Jest up 1-0 over the Tards 25 mins in

The Scum dome must have the worst surface in the A-league. Ours was bad enough to force us to have an extended hiatus... but imo, it's not as bad as EAS is today. The ball is bobbling all over the place. It's absolute shit and a disgrace.

so... where have all the squadron gone? and what did they do with the rest of the jets' supporters?

Always glad to see the Scum lose... but methinks a draw would've suited us better

 

[Blackadder]

Choppers go down, and Scum go down, Mariners win..... the perfect round

i *hate* the nickname 'choppers'.

IIRC it just seemed to come about in the middle of the post 5-4 forum meltdown. something to do with 'FC' standing for 'flying choppers' and then something about talay as well. consequently it means nothing to anyone who doesn't remember/wasn't part of that conversation, and it's not like there's anything actually good about it that would encourage us to use it in spite of its obscurity. considering the multitude of other names that can be and have been used for them over the years it strikes me as utterly pointless.

Fwiw, I love the name "Choppers". It means something to me. It was born from blood sweat and tears. It encompasses all that is good about us and bad about them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's unique to us. We made it, they deserve it, and I'm sticking with it.

so nick mrdjas tackle in v1 doesnt paint us with the choppers brush then...??

 

[Atomic]

It's diffucult to be holier than thou for one's entire life... but no, it doesn't. A one off tackle like that is different to the game plan that Sydney produced on that fateful day... IN MY OPINION

 

[Paolo]

+1 to "Choppers" being a shit name

 

[Atomic]

What do you suggest?
