I think we should burn an effigy at every home game, but of someone relevant to the opposition. Here is my list of who it should be for every game:

Melbourne - Harold Bishop

Adelaide - that stupid bitch off the adverts on the tele (if we cannot be bothered to build an effigy that week, we could just burn her)

Cold Coast - Kelly Slater

Sydney - the entire cast CSI

Queensland - Wally Lewis

Newcastle - Alan Shearer

Perth - Michael Hussey

Any other ideas?

Effigy?

Permalink

I agree with them all but Micheal Hussey, please don't burn Mr. Cricket. :(

Maybe burn Adam Gilchrist Effigy?

An effigy is a representation of a person.

Agreed, there really isn't enough effigy burning in New Zealand these days...but not Lara Bingle!! Anyone but her, she really doesn't deserve our attention.

Burn Ricky Ponting if your gonna burn any cricketer.

Oh, and he didn't mean Lara Bingle. He meant that other bitch from all the Adelaide ads that are always on, the real f**king annoying ones.

Three for me, and two for them.

I hate that Adelaide Ad lady. No one cares if Adelaide has 10 beaches Australia is full of beaches. What about burning those aweful commentators NZK got when they went to Australia. The Knights would be outplaying there oppostion (a rare sight in itself) and they would continue to talk about a domination of the opposition on the knights. I never had a whole lot of time for De Jong but atleast he isn't ridiculassly bias to the NZK's like the Aussies pair we had to hear.

Why don't we burn some Aussie flags instead?

This may be upsetting for any Ozzies we have in out line up.

Dont we have to many Politicians in Wellington. We could set fire to a real one each game.

I second that motion. It would take 3 games to burn all of Rodney Hide.

I think we should burn effigies of the following Australian national heroes:

Retired swimmer and junkie Ian Thorpe
Skippy the Kangaroo
Rolf Harris
The dingo what stole that baby
Rolf Harris
Jason Donovan
Rolf Harris
Kylie Minogue (ouch!, too soon?, poor little Kylie)
Steve Irwin (double ouch! literally!)

Half of those have already been cremated and if you had Kylie in one hand and a match in the other would you be able to tell the difference?

Just to be clear Ian Thorpe is allegedly a junkie.

We could also burn an effigy of dear, sweet, misunderstood Schapelle but the Aussies would probably like that.

We had a couple chants about Schapelle at the Knights.

An Adelaide fan suggested to me that instead of the guilty line we should have left the... 'blame it on the boogie' but added a 'board' on the end.

Don't blame it on the Sunshine
Don't blame it on the Airline
Don't blame it on the Bali 9
Blame it on the boogie (board).

I actually think we should get some effigy burning practice in before the season starts. Burn one at a Wellington Olympic game (Nana Miskouri), a Lower Hutt game (Axl Rose), a Stop Out game (Cardigan Bay) and a Palmerston North Marist game (a vet student)

If it was a really authentic effigy (if you get what I mean) that would be one game worth going to (and sitting downwind from said effigy). Actually the game might end up being that great, but I'm sure no one would care!

Burning an effigy of Steve Irwin would just be sad. He was the man and his family don't want to see that even if it is only a joke.

With a Phoenix as a mascot, wouldn't it be more appropriate to burn effigies of people who've come back from the dead - Jesus, Pauline Hanson, Neo from the Matrix?

All,

Welcome to the A-League Wellington, let's hope that we don't have a repeat of that team from the top end of the north island!!!

Now, onto this topic:

1. The FFA and probably the Stadium Trust where you guys will play would probably not appreciate this going on, makes good TV news business, if you get what I mean ...

2. If you're going to burn Oz images, do it outside the pub (there's a good idea, you lot should nominate a supporters pub to go to before/after matches to discuss the team and meet and greet and so on). That way it's away from the stadium, and less likely to caise any trouble with opposition supporters and so on

3. We don't burn NZ effergies over here in Oz, (in Melbourne we don't anyway) so there's no real need to burn effergies of Ausrtalians I feel.

This is modern day Australiasia, so I don't see the need to give the media (either here in Oz, ot there in NZ) any reason to bag the game.

We're having enough trouble here in Oz trying to get the media on side, you lot possible burning efferiges of Oz people wouldn't do the cause any good at all.

Just some comments to help you guys out!!!

Thank you, an once again good luck with the new team ...

Diego's Son ... :) :) :)

Instead of the whole flare buisness, how about burning an effigy of a Phoenix as a mark of respect whenever you score a goal?

There's nothing like a good effigy burning to bring out the sensitivities in some people!

I think effigy burning is way under-rated. They've got it sussed in India and Pakistan and it's about time someone else embraced it.

I'd be near the front of the queue to put a match to Bindi too...

Frikin heck, its a pity you can't buy the fire crackers to go inside the effigy.

When did they ban that?

I arrive back in NZ and there's no bang for your buck.

But, when I said where's the crackers and skyrockets to the bloke at the dairy down the road, he took out a box from under the counter. Now that's another story.....

"How the f**k is that a mark of respect? "

Because Phoenixes (what is the plural of Phoenix?) like fire and flames and smoke and ashes, its part of their nature. So an effigy of a Phoenix would enjoy being set on fire.

Phoenixei ('x' is silent)

Try and use it in a different sentence every day ...

"One Phoenix in the hand is worth two Phoenixei in the bush"
