Her initial point is valid and then it's all downhill. I just don't see how you could go on a rival teams forum and be offended that your team maybe the subject of unfavourable topics.
I'm sure steel talk is full of posts about us and are very biased. I don't mind, it would me worry if it wasn't. I don't bother looking as I can't add anything constructive.
I've noticed a lot of opposing fans spend more time on here than their own forums.

Bizarre. League winner by miles, 2 finals. They'll be doing well to improve on him.

Not in the slightest. I merely remarked upon how the Belfast Giants management feel the need to speak of Adey's achievements (league win and two final chokes) and yet fail to mention what you and many of your fellow fans have been telling us is the fourth bit you need for a 'Grand Slam'. Clueless? Linger a little whilst looking in the mirror this morning for an answer to that. +100 Makes me laugh that claretgiant can give it out, yet when we question it for them then we are all numpties. What makes us clueless btw? Im sure you will both be getting PM's from Claretgiant like I did when I dared to say I didn't like the Giants fans or organisation. |

I just think we give them too many chances especially the likes of claretgiant who always resorts to name calling if you dare to say anything about their precious can do no wrong Giants. Speak out of turn on Steeltalk and your banned for life no warning whatsoever. |

Their biggest issue is they have no short game. They are ok over 52 but when it comes to knockout stages they lose it. Not sure if that's a coaching issue or player mentality.

Wow, she's very sensitive. Maybe she shouldn't come on here. We are not going to blow sunshine up the bum of a rival.
Even if they deserved it we wouldn't. I really think post winning the league they were awful! Not what I'd expect from them.
Fife made them look weak in the semi finals. No disrespect to Fife but the Giants should not of been scraping a one goal game. They had an arrogance that they were winning and Fife came onto the ice fighting and the Giants struggled to cope. That's not good from the number one team.
I wonder how many players they re-sign. Fresh blood required me thinks.

Has G actually signed at Sheffield? Adey to Sheffield, offer he couldn't refuse?

Keefe returning.
I don't know any details, but can't help wondering whether Adey's contribution has been slightly under-valued.

There seems to be more posts on here slagging off the Giants and their fans than there is posts about the actual subject nowadays lol.
Can we just call it quits now please? It's gone on long enough.

If it was money that was the problem for a new contract I guess Hull would not get a sniff of Adey.But what a refreshing option and chance for both us/sport and Stingrays.

Adey leaving has been on the cards - Todd did say he didn't spend money on coach wages if it took from playing budget. I thought he would go to you guys then Nielson signed up. Trust Todd to make right decision... slag us off all you like on here - it's your forum. for the record - female  |

Trust Todd to make right decision... slag us off all you like on here - it's your forum. for the record - female If that is the reason, it's an interesting one. From Paul's point of view, he's perfectly entitled to ask for improved terms after a successful season. I wonder what message this sends. Do the Giants think that the man behind the bench isn't actually that important? |

Adey remarked himself he's not to be credited for the team's success he's just directs the traffic - it's up to them to execute it. Taking nothing away from the calmness & experience he added to the bench as it played a huge part - knowing when to reign players in or call time outs etc
We have a team with a lot of experience, same with Doug's league winning team (Rebek widely credited with leadership) and this year Someone (possibly Shields) remarked that the guys are allowed to play the way they want to without having to stick to systems
It's an interesting theory that if you have the right team could they be "coached" by anyone? We effectively had 7 or 8 potential captains this season - and I think Sandrock was learning from Adey (he'll be our coach in a few years I think)
Doesn't seem like any bad blood between us & Adey which is a great positive as well.

Adey did well with the Giants however he was given a pretty good hockey team. I suspect he will use the success this season to return to Europe. I maybe out to lunch here but I could see Elfring possibly being considered for the coach position.
