He did trip over the ball right in front of Bay 1 though :roflz:
Both very classy

This!
Go back and watch Castro's first 2 months with Glory. He was hopeless, I remember thinking he was a dud signing. He well and truly proved me wrong. When he is on, no team will stop him in the A-League. Vargas looks like he will dominate, maybe not quite at Castro's level but I'd love to be wrong again (I often am!)

get well soon. please!

The guy has shown class in his very short time here, and yeah his injury was pretty bad, but does anyone else find the outpouring of emotion a little cringey? Usually a minute's applause is reserved for someone who's died, or who tragically can't play the game anymore due to a career-ending injury.

The bloke is class and on a one year contract, from memory he was looking to use the A-League and Marty as a step to China.
If myself/us can make him feel loved and welcome to convince him to stay around for a lot longer and us giving him some support by clapping in unison for one minute could help keep him here, then my oath I'm going to clap.

Say he wasn't fit to come back this season, or he did come back but due to fitness wasn't starting. Would we offer him another marquee contract or try get him on wages in the cap?

If he gets the all clear from medical and physio side of things I'd be super happy for him to play again as marquee. Blokes a gun. Who you planning to sign as marquee that is gonna push Ronny out from that spot?

Pretty sure he was but money was an issue so we went to our number 2 whose wife got sick then Ronny became an option again

Slightly unrelated but.....

So did anyone else notice on the foxtel coverage the "expert" medical staff (to use the term loosely) were about to roll Ronnie onto his broken ankle to put him on the stretcher, Matt McKay starts yelling at them and they lift up the stretcher, hand it over to the other side and roll him onto his right side before rolling him back onto the stretcher?

I've seen so many stories saying what a great job they did.. but really?? Is Matt McKay better qualified than the Brisbane Roar medical staff?

Can't say I was watching at that stage

The injury had made me want to look away and wait for play to resume etc

Don't they have an ambo on site??

They did on Sunday at the Southern End there waiting
I would have thought for large scale events with crowds of 10k etc like HAL games it be mandated that ambo on site so many first aid staff etc

Also don't they have a heap of StJohn ambulance volunteers at Jets games ??


Where exactly are these people in Brisvegas??

Moon boot is now off and he can start putting load on his leg

Bert claiming late Feb early March he back on the park

Hope he stays on track

great. Just in time to finish 7th. Thanks weak ankles 2.0.
