    Ahh, here’s one I can reply to actually having seen what the other side of the coin from well keepered estates owned and maintained by wealthy landlords looks like. Your idea sounds fantastic in theory don’t it, redistribute the land back to the common man and all that old bollocks.....let me tell you, it’s a wildlife disaster ! As you may or may not know, ireland has no culture of keepered estates or lords or anything like that. Many of Its great country houses, formerly residences of lords have been allowed to fall into disrepair and ruin......no doubt all of that from ki

    I wonder if you will ever see a time when a black person will want to prevail in any sphere of life without trying to weigh the odds by mentioning they are black ? Dont they find this stuff embarrassing ? I mean, they scream like f**k when you mention the major statistic of their achievements as a race but they want to play the black card for everything else.......bizarre.

    Another one of the 3% that constitute the 35% ........or if your in London, the 10% that constitute the 60%

    Gunmen level all the foxes, one flash of light and they are gone into a block of forestry......it’s f***ing soul destroying, hence why I no longer have a dog. The land closer to Dublin and up north would suit a runner better mate.

    A decent animal when you just want to bump into anything and everything mate. Miss this old boy, he was my pal.

    How you baring up matey?......keeping occupied ?

    Ahh, I saw Chris with one of his dogs at a hunt show once.....the dog was everything I like in a dog, big, powerful, athletic, about 28 inch......it was a very, very impressive beast.

    Did you know the parents mate?

    Just seen the picture of that dog mate, that’s my type of animal.....it looks a real machine.

    Whatever you choose to do it would be nice to see the finished article. all the best

    Depends what he wants it for.....see to my mind it’s this: You add a bit of bull to a saluki grey to just give it something extra But I can’t see what a saluki brings to a good wheaton if you get my drift. Run any dog with saluki blood at its 4th or 5th fox (or whatever) of the night and it’s the saluki blood that will blow up. I can only see one reason to have a Wheaton cross and saluki blood has no place in there. Just my humble and very uneducated opinion of course If.....and it is only an IF.....if I wanted a Wheaton Cross I’d want to find the most thick as

    Well, I suppose it depends what you want to do with it really.......it’s like Sal/bull/grey, tidy all round dogs (I had one myself and really liked him) but you wouldn’t choose it if you had very heavy duty work in mind on a regular basis.
  16. WILF
    Why would you put a Wheaton to a Saluki? .........can’t see the logic in that ?
  17. WILF
    One of the best two dogs I have ever seen was a smooth coated Wheaton greyhound.....it was simply lethal ! Everything about the dog was outstanding, it’s nature when at rest and the way it just destroyed it’s quarry at work.

    That’s amazing mate ! Haha Where I’m from Saturday & Sunday football is very strong around East London and Essex......there’s some really good teams and really good players and I’d say the standard is generally high.

    Mate, I watch men’s Sunday league teams sometimes over here in Ireland and to a man none of them talk, can play a line in the defence or offside, they have no shape, players just take off and go missing out of position, they think every tackle is a free kick........it’s howling to watch. I find showing a kid how to take throw in 10 times much less frustrating than watching that ! Lol

    Very true that mate, imho with young minds it should always be fun (the application of pressure/a push should be very gentle and un-noticed) With senior player (again imho) it should be demanding but with a reward.....light at the end of the tunnel shall we say. You can’t continually beat a bloke, you have to elevate him at some point when he has shown the desire to try and worked hard.

    I’ll just add that watching a lot of these top level coaches in videos it’s important to remember that they are working with elite players at whatever age group it may be......the likes of me are not and it’s very, very important to keep that in mind. By all means encourage excellence (notice I used the word encourage ) but keep in mind the realities of your players abilities, characters and situation and of course their age......the most important thing is that they are happy when they are at football. How are you enjoying your season and coaching Tandors ?

    His style would be a bit too hard for me except for more mature players.....however I think his principals of excellence are relevant across the age groups and could easily be adapted by moderating your voice tone and allowing a bit more time for players to get it right. My mantra to all age groups is this: Good players want to be good players all the time. That means games, training, having a mess about with your mates......all the time. I watched that Woking thing just now, I really like stuff like that so thanks for the heads up

    Have you watched any of Frans Hoek on YouTube mate?

    I think you have a case.....I just don’t think it’s always the case. Some people are just wired up wrong or something in their DNA predisposes them to acting like savages.
