I miss the Pennington and Lasogga chat.

I miss KungFu Panda. We need some pro Pennington chat to balance things out.

Would be an interesting read after last night's game 


Well he played... And we won... Maybe KungFu Panda was right all along...

As i predicted earlier in the week... a rare win and it's all hail Talaaay. 

first clean sheet (albeit via 2 missed pens) in 11 games won't change my opinion in that we need a better and more composed gaffer. Also wasn't impressed by his abusive sideline behaviour towards officials and Sydney coaching staff, frankly quite shocking. Kidding ourselves thinking he fits into NZF McKinnon report.

If UFUK doesn't get the All Whites gig he will jump at the Sydney job if offered in time.

You just can't help yourself can you? Also I'm seeing mainly posts about how fortunate we were not to get beaten by a team of 13. Please quote the Talay praise that you think is overzealous. I honestly don't think your reading comprehension is that good.

was waiting for you to raise voice, even after a win you still maintain the negative posts, no commentary on how the pens cam about, or how we were down to 9 men for 20 minutes, just a "we were lucky to win" kind of statement and then oh FYI Ufuk will leave for the Sydney role when it comes up.

Stop with this bullshark. Nobody is making him immune from criticism. There has been plenty of other critique. The difference with you is you never stop fudgeing going on about it. 

You're the one that keeps making these idiotic posts, then whingeing when you get called out on the utter nonsense you post. You'll happily have your freedom to plaster your terrible opinions all over this forum, but then you complain because others are exercising their freedom to tell you that you're full of shark

 You're making it seem like you have just started watching the Nix recently. Have a look at what Uffie has done with us in the past. Although yes, we may have disagreed with some of his tactics or subs, but I think we have backed Uffie ever since he joined.

Interesting comments I saw on the press conference video on youtube....

"He told Sydney fans in the SFS members car park that it is a possiblity, he wants to join, his family lives in Sydney."

"All he said, is that it is a possibility. Please read comments correctly. Until he gets an offer from the All Whites, it seems like it’s strong mail that he would very open to go back to Sydney and be with his family mate, don’t get cut."

So what if he moves on i doubt he will break his contract to do it which unless im mistaken finishes at the end of this season. He wont be the first Manager to move on from a team after his contract expires. So im guessing you would stay in  a job even if you got a better offer. 
Laughable to try and say you have all these people messaging you anyone could say the same thing. This is a very tame forum compared to some and i have no doubt your constant negativity would get harsher comment on some of them. Come on have the balls to tell us your previous user names.

Again what's negative and what's not is down to perception. Too often a difference in opinion can be seen in a different light to the reader or of a person who is i position of different thought. Some will see expressing a thought of change to improve outcomes a positive.

I don't rate Talay and have provided stats and facts to support my opinion - received outrage over this.
I don't rate Sasse as a consistent import player and gave reasoning and solutions - again backlash over this.

Other threads on the forum I've have had no issues and had healthy discussions with other uses as you will see in most Football Forums. This Talay thread is a "fit in or f off" team.

Talay has GOD status with theprof and a few others and i have no issue with that.

Look no one ever said Ufuk was perfect and he is under pressure to perform being back on home soil with the team BUT you cannot deny his record. Best point per game average while playing the majority of his games away from home (covid). He will also be our second longest serving gaffer after another week beating out Ernie. I'm not saying we can't find a better manager but is it really that hard to understand why people like him considering he has been our best yet while dealing with ridiculously difficult circumstances.

I think it is very disingenuous of you to hold a minority opinion and constantly talk about it and not expect people to disagree with you. What did you think would happen? Did you expect everyone to just agree with you? I don't expect you to agree with me but I sure as hell can disagree with you.

Negativity can be about perception but it is also about the way you phrase things and how long you talk in a derogatory way towards them. For instance commenting on how it is raining and you don't like that is fine but the people living with you would quickly get annoyed if you spent the day complaining about it - it sounds like a broken record.

FYI I think many would agree with you about Sasse.

Jesus man!

As for point 1. Nobody except you has suggested Ufuk has immunity from criticism, most people responding to you have said the points you are making are fine, but you are being tiringly negative.

As for point 2. see response to point 1.

As for 3. If you mean a general "don't be a dick" mentality, yea.  If the vibe you mean if being overly negative when people are asking you to chill, and your response keeps being things to the effect of "I must be breaking all the rules" then it should be clear your attitude IS the problem.

"In summary, Uffie has a higher % Kiwi contingent year on year, and significantly more that Ricki’s middle years."

It is interesting that there have been many posts that respond to you that you ignore, but you jump on ones that you can attack.

I believe that TheProf was referencing you telling us about how you have these other places filled with fans that completely agree with you.  Given this thread agrees he should be criticissed but don't like your tone, then clearly the difference is your other places you post that are filled with fans like your tone.  

While I don't agree telling people to leave, I understand his point that you keep bringing up all of these places.

I suspect the fans that are DMing you to say thanks for annoying people with your negativity don't exist.  After all even if they didn't want to engage, all your posts would be getting "Thisd".

A good example of the issue is:
You pointed out all your friends and heaps of other people would come back if we had more kiwis.
Someone pointed out we do have more than your glory days and suggested you tell your friends to all come back en masse.
You didn't have a response to that.  You had heaps of responses though to people asking you to stop being so negative.

God status? - nope! not at all, I criticised some of his decisions plenty of times, but, unlike you I balance my critique with the other sifde of the ledger. You soimply choose to focus on the bad stuff, like goals conceded, and tactics you don't like. Which is fine, but as many have pointed out here those very tactic have us scoring the third most goals in the league. Interestingly enough your we concede the most goals "fact" is not even accurate, we have 3 teams worse than us.
I've said it before, if those that commented on FB were actual fans of the club then they'd attend games, if they attended games our average attendance wouldnt be 5-6k it would be 20k+ each home game. Tonnes of those FB posters are just anti football/anti-nix muppets who you sound a lot like with your constrant rehashing of the same negative point. We get it, Uffie out!

And sure he may well be entertaining other jobs, his contract ends with the Nix this season. If he gets the AW's job then he stays with the Nix for the forseeable future, if he doesn't I would expect him to look for a job in Aus.

Think he tried with the attacking subs earlier in the season. It worked once and then it went pear shaped in another. So back to the tried and tested.
It makes you nervous as af, but it has been points. In theory that’s when we should be good enough to hit them in the counter too. But with no Waine or Sotirio we’re a little lacking in the pace and fitness front and OVH is good, but not there yet.

Usually agree with you but not quite on that last bit; OvH has pace - faster than Waine and not far off Sotirio, and if all he ever gets at this stage of the season is last couple of minutes when teams are one up on us and have shut up shop, how much match experience will he gave garnered come tail end of season when injuries are mounting and points are needed.
You don’t need to sacrifice defence to bring something new to attack.

I think with Waine gone there will be far more scope for OvH to play regularly, starting from the game against Brisbane as Kraev won't be there.

Seems likely if Uffy follows the same template.
OVH to take Waines minutes ie 20-30 mins per game
Karunaratne seems more likely than Bidois (only due to him being on the bench lately) to take OVH's minutes ie 5-10 mins every 2nd game

I may have to eat my words about Talay stuffing up the recruitment. Could it have been that filling up on forwards and leaving a hole in defence was because he foresaw selling Waineo at some point? If so, and we get a solid CB this window, I will self-criticise in full Maoist fashion.
