HELP!!

could some body please give me a hand. Im catching a train from wyong, and because of trackwork i dont know what time the train will come and i could be late for the game. The train on the normal timetable says it departs wyong at 6.32 should i get this one? would the delays from the buses get me there after lead up/kick off ?

LOL - no, we are riding the wave of panic selling to buy up assets at rock bottom prices

With big posters of Warren Buffett on every surface?

Actually, his mentor, Ben Graham (who incidently was a long time associate of J M Keynes - another successful investor believe it or not)

was thinking of the 'when people are greedy, be fearful; when people are fearful, be greedy.'

0-0
Matty Simon missed a 1 on 1 and A Steelers player missed an open header from 6 yards out.

Pretty fair result on the balance of things, would have liked to score a goal late on.

Anyone know what the crowd figure was??
+ also, 'Cant help falling in love with you' sounded aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome.

 

[Redline]

Match looked rubbish...boring as batt dung tbh.

 

[mariners4ever]

Anyone know what the crowd figure was??

figure was 6780 somehow

 

[serious14]

Kudos to whatever idiot decided having some geisha's walk around was a good idea..... read a history book ffs.

Positives

Huke, Caceres, Simon's workrate, those sexy AFC benches..... ummmmm...... Denilson?? 

Negatives

The rest.  (is it really too much to hope that the ball gets played on the ground for more than 5 minutes a game??)

 

[blastbum]

How hot did we look in that new strip. Looks friggin' awesome. Heaps better than the Jets strip. LOL!

 

[FFC Mariner]

Was strange, the new strip looked great on the players but didnt flatter any "normal shaped" people I saw wearing it.

agreed, it was terrible and should have never happened. was almost as ignorant as the newcastle fans in front of me at yokohama calling everything local chinese.

You were in Yokohama??  Pity I didn't bump into you randomly.

I thought the strip made the players seem very big in the arms, chest and shoulders.

Huke looked massive and he is not that big a guy.

Agree, but perhaps it was a coincidence and they were promoting the sushi restaurant in the club while a crowd was in?

 

[serious14]

So, ignoring hundreds of years of cultural sensitivites for the sake of some cheap promotion??  Hardly better I'd thnk.....

 

[FFC Mariner]

and the sushi had been frozen and was crap

 

[Blair]

Best we have played 4 a while

Positives Erich, passes in bits of the game especially Huke, PITCH, Benches beat the Bunnigs Chairs 4 sure haah,Danny and defence.


Negatives Attacking (Simon), The way that lawrie uses then bench should put them on earlier, weather, ref was hopeless, CROSSES WERE SHIT, and awere of player makin the runs on angles around you OPEN YOUR EYES BOYS.

All in all did ok.

 

[BAD BULLZ]

Imho an alll I thought that was the most entertaining 0 -0 i ve seen for a long time yep we missed some chances and did a few ify long balls but we played alot sexy ground game of football then we have in soooooooooooooooooooo long.

Wilko harded up and played well
hutcho was pretty good
heff 1st half was nearly awsome
simon got into alot of good scoring chances very unlucky
huke better then wat people were expecting
mrdja didnt really notice him
ozzie big effort thought did well mostly
pedj made mistakes but made up for them other times
danny didnt have lots to do but did it well when he had too
boogs solid
porter wish hutcho n mrdja would let him take some free kicks

We just held our own if not dominated majority of game in the champions league
FFS we just got a point against asia and were all sorts of unlucky not to get 3 the losing streaks over and the mariners are on there way back.

star fm said crowd was 7k ish

Amazing! I must have been at a different game. Most boring game i've seen in living memory. Would like to see the stat for number of throw ins. Must have been a record. If it wasn't over the side line the ref was blowing his whistle.

Neither side looked like scoring except for one shot each.

Pity about the penalty shout, might have opened the game up.
