Mariners V Sydney / Pre season round 2

[RADINHO]

FFS bosnich made alot more difference to australian football than aloi$i ever will

one of the best goalkeepers in the world---------------------------the guy who kicks the penalty to get us to the world cup

I agree Bosnich has done a lot more then Aloisi but we all know the Media loves that penalty so it sends a messege of Aloisi. While bad media has surrounded Bosnich with his Cocaine problems.

Still, there has already been plenty of media attention on Bosnich (and therefore us) at a time when a game like this would normally get no publicity at all.

Bosnich making a comeback will undoubtedly get world wide attention! All good for the 'sea of yellow'!

Bozza - years of playing top flight football both overseas and for Australia, stopping numerous penalty shots in the process.

Aloi$i - yet to do anything remarkable other than net one crucial penalty shot..

I know who I'd vote for!

But did Mark Bosnich ever help us get into a world cup?

I appreciate what you are trying to say but then again...

[Tassiemariner]

And what does this have to do with World Cup Qualification?

I understand that he did miss a penalty but
A) i'm sure Bozza missed an obvious saved sometime in his career
B) Name a great player who hasn't missed one (Baggio, C Ronaldo etc)

 

[marinersman]

Bozza and Kewell are our best two footballers we've ever produced.

As Matthew Hall pointed out at the time of Bozza playing for United, he was arguably the most famous Australian on the planet.

IMHO. he was never the best keeper in the world but certainly in the top half a dozen easily. His display for United in the WCC (I can't remember who they played) was the best goal keeping display I've ever seen.

Bozza training with us is massive, massive news for the club. You can't buy that publicity. If we sign him in whatever capacity, he will drag more people in than Aloi$i. The guy is loved in this country despite his past history.

He is much, much bigger than Aloi$i ever was. Aloi$i is a park Footballer compared to this guy.

for f--ks sake boy !!

It's bozzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa farken !!

Mark f--king Bosnich !

The thing is football had took of 3 years ago but Bosnich played six years ago so all the new football converts don't have a great knowledge of Bosnich while Aloi$i's penalty converted all these people to football so there is a huge knowledge of Aloi$i and thats why he is so marketable   

Well I don't mind admitting that I'm one of those so called "new football converts" but I can still see the difference in importance between Aloisi and Bosnich. Give us credit, just cause we're new to the game doesn't make us dumb-arses.

 

[loyalist]

imho bozza was a better player at his peak
but aloisi has done more for australian football

Not Yet

 

[FFC Mariner]

Agreed, Aloisi is a journeyman footballer trawling around Eurpoe while Bozza was arguably world class.

Golf comparison might be Woods/Appleby

 

[Mariner Girl]

Very much looking forward to this match and just watching how the team "gell" as a unit without being all churned up. These pre-season cup matches are a good indicator to how you willl go during the season but not the be all and end all.
Great to have Bozza here , hope he has a blinder

fair enough  aloisi  took one of the penalties that got us into the world cup but i think we get so caught up in his shot that ook us through and forgot  about the how many others that got their penalties of which if they didnt get it we wouldnt have so  it was  not Aloisi who took us there but the whole team .. If anyone took us there was Shwarzer with his  wonderful saves ..  not  one penalty taken by Aloi$i

 

[Atomic]

Agreed, Aloi$i is a journeyman footballer trawling around Eurpoe while Bozza was arguably world class.

but Aloi$i has done more for australian football

I'm not sure what you mean by this and how you draw this conclusion. How has Aloi$i done more for Australian Football? And yes, we know all about the penalty.

You mean the one he missed in the 1st leg of the semi against the scum?

Yeah, good one Atomic. How bad was that penalty?

The amount of sitters he missed for us was unreal. He should have score 15 last season. Worse than watching Allsopp. He's not our problem now. Good luck scoring goals circus with Aloi$i in the stands and Bridge up front.

 

[soccersensei]

Yeah I'm busting too as I'm sure are most ;D
I really appreciate peoples concerns about this seasons squad, especially as most other teams seem to have been more active with new squad signings, yet Lawrie has always by and large constructed his squads extremely well in the past - striker problems withstanding - our squads have always surprised so I'm really looking forward to seeing at least some strong glimmers of potential on the weekend.

The biggest concern (especially with Mrdja looking like he may just be ok) has to still be the hole left by Tommy  :'( as a creative attacking mid... so I'll be very interested to see how we are looking in this regard and whether I think we may be ok with Hutch, Caceres and Elrich...

But even with a healthy firing Nik, it still feels like we are missing "at least" one major signing doesn't it?
???

 

[Arabmariner]

We all obviously want to win,but the important thing is being prepared for Rnd 1 v the scum.I wouldn't take a defeat too hard and nor would I go overboard about a win.Look at last year...we lost 3-1 at home to Perth in the pre-season cup then look what happened in the league.

And also Atomic ....a word...........[quote author=Atomic
