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

[gaskin]

I would be surprised if he did go to WSW since he has been mentioning Europe the past couple of seasons and there have been a few links with some Belgian clubs recently.

 

[XXRL]

Clearly seems like there are some major issues at PGFC unfortunately.

Risdon jumping ship to WSW, the Rhys Williams saga, our patchy and indifferent form all points to issues with the culture and leadership for mine.

I don't think Kenny's the man, but equally, I think any manager would struggle while Sage is owner and Chairman, and Jacob Burns is still involved.

Ange wrote in his book about meeting Clive Palmer about the Gold Coast job and Clive started talking about the input he wanted in team selection. Ange told him to GAGF and there was no way he was taking a managerial job where the Chairman gets to have input into the team. Not saying that's the problem here but there are obviously serious issues.

 

[gaskin]

I think the "issues" if there are any at all are being blown out of proportion. There is obviously something between Kenny and Williams and the coach is always going to win out. Risdon on the other hand was never going to be here next season. I was surprised he was here for this season.

I do agree that Sage needs to sell but he has tried in the past and nobody has wanted to buy us.

What's wrong with Burns?

 

[perthblue]

I already made my peace with Rizzo leaving after this season, however if he goes to another A-league club I will be filthy

 

[Scotland]

Going for Perth must be what going for Richmond or Freo feels like.

Piss weak penalty, meek defending, 2-1 down. Ugh. Reminds me of the Newcastle game at home a few weeks ago.

 

[perthblue]

defending on that second goal was the worst pieceof s**t I've seen

castro visibly frustated

 

[Scotland]

2-2.

Harold creates a lot of goals for a guy that we hardly ever pass the ball to.

 

[Scotland]

Odds on Kenny Lowe spontaneously combusting before the 90 min is up?

 

[perthblue]

shut the * up kenny

 

[perthblue]

Frustrating point

castro and taggart fluffed some absolute sitters

 

[gaskin]

We are going to miss Griffiths big time against the Victory. I hope to get the 2nd yellow (not even a yellow worthy challenge) changed to a straight red he called Lucas a dirty f****** cheat.

 

[bok_party]

Our finishing has been poor all season. That's what's costing us games. We'd never be in these situations if we buried them.

Does Rhys get a call back with rostyn and grant out?

 

[gaskin]

Does Rhys get a call back with rostyn and grant out?

Doubt it. Wilson will come in for Rostyn and Dino for Grant if he doesn't get up for next week.

 

[Scotland]

Did Griffiths purposely bait the ref into the straight red?

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Did Griffiths purposely bait the ref into the straight red?

He's a feiry competitor, wasn't surprised to see him lose his s**t

 

[gaskin]

Did Griffiths purposely bait the ref into the straight red?

I think at that point he was fed up with the ref being so inept that he just decided to take one for the team and blast him.

 

[perthblue]

Did Griffiths purposely bait the ref into the straight red?

no he's just a hothead

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

It's more some players have had a spat with Andy Ord the assistant who can be a bit rambonctious by all reports. East Coast press make it out like we're to blame for the Williams saga too. Also, for those bagging out Sage he's kept away and out of the media since we had the new CEO.

Sorry to be positive as well but 4 goals in 5 games for Taggart. Not bad.

 

[gaskin]

Danny De Silva has officially left Roda. I wouldn't mind bringing him back if he wants to come home.

Fair enough and good insight.

My comments earlier were more a general rant about the culture of the club and I believe Sage has to be at least partly accountable for that.

I've been very impressed with the new CEO.

The media interpretation of the Rhys Williams issue is frustrating. Not sure any of the people commenting actually watched him play. He was meant to be playing CB and kept getting sucked out of position as if he had in his head that he could win the ball, beat a couple of players and lob the keeper. He was arrogant and undisciplined and unwilling to play the role he'd been assigned. No wonder he was dropped!

Also, our front four of Keogh, Tags, Harold and Castro is starting to look the goods.

 

[gaskin]

Griffiths suspended for 2 matches. 1 for the 2 yellows and 1 for the straight red.

[bok_party]

Geez he's lucky there in the end. Surprised that yellow didn't get rescinded though.

 

[XXRL]

That's about the best he was going to get. Essentially cost himself an extra week with his outburst. Not great.

 

[gaskin]

Williams is back in the squad for this week but I very highly doubt he will play unless Kenny decides to go ultra defensive.
