Coast Football Ramble Podcast

[Big Al]

How does Gatt decide whether to put a rumour out in the media or hold on to it. Essentially how does he decide when someone is legit or full of it.

How is he finding it trying to get information out of the Mariners at the moment, is he finding Paulo is running a tight ship on information?

 

[Yoda]

Liam Rose - What position does he prefer to play and how is he liking the transition to CB? Does the change of position improve or hinder his options when he inevitably moves overseas.

 

[pjennings]

Ray - I'll just "stealthily" ask you these questions -

1) is it ethical for a player agent to promote destabilisation of a club so that one or more of his clients can move?
2) is it ethical for a player agent to use a podcast as his own bully pulpit to achieve destabilisation of a club?

 

[scottmac]

Ray - how hard was it supporting the Mariners and having to write the type of articles and reporting the information that got around about the club the last few years?

Rosey - if you could choose any mariners player to have worn the shirt to play beside, who would it be and why?
- who's the greatest influence on your game and why?

 

[Big Al]

Rose was saying that oath the stupidest thing you have had to do?

Mark Rudan said on fox recently you've gone backwards in the last 12 months with TW as coach. Do you feel that is correct and what Is Paulo bringing to your game to help you improve as he played a similar position.

 

[Holy]

One for Liam Rose - He seem to have built up a good relationship with Luis Garcia last season. Has he been in regular contact and if so, is he offering any advice?

 

[Coast Football Ramble]

We talk to The Australian head football reporter Ray Gatt .
Defender extraordinaire Liam Rose joins us.
And we discuss the RBB echo, Roy, Izzo and our away day.

 

[Holy]

Another good job boys.

Gee Liam Rose is an impressive young guy, realises he's been given an opportunity at the Mariners that he wouldn't of got anywhere else and is making the most of it. I wonder how many good young guys want the same opportunity to be at the Mariners.

Interesting discussion regarding Roy. I really hope he stays but there is a limit. For mine, I'd break the bank to keep him. However, I hope we keep Bingham as well. He looks the goods.

 

[Wombat]

Watching Roy tonight I wouldnt break the bank.
I want to keep him but just replay his manager his two butchered chances tonight if they are starting to get carried away.

So inconsistent, like most of the team.

He is no Ibrahimovic, but he is top 5 HAL strikers imo.
Would shine with better service......

His best service comes from Monty.

We're talking to statistician extraordinaire Andrew Howe this afternoon.
If you have any questions for him, leave them here.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Are there any stats on the ridiculous karmic notion that "it will all even itself out in the end.' Regarding bad refereeeing decisions.

Maybe broadly based the level of incompetence could be thought to be so consistent that it will level out. But referees are subject to biases.

As a Man Utd supporter, we clearly have been favoured imo.

But as a Mariners supporter... if things will magically even themselves out, then we must be in for a very good decade.

 

[dibo]

There are two dynamics in play.

The first is the notion that errors sum to zero. That's a common assumption in studies of behaviour, etc.

The second is confirmation bias. If we think we're hard done by (and when thinking about refs, everyone thinks refs are against them) we tend to put more weight on the errors that are against us than those that are for us.

Why do I think this probably bears out?

Because *nobody* thinks that refs favour their club. Everyone can think of times where they've been outrageously disadvantaged by the referee. But we're really bad at remembering times when we've been gifted an offside goal or a soft penalty.

In short, we're not objective observers.

I'm happy to lean on the first assumption - that errors sum to zero (or in other words, what goes around comes around) - until or unless I can see some objective reason not to. I'll still kick the cat and bark at the moon (figuratively speaking) every time I think a ref's done us over, but I'm not going to imagine that they're out to get us.

 

[Tevor]

I watch most games every week and without having a connection to every team I've witnessed some horror decisions and clear favouritism to certain teams (we all know who they are). Our complaints are merely whispers compared to when Arnie, Muscat etc take centre stage on the whinge express. Seemed players like Brosque could forgive the no penalty more given the clear advantages they received earlier in the year. The invincible tag probably shouldn't have made round 3.

We started the interview at 5:45, I must have just missed you post.
We'll talk to him again later in the year, so I'll ask him then.

Episode will be up shortly.

 

[Coast Football Ramble]

Andrew Howe joins us for a chat about stats.
We discuss the WSW Phallus tifo; Mariners Brass Band situation and much more.

 

[scottmac]

Love your work guys! Much appreciated.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Great effort this week.

The band have to be firmly put in their place. A dick sucking tifo perhaps? Seems to be all the rage with the cool kids.
