Not only Shane Smeltz had the flu

Not only Shane Smeltz had the flu

        I want to quote from a news story on the

Wellington Phoenix website dated Sunday 31 August

relating to the match against Adelaide United, entitled

        Break could prove the tonic.

        "Vaughan Coveny was rushed across the Tasman
to replace an under-the-weather Shane Smeltz on the eve
of the match but Herbert refused to put his side's poor
showing down to the late loss of his star striker,or
the fact that up to five more of his players were laid
low with the flu in Adelaide"

            

       

       

That fact has been common knowledge around here since saturday night, thanks anyway!

I didn't know that, mind you I have been avoiding out Nix threads to avoid most of the ramifications from some fans towards the results. Flu and they played 90 minutes.

I have to say, I can barely play with a Blocked nose. So can't blame them.

I can barely play.

Ditto, that's why I'm thinking about becoming a refferee. Can't be worse than the blokes the FFA put out every week.

are you blind as well though?

No, that's where they might reject me.

Poor Smeltzy
Hope he's better
