say, hopefully it won't make things worse!

Will not be missed at all!

I've been to two different talk in's with Joey, the one last week and the other at the Hilton. At both he was very open about wanting to sign a new contract and staying at the club. He'd said that he was willing to take the 20k pay cut, but when the club offered him a contract it was half of what he is on now. That they changed the 'agreement' before anything was put forward to sign. I'm hoping this latest talk is just his agent trying to stir things up, as if Barton doesn't sign I very much doubt Nolan will sign a contract offered to him!

Eh, I don't mind. Barely ever notice what the Keeper's wearing anyway. I must notice a bit more with sitting behind the goal, lol.

Seems like too much black on it! But sure it will grow on us . . . Goalkeeper strip is awful! But we don't seem to get many nice GK kits.

I hope not! That's awful!

Starting the FA Youth Module 1 next week, so I will let you all know what it is like. Been told that it is a very good course! Getting myself sorted and booking onto Module 2 in June/July. Also read on the Northumberland FA website that they have the Module 3 in August/September.

One of my all time favorites as I am in it!

Was just reading a blog post from December about that! http://youthsoccerlessonplans.blogspot.com/2010/12/philosophy-justin-wheatley.html The special was on anytime tv on Sky if you have that. Funny as when I was watching it, was thinking that our U12 girls play 9v9 anyway! I don't agree with that guys suggestion of U13-U15 playing 9v9. Maybe U13's but U14/U15 should be 11v11 in my opinion!

I'm looking forward to the talk in! Who else is going?

There is an option to tick on the dd form for either 1st or 15th. Yeah I've seen that but thought it was for the monthly installments.

I've seen U11 and U12 boys teams playing 11v11 on full size pitches! Watched the special on Sky Sports News about the future of the grassroots game, talking about changing U12 to 9-a-side by 2013.

Does anyone know what date the direct debit will come out of your bank account if you opt for the annual 10 year direct debit option?

Happy Birthday Sir Bobby! Never forgotten, RIP.

I still haven't had mine through either.

Totally crazy! We couldn't actually believe someone had failed lol. It was funny though seeing Robin Hood and Traffic lights when we were doing our Phase of Plays, Functions and SSGs haha. Going to be doing the Youth Modules 1 and 2 this year, looking forward to them as heard they are good courses.

When I was doing my level 3, a level 1 course was going on for the week. Some guy failed it because when it came to his assessment he said to the players, you's know how to play we done it the other day!!!?!?!

Would love him back!

I think I might of actually collapsed!

Such a tough choice. But gone for today's comeback as we had the Mackems all over in the 5-1 mauling, whereas today we didn't even look like getting a goal back at half time!

What a moment that goal created Fantastic pictures!
