Marco Rojas - The retirement of the Kiwi Messi

I just did and he said it would be far better than getting splinters

one can only dream i guess... dreams are free hold on to them

Diving. Horrendous finishing. Sulking. Injury.  Endless list.

and sorry didnt mean to post those stats that many times

Thanks for those stats Roddy.

its a forum post not a english assignment, im well sure you knew what i meant

put that well in just for you clever cookie, but c+ is better than a fail  yusssssssss!

I like to give people encouragement rather than criticism (unless they turn their back on the club).

topright/Roddy I was merely posting as banter to those (looking at you El Grap and Smiff) who said Rojas was a shoe-in for starting. You have taken this is a new level however.

Soft Bastard....D-    I came from a time when failure at school was actually permitted!

I'm old school too, but I don't actually like labelling people as failures (all very PC I know) - especially if, under adequate guidance/mentoring, they can be motivated to improve themselves.

feel free to use the "edit" post option

Hellz yeah I can

Rojas was not even on the bench for Victories last game. I have found nothing to suggest he is injured.....but his form has been scratchy for a while.

Looks like Durakovic is gone from MV...

Marco to take the reigns?

Oh dear, I was hoping Durakovic would stay so MV don't even make the playoffspatrick4782012-01-06 11:41:20

Adelaide's change in fortunes since the manager change certainly won't have helped Durakovic.

Be interesting to see what a new manager makes of their roster. Lot of imports not getting much game time, only Hernandez really 1st tier and it is also quite heavy on the number of attacking players. Might be worth asking Marco how he likes it over there, I'd have him back here in a flash. rjmiller2012-01-06 12:29:37

Interview with Marco from a Melbourne rag the week before Xmas:

Please come back Marco. We promise we will give you game time. Have Leo's spot.

(psst. Leo isn't CAM)

psst neither is Rojas, both best sutied to playing on the wing.

He won't come back until he can play CAM and train in world class facilities (probably means that he can hide in a bigger toilet from TVNZ reporters). And we get a better Smiggle shop.

Among it�s many problems, at least as far as the Victory are concerned, is that it asks far too much, from a defensive perspective, of the wide men, Harry Kewell on the left and Marco Rojas on the right on Saturday, especially with the defence sitting so deep.

Starting these two in the same line, or just a touch advanced of Grant Brebner and Leigh Broxham, means that they are playing far too deep and shouldering too much defensive responsibility.

In the past two games it has meant that Kewell, in particular, has been too isolated from the front two, Archie Thompson and Jean Carlos Solorzano.

This contrasts to the three or four games before Launceston when he seemed to be used higher, in a 4-2-3-1, and had more of an influence in the front third.

What has also been evident in the past two games is that Kewell doesn�t appear to have been given license to roam across the forward line, where he can link with the likes of Thompson and Solorzano. He has essentially been working in the left corridor, up and down.

With his extra defensive burden in the flat four, it was perhaps no surprise the find Kewell replaced an hour into the derby.

On the other side, with Rojas sitting too deep, it was the Heart who took the initiative, with Craig Goodwin having a splendid debut.

Young winger Marco Rojas, who has been a more regular fixture in the starting line up in recent weeks, was singing the new coach's praises yesterday, particularly his humorous criticism.

''They [Magilton and Durakovic] have different views on football. He's [Magilton] given us that confidence, that's all you need in football. He's helped out a lot of players and that's why it's getting better for us,'' Rojas said.

How long before this thread gets renamed "Rockarse"?

Hi I'm Marco Rokas

Maybe the real reason he left the Nix was because everyone was mispronouncing his name

I see in that interview on the main page that he still hasn't ruled out playing for Chile. Aiming for some sort of mega-judas status perhaps?

Very interesting to learn that "the A-League has more attributes" than Spanish football. What does that even mean?!?

Yeah I wondered that too. Like surely if he was committed to NZ he'd be like I am eligible but I've declared my future with NZ. Not I'm not sure of the rules, but I think I could go and play for them.

been wondering of late if the "better facilites" in Melbourne have made up for the fact that Rockarse won't be playing in the finals this season?

Roja's release provides a chance to live out Olympic dream
