Matty Simon Overseas?

I dont think he will be a big loss if he goes. But i think the club need to get the right money for the transfer. As well as have a decent replacement ready.

Simon needs to make sure the club is worth going to, rather than see him return in a couple of years no better player

1) Its not an open goal if the keeper is still there
2) He's hardly the first professional footballer to do that
3) Your a douchebag

I think you just revealed quite a lot about your immense footballing brain there.

I'd stop if I were you, you are making a fool of yourself.

Oh by the way tosswit, its AN open goal not A open goal

Let's hang him from the highest tree for missing a chance.

Let's forget his 11 goals last year.

Let's forget he's played at the Olympics, played for the Socceroos, won the Mariners Medal and Golden Boot... Clarky says he's shit, Clarky must be right.

I think we are all forgetting, that none of those things would stop the crucification of Kwassie, why is Simon such a protected species that no one can voice an opinion against him without getting personal attacks back?

Of course is he had tried for a corner of the goal, it would have gone straight to one of the defenders who were pressing him from either side.

but dont let that stop you

He could have slotted it easily without hitting the defenders.. Just lacked composure...Pressure of the occasion and not scoring for a while caused him to rush the shot. His technique is not the best especially when under pressure!!

That is bull, he gave himself plenty of room to hit a shot well wide of the goals without going near a defender. It WAS shit that he hit it straight at the keeper. That should not be disputed, you should be saying, he scored 12 goals this season etc etc. But that shot WAS Shit

He has lost a little composure from his goal drought. Would like to see the minutes played without a goal. He gets more frustrated than other attackers, he does not have their composure to keep plugging away. He gets frustrated and makes the wrong choices when sometimes when looking for his personal goal. When if he was in form he would pick the right choice. He would place his shot, rather than just trying to power it in not caring if straight at the keeper.

He can do the things right, he has shown it. But he isnt doing it right currently IMO.

459 minutes without a goal in competitive matches. He scored against QLD in 81st at bluey for those interested. I dont know if he has scored in any of the friendlies we played. If he played in them.

But whereas a huy like macca does what he always does, goals or no goals. Mrdja the same. Matty does need to learn that composure.

Latest rumour on Tribal football (so take it or leave it) is Matty's being courted by Colorado Rapids in the MLS, using the owners links with Arsenal as bait:
