2016/17 Perth Glory Thread-20 Years of Glory..Castro for Premier!

[ilikepotatoes]

If he's the gy from Zwolle then we may have a decent player on ori hands. They've made a decent run of it in the eredivisie over the past few years.

Also, just started watching the game on the fox sports website, Warren set to be a starter this season???!!!

Warren set to be a starter this season???!!!

Dunno. He was on a trial the couple of pre-season games we had against Cockburn and Inglewood.

Why? Is he playing well?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Why haven't we signed Ruka?

 

[gaskin]

He might not want to come.

 

[holy diver]

Well, after the way last season ended for the club I'm not surprised if Ruka has gone cold on Glory.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Ruka most definitely doesn't want to come back. He thinks he's still worthy of somewhere nice in Europe. Seeing as his Socceroos career is looking dead too he's seeing himself more European than Australian anyway.

 

[Freight Train]

Keen for the new season!

What's everyone's guesses as to where we are going to end up this season? Going by our FFA Cup form, I'm tempted to say we can make the finals at least.

 

[gaskin]

Probably last. We have no decent strikers what-so-ever and going by our FFA Cup form I don't see how anyone could say based off that we can make the finals.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

What an absolute BS goal to concede first up.

What an absolute BS goal to concede first up.

Especially after a dodgy offside call taking away the opening goal.

Nice finish by Garcia.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

2 penalties now.

This is going to be a long season.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Never wanted Golec, and what was Fernandez doing?

 

[gaskin]

Lol.

Unlucky not to get something at the end with those saves from Reddy. Lucky to be that close. Those pens are 2 of the worst, most blatant we will see all season. Defence is usually pretty solid but they need some serious sorting out in the coming weeks.

 

[holy diver]

s**t start to the season. That goal wasn't offside either so we should've been 3-3.

Still glimpses of some good stuff. We're not overly blessed with blistering speed.

What the * was with Ned Zelic in commentary? Was he coming down or something?

Hopefully we can open up the season proper next week and get the three points against the nix at home.

 

[gaskin]

That's just Zelic. I can't understand why people don't like him.

 

[holy diver]

Because he speaks like a knob.

 

[gaskin]

He's hilarious and makes it entertaining. For some reason people hate characters in sport.

I just thought they way he relentlessly moaned about Castro (he had a point a few times) and less than objective view on calling our game was shite.

Couldnt feel the funnies.

He's no BT or Bozza.

 

[gaskin]

To be fair once Castro actually started playing well in the 2nd half he did praise him.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Keogh apparently on his way back on loan about midseason, according to 6pr.

That would be refreshing

 

[gaskin]

I hope not. He was apparently a big part of that bullshit last season.

 

[holy diver]

Accumulating 40 points last season or a portion of the salary cap breaches - Keogh certainly was apart of it.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

I hope not. He was apparently a big part of that bullshit last season.

I still can't believe he isn't/wasn't a marquee.
Give him a sniff and he punishes.

 

[Freight Train]

Finally got around to watching the game because I've had a day off today... who the frak is Guyon Fernandes and in what fraking world did he think a challenge like that would be appropriate in the penalty area?!

I still have high hopes though, Diego Castro showed promise and if the news about Keogh is true, that would be wonderful (hopefully he cuts off that pissweak topknot he's brandishing these days though). The team is still getting used to each other given the massive overhaul in the off-season, so hopefully guys like Risdon, Garcia and Nebo can lift and we can move on from this- we just need to stop inviting pressure like we did in that game. Central Coast found it too easy to constantly make attacks and our counter attacks were lacking. That junk-time goal was BS.
