KSK_47 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Off the bench...This guy did well in Asia without having to run, because he was coming up against midgets.And once he is on the pitch? Just instruct him to take up space? I assume anyone who knows anything about him would try to get as many crosses as possible to him. Thats what I mean by no utilized properly. I'm not saying he was a great signing or anything, I just think that most people's aggression towards him because he is slow and unfit should probably be directed elsewhere. We've never played that way anyhow. I know. We sign a guy who has obvious physical limitations and then play in a way that does not suit him what so ever. Then people crack the shits at him for not doing a good job.Like I've said, I'm glad he's gone but the people who decided it was a good idea to sign him are still here. They are the ones I'm pissed off at.Yeah i think it was a bit naive on behalf of the club but there's alot of things that weren't perfect in the first year that will take time to learn from It would be really nice if we could get people at the club who dont have to learn on the job for once.

Tesla Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Cant say I'm particularly upset to hear this news. Although I dont think he was utilized properly while he was with us, I am not sad to see him go.Lol, the bloke couldn't run, what did you want us to do? Have him stand on the penalty spot and wait for him to be onside then deliver to him? Bloke could never run, didn't stop him scoring throughout his career.Another career destroyed by JVS. Probably for the best he is gone though, really cbf watching another season of Kennedy putting crosses into the box for a winger, rather than the other way around ffs.FWIW, probably the best crosser we ever had.Fold the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus his brother may also end up leaving, irreplaceable goalkeeping coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icantthinkofacoolname Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Good yet sad news. He was getting too old and probably wasn't the quality we were after but I'll always remember how good he was for national team. That goal to send australia to Brazil in particular.

Deeming Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Well done for retiring when he was no longer up to it rather than just hanging around to get a pay cheque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 To be able to retire earning millions doing something you love and be a household name, even a hero at a stretch, is something most people won't ever achieve. As a result Im so glad he retired and is the best news of the off season so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Well done for retiring when he was no longer up to it rather than just hanging around to get a pay cheque. Probably received some sort of mutual termination fee. You'd think it wouldn't be far off his full salary either given he could just show up to training and pocket the cash anyway.In b4 no money left for another Australian marquee.

mus-28 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Not sure why there is talk of Burns as new marquee. Can't see Wellington releasing him out of the goodness of their heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Info@VW Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Must say Malimate was on this from when we were rumored to sign him... Spot on! Was a poor Marquee signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or to paraphrase the book "All is quiet in the western front" where no one wants to be taken to room 105 because all them are doomed so they get told they are in room 106 which is where all the doomed soldiers are waiting to expire - Heart/City is where players come to meet their end.

We've never played that way anyhow. It seemed to me that Duff spent his half season with the club crossing frozen ropes in to the box and none of his teammates were good enough or smart enough to get on the end of them. Then he gets injured and Kennedy finally makes it on to the park. I don't think it's hard to see how Kennedy would have made Duff look a lot better and vice versa. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
