Locally you've got Ryan trying to increase the membership tally, while you have CFG continually fucking us over with the corporate "brand." Bitterly disappointed with this slap in the face.

My point is that we should let the season start at least before we start judging who our good players are and who our crap players are. Who knows who will step up with our new manager. Florin as a marquee is a joke at this stage and if it doesn't work out Petrillo should be shown the door.

Florin as a marquee is a joke at this stage and if it doesn't work out Petrillo should be shown the door. Petrillo is not to blame actually. If anyone, it's the scouting network headed up by James Poole at CFG. They recruit all our visa players, and scout for all the other clubs in the CFG stable. Petrillo is more about managing contract terms - wages, contract length etc. "Talent management" it's called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he (Berenguer) is any good or not is an interesting discussion but your support for him has IMO condemned him to extreme shitness. You banged on endlessly about Koren and followed with Budzinkski and now with Berenguer. You need to take a good hard look at yourself. By the way personally of the 3 I mentioned, Berenguer is probably the poorest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying he has been crap until now. But my point is that to suggest he is 50/50 to go either way, good or bad, is flawed though because the evidence so far leans toward bad. You seem to want to take this neutral stance on a player that hasn't performed. I'm questioning you on this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it is something that Mombaets has picked up on also seeing that is where he is playing now. Let's just see how he goes. As for Bud, this failure is on Wazza's head and not because Bud was a bad player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't shoot for shit. He looked liked he wasn't capable of following basic positional instructions, he looked like he lacked intensity especially in a tackle. Plus several other fundamental flaws I can't recall. Now I agree 100% that he wasn't helped by being asked to play as a winger, but even still he looked lost. Now this season he could be completely different and alot of his problems mentioned previously can be overcome by fitness and confidence and snagging a goal may be the catalyst for a transformation so I'm quietly optimistic he could turn things around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They watch social media and forums, they'll know there was a buzz about these tops. They've just decided it'll be like licensing a demo in HK.

It’s also probably why the third kit is being released so much later then the other kits, they’ll be hoping that most of the supporters will have already purchased a home or away kit without giving them the option of the third.  It’s a good way to ensure that the red and white kit remains the least prominent on match day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah pretty understandable really. I mean, we're just a small club owned by an ordinary bloke who doesn't have a lot of the ready, and, I mean Puma are pretty small as well so I suppose we're lucky to have the third kit at all really, probably only because we're keen to maintain the old links to red and white...so I don't see why anyone would have expected more really....Just an anniversary really, isn't it, not much to get excited about - pass me another fishpaste sandwich would you dear?

Dylan Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 To add a bit of perspective. I was disappointed with what was released as describe as a ‘full range’ but having a look at other aleague clubs they all seem to get the same range from their kit manufacturers. So I wouldn’t be surprised if this was some kind of FFA restrictive measure. So hopefully this changes next season on and that god awful generic range is banished and the puma stuff expanded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
