[true believer]

You sure he wasn't just there... on holiday?
... a holiday...... in cambodia?

Yeah, sorry. I'll get my coat.

I have an issue with this that there all light weights

Trif is not really a lightweight.
Those 3 have a lot of potential BUT on the other side of the coin all 3 are not cast iron starting 11.

Nash signing has been confirmed by Bonnyrigg.Playing the rest of the NPL season with them before joining us.

 

[Golly]

[It's about value. He's reputed to be on a big wedge - our highest paid player. Everyone can agree that's not right. He wasn't a starter let alone our best. That costs us cap space that could be better used elsewhere./QUOTE]

i thought monty was highest paid at 300k per season

umm he ain't that big wombat . think all 3 would be lucky to get 210 kg's .
assuming everyone played a 4231 our 3 would be the smallest by , I reckon 20 kg's

 

[true believer]

ok 221 kg's .

It's not a scrum - you don't need to be big. When we had Bozanic, Amini and McGlinchey playing across there we had no issues - we won the league.

skill didn't help the Japanese at the world cup . all things in proportion

He was looking pretty sharp by the end of the season. If he's the first-picked #10 this year I won't be at all surprised. Lots of potential there.

Agree. i think he may well be the surprise package for next season.

How was size the defining factor? Chile's team was on average significantly shorter than Japan's and yet they were a cracking team. Bosnia and Herzegovina were the second tallest team and they were shit.

Fitz, Kim and Trif are all pretty strong guys. Kim is a pretty muscular guy and i think the fact he goes down too easily hides that fact. Hopefully with a full pre season we have managed to get that side of his game right. It's maybe more a question of height but i think skill, versatility and speed is what we are after. Boz and Ando will win most of the ball in the air anyway.

 

[scottmac]

Fitz & Trif are both tough in the tackle. Just like Boz & Amini.
Fitz & Trif were not 90 min's players last year. If they get that level of fitness then IMO they will be hard to remove from the first 11
With a big strong 9 in front of them (that can f**king shoot please) their frame will not be a concern

Good song. Playing the Entrance Leagues in October!

 

[midfielder]

Mossy said a couple of weeks ago to expect some signing soon... anyone got any idea when our new players will be announced... I have a gut feeling [please it bound to be wrong so don't quote me I am not saying this based on any facts, I have no facts nor know anyone who does] with the forgoing this is pure gut speculation I think we may get a couple more Asian players maybe Korean...

He hasn't finished scouting all the NPL matches yet! Then maybe the lower leagues.. then maybe Kwas will make a come back?! Then once all other avenues are exhusted.. North Korea! Best Korea!

Are you sure that your not Dennis rodman in disguise

 

[Roy Law]

Ah, the lost art of tackling (sigh), when men were men and tippy toed ballet dancing posers were nervous. You didn't get any of that stick your arse out and make no attempt to play the ball nonsense because you would end up flat on said arse on the ground with a sore ankle, or two, for good measure. Since FIFA issued a world wide ban on aggressive play the hard men have been in decline (another sigh). Monty can tackle, Bosnar too, but the rest just run around and stick out a toe or grab a shirt. Fitz and Trif are eager hard working players who will give everything they have but they can't tackle for toffee. As for Amini, I just hope his German education has shown him how because he could not tackle when he left Bluetongue.

My coarse cut marmalade for breakfast is stronger than Kim...

Nah. But it probably stays up easier.
