As one of those who gave Leo a rough time when he played against us for Perth,let me say i am very happy he has decided to join the Phoenix and you bet i will be among those giving him a big welcome when he plays his first game home game.

Thats great, I'm sure lots more will join you. I can remember giving Covs and Danny Hay a hard time when they played against the Knights. Covs didn't deserve it!

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

What's that Dave Dobbin song? "Welcome home from the bottom of my heart, Welcome home......"
 
 
Just checked, got the lines right. As for leo, i don't care if he doesn't score, so long as he can keep supplying the chances for the forwards to do their job. His crossing is much more effective than you-know-who's.

was there any coverage on either 3 sports or tv1 of Leo's signing?

I flicked channels but couldn't see any -disappointing if so!!

Main story on the Dom Sports pages so well down the Dompost!!

Unfortunately now the focus will go off football in he media because the Phoenix aren't playing. That means transfer news will take a back seat sadly. Let's hope that changes eventually.

I reckon we can speed up that process of change!

I've emailed both channels on the assumption they had failed to give football the credit/profile it deserves. (i know Scribbler suggested other ways, but this will do for tonight)

Glad the dom treats the club and fans better than those two media (though to be fair, tv three is usually ok to good).

If the dom can remember  that Wellington has a professional sports team , with a returning local lad surely the other media can too!  (It's only been a week since the season finished  -and O-league might well be approaching -how hard can it be??!!)

  Perhaps a few more reminders from others might wake the tv channels up!

make sure that when he moves to wellington, a few of the yf boys (and girls) take him out as a proper welcome.  A few pints at the BB, move to the 4 Kings for some further beers and chasers and then over to Mermaids.  Don't let the lad put his hand in his pocket all night.

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

Pity we can't drag him along to the End Of Year bash next month. Let him see what he's in for 

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Pleased you read my suggestions, Tigers. Hope they proved useful. For those who missed them, my posts were not the last word on the subject, just a "Dealing with the Media 101".
 
I can't remember where I posted them but if they're still accessible, maybe someone can throw in a link.
 
Just remember, it always makes sense to  think through your tactics before letting fly at the media and alienating potential allies. Which reminds me...
 
Great to see so many positive posts on this forum to Fred's recent piece in the DomPost on the Nix first season in the A-league. It was a well thought out article, positive where it was deserved without papering over the obvious cracks. Good journalism.

The mind boggles as to what a Big Greek Welcome might be?  Anything like a Big Greek Wedding?

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Not sure throwing plates at him when he steps off a plane would be too welcoming...?!
 
But very stoked we signed him, hes quality.

Yeah ! Bertos is the man!!!
 
He'll go great under Rickie...just what the team needs. I remember how well he played when the All Whites played Brazil. He was the best AW on the park(Moss was good too)_
 
Not surprised he got Gilberto's top....he skinned him clean making a 40 metre run. A Brazilian patted him on the back afterwards... sort of saying " well done mate"
 
All those doubting him...remember Perth were shiite this year. The year before Bertos was near the top for assists for the whole A'League season

I think Bertos is a great signing. He always stepped up a gear when he played against the Phoenix ( trying to impress his future boss no doubt) and an extra gear after that whenever he played in Wellington

He was the top. Funnily enough Juninho is the top this year and he has played barely any games. Goes to show how good he is when he's on the park.

Absolutely agree. Juninho has been total class in the last few Sydney matches!
As for Leo, he's an awesome signing. Perfect fit for the club and great to have more Wellingtonians in the side!
