Official Matt Simon appreciation thread

[FFC Mariner]

Remember people, this kid was playing park football 2years ago.

4 goals, 5 games so far this season and Musc**t was given the job of marking him tonight.

He made Moore look an idiot and scored 2 against Musc**t.

Matty - you are a class act and well done

+1 good post

 

[loyalist]

He has improved out of sight.
Goes to show what a bit of confidence can do for a striker

 

[MrCelery]

I had my doubts last year, but the Foxtel summary of him is spot on: http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,24377729-23215,00.html

My player of the match.

 

[RADINHO]

very good performance from him i remember last season we would always curse at him when he always missed sitters, but now he's a legend.

 

[Razorback]

He hasnt had a chance to miss sitters yet this season. That's whats great from a Mariners perspective he is putting away quality goals and he is working so hard to create these opportunities for himself... Well done MS

Also love how Matty is like a bull terrier; never gives up and NEVER dives. Fair dinkum, the guy battles to stay on his feet and attack the ball and he lets the ref make the decision on the foul. If only all players played like that it would be even more of a man's game!

I made it quite a point last year to tell everyone I spoke to that this guy is having to live in the shadow of that fark wit Alo$i.

I am so glad we pissed him off and now finally have a striker that actually will go in looking for the ball. (Shame it took the management team so long to get and keep you on the park)

Matty - Heaps impressed and wish you continued success. All the best mate !!

our first goal last night was class. 11 passes, finished by a beautiful cross (lightning strikes! porter to simon, simon scores - we're going to hear a bit of that over coming years!) and then matty does great work to beat his man and finish coolly under theoklitos.

the second he just rises and pounds his header - it would have been clearly under had it not taken a small deflection, but he scored anyway.

super play, he's busting his arse and getting results. i'd rather have him than aloisi or griffiths right about now.

 

[midfielder]

Without doubt the form striker of the league ........... and someone who can play with his back to goal and pass back ......something mising in the Socceroos aside from Dukes ....... I think our Matty has a good career ahead of him.

So true. Well said. Juniors take note. This is how to play the game.

 

[Teddy Bear]

How hard will it be for Nik to get back in. Will they resort to rotation between Dylan, Sash and Nik while constantly playing Matty?

 

[Wilson]

You can get your official Matt Simon badge at the game...Only $4

 

[Bex]

I'll wait until they bring out the face mask thanks

 

[Deej]

Interesting that Matty changed from number 2 to number 19 this year, our previous number 19 was of course the Mariners all time leading scorer!  Perhaps 19 is the lucky number for scoring when people percieve you as shit

I have to say
that Kwassie used to be the best unco player in HAL
now Simon is!
No offence to Simon- I love the guy, even from days as No.2. but still has that unco feeling (the good old Kwassie feeling)

 

[dibo]

'you've got that kwassie feeling
oh that kwassie feeling
you've got that kwassie feeling
but now he's gone, gone gone,
whooooah ohhhh ohhh...'

 

[MattSimon]

Can't wait for tonight!

It's back to business, time to slot home a few more goalskis and secure these three points.
