Weston Saint Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 Is he about to get his cards? That is what I was told today at the game by an outsider on the inside.
um pahars Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 Hear he has already got them!!!!!!! He would have gone in the summer had Lowe not got greedy and demanded a compensation fee from Ipswich.
Weston Saint Posted 15 November, 2008 Author Posted 15 November, 2008 Supposed to be after the game today.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 would be about right - Davies has been our best player this year!!!
Huffton Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 Well why not, Ruperts got rid of everyone else with a bit of football know how...
alpine_saint Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 Seeing as KD has been playing very well this season, isnt the timing a bit odd ??? I reckon he was dire when Burley was here, but I was thinking he had cleaned up his act under JP and Lowe. We going to go forward without a recognised goalkeeping coach then. Superb. Who decided this ? Mikey the football chairman or Rupey the plc chairman ?
Toomer Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 would be about right - Davies has been our best player this year!!! Yes Ron was about 40 years ago.
Window Cleaner Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 would be about right - Davies has been our best player this year!!! Davis?
exit2 Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 Saw Paul Jones with Cowen in reception before the game, new GK coach? He was offered GK coach for Wales and is now playing for Bognor Regis
Toomer Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 See Forecast was on the bench KD off in January?
Window Cleaner Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 KD off in January? Probably not. It's just that Bart is such a no hoper that Forecast is probably the better option.Bart may leave I think.
Huffton Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 KD off in January? Quite possibly:( KD is out of contract at the end of the season, so even if he doesn't want to leave, its almost certain that if he digs his heels in he won't be offered a new contract. The club will ship him out one way or the other and to go in Jan for a fee would make more sense for both parties. RIP SFC:(
VectisSaint Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 Probably not. It's just that Bart is such a no hoper that Forecast is probably the better option.Bart may leave I think. JP rotates the back up keeper, last 4 games, 2 benches for Bart, 2 for Tommy. he has been doing it most of the season. Actually quite a sensible option, one of the few sensible choices JP is capable of. Keep your sub keepers on their toes, and give them both ressie games to keep up their match "fitness"

VectisSaint Posted 15 November, 2008 Posted 15 November, 2008 i am sure today was the first time Forecast has been involved for a home game We played 2 home games on the trot, so good chance Tommy would get the nod.
Katalinic Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 There seemed to be a new GK coach last night - anyone know who he is?
Huffton Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 There seemed to be a new GK coach last night - anyone know who he is? Was Keith Granger. Not a new coach, been working under Webster for ages. So where was MW last night?:confused:
Ash Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 We going to go forward without a recognised goalkeeping coach then. Superb. Who decided this ? Mikey the football chairman or Rupey the plc chairman ? From a rumour that the goalkeeper coach is leaving you get all excited that we are not going to replace him! Firstly, if the rumour is anything like 99 percent of the other rumours on here it will be bull****. And if it is true, why don't we wait and see if the club replaces him before getting a boner about it. See Forecast was on the bench KD off in January? I see Arsenal included a goalkeeper on their substitutes bench last night, are we to assume from this that Almunia is leaving in January? Or is naming a substitute keeper standard practice?
Danny Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 He would have gone in the summer had Lowe not got greedy and demanded a compensation fee from Ipswich. If staff are leaving whilst under contract I'd be worried if we weren't trying to get compensation fees for them.
um pahars Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 If staff are leaving whilst under contract I'd be worried if we weren't trying to get compensation fees for them. But when you want them to go and they themselves want to go, then it might appear sligtly greedy to demand a fee to top off the savings you will soon be making. As it turned out, the compensation was turned down and we instead had to continue paying Webster. The three options were: Best case: Get compo and save money Middle way : No compo but agree to release and save a pot of wages Worst case : See out contract Looks like we ended up wth the worst case scenario.

We did get compo for Burley in similar circumstances. At the end of the day Webster did not get the Ipswich job whether it was the compensation I dont know
um pahars Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 We did get compo for Burley in similar circumstances. At the end of the day Webster did not get the Ipswich job whether it was the compensation I dont know Good old supply and demand. The jocks wanted Burley and were prepared to pay for their number one choice. Ipswich wanted a goalkeeping coach, but weren't prepared to pay a wedge for him. We got greedy and thought there was a finite supply and that Webster was really in demand.

