Saw this on NBN last night and after a 5 minute report had no idea Griff took part until I saw this on FB this morning.

NBN interviewed their weatherman who looked a right twit, a local actress, some pair called Carly and Tranny and of course a "Knights Legend".
No fuss Griff probably did it with ease and donated his own cash as well.
Griff didn't need a rope. Bloke is super humanQuote:

City's facilities play a big part but Biraz loved his time in Newy and we know he is a good keeper. At the very least I want to know the club made him a good and fair offerQuote:

I still think the club is a genuine top six side though.
Pato isn't a big loss and We learned how do play without Roy last year. Nabbout is the problem. We need to replace his quality and work ethic upfront some howQuote:

Fact is defensively we are similar to last year except keeper.
Attacking we have Dimi, Roddy, Joey, Roy, Hoff and one more quality inclusion, possibly another decent one on top of that. We are looking genuinely strong, particularly if that one player of quality performs like some of Ernie’s (and Griffs) other signings.
Ernie is also really talking up Roddy, I am thinking a full season for him and he may push JW medal status!
Holding on to Dimi is important though, my optimism could drop if he leaves for overseas.
lowy (reportedly) gone!
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...ven-lowy-quits
this line is a pearler: "In an interview with The Australian Lowy cited “the politics in football” as behind his decision to leave"
the man obviously has a clearly developed sense of irony.
About ****ing timeQuote:

Hardly a "I'm leaving" speech, more like a "I'll go if you don't side with me and I'll take the board with me, and you made a terrible decision if you do this".
Cya later you piece of sh*t. Won't be missed, at all.
You've got to be a certain kind of shady when people think FIFA can do a better job that you.
But what about the joy the Lowys have brought us...

Milligan had a rough time at Sydney FC but I don't think that sort of behaviour can be justified.Quote:

Say what you will but Franks legacy should not be forgotten.
Gallop should be two feet behind him when Lowy leaves the building.
What legacy??Quote:

This is everything Frank worked to get away from if you truly believe in this comment then you belong in a time that Frank was trying to get away fromQuote:

His NCIP is a joke and it would be interesting to see the reaction if something like that was suggested by Pauline Hanson to be brought into the wider community
Here is a good one for you this week the FFACup is on and the media will "sell it" on Cevapi and Souvlaki and all that ethnic food
How dare though one of those clubs have a flag or reference to the origins of the club or where tgat food came drom
Hypocrisy
Wrong. The termed "wogball game" was totally broken. Lowy made massive improvements but still needs more work.Quote:

I'm rediscovering how petty and self-interested so many people in football are. I don't trust the associations. I don't trust the old clubs; too many are appallingly managed for the benefit of few. I don't trust the FFA either :(
yep. thats it right there.Quote:

just on this, has anyone ever explained why A-League clubs cant transfer players between them?Quote:

Also, from a strictly PR point of view having a player leave and club then head back and play them is a promoters dream. Geez, the only thing the Gypos got excited about (outside of dole day) was when Roy came back and shit all over them.
the more blokes like Roy that rub salt into that pathetic club can only be a good thing for the league overall yeah?
and even though that whole 'rich getting richer' debate will be raised, i mean, we do already have a salary cap, AND Citeh have already got a workaround to the issue, so why not let everyone go nuts?
This is an issue Bozza and the Fox crew have been pushing the last two years. And for the very reasons you suggest.
That said KB selling Kenny Boden for $100k just about killed the club....the cash didn't cover the 5000 less fans that went to games.
Different times though.
transfers between a-league clubs is in now isn't it? didn't (surprise, surprise) sydney take advantage of it 1 day later?Quote:

After a lengthy absence from the 1st team (bar a few select appearances when tickets kept getting put in my letterbox) Plague will be back as a full time - non plastic - supporter.
I'd like to thank the Jets for their generous offer and wish them all the best for the coming season.
For the many many away fans that want to see my in the flesh, I'll also be attending a Citeh away day and maybe even lower myself to spending a few hours in Gosford (in order to show Plague Jnr what happens if you fail at school).
See you at the games, fellow supporters.
Cheers,
Plague.
Genius, Jets dont do 2 good years in a row. Season Blow-ins will be dissapoint :lulzturtle: :lulzturtle:Quote:
