R19 - Roar vs CCM

[Gratis]

Amused to read a comment by their new Dutch striker "from what I hear Brisbane Roar is the best footballing team in Australia"

 

[dibo]

Clearly hasn't had time to look at the table.

 

[adz]

hasn't had enough time to watch all the DVD's yet, still on the 2010-11 season highlights...

Pedj out - Sainsbury to RB...
do find it amusing that Kwas is out for the season but Jimmy Oates who has been out all season is listed as four weeks

 

[tsd]

Oates has had 4weeks for about 4 months!

I thought Morton did well at right back but will be interesting to see if the stain can get overlaps going at right back, defensively he may have to cover the lack of monty

No Pedj is never good. Could be an opportunity fo Sains to show off more of his attacking quality.

I'm assuming "29. Nick Fitzgerald (Gentleman’s Agreement – 1 week)" means they let him go provided he didn't play against them in the last game of the regular season

Yeah I don't understand that bit - they don't rate him enough to keep him but don't want him playing against them?
Head scratch...

How many times do you see a player score against his former team?
Wise move I`d say.

I agree. I remember Adrian Caceres did sweet FA when playing for us but when he returned here with the Wellington Pheonix, he tore us a new one. He then proceeded to fade into obscurity.

Every dog has his day.

 

[adz]

I guess he will have to wait 'til next season to do that then.

indeed...a head scratcher...maybe they think he will tell the mariners all the Roar secrets while playing them...yeh, dont play him just in case that happens..also, I asked the cousin in Holland about this new roar bloke from PSV and the words "two footed clod" were uttered

 

[dibo]

They probably wouldn't rate many players already here - I wouldn't be too quick to write off the new guy.

Just the one game i believe. Next time he is available. According to arnie

 

[scoober]

I think this game is crucial in that we win. For ourselves to believe we can get the premiership, and for all the chasers to believe they can't! No better time to take the pussy cats down too.
