Yeah sounds like that Gol Gol Mehbratu from Gold Coast United apparently was dumped from quite a few clubs including state teams and apparently got his fijian and png mates to go and see the coach with his brother to see if they could get rid of a striker so they could put him in the first team. After coach denied him of the spot he went and spun a tale and got an a league spot.Doesnt add up does it.

No, it doesn't. In fact, it sounds like a discarded Underbelly script.

Straight from the coaches mouth and if you look at the list of clubs he played at, it doesnt list the ones he was dumped from.And QAS..........well no one ever saw him at the academy.....interesting how these facts???? get somehow added to wiki.....creative penmanship...Gee its like these guys that trial at these clubs overseas and have had a set up arrangement,how do they end up back at their original club on loan??? its like
1 + 1 = 22

Bucko, nobody would know you from a bar of soap. You've posted nothing but unsourced horseshit in one thread designed to bag the crap of some kid who barely any of us have seen in the flesh.

Two questions:

1. What did he do, root your girlfriend? Why the hostility campaign?

2. What do you think it's going to achieve? Do we pick players? Do we control the youth lists? Do you think all you need to do is post enough random shit that he'll no longer be in line for a contract?

Give it up already.

Bucko, shit how old are you?

One can you see the league is falling apart.
Do you have balls or are you the kids father?
Seriously have the balls to speak up as we still have freedom of speech or do you believe that the kids that are being chosen because of contacts are adding value or money to the league.You can talk them up as much as you want BUT you can see if they cant compete at an a league level or lower, seriously who is going to believe even if you set them up at a club that they will become a professional player.Then they become a dead weight around the neck of the league when they come back and they do come back.Mate we have all seen better players that dont get a run because of these players and at this stage we are finished if we continue this practice because they are not a sellable product,they do not bring money into the league they drain it like a leech!You could easily name twenty players in the a league that have the same surname and are basically crap players.You can't believe even with training them every day that they will be professional.You'll just look stupid talking them up.

I must say Mario you are smoking some good shit!! Where can we all get some?

I don't usually reply to many people that post but you are carrying on with absolute dribble.........

Can you mention 20 names in the a-league that have the same surname like you posted? i can only think of Tim Brown and James Brown!

You're very narrow minded and obviously haven't grasped the whole concept of player development, you haven't even managed to develop a constructive argument! I am thinking you are a bitter Sydney supporter whose promotion of youth is abysmal but you dribble that much you must be a scummer.

Grab some putty and fill that massive chip on your shoulder and get a grip. Moaning doesn't suit anyone.

I dub thee a troll, a pointless, petty troll.

Great assist by Jordan yesterday - :innocent:

The ball went to Jordan Farina who put a perfect pass to Duke and his clinical finish from twelve metres, with literally the last kick of the game, put the game out of Brisbane's reach.

You can throw out all the supposed inside info you like, simple fact is if the kid is good enough he'll get a gig, if he's not he won't.

Quit spinning shit on here, you just look like a bitter prick with an agenda against the kid. I know nothing about him at all, and don't much care - the managers will look after it, and given we're top of both leagues I'll put my trust in their judgement.

Jog along sunshine.

Not football but I've got a few more examples - Hussey, Marsh, Waugh... all selected because of their name.

Weird how people who were high achieving former professionals tend to have talented kids.
It's almost seems like DNA and their development influence has something to do with it.

To be fair, when you have two kids of similar ability, you can go either way, and there's always something that makes a coach pick one kid over another. That may be connections or a name. But that is the story of the world and all things in life.

But ultimately, like everyone has said, you still have to have talent or you have no chance. Though yes again, sometimes players ride too far on former glory or the promise of perhaps. But again, if you are selecting platers/athletes, prior record HAS to be a key factor in your decision making.

Mario sounds like a Dad whose kid isn't good enough to make the grade so he's finding little reasons/excuses why.

Ohhh, little Johhny is good enough to make the league but the selectors went with a "name" player instead of a skilled one....

Oh ok is that all you've got.So if I'm wrong your selling all these talents overseas and wow there talent surpasses them.
How many players in this league get major sponsorship or something like a contract for commercials sent to England and Asia.Promoting the league and drawing revenue back to the clubs to prop the league. Seriously grow a brain and try and figure it out instead of covering up.I think Harry K is the only one.
