I was quoted in the Sky Sport Magazine this month for an article on
the Phoenix, which focused partly on Jeremy Christie as he has now
been a part of all 3 franchise setups in New Zealand.
In the article, I mentioned that the general opinions that
were canvassed from this forum suggested that Christie was signed
purely as a backup for Richard Johnson, in the event that he was
prosecuted for his driving incident earlier this year.
The interview was scheduled before any of the pre-season
matches.
As it happens, I personally felt that Jeremy had an
outstanding game against Sydney, and proved that he is a very
capable player and fully deserves his place in the squad. I
apologise to you Jeremy, after seeing your display for any
suggestion otherwise.
Like anything, I think it is important to admit when you have
made a mistake, or when you are wrong. As with all media, I made a
call on how I felt about it at the time, so am pleased for him to
have proved me wrong, and to also have proved that he is a solid
asset to the Phoenix forthe season ahead (he had a solid game from
all accounts last night as well).
If you happen to read this, send me a PM to let me know your
thoughts - I owe you a beer!
Cheers,
Adam Brown (Cnut)

Same too - never rated Christie at Perth, but thought he put in a
strong effort ...also thought Old was on his game too....

ive been another sceptic of Christie's skill/worth...last night i
personally thought he played well.....hopefully it'll carry through
to the AWs :)

I hold my hand up too. I had dubious feelings about Jeremy
Christie's signing for the Phoenix. I watched him play a great game
against Sydney at the Ring of Fire and read that he has played well
again down there in ChCh. Good one Jeremy! Keep it
up!!!! I too have been proved wrong! But glad to be so!

Celtic, if you have some reasoning why he didn't play well let us
know. Otherwise I'll delete your post.

simply saying that someone was shocking is a wynton rufuresque level of bad analysis

the guys and i who went along thought he was crap. his defence was poor near the end where he messed up many long balls, and also saw a few funny little stunts where he thought he had the ball and ran of when he didnt.
its a matter of opinion. For me he was dreadful. to you he
might of bin good.

Lochead was far worse for the majority of the game... (sorry Tony, cant lie to the people...final 20 was good though)
there were a number of times where JC was playing great support to the guys upfront, his passing was decent and he seemed to be everywhere...if Daniel had stayed on his feet...the work rate of JC wouldnt have had to be so high

lol. my comments will just get classed as "wrong" due to the
mods pretty much having something against me. Ah well. The whole
crew i was with thought plodder was the worst.'

i could understand if the mods had something against ya (not that
they would be that petty...)
TBH the majority of the teams defence was shakey...im not saying JC was 100% brilliant, but at the same time i dont think any of them were...or even close to it

It was me that said Dodd was Doddgey, however you will have to
excuse myself and others for getting our defense a bit muddled up
as to who was the worst. They all seemed to give the ball
away or just thump it up to the forwards aka Knights and
Kingz. Same sh!te, different wrapper.

that's strange cos against sydney they pretty much did the opposite...cleberson was guilty of it, but the other at least tried to keep it calm and use short passes and keep possession...i guess qnsld might have been more persistant on attack and rattled them more

Im with the rest, there was almost no attempt made to play any
football in chch. It wasnt so much straight long ball play but a
sort of muddled cross breed of medium range passes not going to
feet and then if they did the receiving player would slip or lose
the ball. Christie was by no means the only guilty party,
Personally i didnt pick out any one player as being shocking (other
than the brazilian #21) was just a disjointed team
performance.

i was a bit disapointed at how our defenders would just try and
boot the ball as hard as they could, have it go high and pray
it would go in the right place...

im pretty sure Dodd was the worst offender of just booting the sh*t
out of it and praying for success (couldnt really see it at times,
apologies if ive nabbed the wrong one) it seems to be a major
problem in most football ive watched in this country (that and
actually having the guts to take a shot)
hopefully it was just nerves/new strategy.....i dunno, maybe we all have high standards
