Obviously not saying every Argentinian player is like that but rather its apart of their culture and some take longer than others to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine by now (Wednesday) he will have probably been told and seen the video so maybe we might see some improvement in that situation. Fingers crossed !!

SF33 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I think the refs have over-corrected with Brandan. He's got absolutely nothing from them since that Perth game just after Christmas, even when he's being fouled, clear as day. On 11/12/2016 at 1:45 PM, japiedog said: great goal the other night, but he is going to cost us free kicks and penalties due to his theatrics, refs will unfortunately second guess if it's really a foul or simulation, And a defender is going to give him a real kicking that could end up being a serious injury, back when I played, if a player was giving Oscar winning performances, you'd have a quiet word, saying " Next time you go near the ball I'll make sure you'll really be rolling around on the ground" Called it.

What a disaster Yeah he was sorting out some Coke with Jimmy from Sunnyvale in the local KFC carpark. Shit hit the fan when Jimmys junkie mates came out from the alleyway with knives and bottles ready to roll him for the dosh and Coke. Fernando hit the legs but as he was turning the corner the coppa dogs were there and he shat himself and as he turned on his left leg he's done his ACL. The junkies caught up, rolled him, bashed the cops and proceeded to snort the Coke down at Shazzas place. Unlucky Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's occupying a visa slot so there may be issues with CFG being willing to pay for an injury replacement.

I would have thought that there would be at least part-payment of wages coming from whoever we take insurance with. Quite how it all works though I don't know. We're going to pay Cahill something like $2.5m less next season, so I can't really see CFG drawing a line through an injury replacement for Fernando.

The player payments are made by the player injury insurance and the financial burden is not carried by the franchise.

SF33 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 That's devastating. My heart says I hope we retain him and that he's ready to come back for us in about January, 2018, but the head says we may as well cut our losses. It's been a fun ride, Pumba.
