I mean if Kosta coming home, shooting up the A league all time list of scorers and being top for most of the season wasn’t enough, f- em.
(And so many other stories- Hughes heroics to injury point, Salas the Costa Rican star coming right, the wobble before the run in, Al-Taay and Pennington. Rufer’s captaincy and belief in his team, the intriguing left back duel between Sutton and LKH, Ben Old, Alex Paulsen as always makes a triple save mundane…)
If they want to play smarmy games that’s their look out. If Ali Williams and a guy running onto the field overshadows that game, these guys are pork chops of the highest level.
As reported here Adelaide covers the Phoenix better, and as the city that reached the ACL final in an exhilarating run, I’d rather they follow us than any other patronising gits from NZ. Results at Coopers/Hindmarsh and in Melbourne are two things I really value. Because they’re great football towns.
I wanna know what Niche Cache says, not folk who are scared of football.
If we can get twelve thousand fans in Welly as a ceiling, let’s find a way to make it work. I don’t care about taking along insincere fans of the mono-culture. We don’t need the fans coming along waiting for a pitch invader or dancing girls or something. A but of fun pre-match stuff for the younger ones and a good game should be plenty.
For example both volleyball and netball participation rates at school exceed rugby. There’s certainly not comparable coverage there!
(Also certainly not including Voerman, Piney, Rollo, Burgess, Tony Smith I think sorry Tony, and the other print journos who’ve done a great job over the years of writing about the team…)
