Now quick boys, get out of that cesspit before you catch something.
good effort there. happy with a point. some better finishing and we could have won that game.
clean sheet number 3!
"a game of two halves" dropped in the post match interview
nice
The things I do for these kuntz. I think I should be nominated for fan of the yearQuote:

Deans out
Conspiracy. They stopped Gary talking about Arnold.
****ing terrible refereeing tonight. Moroners only gave away 3 free kicks the entire night! How does Sterjovski get away with the drive and avoid ANY punishment for grabbing Brown's face? What the ****!
Whats the go with the post match interview with GVE. Did someone call someone a cheat?
Could have done with a decent number 10 tonight. Heskey was making some terrific runs and space for himself.
So the Gypos get another star for that yeah?
thinking about this game, i can't think of anybody that stood out a mile. everybody put in, everybody worked hard, everybody talked, moved, marked, defended.
good team effort. good to see.
Think they mentioned he lodged a complaint with the fourth official about the bench communicating with Arnie up in the stands. Assuming it was something to do with that.Quote:

Good to see that our defence is not leaking those silly goals at the back anymore. The problem now is that the goals have dried out up front. Brown and Goodwin early in the 2nd both went for glory when a simple cut-back pass was required....cost us 3 points on the end.
Ummm because Del Piero is a number 10 (he who provideth) and Heskey is a finisher (for further info please watch about the last decade of English fuutball).Quote:

But then you hit me with three of those exclamation thingys so I'm backing off.
Cheers.
Thought griff made better runs than heskey after heskey got subbed, a number of times heskey was flat footed when he needed to be alert and he would of had some more chances. Not picking on heskey but we seem to move the ball quicker when he's not there. I think those two chances from Goodwin and brown from the acute angle should of found either heskey and griff and I wouldn't be writing this post.Quote:

chapman was unreal tonight. as unreal as sainsbury was, and has been all year, for them.
brillante is slowly turning into the new stu, and I like it
there were a few moments tonight where I wish jobe was out there - especially for a few switches.
Heskey is great. keeps things simple, keeps possession & doesn't shirk his defensive responsibilities. anyone who doesn't think he's the perfect target man for any team, especially us, in this league has nfi
Yeah I'm hearing ya.Quote:

Could always be worse though.
When Heskey went off, we found it much harder to get through their central defenders as Zwaansvijk didn't have his hands full and was able to run off his man, if marking anyone at all. Heskey when he was on provided a heap more space for others, including allowing Goodwin and Brown those 2 chances. However, he was off the pace a bit when it came to taking up positions in the box, letting Sainsbury get in front of him at the near post a few times.Quote:

but yes as stated simple cut back would have resulted in atleast 2 goals.
birraz was outstanding again, starting to feel more comfortable with him in goals at corner now
sick night, we got a point atleast!
Heskey had 2 good heading chances (difficult but still chances) and fluffed them both. The point I'm making is that it seems that unless it is put on a platter for him he's not going to put it away. ADP makes things happen from nothing, both are getting paid the big bucks to provide that difference. After a good start to the season, the question needs to be asked...are we getting our moneys worth from Heskey?Quote:

Graham Arnold should face heavy penalties for ignoring his ban last night and communicating with the gypo bench.. blatant disrespect for the authorities.
sif the ffa will stop giving charity to the gypsQuote:

Gallaway looked a little off his game as mentioned, but it didn't cost us the game so it isn't a big deal. Everybody has a bad day now and again.
Neville was good without being great, and Chapman - well the best thing you can say about his performance last night is he didn't stand out. That's a compliment, as he just did his job and didn't screw up. At all.
Fantastic performance by the back 5 all around IMHO.
i thought so at the time, but watching the replays and with a little reflection, i think it was ok for goodwin to go for goal. heskey had a defender between him and goodwin, a defender closing down from behind and the pass would have had to be miraculous and the defender blind to slide it through. possibly could have passed it earlier, but not sure it would have got there then either.Quote:
