Wrong hand to wrong foot is actually the optimal solo. Less space to get a hand in and looks cooler.
But for 95% of young lads you’d probably be right to tell them not to do it

Tis ok to start them one way but once they start to adapt, let the man play
Not really . If you can solo same hand same foot you can push the tackle away with your free hand , massive benefit especially when one on one with last defender

The fellas who can do it, tend to have both in their locker. The same hand to same leg is optimal when running full pelt too. But in the tight spaces the wrong hand drop minimizes the defenders chance to get in. The good ones are barely dropping it at all.
Clifford more brings the leg up than let’s the ball down.

Apparently right leg to left hand is optimal when going full pelt as no stride broken as left hand is out already. But do it when no one beside you - otherwise use left hand to fend off defender and catch ball with right
Started dummy solo and bounce in training this week which took a while for a few lads to grasp. Got turned over multiple times yesterday in match as every lad tried to put it into practice

You have to be very careful what you tell them to do. Because that is all they will do

I looked at that and absolutely everything he did was wrong but he is one of the best so can get away with it
We’re at the last of our games so I said try and get as many in as you can. One lad was like George best going back again and again to dummy a fella before he got burst. Prob shouldn’t have started it v Ballymun

Defender won’t dive in cos it’s solely Clifford

He would likely have made a bollox of him if he did TBF.
He was going well to still be standing there. Clifford slammed on the brakes and would have had most defenders on their arse

I must admit, this gave me a chuckle

Well lads have we all filled in the FRC survey?
Did you get an email from Jim as well?
Few of the lads here wont have gotten it thought, would you hazard a guess as to why?
how the fuck did Jim get my email?
He knows you’re the contrary sort of bastard who’ll challenge him.
