John Kennedy

You know something? I thought Kennedy should have been out the door after his “reign” last season. He wasn’t. Isn’t.

Strachan? I have no idea what he does or beings to the table, other than folk slaughtering him for using a laptop.

That being said, it’s time now for everycunt moaning about them being here to shut the * up and deal with it. Ange is the man in charge, and HE has decided he wants them in. That decision has to be respected.

If it isn’t then that is as good as showing the new manager no respect, nor any support whatsoever.

Just give it a rest…

 

Totally agree. That's what I was saying in my last post. The most imortant thing now is to move forward in as positive a way as we can. Can't have any disharmony. The time to say 'I told you so' can wait. Hopefully it never comes mind you, but let's knock it on the head and get behind Ange and the team.

 

South Korea, Japan significantly better
Iran better
Qatar, Saudis, iraq, Syria, Kuwait,Jordan, UAE, Uzbeks are extremely hard to beat when they play at home (barring Iraq, syria), Australia can't deal with them, the conditions, the travel, they are all unpredictable and play like they are more to play for when they play Australia.
South East Asian countries are developing youth at a better rate than Australia.
China is a basketcase.

Since 2006, Australia could go to Jordan lose 1-0, the next week beat Germany then play Jordan in Australia and win 4-0. Asian football is odd.

 

Ange hasn’t decided in my opinion. That’s the problem.

 

Right, well for the sake of debate can you please inform us of what “proof” you have of this?

 

We have to take him at his word or we’re behind the 8 ball before we even get started.

 

This.

I moan/moaned as much as any * last season, and would still like to see a bit more, but ffs I’m absolutely sick of negativity around this club.

We have a manager in place trying to change things for the better. Everything he has said has been positive.

Maybe we should do him a solid in showing him some * respect by not calling him a liar and a “yes man”.

 

I have nonidea if John Kennedy is good or bad at his job. None whatsoever.

I don't think there is a person on this site who has any knowledge of that.

What I DO know is that there is a section of our support who love to jump on a bandwagon when something is first mooted. "Kennedy and Strachan are *, get them the *!"

The same happened last year with the "Barkas husnae made a save" line. Lazy and ill informed attempts to create a whipping boy in my opinion.

It's the same people who, if they had their way, would have let players like Forrest and Callum McGregor not have a career.

I'm not saying that they are wrong about Kennedy, but frankly I have no idea, but neither do they. It's all white noise.

The choice has been made and it's all water under the bridge. Time to get behind the team and the backroom staff and hope that we can overhaul the huns.

 

This was hilarious at times last season, like some people would just start foaming at the mouth about a laptop whenever the camera panned to the dugout and he was in frame. That laptop could have had every bit of player/game data imaginable on it, doesn't really matter when you have a manager like Lennon that doesn't bother himself with trivial things like reviewing previous games footage, fitness and tactics.

 

Genuinely hope the next fan media that they jump on this. Keeping these two charlatans against the wishes of the fans is proof * all has changed. They should have been chased. Simple as that

 

That's what I don't get. A lot of fans are saying we have to modernise and use sports science etc then moan when he's on the laptop. The laptop is where all the data is for the players - distance run during a game, heart rate etc. For a while I wondered why players were all wearing sports bras so I looked it up and they're microchipped and record all the data Strachan will be looking at during the games.

 

I said “in my opinion.” However, he wouldn’t be the first manager to have coaches forced upon him, so I’ve no reason to not think he was forced to keep Kennedy. I think it’s naive to think otherwise in all honesty.

 

We’re well behind the 8 ball anyway mate.

 

So are you saying Ange is a liar? He quite clearly said he wants them to stay and he'd back his own judgement.

 

I’m aware you stated it was your “opinion”, but just because you state it as opinion doesn’t mean you can spout unsubstantiated bullshit (which it may or may not be) hence why I asked you for some info that influenced that as your opinion…

 

What else is he meant to say on it? It absolutely stinks. Keeping on coaches from a failed regime. I can’t believe there are fans falling for this nonsense.

 

The fact that previous managers have had coaches forced on them. Funnily enough, that’s where I’m being influenced into believing that has happened again with Ange.

 

Who’s had coaches “forced” on them, just out of interest???

 

He gives me the impression he wouldn't be told what to say and the Aussie guys on here all say that's the case.

 

Deila & Lennon.
