Two completely different things. Being notified whether you are in the team or just getting basically a "well done" for a good performance.

If you have been training with the first team squad all week and even announced in the initial 17 or 18 man squad for the weekends match, it should be at the very least common courtesy to receive a phone call from the coach that you have not made the final squad of fifteen and a reason given....not to just receive a ****ing text message. This is all part of the "man-management" part of coaching where the coach is supposed to make every player in the squad feel that they are important and a part of the club, even if they aren't actually playing.
Where a coach doesn't make an effort to sit down and talk with a player and discuss with him where he can impove in order to make the team, and instead just sends a text message that to me is a lazy coach who doesn't give a **** about his players and creating a good, positive team environment where everyone can excel.
Anyone care to argue the point???
