Your Single Message To Frank

[swaledale]

.... and then you simply forget the screenshots from FA Coaching Manuals I posted on another thread on this matter. You said then it only exists in my imagination, or words to that effect. I then posted said manuals. No reply from you. That speaks volumes.

To carry this a little further, even if I was the only person in the world to include the keeper in formation descriptions, and I'm not, who the hell do you think you are telling me how I may describe a formation. A one time comment that you think it's wrong/OTT/superfluous would suffice for most people. Not you, apparently. No you continue to tell me not to do it.

Swale, do one me owd.

Merely pointing out what a pretentious ~~~~ you are! I forgot the dutch FA coaching manual you showed, which indicated it was used at youth level, not seen it in any coaching manual or by any other person to be frank involved in the adult game, so I'm curious as to why you use it to describe formations?

Its not only very odd, but not actually used by anyone but you on here and seems frankly an attempt to look like a smart arse.

Your view to which you are entitled Swale. I would like to point out an error in your post. The pages I posted from coaching manuals were from ENGLISH COUNTY FA manuals. Not the Dutch FA as you posted.

As for my usage of the 1- formation types, it is somethng I have become used to over 20 odd years of coaching in Holland.

Maybe you could view this in the same way certain items in England get called different things in different areas of the country.

For example, is it a savoury duck or a faggot. Is it a bread roll, a cob, a bap or a barmcake..........

In the same way, is it 442 or 1-4-4-2?
