Any more news about Baird? I've only seen a handful of posts on here, nothing from the club, no mention of him on matchday.
Is he really gone or going? Will we eventually be told officially?

Fall out with arnie

Fall out with arnie

That would be the 'official' version?

 

[Atomic]

What's the "unofficial" version?

 

[Wombat]

who cares....not much of a player for mine.

One can hope that after qualification for the second round of the WC has been wrapped up that Josh Rose gets a run at LB. What I saw last night from Zullo was crap. Josh should be given his chance now. Screw Carney.

Not a fall out, he's just gash.

 

[Roy Law]

He's gone. He's not in the squad for this weekend; not listed as injured, not listed as omitted and not listed as unavailable...All the other players in our squad are named.

Wikipedia to the rescue!!

On 16 November 2011, Baird joined the Malaysian club, Sabah FA as one of the two foreign players allowed in the 2012 Malaysia Super League. Baird, alongside his fellow countrymen, Brendan Gan signed a two year contract Sabah.

According to the SMH this will free up significant funds - you would hope not as we should never have paid significant money for him! On the other hand any money helps

Good.
At best, he lacked nouse.

Buy a creative - enrique/solorzano style import please or bring Duke into the squad. I like blooding youth.

I have feared this whole Baird incident has been why Rosey was not at his best. Just a theory.
But this sort of thing can significant;y effect other players.

Completely agree re Rose for Zullo. Holger may be thinking long term. But we need to get through some more even tougher qualifiers yet, and Rose looks a much better LB defensively than either Zullo or Carney.

Wow must have been some fallout for him to be punted. I liked the look of him initially but wondered whether he would fit into the Mariners ethos. Hopefully it continues the no di$kheads policy for the club. I wonder if we got a transfer fee?

Maybe his inability as a "professional athlete" was his downfall.

I think it was his inability as a profesional footballer and inability as a striker that cost him. As FCC said...panic buy by the club....ordinary player....let's move on.

can we sign Dutchie forever?

 

[MagpieMariner]

can we sign Dutchie forever?

After he decides his full-time playing days are over, maybe the FFA will let us bring him on and off as a specialist kicker, like the Yanks do in their "football".
Well, I can dream can't I?

 

[BrisRecky]

in recent weeks, i think some of us would have seen Kwasi up on the roof at the club in his suit not doing a whole fkn lot, and this game just past , ccm v the jets , Kwas and Porter were up there and Brad wasn't even in a suit....does this mean they are outward bound ??

I gave the tip re BP a long time ago...

 

[Roy Law]

I think I read somewhere that Patrick wants to stay for another year?
