Couldnt believe my eyes when i read this! He reckons every Donegal manager during his playing career is to blame for his failure to win anything! What an egotistical pr1ck! From memory they were beat by better teams in ulster finals ie Armagh and to say he lacked "courage" would be an  understatement! He never struck me as a boy that had the stomach for the battle and Armagh knew that! Compare this clown to the likes of Michael Murphy?!? Who woukd consider buying a book that Devenney wrote?!? The man has zero class, blaming men incl Mceniff for his own inadequacies!!!

Hi, just joined forum but was looking a bit of advice.

My club has decided to set up like a football academy for underage football. I attended a recent internal coaching course and when they spoke about coaching u8 and u10s a few things were mentioned that i didnt agree with so I queried them.

Here goes, i asked should we not be encouraging u8 and in particular u10s to be kicking off both feet, well at least introducing the concept and encourage it, i was basically told I didn't know what I was talking about and that the idea of playing off both sides would only be introduced at u14 or even u16 when they were more physically prepared! I found this very alarming, but after heated debate i gave in to greater consensus. I would love to know what other clubs are doing and if my views on coaching are wrong?? I was going to contact our county development officer for advice but that would only highlight the issue within the club.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
