So... Richo on talking footy

[bigred]

Sung the praises of Bill Slater. More of the same.

Sung the praises of Matt Parker. Specifically about how "grateful" he is to be playing. Differs to most.

Talked aboit Paddy. Talked specifically about playing Paddy in the backline. Talked about Paddy probably not playing this year.

IMO he isnt fit enough and would need a specific preseason to prepare.

Seemed keen to discuss the adelaide game and what went right and wrong. But that show was just not really interested.

Talked up Max King in the magoos in a few weeks.

Talk it up.

You feel for him

I think the host and Timmy felt for him. They had this strange look at times and I was wondering what they were thinking. Tim probably thought; How the f*** has this guy lasted over 5 years?

They had a fair few stories on tonight and they made sure that they didn't spend too much time interviewing Cho and I suppose you can't blame them. They don't want to send their audience to sleep

His record may improve slightly but that will never hide the fact that Richo isn't made of the stuff required to be succesful as a head coach. Can you imagine Cho telling all his players that they can't wear long sleeves? I mean I'm not saying they wouldn't do it, but I'm saying he wouldn't be that bold or that demanding. Yeah nah he'll be a ripper whether it's long sleeves or not

We employ a bloke like Billy Slater because he inspires. He oozes leadership. Billy has credibility. He motivates you and drives you to be better. I'm sorry but it's pretty obvious.

You know when you sometimes do a piss as a bloke and you get the feeling that some of it is spraying on your pants...then you look down and you realise 'yeah'!! I am pissing on my pants. Well...it feels like he just isn't cut out to lead because basically...he isn't cut out to lead.

[Special]

Love the whack Scollop you are spot on.

If Paddy plays again I will be disappointed. I mean seriously if the guy still has symptoms from a minor hit nearly 2 months ago he is cooked. Maybe it’s just spin and window dressing at this stage given how sad the story is.

[Vazelos]

The club has told him not to play again but McCartin won’t accept it I think he is cooked but you never know.
What I have heard is Roberton won’t play again his career is over.

Bully!

I reckon you were bullied at school. Probably still go to sleep with the light on.

[bigred]

I actually thought Richo went OK on this.

[nw7]

Richo has gone ok this year so far. I think he was forced into changing his coaching staff and stupid gameplan from last year (thank goodness). He has been saying and doing the right things. I hope it keeps going and the team stays competitive and keeps winning.

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Richo was very good on the couch. Great interview.

Glad he has got the side up and about and playing well to sit at 4-2. Much more like 2016 and 2017 where we had a winning season and even season.

George W went ok too. As long as everyone else makes the important decisions I suppose it'd be ok for a little while

Total bs to suit your agenda. Clearly the way the players are attacking the season shows that they don't agree with you. Sure Billy helps, but the modern football club is all about a team effort. Not just one person. Having said that, when the team has been down at times in games, and have hit back hard, guess who was talking to them at the break?

[SaintPav]

Thanks Ted.

Exactly.

[Scollop]

Agenda shmenda. I want our team to achieve it's potential and not be held back by weak links. I see weakness in the bloke who is head coach. Don't like it? Stiff!! Put me on ignore and inform us why he is the best fit and the reasons why you think he should be retained.

[Whiskey]

Unbelievable that anybody thinks his performance is remotely satisfactory after these 5 years. A few wins and all of a sudden hes not the issue anymore? Gee you people forget quickly.

Gee Ted, the club must be so happy to have you on here.

Never critical, never questioning just accepting. Accepting. Accepting.

I'm sure there is a word for it but I can't, for the life of me, remember.

Settle pettle. The point is, as everyone in the footy world knows, Richo will be sacked if we win, what, maybe 6 games this year? But that will be at the end of the year, not during the season. Those days are gone. If we win more than that, then imo he won't be sacked, and would only be sacked if he was thought of as not being up to it by those in the know, not dufus online warriors who have never met the guy. So the result? Let it go until the end of the season and enjoy the ride. It's been pretty good so far.

He won’t be extended either because of “dufus online warriors who have never met the guy”.

George W went ok too. As long as everyone else makes the important decisions I suppose it'd be ok for a little while

Ronald Reagan did brilliantly.
When visiting leaders raised an issue he was not able to answer (which was most of the time) he would simply defer to one of his advisers to provide the answer.
He was simply the manager and let the professionals he employed do their jobs.
The best POTUS in the last 50 years, easily.

Apparently the Reagan’s were dining out in Washington a number of years back and the waiter was taking Nancy’s steak order when he asked:

Waiter: how would madam like her steak cooked?

Nancy: medium rare, thank you.

Waiter: and the vegetable?

Nancy: he’s having what I’m having.

[prwilkinson]

I’d put a line through Paddy and Robbo’s career. Bloody sad for both of them.

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Well...Alan survived Rd 6 (when he was meant to get chopped for contract reasons). He is coaching on Saturday for Rd 7. Well done to Alan for getting past this milestone.

[beebarry]

Last year was terrible - no one denies that ...but before that, we went from bottom of the ladder to 9th across 3 seasons, and all and sundry talked AR up as a good developing coach and a good teacher.

If nothing had changed in the offseason, then I would be front of the line calling for AR to be sacked. But it did change. Lots of change. And it shows. Any manager that suddenly finds himself out of his depth surrounds himself with quality advisors. I think STKFC have done just that.

Like all on here I just want success, and am prepared to see how we go over the next 4 months before getting my pitchfork out and marching on Linton st with the rabid AR haters!

Come on Sainters - lets see if we can jag a win or two in the next very tough month and really build something for 2020.

I've done my bit. Perhaps you are right and my continual criticism of his worth can take a break.

As you know, it has to be a team effort if we are going to improve and I reckon there'll be plenty of other posters who will step up and give him a whack when it's warranted and when they see fit. I'm betting you'll see a 'Sack the coach' thread at some stage this year. After all, we've lost all the usual whipping boys to retirement...and now Lonie and Geary are injured
