best quote ever. bar none.
and welcome back VJ. i take it the paddle steamer is back in town.
GVE is using the wrong pencils.
I'd always pictured GVE as a crayon type of bloke.
Who'd have known ?
It's GVE, I fully expect him to be using crayons... maybe even finger painting.
GVE = mr squiggle
Okon = macgyver
I hope you all haven't scared Couscous off. This debate was certainly livening up a dull off season.
Then give him a job Ange and let us move on.
Couscous you can't have it both ways.
You can't praise the coach for good performances/results and then in the next breathe say it's not his fault at all for the rubbish performances/results.
Why is 2011/12 allowed to be a right off? In 2006/07 GVE took over after 7 matches and took them to the Prelim Final. 2011/12 he took over after 3 matches, failed to do any better than Branko.
Quite simply, a lot of people didn't believe GVE was any good the first time around despite some good results. 2006/07 99% will admit he did a very good job, 2007/08 despite winning it he made some odd signings, team selections were strange and people started to ask questions. Then in 08/09 his man-management was terrible and it's all been downhill from there.
He's come back preaching this and that and has failed to deliver. Team performances on the whole are poor and do not reflect what he preaches and his man-managment and ability to sign players and in particular visa players is horrendous.
GVE did not unearth, Goodwin, Chapman, Brillante etc. They were already known young prospects. Anybody can offer a youngster first team opportunities and then play them willy nilly.
GVE is blinded by his own ego. It's ok to believe in yourself, but when your ego makes you make decisions purely to prove that your the boss then you have a problem.
A good majority of the players hate him and performances this season will not improve. Another 7th or 8th for the Jets.
I agree everyone is entitled to their opinion, however I struggle to comprehend why a Victory fan would care what a group of Jets fans sitting behind a keyboard think about their coach? Our concerns about our management team have nil impact on your team.
You don't hear what a lot of us in local football circles hear
Try walk a mile in our shoes over the last few years and maybe you'll understand our frustration.
Okon hasn't singlehandedly ruined a towns football team for a couple of years, and pushed away hundreds-thousands of members yet. So he's still got a while before he gets his own thread.
By the way was it GvE's guidance that led to the Young Socceroos being beaten by minnows El Salvador?
So Plague if I start a GVE in Thread the weight of public opinion will turn and GVE will be lauded as some sort of misunderstood prophet who ACTUALLY knows what he is doing and will be proved right by leading us up the table as we thump teams and play with style and pomp rivaling Barca??
**** it is that easy!!!:violin:
After watching the Jets Yoof this arvo MINUS KALE I was able to take it all in without the KB Fapfest goggles on
THE **** NEEDS TO GO.
5 million passes back and forth the field trying to open up space and when they got a bit of room they refused to play a pass that would trouble the opponent as it was more important to retain possession than risk losing the ball in the attacking 3rd. KIds barely had a shot at goal.
If the ****s actually ran off the ball or you could see some form of a concept being developed you could persevere. All I see is some ideological misunderstanding of some KNVB course the **** has taken when the idea of football is to ACTUALLY score ****ing goals
**** THIS **** OFF
Pretty much this.
The goalkeeper had the ball at his feet much more than any of the forwards did. Even when the Jets Youth got a free kick in the opposition half the ball was played back to the bloke between the sticks. Swancott could have set up a hammock and went for a snooze and I still doubt the Youth would have trouble the scorers.
The only interesting part of the game for me was that I was sitting directly behind Disco Stu and Goodwin. The U/23 coach (who I think is James Pascoe) said to Stu "Still persisting with that ****ing shit system" to which Stu replied with a disgruntled "Yeah".
Was also interesting hearing Stu talk about Arnie's pre-season methods with the gypos, definitely no dragging tyres up sand hills. Two "football sessions" a week (all ball work), couple of beach mornings and a few rounds of golf. Arnie's way of thinking is that he didn't want them to peak too early, and that it would be about round 6-8 when they started hitting form. The fact that we beat them in round 2 and finished 8th while they won the ****ing GF shows he's probably right!
Goose did not die after all.
Tim's back
After tonights shit this thread needs some more impetus.
Picking Joey Gibbs over Kale
YOU ****ING GOOSE:banghead:
