Na it's really no problem at all. We have a heap of depth in the striking department. The young-ins will step up and be the new Marco's blah blah blah.

Probably not ideal actually.

not ideal - but maybe a blessing in disguise if it puts pressure to sign a new striker

Hopefully the "rocket up the ass" David Dome required.
While I'm here that press release the other day sucked. Hardly fighting words "we haven't given up" , "if one comes along" ect.
I don't think missing Ifill would be as bad as previous seasons. I think the mid-field can compensate better for the lack of Ifill with better distribution and game controllers in it. Muscat Smith and Sanchez I think will create more with even without Ifills ability to drag players out of position ect. That said the team looks way better with Ifill in it, bring him back asap, he must be here for Del Piero/Sydney. Make it happen.

Come clean mate who went through him, was it Dicey? 

Can't have been you, he'd have come out on the right side of that challenge. 

Fuck this stupid game

Was a pretty nothing challenge actually, both went for the 50-50 and ifill came out worse of. Just a good solid tackle, nothing malicious at all. Not gona name player but wasnt dicey (he got a meaty clash to the head later on though, lots of blood). 


Pfft can assume it wasnt me, i dont bother tackling. 


On other news from the game, muscat and smith look quality in the middle and luke rowe is silly quick.

6 weeks isn't so bad, if it includes the 3 weeks left before the season kicks off. The bigger issue is that he will likely end up playing before it is fully healed and end up carry the injury throughout the season again. I would rather he miss the first month of games, to get fully fit for the other 23+ games.

Funny how people legit assume it was from a bad tackle though. I imagine the Nix boys aren't asking the oppo to not tackle them at all. 

What was the score/goal scorers?

Nah was nothing in it really. Ahh score was 4 or 5 nil, 1-0 at half time. Fenton got a couple of nice goals, unsure on the other scorers.

I doubt there is a open day this season. This weekend would have been the best time for it as the following weekend we are down in ChCh, then off to Palmy the next weekend after that. They could hold it the Sunday after the Palmy game I guess.

Brockie said he was heading to Nelson this weekend on his twitter account, so I guess the Wanderers game on the 23rd would be the next outing.
