Answer to yesterday's question
No, Johnny A' hasn't walked. What he did do, according to reliable sources, is hand over the reigns for the 2nd half to his assistant John Gabrielson. Johhny A' walked in at half time, said 'that was shit', told Billy Nats and Hamlet to get off, Caldwell and Zoric to go on, and left it up to the players. As far as crazy out there tactics go, it worked. Now for the rest of the season.

Crazy? Sitting down at half time, spending 15 minutes going over what everybody should be doing is crazy. Telling people off and then trying to motivate is crazy. They should already know what to do and be ready on matchday. Get the shit off and give someone else a go.
ReplyDeleteJohn Gabrielson?!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! I played cricket against him in the 1980's!
I thought he was Jewish!
Then someone pointed out to me a few years ago the truth! LOL
I do not know what has happened to him, but I am now acquainted with a nephew of his who was born in the Netherlands and came out here to help his auntie (Gabrielson's sister/cousin) open Kalimera in Oakleigh!
I assume he's probably still an assistant to Johnny A.
