Gillesphey has his moments agreed. But I’m less harsh on him maybe because the back three exposes all defenders .... but he has a killer left boot, can tackle and his series stats are up there with the best. 

The only thong with Aldred for me is he doesn’t look like a captain. 




Though the idea of Aldred playing in a thong is novel. He might move a bit faster.

That comment makes no sense. Don’t bother trolling my comments any more - it’s getting fucking tiresome dick head. 

Hey Waz, some of these idiots have nothing better to do than go around putting shit on people, fact is they have no idea really, they just get some childish pleasure out if it with nothing constructive ever to say. 
If they had a brain they are welcome to  disagree with something intelligent to say but they just want to put shit on people. 
Ive stopped engaging with a couple of them cause that's what gives them a cheap thrill. 
They should get a life!!!

true football fans value what most have they say, whether we agree or not, doesn't matter.

and as Timmy Cahill said football is all about opinions.

Same here Waz - you know when you have just had enough of trolls and glory hounds - skim their posts and then ignore them if they are lacking substance. The same as they no doubt ignore ours if they want to...

Last time I looked this was a public forum? Posters can and do have different points of view , just because you run the RSF and are connected don’t mean we have to bow down to you.
Bully boy tactics worked well in the Den , not.

Thanks guys. It’s not the difference in opinion that’s the problem, we’ve always had that on this forum anyway - it’s the persistent trolling and taking comments out of context. I need to find out how to block a few posters.

Could be a good move for O’Toole and Mariners tbh, Roar are overloaded at left back now so he’s not likely to get much game time

Oar like Troisi will most likely look for an overseas move as well so extra cover down the left won’t  hurt Mariners either.

Newc 1-1 Roar for the wooden spoon fight.

And another boring and skill-less performance from the Roar coming right up, again.

It was more entertaining watching a John Aloisi team play any time.

Good work club management.

If you asked me (as if you would) I would say that Robbie has learned a lot more tonight about what works and what doesn't.

His starting team had a couple of changes - and the team that finished a couple more.

Inman has skill and creates opportunities. Muratovic is a positive. Bowles is a liability. Young is a fantastic shot stopper. Neville and Hingert both add something positive. Pepper's enthusiasm and workrate does not equate to efficiency. Holloway is a stranded whale up front but coming from halfway can be effective. Gillesphey is so hot and cold - but I do not rate his positives above his negatives. O'Neil adds to the team and ROD also does from the bench. Powell is a good prospect and brings a return for his involvement. O'Shea is also a positive.

May have missed some but don't care.

If Robbie can build on the good bits we saw tonight that goes some way to continuing the development of this team. I felt better about our prospects as a team as the game went on and regardless of the result I finished the game thinking Robbie can bring this home now.

Whether he does or not is his challenge.

Our club is coaching kindy for Robbie Fowler. Well that just makes it all so much better!

No, actually. He's not a man child coach. He's just fucking clueless.

Contrast as in a comparison of completely different circumstances?

Why would that be relevant?

Why not, for relevance, compare Robbie to the well credentialled Merrick instead?

So do we go all out and try and bring in a striker if ROD is becoming an Aussie citizen? Or do we put more trust in dwh and muratovic? Either way we need to strengthen our squad.

In your limited opinion. Thanks for the courtesy of setting me straight.

Nix had an established squad already playing some good football. Robbie is a new coach (only common point) with basically a new team. Chalk and cheese.

Robbie might have had the Nix playing good football too - so irrelevant to compare them.

Does that confuse you?

No they didn't. 

They signed even more players than Roar did and Roar did their recruiting earlier than Wellington did.

The different is the Roar play completely terrible football, playing long balls behind the channels to the strikers is a smart strategy? 

Fowler is naive and out of place so far with his coaching.

Very few touches, a couple of them were good. Not involved enough. Understandable for a teenager in his first game, but will need to improve to maintain a place in the match day squad.

I think comparisons between Roar and Nix are really valid right now. 

Both went with unproven coaches. 

Nix went with a proven assistant from SFC while Roar went with unproven Fowler from LFC’s Academy (It has to be said, Rangers went with Gerard who was on the same course as Fowler and had similar experience, so it can work) 

roar signed 16 new players, Nix 15 

The value of Roars signings was €3.23m and Nix €5.13m (The difference is pretty much accounted for with Roar signing 4 players from their Academy). 

Nix signed 7 players from low leagues including League One, Serie C, Indian Premier League, and NZ Premiership. 

Roar signed 6 players from low leagues including league One and Two in England. 

So what’s the difference? 

Nix signed more players from lower leagues than Roar did, and yet they’re flying - so it’s not the level the players were signed from!  

So what is it??
