Bruno Fornaroli - "El Tuna"

[Cloughie]

I have no doubt Wazza Wanker would have axed Maradona, Ronaldo and Gascoine in their day.

All fat bastards that could still play well

[Inchcolm]

I agree, I remember when BMI (Body Mass Index) was all the rage. The powers at be tried to introduce into our firearms department. They soon found that some of the fittest members were in their words fat. These type of measurements are only indicators and not an exact science as every person is built different with different metabolism. A person still can do his job with a little extra body fat. Ross has been mentioned and Maradona was a superstar with a little bit extra around the waist. Decisions should be made on performance not a medial test. But Joyce is in charge and his rules apply don't make his grade you do not play.

Joyce out. Sick of it. Football isn't great, fine we boot out JVS who played ripping football with Mooy, Novillo and Bruno but then we were spinless in defence. Granted Joyce brought in a bit of spine and shored us up - but we look insipid and toothless in attack, given the calibre of Aus players we have. Not to mention how many statements he has been making with big name players.

Nope, equal 3rd in goals conceded

Correct, equal 2nd last in shots converted.

 

Bad in defence and in attack.

Okay. Lets flip the dice here. Say we had a different coach (one that is alright, and relatively liked). Bruno dogs the team and goes join Sydney for more money....... What are your reactions then?

So you would call bruno a dog for leaving city after 4 years of service to get paid more then double what he's on with us. Come on Haz you seem to me that your just a bit smarter than that.

team chemistry,

hardness at the ball,

killer instinct,

and all abilities that are needed to be competent for certain positions.

A very important metric for Wazza though.

 

 

Also has nothing to do with fitness.

We aren't playing a way that gets the best out of Bruno. We need wingers who like to get in and behind full backs to stretch the back 4 or wingers that get in between full back and centre back to help Bruno escape defenders.

Youre yelling into an empty room. We've been echoing this all season so far.

So for the  Newcastle game, can everyone pull up their shirts and grab their skin folds while yelling at Joyce?

There is so much potential with this Skin Folds thing.

You know that art work where you fold it and a word comes together.

Imagine skin folds that, when rolled, spelled out "Fuck off Joyce".

Oh the potential. So much potential.

As much as I don’t believe “skin folds” or fitness was the reason behind Bruno not playing, a guy like him should always be fit enough to play and it’s disappointing that he didn’t.

But I disagree with you if you think that “skin folds” (fitness) doesn’t have an impact on the above attributes. 

Once fatigue sets in (when skin folds generally = fitness), most of these attributes you listed will be affected.

What are you on about??

I got surplus skinfolds and hardness at the ball.

[Originalmeme]

If we some how manage to let this boil over into a huge drama (everyone is already making a meal of it) and bruno leaves deadset the club is a joke.  We will not get a better striker than him (and not nearly as proven in the A-league).  It will be the straw that breaks the camels I think if we let him go in a shoddy way.  He is already a club legend, and has one of the best reputations in the league as a player minus the diving accusations.

I do not believe he dives .

He exaggerates contact, but there's always contact.

Melbourne City’s Curtis Good has been called up for the Jets clash but Bruno Fornaroli was not included in City's squad ... 

 

 

[Mr MO]

I’m hearing that Curtis Good will directly replace Bruno. Joyce is pleased to see that the CB performs well as a striker.

[Harrison]

Well this is disappointing. 

Clearly something more to this story. I fear that the damage is done and Bruno will ask to leave in January. 

[Torn Asunder]

Supporters / fans / members / the A-League audience deserve a genuine explanation ... not a grovelling e-mail from Ritchie De Laet

[neio]

Let's just wait and see what happens Sunday first. The squads named for aleague on a Thursday are absolutely pointless usually

[rass]

So the club release photos of Bruno happily training on Tuesday and then Joyce says 'fuk that' and still won't name him.

So what's the real story?

Its about time we had a player that the supporters feel so strongly about

[HEARTinator]

SEASON OVER! #WAZZAOUT

[rayv36]

I think this is the first time I have ever felt like I cant be fucked going to a game, fucking Joyce needs to go.

Time to update the #Aloisiout banner

[Originalmeme]

Hes done and said more for our club than any board member, CFG rep, coach or anyone else. Ill always be behind a player like bruno in these current circumstances 

[rayv36]

23rd minute start chanting You don't know what you're doing at Wazza

[Cloughie]

It's alcoholic enough to a drink like one to cause.

I'd hate to have to shit with this deal day in day out sober.

[kingofhearts]

Bring in team 11!

[Dylan]

This may be the straw that finally breaks the camels back

[haz]

Thanks for all you've done Bruno. One of the best the club have ever seen. We'll miss you!

Yeah reckon this might be the beginning of the end for Bruno at our club, surely two weeks in a row means there's a bit more than 'skin folds' going on here.

Sad if so, but just as well we recruited so well up front in the offsea oh that's right

[fensaddler]

Going to be a riot. Everyone needs to turn up, songs about Bruno. Something big in the 23rd minute, like the chant above, complete walk out, but something the TV coverage can't miss. We must make sure that the TV commentary is left in no doubt how the fans feel, and that there is a real meltdown brewing about this. Bruno, whatever we feel about his form right now, is the icon we fight over. Enough already.

"We're going to Team 11" might make the point.

I honestly think that the only thing capable of decent sports media attention is targetting City Group ownership of our club as a focal point of protest.
