Damn. You're absolutely right. It's where we've been going wrong all this time. We need athletic darts players, acrobatic golfers and stealthy snooker players.
A decent forwards coach would surely be a benefit. Morison was part of the coaching staff and was a forward in his playing days. It’s tempting to suggest had he been a more successful goal scoring forward that would have enhanced his coaching skill but I’m not sure it makes much difference. All professional footballers are coached to within an inch of their lives from a young age so they should come into the football club with the knowledge and skills ready to go, and get better with each game and learning more skills from the coaching staff. As I see it at City the coaching staff is a little lightweight. Maybe this needs addressing.
Someone who can hit the target, which they seem to do in the other sports, with a far greater margin of error is not asking a lot. Exactly who are these coaches and what great strikers have they improved? Nameless strikers then a nameless manager now a nameless coach who apparently will see any side win promotion they are that good.
How often does a dart player hit the double (s)he's aiming at? 30%. On a really good day, 50%. Oh, and thats with nobody trying to stop it. You're right. Players just go out and play. No practice, no coaching. Its all natural, just do it. Hell, why bother with training, just turn up and play.
Just been watching darts in sky and it’s incredible how they can hit treble this and treble that and then miss double after double. Like in all sports; golfers miss 12 inch putts, snooker players miss the black off the spot, and footballers miss open goals - when 99 times out of 100 they don’t. Tell you what - it’s these misses which make watching sport so addictive.
Yeah, darts players, snooker players, golfers, athletes et al don't have coaches specific to their skills. Ooh wait a minute, I've just heard that they all do.
What, they have coaches and STILL miss. Just grip the dart, aim for the target, nice and smooth. And what is it with snooker players. Its not like the balls are moving when they hit them.
You may think he's entertainment value. To me he's just an annoying WUM with a very suspicious board name. Put him on ignore, like I have done. Life is much simpler without his inane drivel. You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you, don't you?
You would need to stand a mile away from the goal to reduce it to the size of double top or a snooker pocket, Oh and cricketers catch a moving ball going at 100 miles an hour flying off the bat...because they are alert and ready and expecting it.
