Railbird has been hard to get in touch with, I got a few guys working on it. He is one of best posters of all times and has great info with sports in general and inside stuff that know one else has.
Coach you are to be commended. Many people have followed you from forum to forum. Railbird would be a great addition to this forum. I believe this quote best sums up what the Shrink has done. "If you build it, they will come". Shrink has built it and the sharp minds are coming. Patience is a virtue.
Smart move by Shanny, he had no idea the defender would hold, but he planted the thought in the ref's mind so even a little contact would have drawn a flag, coaches do stuff like that all the time
