AW v Slovenia Match Thread Sat 06:30 SS3

It's a week early, thumbing through sky watch magazine saw it on and thought I'd let all you good folk know our good mates Sky TV are showing it

NB unless you already know George Costanza2010-05-28 16:05:44

WTF is FrendiFlirt?

Have yourself an ARF! for that Smithy.

Just googled Chatroulette.

Weird.

Chatroulette rules.

If you like watching Man masturbate.

^This

Well, not sure if this needs a new thread...

but I wanta know- will we see Mulligan, Barron or Clapham against Slovenia?

I don't know if this should go somewhere else, but I might be in Auckland this weekend, at my parents' who don't have Sky. Anywhere in Auckland good to watch the game that will be showing it?

Damn I can't wait! My expectations everytime the All Whites play have definitely increased - from I hope we don't get smashed to we should win this one!

Fox's ale house maybe? Everton FC2010-05-30 13:34:41

We should definitely rest a few players - namely Elliott and maybe even Nelsen and Rory

I think Ricki might want to retain a high level of consistency, by keeping those 3 core players in the side the other players will learn more about how and when to make runs off them

Nelsen is also essential to keep lifting the levels of discipline and awareness in his less experienced team mates

bring the fringe players on with 20 or so to go - even this might depend if we are in a position to do so

Ricki has a tricky job of balancing results/confidence against giving Clapham etc an experience of the intensity of football at this level

in Sir Ricki we trust !!

They're going to have to deal with shorter periods between games at the World Cup, need to have them used to it. I'd stick with the same starting XI, except with Killen in and possibly Barron/Vicelich in for Christie and Lochhead (Tommy Smith to left wing back). Only two more games to gel as much as possible before Slovakia in 16 days.

changing keeper? both in the aussie game and the serbia game we have had a different keeper to attack in every half!!!

Bring on the ranga!!!!!

Fox ale house in the viaduct is the place to be

                      Paston
        Sigmund      Nelsen     Reid
Bertos                                 Smith
             Elliot        McGlinchey   
                    Smeltz
           Fallon           Killen

Is McGlinchey fit?? If not then Barron, Clapham, Mulligan, Christie maybe Peverley in CM with Elliot.
                   

Vicelich > Sigmund, sorry Seamonster, and I don't think McGlinchey can do that holding role as well as Christie or Barron.

I would have Bertos Vicelich/Reid Nelsen Smith Lochhead across the back.

Why would you drop the only left back we have for a centre back? Smith was great at the back v Serbia but looked completely lost whe he came on for Lochy v Australia.

tell you what. this time I will take no chances and will watch it live, screw sky tv!

Is it a 6:30 a.m. kick off on Saturday morning this one?

You, sir, are a legend.

Is it too late to pretend it was a joke?

Paul Radisich?

How, exactly, is that relevant?

Might be walking a fine line there Addicks.

Oh, you know.  They're all over there somewhere, together . you know.  in Europe.

Last I heard he was Serbian, but yes, not something to joke about, fair enough.  After you spend enough time studying such people and events that can be the instinctive reaction I'm afraid...

So how is that related to Ivan Vicelich, who is Croatian?

And also considering that Slovenians, or any other teams we'll be playing, have anything to do with that?


And FYI - Karadzic is a Montenegrin-born Bosnian Serb. He's not Serbian.