You may be right but how do you know? How do you Lowe what Lowe's negotion stance was How do you know Webster was the first choice How do you know Webster was not required
Master Bates Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 You may be right but how do you know? How do you Lowe what Lowe's negotion stance was How do you know Webster was the first choice How do you know Webster was not required Lowe standard of spelling etc if you ask me, but you didn't so................
John B Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 Lowe standard of spelling etc if you ask me, but you didn't so................ Yes I agree no spell checker here

saint lard Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 Solent stated,during the match commentary last night, that he had left some time ago.
Weston Saint Posted 26 November, 2008 Author Posted 26 November, 2008 I have just had a text. Webster did indeed leave after the Wolves game as I was told by one of my media friends just before the game.
saint_ed Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 isn't Coles available Just signed a new contract with Skates. Biggest loss for years IMO.
Fan The Flames Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 Just signed a new contract with Skates. Biggest loss for years IMO. I agree. Bol**cks I thought they were releasing him, didn't realise he was there until recently, no wonder James has had a renaissance.
Bailey Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 I have just had a text. Webster did indeed leave after the Wolves game as I was told by one of my media friends just before the game. I was made aware of Webster's departure also, but I do find it odd that there is absolutely no mention of it whatsoever on the OS. They could at least keep the fans updated couldn't they?
VectisSaint Posted 26 November, 2008 Posted 26 November, 2008 OK but is Webster off this time. By the way who is our second Goal Keeper? Forecast is playing for the Reserves tonight Don't think we have a designated #2 keeper. Its been obvious for some time now that JP is trying to keep Bart and Tommy involved by alternating them on the bench for the 1st team, and giving both run-outs in the reserves when he can. Seems like a sensible system to me. Must be one of the most frustrating jobs in football to be a #2 keeper, especially with an ever present #1. Every game you get to keep the bench warm hoping that the #1 keeper gets injured so you can get a game. Nice.
N/West Saint Posted 27 November, 2008 Posted 27 November, 2008 Seeing as KD has been playing very well this season, isnt the timing a bit odd ???

OldNick Posted 27 November, 2008 Posted 27 November, 2008 I think the official line is that he is on gardening leave. Im trying to find out why. Grainger will take over I suspect. That is what was to happen if Webster had gone in the summer. As for asking for compensation I was not surprised. If Ipswich wanted him badly they would surely have paid a bit for him, would we expect a player to go for nothing if he was wanted and under contract? I think also Webster had a spat with Magilton when he came to SMS and that was to do with the way it was handled.
CB Fry Posted 27 November, 2008 Posted 27 November, 2008 Seeing as KD has been playing very well this season, isnt the timing a bit odd ???

Who decided this ? Mikey the football chairman or Rupey the plc chairman ? This would be the same Malcolm Webster that you and many others slated left right and centre for being part of "the drunk's" regime and not adding anything to the club? I love the shifting sands of the serial moaners, just slight movements in position so they can continue moaning about everything. The above is a great example, as it other misery supreme SaintRichmond who has suddenly decided all our young players are brilliant because he thinks Lowe is going to sell them in January. Two months ago they were a cost cutting bunch of kids doomed to relegation which was a comfortable moaning position, but now there is something new to moan about so we need to start making out they are fantastic and irreplaceable and I can't believe we're going to sell them all moan moan moan moan. Love it chaps, keep it up.
Thedelldays Posted 27 November, 2008 Posted 27 November, 2008 CB...pay up thr £5...you are one of the most realistic posters here.. seriously mate..you say it how it is..
Ewell Posted 27 November, 2008 Posted 27 November, 2008 CB...pay up thr £5...you are one of the most realistic posters here.. seriously mate..you say it how it is.. I have to agree and to prove it I have used up 1\3 of my daily allowance. Top work CB! :smt038
OldNick Posted 27 November, 2008 Posted 27 November, 2008 I have to agree and to prove it I have used up 1\3 of my daily allowance. Top work CB! :smt038I agree CB should pay up and you should also Ewell.We dont always see eye to eye but you also give good posts.
derry Posted 27 November, 2008 Posted 27 November, 2008 Interestingly for me, one of Kelvin Davis's greatest weaknesses and our achilles heel, was an inability to come off the line and catch or punch crosses coming into our six yd box. Webster goes, all of a sudden Kelvin is catching or punching most of the crosses in his goal area and making a good job of it. This is a major policy change and looks like somebody has made a decision that crosses have to be caught. Davis looks a much better goalkeeper because of it. It may be that staying on the line was a coaching decision. It was the one thing along with the distribution that was lacking for the last two seasons. Webster goes, the ball is being passed and not just hit long and the keeper is coming for the crosses, sounds like he was overruled by someone.

Love it chaps, keep it up. the shifting moan I like is about Schneiderlin; we had lightweight, inexperienced, expensive, Lowe signing and Lowe knows nothing about football, club lying that other clubs wanted him etc now - how can the club possibly consider cashing in and making a profit!
rooney Posted 27 November, 2008 Posted 27 November, 2008 Has anybody ever seen Malcolm Webster run or even trot or walk fast?
jam Posted 28 November, 2008 Posted 28 November, 2008 Saw Paul Jones with Cowen in reception before the game, new GK coach? He was offered GK coach for Wales and is now playing for Bognor Regis Thanks, exit2. Proper "I saw X at the club with X" gossip. Much more of this needed I reckon. so much better than the"I know something you don't" coded messages between posters favoured by others on here...
