Does this mean we get an extra match with him in the new year?

No,

The reason he finishes when he does is because guest players are not allowed in the last four rounds of the season.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Good point
Though they haven't won a point on the road and I don't think anyone thinks we are going to play like last week.wellyphoenixfan2008-12-10 13:47:27

Condolences to him and his family. I am gutted that he will miss the game against Perth but family is much more important than sport.

Hmmm, what resourceful soul can organise a few rolls of black masking tape so the Fever can wear black armbands.

It's a shame for the lad and his family, must have been hard to be this far from home when he found out.

No one expected us to play like that last weekend.
 
I expect he will miss several games, may not even come back at all

Tony P said they would understand if Fred stayed in Brazil to be with his family. Chances are if he misses two games it would hardly be worth flying him back for one game. You have to feel sorry for Fred...its also rotten luck for the Phoenix. Does Daniel get his spot...or will they give to Hearfield?

Actually, the Nix wear black shirts at home. How will that work? Maybe they'll wear the away strip this week.

When one of our own died last year after the Beckham match, they did black armbands on black uniforms. Couldn't really tell much difference.

I'll be making sure to wear yellow so any armbands we wear show up in the zone.

Hugest warmth and condolences to Fred and his family - the poor man losing his father when he is so far away.

It was me who provided the rolls of gaffa tape for our armbands at the match vs Perth Glory on Fri 7th Dec last year when we paid tribute to the Nix fan who fell to his death from the dodgy council path on his way home from the Galaxy game.

I will have 2-3 rolls of black gaffa tape again at the Bencher for anyone wanting to put a strip around their arm to show our support for Fred.

Is it possible to have more then 1 guest player a season because he would be awesome and probably better.
