I don't know where to post this - but check out the two goals we conceded in 2007


Elrich scores a ripper but honestly in between some of the worst defending ever seen in professional football

There is a reason why O'Dor doesn't play football anymore.

Wow that's some real bottom draw stuff. Did they refund tickets for that game?

Fuck this stupid game

I looked that game up because I remembered the Elrich goal being some kind of a screamer - but it really wasn't as good as I'd remembered - and I got those little gems.

wasnt that the game when the bottle was thrown? I might be wrong... but i thought it was aimed at petrovski after he scored a late winner

No refund, otherwise the whole season would have been free.
Just watched some more vid's of that season.......shakes head, shoulders drop, at least we had a team

I remember at the end of the game we were really pushing for the winner before Christie's meltdown.  At the final whistle I was standing there all gutted and Ballane came over to me and said "I am so jealous, you will be in Sydney to see our first ever win" (JD, Feverish and I were going over for that game).  Prophetic.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

It was a pretty decent goal... wasn't it a finalist for goal of the season?
How many games that season did we give away games with comedy late goals? It really was painful to watch, but I still have fond memories of that first season.

Your memory has failed you Jonesy - this game was after the Sydney win.  That loss was against the Jets.

Anyway I'm going to post this to remind us it wasn't all bad that year.  probably the most fun I've had at a football match

Think I was the most gutted against CCM ( I believe? ) when it looked like we were going to snatch a win and the Christie/O'Dor/Old Benny Hill triumvirate screwed it up. Shows how good we've got it now with Dura and Siggy.

Even last season, as horrible as it was, wasn't as crushingly bad as some of the defending in that first season.

Meh - memory is over-rated. Is that you going mental after the Fillipe goal JD?
