How good is Gumpy?

People are allowed an opinion.............the fact that no other HAL club came in for Gumps when coming off contract (except Gold Coast reportedly but fell thru) perhaps says something about what the professional coaches think.
Gumps is great for the Coast because no other other player gets a reaction from the crowd which lifts us and the players, the only other who would come close is Matty Simon.
Gumps had a FANTASTIC first season, because of this the crowd fell in love with him and the love affair will always remain, plus he is the nicest guy you could meet (very unusual for a German
) Season 2 he picked up that injury at Melbourne and never looked the same, in the the off season he was training hard, playing well and was rewarded with another contract, sadly picked up that injury. He's now coming back and training just as hard, credit to him and I hope he does the business for us.

Deej,
Fair comments.
I get frustrated sometimes on this forum because some people cant see that Gumps is a quality player. Sure he getting on a bit and is not perfect but his IS quality and that is something we lack a bit of at times.
I also get frustrated because some of the same people used to tell me that Trotty, Kwassie and MacMaster were good players and deserved a starting spot. It's hard to take some people on here seriously. Loyal and vocal supporters in the Marinators..yes.but.knowledgable some off you aint.

Europe hates us for many reasons. Chief among them being that we are simply better than any of them and have been for a 1,000 years. They know it and they hate it.

Gumps nearly scored again on the weekend, think that with more starts/game time his touch and match fitness will only improve,(remembering he's coming back from a nasty knee injury).
His experience and abillity to read the game, moving the ball into the open areas or making the runs into this space himself, I believe will be critical to us making the final 4. Thinking back to how he was brought on toooooooo late in the GF (also Tommy) really cost us the Championship. Good to see Lawrie back up from last week and give Gump's a full 90min.

Gumps at RM also provides great cover for Porter at RB. Whilst not his natural position, I thought he had one of his best defensive games for us on Saturday.
I notice that Gumps dropped to cover Porter when he went forward a few times and that kind of experience (let Porter do his running) is great for us.

( if people don't know what i'm talking about, bear stated a little while back that if gumpy played the full 90 and the mariners won the game he would eat a shirt )

no, it was a bit more specific than that.
Gumps had to start a regular season comp game and score a goal for bear to eat his shirt.
So far, gumps has started and scored, but in preseason, and he has started but not scored in a regular season comp game. The time could be coming though!

Actually... http://marinators.net/forum/index.php?topic=1914.0 on the first page:
First it has to be an A-league match, now he has to score as well? All he said was he has to start and finish a match in which we win in - nothing about scoring. Just eat that shirt already.

I think Mitch needs a knife and fork....perhaps some salt? Tomato Sauce?
