I'm sure he'll get a very warm welcome

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Oh I pray to the football gods, that he gets sent off.
Would we go for the light hearted 'Cheerio!', the not so light hearted 'Who are ya?', or perhaps something more direct when he walks down the tunnel after getting sent?

I wonder if there will be a more hated man that ever plays on Westpac on a match day than Jeronimo. Granted Joel Griffiths got a hell of a greeting but I would think that might have simmered.

I remember that fullback (Korean dude?) who played for the Roar getting serious abuse when he came to Wellington. Can't even remember why now. Old age, it's a curse.

I think you are thinking of Sayed Mohammed Adnan of Bahrain. He took the horrible pen against the AWs, so we cheered and clapped him every time he got the ball.

Nope. Wasn't the Bahraini fella. We definitely weren't cheering him. Some muppet even suggested that the abuse he got was racially motivated. Stemmed from an incident in an earlier game against them.

There was also a little Chilean chap who played for the Tards a couple of seasons ago.  We booed him a lot whenever he touched the ball.  Forget why.  Skillful little bu*gger but.

Yeah I remember that. He kicked out a player or took a dive in the earlier game in Brisbane.

Got Ross Aloisi sent off perhaps by milking minor contact? That sound familiar-ish?

Yeah, that's him. Can't remember what happened that sparked the abuse. I'm sure somebody will!

If 26-year-old Argentinian men are your thing, you should probably go for Messi instead.

Was playing around with The Football Sack's  predictor. In the last 10 matches Adelaide has 10 points, we have 8.

Any ways, ref for the game is Tim McGilchrist in his 2nd A-League match. The first being Roars 2-1 win over us in Rnd 14.
