El G I know what you're doing here...
That's the before and after shots of what happens to the typical woman when she forces herself to follow her man's football team. At least, in her mind anyway.
Are you collaborating with AJ13 on the "no women at football" thingy then??

There are no women at the football, but quite a few 80 year old Chinese men in panties.

James Downey


Well, if he ends up being a waste of space, we've got the politically incorrect nickname all lined up.

I can't recall him playing for Perth of the Fury but he sounds like exactly what we want. Right back, probably rivaling Lochy, Leo or Brown for fitness.

My sauce assures me he's with Oakleigh Cannons in the VPL at the moment.

Jimmy Downey - the pride of Gympie.

We'll have to do that as a banner next season if all the ifs come through for us.

Remember him at Perth - had a lot of pace which made up for his severe lack of footballing ability...until he got injured and lost it all. Basically a worse version of Hearfield.

Maybe he's gotten sick of shoe shining?

I think he still has his pace. I am sure I read that Sparta Rotterdam were very impressed with his physical attributes, especially his pace. Probably thought they could teach him to control the ball and cross to supplement his extreme pace. Probably the quickest player ever in the league.

A crappier version of Walcott?

Because that kid still can't cross or control to the level he should, but damn he's got wheels!

What's everyones thoughts on Allan Pearce? NZFC Golden Boot. Maybe he deserves another shot?

Thought he looked very good at the NZFC allstars game amongst some fancied company. Rumours he can be a little lazy. Be happy to see him trial. He's quick

I think we can assume he's not unkown to Ricki (and previously J Gould) so it's not like we need to inform them of his existence.
