    Rather bizarre to see such a Luke warm reaction from a side desperate for a win to kick start their season.

    You would have thought the whole team would have been mobbing the goal scorers in relief
    The team harmony and spirit/belief within any team is evident when they score a goal, if you like, it is all in the player's "body language".
    You can't fake a goal celebration, if the passion and belief is not within the playing group....it's simply not there and it usually filters from the coach down.

    It was bizarre

    You see more celebrating from a team down 5-0 pulling it back to 5-1 in the 85th minute.

    I could partly understand it at 4-0 and 5-0 as the job is done and it just icing on the cake

    But the first goal right on the stroke of HT you would think would have inspired them. You would have thought the 2nd and 3rd were big reliefs to them as they were putting some nails in the opposition coffin

    But still muted celebrating

    perfect way for Mckinna to start to win over the fans. Griff to coach the yoof as a striker coach or even the senior squad or even a scout for Chinese players seeing as he's played there a fair bit

    If we going to get a scout in China how about we get one based there with much knowledge of the country and football.

    Not a bloke who is running a home loan business at the Junction and has been to China whilst curing the planet of disease


    Seeing as our owner lives in China shouldn't be too hard to arrange the gig for a local in China

    i agree just though Joel would have some insight on the players he played against and which ones are worth looking at

    Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes. I know the Griff supporters don't need me saying this, but I don't think the average supporter realises how huge Griff was/is in China.
    When the new ownership was announced the other week, apparently the Chinese media there and officials were all over Griff (get your minds out of the gutter lads). Whether it is the coaching side of things or admin we know that Griff will give 100% to this club.

    If he has a role it has to be a bit of a tokenistic position to win over/get./keep fans happy. . He has no place in the administrative side of things and (unless I'm wrong) has no coaching qualifications/experience.

    I'm quite happy for the Griff to come back in almost any capacity but i think it would be pretty silly to have him as a scout in Asia. That's kind of undervaluing the knowledge a decent scout has. One day he could become one as he seems like a pretty smart man and knows his football but surely Mr Lee has contacts in China already with more knowledge than out entire scouting team, i.e. Gary who sits on YouTube all day and plays Football Manager. Griff scouting the NPL makes more sense.

    He has to be somewhere in the front office attracting sponsors/sleeping with their wives and speaking to the media/and probably sleeping with their wives. Get him doing gameday commentary and stream it onto little headphones like you get at the cricket. Even get that DBag Bridges to lend his accented shit-talk. Mostly so we don't have to look at him or his busted legs again.

    I mean it's clear that Mr Lee has developed the technology to make an A.I. Griff as the real one would have nowt to do with these gypo turds. Pretty sure they have killed the real Griff and will release the snuff tape right before the derby.

    Parksey said it best, ISIS has won.

    Could be onto something here Plague - a "Griff is Dead" conspiracy would be great PR.

    What clues are out there? What is the name of the guy they have turned into the Griff we see in public?

    Macca drugged Griff as a front to appease fans. Dirty trick, not dropping full guard just yet
