We Are The Reds

Sadly it’s not uncommon to hear in the stands, I try and call it out when I see it but you have to make a choice sometimes about your own safety in the moment. I miss the advertisement of a text line you alert security of an issue. One of the biggest issues in football is getting better at understan...

We play such dour football and it is not engaging the casual fan, numbers are going to be slim this year. Kurz needs to trust his players and not crowd our midfield so much, Isias needs space to work and see the pitch. It is 2018 and Vince LIa is a regular starter for a team looking to win a title.

Our club will continue to have its emerging young players leave as we have no transitional contract pathway from what is essentially a junior to senior player contract. The systems in place support a developmental strategy of utilizing young players as low risk/low cost employees that does not ackno...

Lia is a good option in an emergency and gives us experience and steel (thuggery) off the bench and in case of injury but.... just like our last two pre season windows we end up having too many fillers and not enough quality. I wasn't against Duganzic when he signed... and then he ended up having to...

I have edited and been involved in the writing of far too many press releases in my time to think that anything said in one is not exactly what the writer intends. Theoffiial release regarding Eugene's departure did not need any of the content on him not accepting our terms, it didn't need the angle...

I feel pretty confident Holland used us as a pre season to get his move to China and build his fitness while getting paid very well. I doubt he wanted to adapt his role. I know it's a professional industry and a job is a job but I wouldn't want him back on the coin he demands.

Obviously its not an issue for a lot of other members here but I don't want to someone with that character and reputation at our club. You only have to see how relaxed attitudes towards recreational drug usage in sporting cultures creates negative culture. I can see the "personal time" argument but ...

WSW must have such an odd football culture with their player turnover, hard to imagine their is much leadership and familiarity. I know Popovich is highly rated but his dartboard approach to success and people management is bizarre. I think we have the makings of an "okay" squad but we did at the st...

On the Batigol as our new trainer rumors... I have a friend who is a huge fan, boyhood hero growing up and all that. Told me once that he got to meet him at a charity event and was somewhat let down, bit of a mad ranting playboy out of touch with football and convinced that divine guidance gave him ...

I remember under Gombau the club hierarchy were keen to push a future wherein our first team was almost entirely youth and local products. It was a promise then of quality, of family and scaffolding of talents with strong leadership, guidance and footballing expertise. It felt like a plausible and r...

Came home feeling quite deflated after that, great first half and an awful second, lot of players I imagine playing their final regular season home game and it wasn't a great send off. First half they sat deep and gave as a lot of time on the ball, all our midfield looked solid and took turns rotati...

What a farce. I feel dirty celebrating.

No doubt chellos red will be huge ammunition against his season for those who don't rate him but he was good tonight. Pressed, tackled and talked to his teamates, presented constantly and while he played some loose balls he tried to make things happen and was involved always in our best play. Guy is...

Regan I imagine is on a cheaper deal that LaRocca which suits the club. He is not a spectacular player but what I have noticed is that at training he is very vocal and has a lot of energy, reminds me a bit of Rudan when he was here for that short period. Good character to have around a football club...

Love Cirio but not only does playing him up top add absolute nothing to our play but it detracts as he cannot play on the wing meaning we are lesser there also. The consistent lack of faith in Cirio to play his natural position I have no doubt is in part impacting his confidence and wholly affecting...
