That would be fantastic! If he could do a decent job there then who knows...

This, but when they have been fouled and before the ref blows the whistle they hold the ball on the floor. Ermm that should be a booking for deliberate handball! Twa*

Would you recommend the course or do you think taking a course solely on psychology? Because thats the cuorse Chris pointed out and it seemed quite interesting to me. Cheers

Nope Liam Bramley U12 coach And Craig that sounds really interesting. What degree did you take? Sport Science Psychology?

Newcastle, Sunderland or Norhumbria all run the same course (which is validated by Leeds Met.), should find out at the end of the month. It can only help towards getting a job coaching. I'll have to wait for all the paper work to come back, and will probably want to do 2-3 months coaching my team before doing Level 2, but I'll be doing it. Only had 1 AP on the sheet, which was basically level 2 stuff (I think). Personal/Individual coaching within the session for people of different abilities. Having a word with the weaker players and taking them through the motions whilst the rest doing what I've asked. Or setting challenges to the more gifted players (use your other foot, or see if you can do this). At least I know who to come to for advice if I can get on the Sports Science/Coaching course! What Sport Science course you looking to do? And i forgot to add the young bloke who coaches at Newcastle is originally from Sheffield and he went to Northumbria Uni and did a sports science course there and after a couple of years got the job at the academy. He only did his level 1 at Uni because it was part of the course. So in reality your a couple of steps ahead of him. Basically Chris this is exactly the same sort of route i want to do and when i heard his story it made me think if he can do it so can i!

Lock it now!

Erm no not like that. I asekd that question to him as well, and he said like obviously CRB and stuff but also if they beleive you'd be a good role model etc. Seems fair enough IMO

Similair to what i fancy doing. I know the Academy route is possbile because the bloke who took my level 1 and also level 2 is only 25 and was working at Newcastle's Academy when he got his Level 3. He's now got his UEFA A. So it is possible if you're good enough and want it. I asked him about it and he said to get in they need to look at your background and obviously how good a coach you are etc

This.

Just realised that formation is a smiley face

Good luck, Caz! Seconded. What are you wanting to do if and when you get your level 3?

when he was pushed out by journo's...

I thought it was longer than that according to what other people were saying. Unless its because its during the Summer. But thanks mate

I'm starting my Level 2 next week. How long does it last for? And how hard is it in anybody's opinion?

Its not just Capello, which has been said before. But a whole number of things. I was watching SSN this morning and a German jounralist was on and was saying Terry, Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney earn more than the entire German squad. This single reason alone shows how the German players are going to have more passion for Germany and want to do well for their country. So i'm laying the blame partly at Sky's door for contributing to the overpayment of players and influxing 'Divison 1' with foreign players blah blah blah. I really cannot be bothered to go on. But thats just one of the tiny reasons for Englands failure of course

Fantastic article

Alan Shearer 63 caps, 30 goals

That might work, because they did seem to struggle with the long ball a few times last night

Good man

Yes, if i pass my Level 2 i will really be looking into a possible career. I have contacted Gateshead over any possible job to just get my foot in the door including maintenance etc... However, i'm not sure which uni course in Sports Science would be the best to help me

I pi***d meself there

I forgot about that

I would recommend doing it. I'm taking my Level 2 abdge this summer in a couple of weeks time. It's basically impossible to fail your Level 1 though, so its worth the money IMO, you also learn how to do to First Aid which i think is a good thing to have anyway.

Its starting to remind me of Mike Basset England Manager... Things like you have to play 4-5-1 everybody can see it etc ANd i can just imagine Capello stanidng up and saying we'll be playing 4-4 Fuc**g 2! Thats how sh**e we've been

At least we had nice tops then though! Love some of the TOFF's stuff
