Replying To TheFlaker:  "Most junior teams are feeder teams for the senior team and also give lads from the minor grade a chance to prepare for senior football. Maybe you are being serious but if you are telling me that the junior manager texts the lads to go for pints then your club in general must be a shambles. If the senior team is good and has a good set up, the club wouldn't allow someone like that to be in charge of a junior team , not in my club anyway!"

Replying To Llaw_Gyffes:  "We're certainly not from the same club then Flaker. A few years ago we had a senior manager who used the junior grade to try out lads on the fringe of the senior team and any young lads who were showing promise. His motto was to go out and try and win every competition we entered. It was the most successful year we ever had. This year the senior manager also doubled as junior manager for the first couple of games but couldn't manage the workload so delegated to this genius. His motto seems to be turn up on the day and you'll get a game. It got to the stage where he was making three or four changes after twenty minutes to give lads, who hadn't been at a training session, a game. The lads who were serious about playing just opted out. Things have gone so downhill that they were unable to field a team for the championship. Now I have no problem with having a so called pub team for lads who just want to go out and have a laugh without taking things too seriously. I just don't think it should be the club's B team though. Interestingly the senior team are doing quite well."
