So apparently Noah was on Radio Sport this morning after 8.30 talking up the Yellow Fever website. And he is in our midst on the forum somewhere.
I cant get the Radio Sport Audio bank to play that time slot unfortunately - think there might be a problem with it.

Good old Noah. He's done NZ football proud with his attitude. A shame he and Buncey aren't on the Phoenix books.

Not sure they were bagging Ricki as such.  More raising the potential issues with him doing both jobs and the shambles that the South American tour was.

In that case, if you are reading this Noah Hickey, I urge you to come out of retirement and try to get a place in the Phoenix. The team needs you.

Hey, I loved Noah Hickey's comitted blood & guts style of play.  He gave it 110% for club and country. And I really enjoyed watching him play. However  I was a bit disappointed at the way he chose to bow out of football.  From what I read at the time he and Buncey were bagging  our Ricki Herbert, and to me it smacked of sour grapes as they weren't likely to get a place at the Phoenix.  Just how I saw it.  Others will have their own thoughts I guess.

Hickey woulda been picked up by the Phoenix. Just about the best player for the Knights last year in my opinion.
 
Im pretty sure he thought that Herbert couldn't handle both jobs, and as this season we have seen no evidence that he can, I dont think we should blame Noah to muck for his comments.

Its kinda sad to think that when Ricki took over NZ he chose Noah to be his right hand man amongst the players and now the two seem to be at loggerheads.

Cheers for the comments guys, just to clear it up with you guys I never came out and bagged Ricki Herbert. I said my only concern with leaving the game was having one man do both jobs and it would be ideal if we had two Ricki Herberts. Ricki is the right man without a doubt! The media chose to make a big fall out story that never existed and it is better for me to leave it now as the game doesn't need anymore crap in the media. So there it is done and dusted and to be forgotten so it's all about the Pheonix now....

It is great what Yellow Fever is doing and I know the boys would be loving it!!! I'll keep trying to give ya's a plug on Radiosport as much as pos. Keep up the good work and good luck this season, you'll be the best crowd in NZ by a mile!!! (hey you already are from what I heard in the weekend)

Cheers,

Noah.

To be fair to Noah, when he was fit, he was/is a class footballer with nice touches. He played at decent clubs when he was injured and when he did get fit, he was at a shyte outfit. I don't know if I agree with how Ricki used him in his various roles, but you never saw the dude really complain and he played well with what he was given. He was positive in the media and in this country, thats a rarity (are you reading this Dewhurst?) I can recall his game at Yarrows Stadium in Jan 05 when him and Allan Pearce had joined Waitakere and they tore Manawatu to pieces, in spite of the fact that the game as a whole was rubbish.

Hollywood? So the guy wants to dress well and look decent. Professional sportsperson and professional image. A few Warriors and All Blacks could learn from it. I don't hear anyone saying Hollywood Dan Carter. It was about time the Brockie got rid of his dread locks cause he looked a mess.

As far with dealing with him on the pitch, he never gave me any stick as a ref (not saying he is squeaky clean) so I got no beef with the guy.

Good luck at Gisbournofski and future endeavours.

Thanks for clearing that up Noah. I was just wondering, if next season Ricki had proven that he could take on both jobs, would you consider making yourself available then? You say the game in NZ doesn't need to get any more stick from the media, but I'm sure if you came to the club and helped the club do better their would be nothing but praise coming from the media.

He has left one spot open and im pretty sure you could plug the rb spot for him, at the moment no one really has it.

Hold on, I think you are all getting a bit carried away here.
 
Just reading between the lines of Noah's post it's easy to get a handle on the real story:
 
- Noah and Ricki had a big bust-up in Venezuela over the affections of a local beauty queen. Noah had been chatting her up all night but while he was in the toilet Ricki put the moves on her and sealed the deal by telling her that he was Noah's care-giver and he was taking Noah to see Disney World before he died of incurable leprosy.
 
- Noah also objected to Ricki insisting that the players referred to him only as "The Phoenix King" or "Sir Ricki, Lord of the Phoenix" on the same tour.
 
- It's also obvious that Noah thinks Yellow Fever is a stupid name (the team plays in black!) and that the forum is home to the kind of freaks and social retards that are the natural enemy of a super fit sport billy like himself.
 
- When Noah says "you'll be the best crowd in NZ by a mile!!!" it's obvious that what he really means is "you're a bunch of limp-dicks who make about as much noise as my grandmother's respirator".
 
- By mis-spelling Phoenix as Pheonix Noah has betrayed his sub-conscious belief that the Phoenix is a disaster waiting to happen and that like the sh*t dumped from an airplane's toilet the whole mess is just looking for somewhere to land.
 
- And finally, I can't believe you all missed his clear inference that Terry Serepisos has the same dress sense as blanket man.
 
I hate to be the one saying the Emperor's got no clothes but someone had to expose this ridiculous charade!
