Worst of all, if City don't already know it has compromised Nooney's position with the club. When Matt Millar signed for Newcastle, Central Coast famously threw him out of training and told him to go home. Does Noone now play for us against Macarthur, or does he not? If he plays and misses a sitter what's the reaction going to be? And if City didn't know before, we certainly do now. https://www.ftbl.com.au/news/macarthur-land-massive-coup-signing-city-a-league-star-565901 I can't see how he can play for us now. Unless we already know, and trust him to act as a true professional and give his heart and soul in pursuit of a place in the GF.

I won’t be surprised if he won’t feature again with more “soreness”, perhaps he wasn’t that sore before anyway and we knew that he signed. Perth has done the same with Kilkenny whilst they were still in the finals contention. 40 minutes ago, CityBoyz said: Think they knew they re-signed Nabbout and signed Leckie.

Given that Macarthur have signed him for two years, the other alternative is that we only offered a 1 year contract. He is at that awkward age that if he signed a year contract he is unlikely to get another contract after that (whether with us or another team) so I can see him declining a 1 year contract with us even if he wanted to stay.

The timing is so unprofessional and whether it was Garb or Macarthur themselves who leaked the headline, it should not have been allowed to leak. I'd back Noone 100% to be a pro and make himself available for selection come matchday on Sunday but yeah, it really boils down to whether our club knew about it in advance or not. Fucking annoying either way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) I’m going to hate seeing Craig leave. Ultimately though, if you had a choice you’d take Leckie ahead of him everyday of the week. It seemed a bit more palatable though when I thought he was heading to League 1 or similar Edited June 14, 2021 by Shahanga 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 So too injured to make an small cameo or kept on the bench as he’s leaving and we give preference to players who are with us next year? I can’t help to think that he hasn’t played since the departure news leaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 I was disappointed he didn’t come on as at least a time wasting sub at the end. If nothing else his world class skill at winning a second or third corner by kicking the ball into defenders legs might have been handy. Anyway, ultimately he was only with us 2 seasons and perhaps hadn’t earned the gesture in the coach’s eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 He had a fantastic season. Ultimately the club has made a decision based on his birth certificate.

On one hand that seems a little harsh, but professional sport can be brutal. We don't know really why he has left us, but you're probably right. At 33 you're offered(say) a one-year contract extension, and someone else is offering 2 years - it's an easy choice really. The players have to be hard-hearted as well as the clubs.

mattyh001 Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 thought he was very inconsistent, but also think he will be remembered fondly. he had the ability to make something out of nothing. the games this season where he, JMac and Nabbout combined was awesome to watch. that said, the signing of Leckie while retaining JMac and Nabbout meant Noone was always on the way out. seems a waste of a visa spot, particularly with Tilio and Colakovski waiting in the wings (pun intended). as an aside, i wonder how long it will take for the boo boys to come out? don't think this was of Noone's making, but that hasn't stopped the boo boys in the past 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head, there is only one ex player who is deserving of being booed and that is Mauk. I really don't get booing a player such as Wales who was not offered a contract by the club and found work elsewhere. Even if he went to Victory in those same circumstances I do not think it would be worthy of booing (imo it would be acceptible to boo if a player forced a move to Victory or was in discussions for a contract renewel with us and signed with Victory instead). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
