i wont press into your thinking behind the strategy anymore. thats being too nosy.. im just going to highlight some things..
well,, you did think about the consolation after you lost to iran. the proof is in this thread, you said that the philippines is the clear asia favorite to have the highest rank in the tourney.. and i am 100% sure that you know that you qualified for the wc qualifiers. im entitled to think as a person so im just sharing here my assumptions without filter..
and you said that you did everything for australia solely. of course its a given to ur position.. i dont care less about you being loyal to jeorge or james or whatever.. but ur increased interactions to this forum, including spending time to translate what beardy's pr said in another forum,, still boggles the mind.
i assume that ur planning to run for the seniors.. you didnt bother to answer that in my previous post and jeorge answered that for you indirectly by saying to widen our options for candidates.. thats fine anyway because declaring for the election is a right for everyone experienced..
may i remind all whos planning to run to be the nt manager to be loyal to the country, not to your friends.. thats what i notice. if the manager is favorable to the vets, they praise that manager in public. if the manager is not part of the vets bloc, everyone pits on him. beardy is an example.
there are 3 groups existing in this community: veterans, middle ground, newbies. veterans are those that claim to be knowledgeable and very helpful to the newbies but continues to pin down the mistakes of others.. take for example, ash. ash took everything personal. he obviously have personal hatred against fabio after fabio lost his cool and ash decided to post about the ignore user button in the other thread. i also check the ppl forum and ash said trolls in this forum. whos trolling him here? im the only one whos being noisy now, and i admit it.. but i am not a troll. troll are fake accounts.. and if not fake account, theyre being noisy without facts. but im speaking with facts, so im not a troll.
im pretty sure that ash is waiting to start a drama again.. to those who say that its criticism, not all statements against what the manager is doing can be called criticism. ash continued on pinning and gunning fabio spite of fabio acknowledging and correcting his mistakes, as we can see in this thread. hes obviously want to pull him down. and he ignored me.. cant take the heat.
there are also vet outcasts like james fabio, me, and ghazny.
and theres the middle ground. the middle ground has ppl who are either leaning to being a vet or newbie. jeorgians is in the middle ground. beardy, too. archfiend, the barking can, is also in the middle ground.. archfiend aka rad chad is wiping the sweat of the vets.. everyone that shows support to fabio and beardy are easily seen as dds. tsk.
and theres the newbies. all arguments raised by the vets are for this group. ash and obi are exampels.. as if training newbies is a responsibility by the u21 coach himself.. he can have staff to assist the newbies, and since the forums is what the vets claim as the center of knowledge, newbies can scroll through the forums and find tips. they, the vets, can also assist the newbies without using that to pull down whoever is sitting in u21..
in turn, managers perform for the sake of pleasing the vets and those that are active in the forums.. do all the good things that sparkles the eyes of the vets and youll be loved even if you dont make it far in the tourney (like f1)..
why? because this vets have the power to influence the whole community.. just look at my pointers above!! the innovations brought by beardy is opposed by the vets.. contributing to his low rating. for those who cant read, i said contribute, so it is a part of it.
so those who wants to run,, be bold and prepare to counter whatever the vets are raising as long as it is good and just. its your
