  1. Iain Ramsay

    in Melbourne City

    Watching Ramsay brings back horrible memories for me. His professional career has mimicked my sunday league football career to the letter. Always played left wing or second striker on the usual virtue of being the only left footed player and having a bit of pace, would score goals but couldn't cross for shit. Several hamstring and groin tears later and the resultant lack of pace saw me moved into left back where my complete lack of any ability to tackle or position myself properly was exposed regularly and more often than not saw me just fouling whatever cocky young dickhead the opposition would inevitably have playing right wing before he'd have a chance to skin me again.

    I feel your pain Ramsay but gtfo!

    Sign perthheart ffs!!!

  4. 2014/15 Nike Kits (Home, Away, Third)

    in Melbourne City

    Posted · Edited by Cinnamon

    just thought id make myself feel bad by seeing what nike gear is out for some other teams

     

    http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pw/barcelona/99m

     

    looking here though barca has the biggest range, then city and it drops away pretty sharply after that

     

    Edit: Ive since learnt how to nominate different countries nike web stores and the ranges change dramatically (the one i linked was the US/default one hence the poor range)

     

    Edit 2: the Dutch site still only has the home and away kit and 2 balls for PSV

  5. Football VS AFL

    dont forget the media love drumming up a good spat too. If I'm to believe the morning news the AFL and Football relations have never been worse due to the possibility of a scheduling issue for the potential A-League Grand Final should it be played at Etihad.

    DLed tapatalk, I think you're right about it being more for those that frequent multiple forums.

    For me (I only use this forum) it didn't seem to offer me any advantages over the mobile version of this site so I will stick with that, infact the mobile site seemed better to navigate but that might just be because that's what I'm used to.

  10. MVFC v MCFC - The Derby! R3

    After reading some of these posts here recently I thought I must be wrong in my understanding of what a supporter is...

    supporter

    səˈpɔːtə/

    noun

    noun: supporter; plural noun: supporters

    a person who is actively interested in and wishes success for a particular sports team.

    Nope, just what I thought. Must be that we have members on this forum who don't fit the definition. Which makes me wonder what they get out of being here, surely whinging about a team they dont support doesn't make them happy.

    Threats to stop "supporting" the club or professing stories of those you know who have decided not to "support" the club anymore are laughable and you're picking the wrong audience, jog on, you won't find anyone here begging for you to return.

    And before any sensitive types misread what I've just posted, critisism of the club is a form of support and constructive critisism is and should be welcome.

  12. Player injuries

    So i thought id finally update the original post for this and get it back in action for the season.

    Little point i noticed was that Redmayne is now wearing the no 1 shirt instead of Tando, there was a switcheroo at some stage in the off season.

    Also if our manager is to be believed everyone is fit except for Koren as of this round with D Williams expected to only be out for the single round and the trio of Chapman, Garuccio and Germano (lol) back to full fitness.

    I think chapman was injured in youth league on Sunday. You are correct HUN reporting its a week for him with a hamstring

  13. David Villa

    And remember, playing with this team would have been a major adjustment for him. After playing at such a high level for so long, it must have been tough for him to come down here, pretty much miss the pre-season with his team and make an immediate impact. The fact the he saved us in two games, speaks volumes of his class

    When Kewell first signed on to play for the scum it took him almost two thirds of the season to adjust to the lower quality of play.

    I genuinely believe that Villa is struggling to understand/read what his team mates around him are going to do as it is a significant level below what he is used to.

    So instead of making runs on instinct from years of superior coaching, he now has to think what is this retard about to do? And, where do I have to position myself so that his inferior skills will still allow him to get the ball?

    The short answer for him atm is, right behind Ramsey. Sooner or later the ball will be there either in the possession of the opponent or because it's travelling in a backward passing motion

    with the quality of players we had on the park I the attacking third, it's disappointing that we didn't really test them near as much as we should've

    I can't even remember stringing a few passes together to allow villa/Duff to run at their defenders in a dangerous position

    the terrible stat was that at halftime our passes complete percentage was only 69%, and that was our good half

    I think if Ghuangzhou can get Lippi, surely CFG have the cash to throw at someone good.

    Unfortunately a lot of those types would shy away from the salary capped league, much harder to buy success and they don't want to stuff their rep
