No, Moss>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Vukovic.


You might want to be much clearer about that statement as Hard News did mention two attributes not one for your reply.

Dilemma:
Game starts at five o'clock (right?), so there's a nice place on my couch with my name on it.
Unfortunately, my brother, with whom I always watch matches, finishes work at five also.

Do I go and pick him up, meaning we both miss the first 10-15 mins, or do i let him walk, so I see the whole game but he misses the first half...?

It's a tough call

To be fair, you just tape the game till he gets there, don't watch!

A 3-0 Nix win is paying $40 at TAB.

With the jets winning last night the top 5 have jumped ahead....we need at least a point to keep in touch with 5th. it goes without saying but those 3 points we should have nailed against Perth are really costing us.

If Perth win today and if you lose to the Mariners ........anyone travelling should go to the Kendal bar at the Central Coast Leagues Club ....... actually anywhere in the club butthe Kendal bar is a football bar.

Yeah, you're right.  A 6-0 win is what we need, not a feeble 3-0 one

be interesting to see  who out of (presumably) dodd or Mckain fills the other centre mid position alongside Timmo, i expect Ricki will stick with  dodd in midfield - but wouldn't mind being proved wrong

x 2

though I don't know that McKain would be up to speed straight away. Dodd and Siggie were good at home against Sydney. Siggie will be on the right again won't he?

well we will see shortly!

Why is Dodd playing midfield???

over 17 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
If Dodd is playing midfield the TV WILL end up with a hole through the middle of it.

It may be Mckain yet. So spare your TV

I guess we'll just have to see what mood 'the Rafa of the South Seas' is in come kick-off

If he puts Siggie in the middle I'll have a heart attack too, at NZFC level in CM yes, but not Aleague. Somewhere in defence.
