Some top bloke from New Caledonia delivers
The Championship Chronicles - The Jetstream's review of the 2007/08 season. www.newcastlefootball.net/chronicles
Heard a good interview with Biraz this morning he discussed what happened.
Handled himself well and was very fair in his assessment of what happened.
Much respect to the bloke for that.
Poster idea for when Birraz returns - "You Can't Handle the Tooth"
ground announcer could announce smeltz as shane "the dentist's friend" smeltz

smeltz confirms he's a dog.
99 times out of 100 the striker sees whats about to happen and changes his run, doesn't swing a foot, or jumps, to avoid the collision and protect the keeper you ****.How many times do you see and how many times have strikers and goalkeepers collided? Nine times out of 10, it's just a collision where the striker falls over the goalkeeper and nothing happens. It's part of the game, sometimes these things happen and nobody goes into games with the intention to cause harm," he said.
clearly you're demented. you need to change the way to react when you've clearly been beaten to the ball.Smeltz struggled to focus on the remainder of the match after the incident as Birighitti's wellbeing was all that occupied his thoughts but says the freak incident won't stop him from challenging a goalkeeper for the ball in games.
"I've thought about that, I don't think it will. I've always been the same player and I don't need to change it in any way," Smeltz said.
no-one is saying don't go for thiose challenges, just know when tp pull out - in this case you had plenty of time to avoid kicking the blokes teeth in
oh, that's right, your victim here! FFS you play next week, he doesn't."I've been on the end of this and as painful and unfortunate as it is, it's harder to be on this side because I caused it," he said.
you eat steak last night, he has smoothies for a month.
if you really feel bad, sit out for as long as hes out.
"With all due respect to Shane, it is of my opinion that due to his irresponsible and reckless challenge Mark Birighitti is in hospital. His main concern should be the welfare of Mark Birighitti and his future rather than his perception of how he's been portrayed," Bosnich said.
well said bozza.
if smeltz deonst want to be pportrayed as reckless **** who plays dangerously he should stop being a reckless ****er who plays dangerously.
so does anybody know when the MRP decisions come out?
it has to be not included in the referees report first.
article I read on fox sports said that was to be handed in yesterday.
To be fair, this is our fault. If the club had signed him before he went to Perth, he would only be able to kick our GK's in training
My sentiments exactly, it would be fair if the MRP gave him the same time out of the game as Birra. If he got the same time out as Neil Young, he'd be banned for life. I don't think the MRP will be that kind to the game though. If Smeltz doesn't change his style of play there will be further incidents like this.
From my understanding, all the ref has to say is that he didn't see any contact between them, which would be backed up by him restarting play with a drop ball.
I can't see how if he saw the contact, he didn't award a free kick, even if he thought it was accidental.
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
Smeltz has been cleared. No case to answer. Joke!!
Disgrace
Ref saw it and to appropriate action... Which was aparrently to let play continue and restart later with a drop ball.
