Interesting comment by the former on Footy Crappified tonite...
He was wondering how a team who is 5 goals up at 3/4 time, capitulate in such a manner and lose a finals game. And what mindset the coach had instilled in the players.
I'd like to ask him the question re 2005 prelim.
Ok, so please tell me wher I have bagged GT?
Where did I state we were 5 goals up?? The 5 goals up comment is what GT was talking about, not me.
7 goals against is a capitulation in anyone's language (perhaps not yours).
So what is my conclusion? The OP is a load of total steaming c@#p posted by one of the most obsessive GT-haters on this forum.
All I can say is that if you seriously went and watched the replay because you suffer sleepless nights being tormented by internet fools such as myself who dare to speak out against the messiah, then, my friend, you seriously have some issues to deal with IMO.
Your incessant ramblings and feeble attempts to either deal my ego a savage blow, or to try and embarrass me have been a miserable failure. I can do that on my own, and according to some, I do it fairly well at times.
You are but one of the few blinded people who need to maintain the rage and defend GT to the death. Too funny. All you do is stoke the fire by railing against those whom you accuse of stoking the fire.
Was GT a hypocrite? IMO yes, because he lied about his appointment. No respect from day 1 AFAIAC.
Was GT a hypocrite for his comments? See above.
Did he do a good job as coach? I'd rate him a 7/10 for his tenure. Some issues were beyond his control, as they are for all coaches, and others were are result of him being (as you call him) a pompous git.
Some people look at the finals results as a be all and end all argument to justify their beliefs... others look at other issues to justify theirs. Personally, I look at other issues as well as the win/loss record.
Also, I did not start comparing him to RL or question his coaching record. So I'm not sure what all your blabbering is about. So you take a disliking to my posts? woo-farking-hoo.
Um, and what is my conclusion? Your reply is a load of total steaming c@#p posted by one of the most obsessive GT-lovers on this forum who simply cannot get over the fact that his coach was sacked, and suffers with the mixed emotins he feels because part of ihim wants to enjoy this year... but those little voices in his head still tell him "GT would have done a better job because he was the greatest coach to ever coach the Saints and should never have been sacked".
We have moved on somewhat. If your answer is YES, GT is qualified to make the remark, then I'll accept it, as you are entitled to it.
Otherwise, thanks for the compliment.
But then again, I wasn't the one calling for RL to be sacked, was I?
No doubt, the doors to your club shall be swung wide open should we, heaven forbib, not make the GF... let alone lose it.
EDITED: Just re read the first page...
I note:
- you jumped in and talked about people counting their chickens. Yet no-one said that we are a sho-in to win the PF let alone the GF.
- you also commented that it's wrong to compare the 2 games... well I have the right to discuss my thoughts.
That you judge GT's succes purely in terms of having coahed to 2 failed prelims (yes, Ross has once, but that's not what this thread was about) just shows what a simpleton you are and that you have no understanding of footy whatsoever. Or perhaps I'm wrong and you do have a clue.. pity your blind loyalty to all things GT doesn't allow this to shine through.
Anyway, Go Saints!
