Timmy's 100th match

Timmy's 100th match

Tim Brown has been a great servant for the club since its inauguration, and is a wonderful ambassador for the game of football in New Zealand. While he is not currently in the best form, I figure he deserves a thread to commemorate his first 99 matches for the Phoenix.

My favourite moment of his in the yellow shirt would probably be the winner he scored against Sydney in 2008/9. His 40m lob this season is another obvious highlight.

Congratulations Tim on reaching a wonderful milestone.

lucky headband ftw

Thinking of bandaging my head up for the game on Sunday in honour of Timmy, anyone else keen?

:) You please me Patrick.

Yep that one against Sydney is memorable-

I also scared the bejesus out of 30 odd 12 year old Korean kids when I taught them YF chants as part of an English lesson, chucked the game on the big screen and then went absolutely mental when he equalised against Melbourne, allowing for Smeltz to score a brilliant winner later in the piece.

Would it be considered a rip-off of the Rugby World Cup opening ceremony if we hire a bunch of Crown forklifts and have them performing some choreography on the field before the game in honour of him?

I'm in

Perhaps Yellow Fever should recruit a nurse (Tracey??) to be at the bencher and outside Aisle 22 offering her services before the game to get folks in the mood?

Whatever they are you'll need a head bandage afterwards (lucky even).

Just made my lucky headbandage for gameday.

Banner/s?

great idea - severely tempted, despite my usual hatred of anything even faintly resembling a costume/fancy dress!!

be a nice way to honour the man

I am gonna have a bandage too. Great idea.

Damn wish I was there >_<

Anyone have access to large amounts of bandaging material that can be brought to the Bencher pre-match to strap everyone up? Would be awesome.

cue a confused conversation between Dewhurst and Harry Ngata/Fred De Jong about YF delayed Halloween celebrations

fixed

Three more players could potentially raise their bat with a century this season. Current appearances:

Freak

Timmy's a decent enough player and an important man in the club 4 sure, but he really doesn't have all the qualities needed in a central midfielder imho. Seems Ricki understands this too..."There's always going to be parts of the game that people don't bring in abundance" Stuff

Battleship Brown, pass it back or sideways Brown....

Start a more well-rounded midfielder such as Mr Ward on Sunday please Ricki!!!!

Score lots of goals Brown...

Or any, really.

apparently he wins us alot of ball in midfield???

Tim Brown's 100th game tomorrow. Be there early to see a special presentation to be made to Tim to mark the occasion (about 3.45pm).

Bought my bandages today. $2.25 from New World if anyone cares.

Have you dyed them brown? bwtcf2012-01-07 20:04:40

Nope, thinking of doing a layer of brown strapping tape over the bandage though to keep it on my head

White for impact though right?

indeed, just like in the penalty shootout

I expect to see white everywhere in the Zone tomorrow. Impact. BOOM.ahmad2012-01-07 21:47:48

Cant believe it, Brown gets to play his 100th crap game. Longest serving useless player if there has ever been one.

commenmunters said the head bandages that read 'BROWN' on them were because of Manny Muscat...

would have been nice if he had turned up to play football on his 100th game

it/he sucked

Everything about Tim's 100th game was a let down.

They couldn't even be bothered doing the presentation in front of the loyal fans, who turned up early to be there for it, in horrendous weather. It was a complete insult to do it in the tunnel.

And that was just the start. I'm sorry Tim, I like a lot of what you do, but you were complete rubbish today.
