Touhey's free to Pav in front of goal, is symptomatic of what I keep saying every week. A whole body to tackle, but they have to grab blokes around the neck. I would love whomever is our next coach to institute a system of fines, with the money to go to CFC main charity Peter Mac. Hit the players in the hip pocket, it's the only way they MIGHT learn.
Include in the fines, missing goals from 30 metres out directly in front.Kicking to the opposition. Fine them for basic mistakes which senior footballers should never make.
So far, I'm pleased with the effort considering the passengers we are carrying.
Rowe, Tutt, Henderson, Yarran, Curnow, just not up to it, and never will be. The jury is still out on Fields but he's done nothing of note. Carrazo, needs to retire at years end.
I said last week that I didn't want Barker as coach. I said that he lacked passion in the box and seemed to cop mistakes. I then watched his after match conference last week, and heard him interviewed.
It is gratifying to know, that he is fully aware of the lack of skill that his players posses, and the areas that need improving. In the interview, he was asked about his lack of apparent passion in the box compared to other coaches. he said that he's doing it tough internally, but feels that if he was to get too carried away, it would hinder him from thinking about exactly what he needs to do in the game.
I respect him for that, and don't know if he will get the job, but think that given some better cattle, he would do a devent job.
Whether or not a decent job would be good enough, is debatable.
AND one more thing about the umpiring.
The umpiring is disgraceful, and it is unforgivable that it is. There are three of those mentally deficient idiots out there, so you would think that they would have half a chance of getting it right.
However that last free kick on the buzzer given for a so called push in the back against Docherty, when 5 seconds earlier, he received exactly the same so called push in the back and it wasn't paid, is symptomatic, of umpires favouring teams at the top of the ladder against teams at the bottom.
They shouldn't do it, but they do, and always have.
And it's bloody frustrating.
However until such times as the sickly sweet commentators covering games, instead of saying like Dunstall said, "there wasn't much in that", when the free was awarded against Docherty, had said, "that was a disgraceful free kick given by an umpire who is clueless", then you might actually get a reaction from the powers that be.
And instead of the League licking the collective bottoms of umpires and telling us that these highly paid individuals, paid with our hard earned I should add, are a protected species, said that the umpires will be placed on notice that simple mistakes will have them umpiring in the under 8's, they might actually pay frees based on the rules, rather than what they think a free should be paid for, and start treating all teams equally.
