Marco Rossi

Why?

If he wanted a change, he wanted a change.

He did nothing wrong in the match fixing scandal, I wouldn't report match fixing there either, because I like having my head still attached. We don't really what the mafia can be like, but he clearly wasn't in the mood to find out. Who would be?

The club has a history of priding itself on good characters (see; Sigmund, Benjamin, etc.) and Ernie's wouldn't sign him if he wasn't a sure thing to be a good character. He's said he's gonna make an effort to learn English asap, so he seems alright.

he looks an excellent signing TBH well done Nux

Has anyone seen anything on TV One or TV 3 Sports over this signing? I must have missed the unveiling so to speak. All this talk about alleged events from the past are equal to the wonderful publicity about an event in Brazil right now. The robberies and crimes committed are making more headlines than the small yet bankruptingly expensive sports event.

for all the talk about his fine for match fixing, those old enough (not you Patrick) should remember that the top goalscorer and star of the 1982 world cup and Marco's namesake, Paolo Rossi, had been banned for 3 years before the 82 world cup finals for match fixing.

Match fixing in Italian football is not new, they gave up deciding promotion \ relegation on goal difference along time ago and have play- offs for teams that are equal on points because of it.

looking at his playing record he seems more like a Rory Fallon, IE extremely promising when he was young but not quite going on as he should have - In Italy a problem, but in the A-League ideal!

Has the transfer fax come through yet - so we can forget the past facts.

Patrick wouldn't know not due to age, no... Rather, a hilarious and unbelievable ineptitude to know anything about Italian football.

Spotted Marco and a couple of the nix crew just now unloading travel bags in Tory St and heading into Century City apartments. He must have just arrived in Welly. Gorgeous day for it and will have made a good first impression - unlike the horrendous last week or so. Hopefully a good omen.

At least I knew who Maldini was.

Good, don't want to set the bar too high.

"Marco Rossi: Serie A answer to Rory Fallon".    I like the sound of that.

Rossi,Rossi,Rossi

He seems like a good bet. What?

What are the odds we have signed a decent CB. God, I hope he doesn't turn out like Cleberson.

Was the press conference in Welly though? All I know is that I saw them getting out of a car at Century City with big travel bags (two big ones each - Marco and another guy - along with a driver) - it sure looked like just off a plane. Could have been shifting accommodation within Welly I suppose - but it looked like plane baggage to me. Marco is tall!

It was at newtown park

Probably moving out of a Hotel into more permanant accommodation.......

Or the greatest conspiracy since the bogus moon landing.

I heard he can crack walnuts with his arse cheeks!

Who said man landed on the moon? It was on a sound stage

But can he crack Tim Codhill'$ skull with his arse cheeks? Because I would respect that! 

A sound stage landed on the moon?!? WOAH if true.

Are you telling me passive-aggressively not to steal your joke, or are you typing that with the fun police staring over your shoulder making sure everything you type is PC?

Erm... Sorry?

I heard it was Rossi who actually let the dogs out!

As an Australian I will have none of this! ?

I heard Rossi was in the Italian version of Friends called "Amici" in which he played an Italian American called Joey 

The excellent "found footage" film called "Operation Avalanche" at the NZIFF was real little gem - highly recommended if it comes out.

Wake up sheeple! This is the real conspiracy. The government is controlling sound!

I found a tin foil hat on the net, seems a bargain at $10,000 USD.

You can't trust where it's been!

... safer to make your own tin foil hat and will cost less than $5 ...

I heard Marco Rossi is responsible for faking the Luna Landing! 

I Heard that Marco Rossi is actually Junior82 hence why he has been so quiet around here of late

I heard that Marco Rossi once tried to tackle Chuck Norris in a pick-up game. The resulting cataclysm blew them both into alternate universes, where Marco Rossi is a karate movie star and Chuck Norris is in the Phoenix back 4.

So now he's here he'll start posting again?

Right?
