Why would you want him back? Need to get someone better. Someone like Zack Fitzgerald who would be far better. Matt became like a pantomime show every week and forgot about the hockey game.

I think some would argue that we would be better off watching a pantomime at the moment.........Oh yes they would!

Nicker is also on their first line. I think Nickers rep dismisses people's opinion in that he is a very solid D man. I said last year on his game his outlet pass was always on tape. You can see how much we miss his physical presence already.
Yet he still got booed out the FIA.

In my opinion correctly booed due to his sudden professionalism when offered ££££££££ over in Belfast. He came back over the Atlantic in September a different athlete to what we ever seen of him. Money insured he gave the commitment required to get a shift with Giants.

If u were paid well, given a flat, a car and the freedom to do what u liked while only having to half ass ur way through a job ud jump at the chance! Who wouldn't? You can't blame the players, they're only human. Fife are the only team who's players go home in worse shape than they arrive at the start of the season.

Nickerson wasn't asked back! He's probably on not much more money as everyone knows Fife pay the imports well even compared with the big boys! He signed for a club that wouldn't stand for someone being out of shape, sure he should have had a bit more motivation himself but was he ever handed an ultimatum like obviously was by belfast? No. His first game everyone knew he was too heavy, they had 2 years to drill it into him and obviously couldn't be bothered, it's becoming a bit of a cliche but Todd and the owners are still living in the BNL

I can understand the comments some folk are making about the perception that it's too easy for imports in Fife.
However... you can blame coaches, owners all you want but it still doesn't excuse any paid professional sportsman not being in the best possible shape he can be in at any given time and not looking after his body. Personal pride, if nothing else, should ensure that and anything less is pretty disgraceful on their part so lets stop saying otherwise.
If guys like Kyle Haines can be in top shape all year round then it can be done- end of story.

If guys like Kyle Haines can be in top shape all year round then it can be done- end of story. Aye it is to an extent, to contradict what I'm about to say, 1 remotely positive point so far this year seems to be that the guys are training more and off the ice it seems in general a more professional outfit as far as fitness goes, I said in the off season that I think that's why most guys weren't asked back, but it's been happening in Fife for years more than other pro clubs and someone in the club needs to be held more accountable, but I do think we've maybe moved past that. Just need to stop recruiting really badly, find a good coach, better systems and win a few games now....
