Stefan that forum tag is quite disturbing.
 
However I am prohibited by the Moderators' Code from removing or changing it.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Anybody have any idea who the man on the far right of the crowd picture is?
He talked through the whole game about his past football playing days and criticised the nix.
for those who were there.. he was the one cheering for the other team.

Costa played well, he always beats his man and he tried his shot on a few occasions. Draper was fantastic. He made a lot of runs, created space and looked dangerous. he even got on the scoresheet. I really would love to see these youngsters in action on sunday. Even only for 10/15'.
I think they deserve it.
 
I agree. It's gotta happen. And sooner rather than later.
 
Some game time for Draper and Costa can only be positive. See if they've got the temperament for the (local) big time. There are younger players doing well in other world leagues.
 
[And have just spotted zinidane's post earlier in this thread... He said:]
Costa was a revelation...up until he came on things were quiet....he immediately was beating players and getting dangerous crosses into the box. Set up a couple of goals and scored himself I think. Still can't understand how he doesn't get a run....even off the bench.
 
Bottom line: Could these youngsters really be worse than our current striker options which are woeful by A-League standards (apart from Smeltz)?

The post of moderator is a highly respected and challenging assingment, therefore a certain code must be adhered to:

1. ALWAYS talk about Yellow Fever.
2. Drink.
3. Drink some more.
4. More than that.
5. The work of other moderators is sacrosanct.
6. Now skull a slab of your chosen beer.

Mods Code is more like this:
 
1. Admit nothing.
2. Be bitter.
3. Blame everyone.
 
Although I'll grant you 2 and 3 and 4 of your list do come into it.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

To be honest, I think my Lia vs El**ch work was better. Pity it never got to be used on the front page.

Actually it was probably sheer luck that after eating it, that he didn't decide to eat the film or the picture of it because of his sanity. (In fact you could almost say that about the camera and the computer as well.)AllWhitebelievr2008-10-17 22:04:57

[/QUOTE]

So Costa is the lowest ranked player in the club now (besides Vince Lia)? Not Draper?

How was Mully on the LB? Did Daniel do well up front?[/QUOTE]

I know I am a bit late on the response here but Costa needs some game time some where - what options does this lad have? He seems to have disappeared off the radar, surely he would be better served smashing his stuff in the NZFC for now? chareimos2008-10-24 16:55:05

While I think you're right about his lack of game time, he's an outstanding player to have in the squad.  He has a yard or two of pace on a lot of the first team guys, and is never afraid to take them on.  He was (as others have already said) fantastic in the game against HBU, surely he can't be far away from the subs bench?

What words ?

The ones where I said I'm a huge fan and hope he makes it ?

or perhaps when I said he impressed when he had the ball ?
