One of a thousand trialling according to James Gardiner
I reckon there are a swag of NPL players across the country finishing work early at the abattoir today and jumping in the ute to Newcastle on their agents advice :-)
+1 Want to see players having a real go. This season's gone. Signing players for next season when all this mess is sorted will be more important.Originally Posted by borat
I'm interested to see the new Korean fullback and what he has to bring. Hopefully not two oggies in one game, hey Byun! Mullen is a good addition to the squad. I'm happy with his signing.
It's also good for Griff, Madaschi and Celeski to be back at training even if it's away from the main group. Let's be honest - they aren't going to get picked.
Whatever happens, we need to give these new boys a cheer and get behind them. It's not their fault the circumstances around their arrival and they'll be playing for a new deal, having signed on for 4 months.

Same, so far the new signings are in the right age range I think we need. I would like to see pavicevic, Lundy and cowburn given more a go aswell.
Maybe not picked while Tinkler is in charge, but it's very, very likely they will play for us again if the FFA take over.
Could be back playing for us in a couple of games even.
As for these new boys, I'm not going to cheer them. What have a got to cheer them for?
I don't know them, they probably know nothing about Newcastle.
Forgive me for using MFKSspeak, but these are plastic players. I feel no more for them than I do about some fictional players on Football Manager.
IMO that is one of the worst things you've ever posted. I can't disagree with this view enough.
You're basically saying any player to ever get signed for your club again - if they're not from Newcastle, and you haven't heard about them before, you'll not support them.
That, sir, is the plastic fan.
OK
I feel very strongly for my fictional football manager players. one did so poorly I offered him a mutual termination every week

For mine what he is saying is that these players obviously have zero respect for what is going on at our club and are just after their next pay cheque (without superannuation). They are scum for crossing the picket line and taking the place of the sacked players.
Go jetties
From my count we have added 3 players in. To replace Steele, Gallaway, Flores - all of whom found greener pastures. These guys are not replacements for Griff, Carney, the 5 sacked.
OK
Where do we draw that line though? Which 5 do we pick are scum when 8 have signed?
Any new players are not helping the situation by signing prior to Tinkler and stubbins go
Go jetties
100% agree.
We don't draw the line, because we're not terrible humans and plastic supporters. That's the point I'm making. I understand this completely ignores my last posts intent
You can't lampoon these guys without even seeing them, their intentions with the club, and how hard they're trying to make things better. If Mullen or someone is just walking around the field and shows no interest, sure, go bananas on him. But not advanced snobbery like you and militia are talking about.
If Stubbins/Tinkler goes, we'll probably still have these extra guys on our books. And they'll probably still try their hardest to do their individual duties on the field, to play well, and help the team win.
OK
Travis Cooper is an injury replacement for Virgilli
Lee is a replacement LB for Gallaway
Mullen taking one of Flores/Steele Spot
So we still have another free spot for the Flores/Steele departure. As mentioned these are independent of the 5 released players.
We didn't replace goodwins spot did we?
What by giving the club a full squad to play their remaining games of the season? What about the remaining 13 players still happy to "cross the picket line". I am hoping for a quick resolution to all of this but its just as likely to drag on until the end of the season.

Celeski
Trust you, pv4, to turn this all into another one of your local player debates.
Honestly, the thought about them not being from Newcastle did not cross my mind when I wrote that, but kudos for once again irrationally bringing that up.
I wouldn't describe it in the same labour politics, but yes, this is what I'm getting at.
Look at the comments Mullen made when he came to the club. They were absolutely awful imo, how would the players and coaches who have just lost their livelihoods feel about this random guy rocking up and saying "Everything is good"? It was disrespectful to his fellow players who have actually stood up for something and said "We can't stand for being shit anymore, something needs to change".
Look, the club included 3 of those 5 sacked players in its advertising campaigns at the start of the season. 3 more players who took part of the advertising campaign were also released (there are actually only 2 players out of 8 involved in advertising still remaining at the club which is ridiculous).
How on earth do you expect fans to endear themselves towards these ring ins if we have a culture like this at the club?

Well said pv4.
If people aren't gonna cheer the new players, u may aswell not cheer the remaining 13 or so as borat says. And if your not gonna cheer them u may aswell not turn up.
