Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 13 2018

[stevie]

f****** s*** decision not to pay holding the ball. f****** cockhead ump signalling he made an attempt. Me and all the Sts fans screamed in fury!!!!

Good to see your focussing on the important stuff.

We were on a roll at the time and a goal would’ve helped It was just rubbish umpiring

[Bruce G McAbee]

The game was lost when Gresh ignored McCartin directly in front and had a shot with a banana kick.

That was putrid.

Paddy's fault though

No not Paddy's fault, he needs to assert himself though and demand the ball.

I think you missed the sarcasm.

Its always Paddy's fault

[The Craw]

It is all about intent, effort and hunger. Only one in the team have it and that is Carisle.

No 2 way running.

Just spectating.

Kicking to 2 on 4, 1 on 2 and no front and centre.

Basics ..... and continue to do the same over and over and over.

An absolute rabble.

I've stopped listening now, but SEN consistently calling his ignored leads (and missed frees).

Stop blaming the players. They can't all suddenly be spuds. It's leadership or complete lack of it.

They've been spuds all year...lazy, useless, unmotivated spuds.

And why is that?

Oh, it's coached into them? You've got to be joking.

No dude...the passion and commitment is coached out of them. If you work for a company, you're contracted so you have to stay there......and the boss is useless and has been for quite some time..and it's an unhappy and non-cohesive workplace..are you motivated or not? After a while it eats you from the inside irrespective of the money. That's how they're playing....

Sorry, but I think that's laughable...they're not self-motivated by retention of their livelihood, contract value, shame and humiliation? We're not talking their inability to play set zones, we're talking football basics here.

They don't play in individual vacuums. They're part of a team with a culture, collective confidence and collective purpose. The leadership sets the boundaries for the creation of the culture. If the leadership is rubbish, impossible to create a solid culture - consequently leading to diminished confidence and lack of focus and purpose. If it gets bad enough, as it has now, the whole ship can spiral downwards and that's what we're witnessing. The container for the creation of a healthy culture is set by the leadership. Richo has failed abysmally.

[Bruce G McAbee]

I think we can forget about Lynch. Why would he want to come to this table.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Rabble, bloody spell check.

They may not play in individual vaccuums...but it sure looks like it. I wouldn't be the first to note the complete lack of onfield leadership.

[Bruce G McAbee]

What a pathetic lick.

[desertsaint]

What a pathetic lick.

our players couldn't even lick an icecream properly.

[derby Street]

This aint Richardson.

This is f****** weak as piss, moronic players.

Agree its a bit tough to blame Richardson for schoolboy mistakes out on the field. If you are game have a look at the replay it will make you puke.

[Bruce G McAbee]

We are so slow.

[st.byron]

This aint Richardson.

The entire mental framework for the team is set by the leadership. It's totally about Richardson and the leadership above him.

[SaintPav]

Alex Sexton is a little flog

[Bruce G McAbee]

Why are we fighting when we are losing.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Now we've lost Rice.

[MC Gusto]

The players have dropped their shoulders - literally!! Have a look at them they are depressed

[The_Dud]

Precisely

[MC Gusto]

Inbelievable

[shrodes]

Now we've lost Rice.

Cooked.

[portosaint]

I think we can forget about Lynch. Why would he want to come to this table.

Forget about him anyway. Its taken a match against us to look half decent. Not worth the cheddar

[shrodes]

What's up with Membrey today? Coasting on his last couple?

[axcellence]

Saints ball movement is like a constipated person trying to pass stool.

[portosaint]

Any chance this is a revolt? Have the playing group made a decision that they would prefer Richo loses his gig?

Stranger things have happened
