Nuh-uh, I've totally cancelled Smeltzy for his work for Australia's wannabe Trump.
Marinovic or Sail
Nuh-uh, I've totally cancelled Smeltzy for his work for Australia's wannabe Trump.
Does that mean you never appreciated the good work he did for us in the past? Ya know, prior Clive Palmer involvement? 🤔
Seriously, no-one is really against "cancel culture" - they only differ over who should be cancelled.
I don't hate many things, but i HATE cancel culture.
I wrote out a large reply but the Phoenix Goalkeeper thread isn't the place :)
For me I don't care, it's just good we've got two keepers that we're confident in and can push each other. I was always terrified when Italiano was in goal in the past.
I read the Tweet, as he thought the 14 day MIQ system was unnecessary (rather NZ should go with an open system like Sweden were doing at the time). Then he's trying to say a 14 day MIQ system would virtually be in breach of some UN charter, where 15 days solitary confinement is considered torture.
Really misguided comments especially with hindsight, but no statement about any conspiracy theory.
Anywhoo, back to it, Sail for 3 clean sheets in a row anyone? Since it feels like it's been a while since we accomplished that feat...
But is nothing in comments copied into this thread attributed to Marinovic that say conspiracy theorist, or anti vaxxer. Some dodgy views on how to control the virus though for sure.
Actually upon entering bathroom of Buenos Aires Airport 2017 (layover enroute to Peru), I accidentally stood on one of Marinovic's sizeable feet as he was drying his hands. In my defence I was pretty tired from exiting cattle class after the 14 hour Auckland flight. He accepted my mumbled apology, and I can report he had washed his large mitts.
Same Akld-BA flight where Brocks/Rory made some of the younger AWs (Dane Ingham for sure?) sing a song to all in economy class. And a sheepish Monty Patterson had to go back into the plane, after leaving maybe his passport back in the big jet.
But yeah I plump for Sail's current exuberant, uplifting nature.
Also people who use "infer" when they should be using "imply".
And people who can't spell "definitely"!
This is the thread where we all have a whinge eh?
While on @wufcofficial coach Mark Rudan has made enquiries about potential signing for next season in @CCMariners shot stopper Mark Birighitti or @WgtnPhoenixFC’s Oliver Sail. Puzzling considering Kurto is one of their best. @FOXFOOTBALL @MickLynch_Age

If Sails promised the first choice spot and loses his place to Marinovic this season could see him moving

Also would be surprised to see Talay let that happen as it looks like going forward Sail would be number one, and that Marinovic will probably head back to Germany where his partner lives. I’m obviously not privy to any decision making but would seem weird for either party to do that.

Is Kurto on the move? If not I don't see why Sail would go to be backup keeper somewhere else...Surely if he locks down the #1 spot he stays with us.
Wish Rudan and his snake army would just piss off too.

but having NZs best two keepers form-wise on our books has always been an issue. The Kingz, Knights and Nix always had NZ's best keepers along with class like Kurto, Theo, Reddy, Vukovic, etc: Utting (another nutter!), Nicholson, Eddy, Moss, Paston, Bannatyne, Sail, Marinovic etc.
Thinking about it, NZ pro teams have made careers for a number of class keepers across the ditch.

Theo played for the Nix?
Edit - see he played for The Kingz! Well done. Had no idea

Pre-season starts on Mon 26 July; what do you expect training to be like over the next few weeks?
Yeah obviously it’s frustrating to have things delayed by Covid and not going to plan right from the get-go, but that’s the world we’re living in at the moment and you’ve just got to roll with the punches.
What’s the mindset for next season?
If we can carry forward the momentum from that unbeaten run forward, I reckon we’ll be a force. I remember speaking to several players from around the A-League that were in the playoffs, boys from Macarthur, Melbourne City and Sydney – and they were all genuinely worried that we were going to make the playoffs, they really were! It’s easy to say and sometimes that kinda thing gets thrown out there like “oh you wouldn’t want to come up against us in the playoffs!” but I think this was a genuine thing.
Was unsure if he had a contract beyond this season. Have just checked - he does! So a little bit of money possibly back for the Phoenix coffees too. Win/Win.
If anyone could post the actual article that would be great too. 👌

Article says nothing really, it’s the same quotes Sail gave to the media that are in Stuff, and all it says about the interest is “the Herald understands at least two European clubs are interested”, nothing more specific than that

Yeah, in hindsight I should've read the Stuff article first 😅
Will be interesting to see how this unfolds though. His form has been outstanding this season, so only natural that he's piqued the interest of a few clubs.
Sail is understood to have attracted some interest from a club in Europe on the back of his stellar season, where he was thrust into a captaincy role when Alex Rufer suffered a long-term injury.
