Keep Ellinger

Ramone · 05-02-2006, 01:44 PM

two more reasons why Ellinger must go:

1.after the LA game (where we were up 1-0 at home, with momentum, and then gave the game away) nothing was said in the locker room. This team should have been ripped apart, but nothing was said or has been said after any of the losses. No wonder Pope thinks they are doing a good job. he would probably prefer the coaching staff use sign language to communicate because he is so dang quiet and laid back.

2.since picking up pretty much an entirely new team Ellinger has never once gone over tactics at practice. by this i mean fluid movement together as a team on both offense and defense (where to run when). Thus everyone is on their own page. Thus we have never gelled. thus as one player has said, "when i have the ball i know what i am doing but i have no clue what the guy behind me or in front of me are thinking". no wonder we havent gelled. This wouldnt take long. these players are good and have been playing long. Two touch all practice long cant cut it any more.

Ramone: You don't happen to be a fly do you? (As in a fly on the wall) Where are you getting this inside info?

Have you been to every second of every practice and heard everything that Coach E has said at these practices? The only way that could even remotely be a possibility is if you are a player. So, who are you? If you don't want to give us your name, just tell us what number you wear.

Plus I would add to the scenario that even though you actually did fire half of the team after the first year of the project, your getting the same (or worse) results.

I'm just asking. What would you say? Not what should you say, but what would you say?

Ramone · 05-02-2006, 02:41 PM

Yes i am a fly, a fly who speaks english.

Don't believe me if you don't want to, but i assure you that what i tell you is the truth.

AreliusIV · 05-02-2006, 02:51 PM

Well, I'm glad you speak English because I don't understand flies that speak Arabic, Dutch, or any other language.

Ramone, believe me when I tell you that I believe you and I believe that what you say is the truth. I just wish you could tell us a little more about yourself and how you know these very interesting things...

I'm not sure we can trust Ramone, if that's even his real name! :jawdrop:

All I can say is, trust or not, these comments explain the product we've seen on the field. We have good players, but not a good team. Everyone is on their own program and no one truly works together. That's why goals like Kreis' against the Galaxy are so amazing. Amazing teamwork, but exceedingly rare for RSL.

That's the biggest load of crap I've read since the Trib on saturday, Sunday, Monday ... fine ... every time I read the trib. 'Ramone' you're so full of it your eyes are brown. I suspect somewhere there is a village missing it's idiot. I have been to practices so many times and have stood next to Coach E and BJ and Peter and have heard the drills, seen the drills, watched the drills, heard tactics discussed and explained. I assume you have heard of Bob Paisley? One of the most succesful managers of all time anywhere in the world; he often said nothing at half time, he said if the players couldn't tell they played badly then they weren't real players, he felt he was a manager not a babysitter.

If you're a player then you are the very reason RSL is losing, you should be ashamed - Jerry Sloan calls people like you locker room lawyers and says the only thing to do with them is fire them as fast as you can. If you are a staff member then loyalty is obviously a word that doesn't translate in your dictionary, your wages are paid by the team you lie about. If you're a fan pretending to have some inside knowledge then you should grow up and instead of lying for kicks to makeyourself feel important or useful you should get a job or at least lie about something that isn't so easily challenged. Either way stand up and be a man and give us your name - unless that is you're ashamed already, are lying, or don't have the bollocks to tell your stories to the players, coaching staff or FO, face to face - man to man Coach E. I bet not. Ramone spelled backwards ... C..O..W..A..R..D. Smuck.

sure people will be around to see it. It will be the teams inaugral season in a new city
