Town Army Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 What's the obsession with an overseas signing? Honestly couldn't care less if they come from Sydney or Salterbeck, Melbourne or Moss Bay (Prefer Moss Bay if I'm being honest) if they do the job then they'll do for me. Surely we've been stung enough times in the past to put us off going down that route again? Fitzsimmons or Fifita? Henson or Horton? I know which I prefer.

UTT The supporters will only be told what both the club and the coach want the supporters to know, and its been like that for years, do people actually think that out of all the rumours that circulate a few of them do not have any substance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had been underperfoming at work and then sacked your boss or company would or should not post this all over social media the club will be tied to what they can officially inform the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think we need to be officially informed on anything. I like Pez, but theres competition for places and if he isnt pulling up trees in training, he wont be picked. Its up to him how he reacts to that decision. One thing is clear, is that Chris is honest, fair and a quality coach. If he thinks letting pez go out on loan for game time, or selecting others on match day benefits the team. I trust his judgement 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are saying that the people who are paying their employees wages should not have a reasonable explanation why so many employees are ether leaving or not working when available, yes every one cant play at once, but when long spells go by and not a sign of them ? then you also have the other side of the coin, or is it actually their fault or is it the managements fault (coach / management) always two sides to a story. Its always hard to get a happy medium but this has been a ongoing problem at the club for a couple of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havenhater Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 He isn't our player anymore or at least for a month so let's talk about riley and hoping he can put a shift in. Everything we have been asking for he has. Exciting times 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a fan of Pez since he came to the club, I even helped sponsor him a couple of years ago, I think he's a quality player who hit a run of poor form. I hope he gets his appetite back for the game whether he comes back to us or not. Good luck Pez, & welcome to Town Glenn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought he was a terrific defender and an attacking runner ...at centre and could never understand why he was used as a battering ram. On a happier note, i see Sammut is playing for Malta on Saturday night so won't be in the Barrow area on Sunday afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember who it was against but he had an unusually bad game a few weeks ago and that was that. The Sellafield crack ( because there are no secrets in the Millom area) was that he and Chris had words following that game and Pez reacted badly to it. Like I say it's all hearsay but probably some truth in it. Hope the lad gets the fire back in his belly and they patch up their differences as there's a good player in there. Looking forward to seeing Glenn in a Town shirt, if Chris can get him to the level he should be playing at then we have got a good player in a position we desperately need. 1 The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!
