The Labinot Haliti Thread

[parksey]

how good is it that Labi is back?

it's only just struck me and i am overjoyed

i'd probably say he sits in the rung just below the greats ronaldo, messi, neymar etc.

post your thoughts about labi in this thread

[furns]

Best. Chest. Ever.

[q-money]

absolutely love the bloke, remember giving it a huge ko-so-vo one night after he scored in bay 2, throws the huge fist pumps

[slobsy]

love the kosovo kid

[Hunter403]

Should we run a pool on how many yellows he gets for removing his shirt? I say 6

[plague]

there was one game i think vs Victory when they scored and all looked bleak and pretty much we ran the length of the park from the kickoff and Labi scored with a beautiful angled volley that no other retard in our team could even think of making but it probably wasn't vs Victory and prob wasn't Labi but anything good that happens to our team i just assume he's done it because he is the best.

[plague]

5 star thread by the way Parksey

i took my shirt off whilst typing these posts.

It's funny how someone like Labi seems to resonate with many Jets supporters. Probably because he is a battler, from his origins as a refugee fleeing his homeland and battling to make a career out of playing football, to his whole style as a footballer, not the most naturally gifted footballer or blessed with speed but there is something about him that we love when he takes the field that you know he will give 100% for the team, for the club till he has run out of legs. You know he will have a go and if the opportunity arises for him to have a crack at goal he will oblige and not die wondering.

its not 'funny' at all.
and its probably got nowt to do with the condescending dribble you just typed.

don't be that guy.

[GazFish35]

Labi is the only one in this current crop who doesn't have to prove he gets it.

The rest have to show something.


Labi is home!

[Jeterpool]

That'd be a stretch - he only took his shirt off 5 times while playing for the Jets. No idea how many times for the Wanderers.

Upon reflection, we should all be ashamed at how long it took for this thread to get started.

Saw a few the Jets fellas out having a beer on Saturday night. Labi was keen to have a chat and a bit of banter some of the others didn't seem impressed though.

[BodyNovo]

credit the man he is that after running his ****ing ass off against glory that he stepped up to take the first pen.

he gets it

[Outoftowner]

He played for a few different clubs, but i feel Newcastle is home as the best moments in his career happened right here in newy with Jets.
My favourite is the HAL season 1 GOAL OF THE YEAR ������ and the celebration :popcorn:

That chest!

He has certainly scored some decent goals for us

[lil_masi]

Im thinking Labi will unfortunately be ruled out for the season

[borat]

Not the worst suggestion out there to try and sign Ryan Griffiths as an injury replacement

[borat]

Or an opening for Alex Smith

[plague]

Anyone who hated on Labi coming back is directly responsible for his injury and I ****ing hate all of you.

Jets fans deserve to get saddled with that shitkhunt Ryan Griffiths now.

So happy I hate this club so much.

[evolution]

ftfy

[Grimario]

Ffs

[GazFish35]

can we all go to his bedside after surgery shirtless?

[RAM]

Poor Lab, no good.

Need a replacement for sure, we're very thin without him...

[Liam26]

*Closes Thread* :( I was looking forward to his return

[Jeterpool]

It's all but nailed on Labi will make his 100th appearance for the club. He will be the 7th player to break that barrier for the club. A rare good story in the last month or so of football. The top 10 Jets A-League appearances are:

Ben Kantarovski 139
Tarek Elrich 134
Matt Thompson 121
Ben Kennedy 114
Jobe Wheelhouse 106
Adam D'Apuzzo 102
Labinot Haliti 99
Ruben Zadkovich 97
Joel Griffiths 83
Nikolai Topor-Stanley 81


What's your greatest Labi memory?

[belchardo]

all the yellow cards for getting "the chest" out. pretty sure my wife only watched for those moments.

[evolution]

What's your greatest Labi memory?

Back when the Squadron were in Bay 2 I remember him scoring, removing the shirt, putting it on the corner flag and waiving it about. Yellow card followed of course. Great scenes.

[ForeverRed]

100 games, not many good ones

[Wilso8948]

Me and the boys yelling at Labs to come to Fannys after the game. Labi smiled and gave us a big "i'll be there" thumbs up.

He most certainly came.

If you included Griffo's NSL appearances for the club it takes him to 128 appearances.

[halo se7en]

That long range effort against the Knights.

[WolfMan]

Also, he met you at Fannys....

[MFKS]

Labi the only bloke who you had to count up his goals to know where he was at in relation to suspension for card accumulation

And he didn't give a **** about it either

He got stuck where he scored a 5 minute double in a match against the NZ Knights and was already on a booking...

[Jetmaster]

I remember whe he came back from overseas for his second stint. Came on against Victory down there and scored almost immediately I think.

[The Dunster]

This. It was a great night.

I was the one who came that night.

[Jeterpool]

He did. Roudn 5 v Victory in season 09/10, came on with 26 minutes left and scored with 3 minutes left to salvage a draw.

[plague]

Jets don't deserve him.

Fly free Labi.

Bless you.


**** this club.
