Marinators Call to Arms

[Andy]

Andy Harper didn't play for the Socceroo's did he?

 

[fish]

I think so , not quite sure and wiki doesnt mention it. Although his scoring average for Newcastle of 9 in 48 appearances made me smile.

 

[Andy]

His whole goal-scoring record throughout his career is laughable.

It's a disgrace he once was called a Professional Striker!

 

[fish]

not as bad as his "expert football analyst" tag he now carries

 

[adz]

he probably has a business card with that on it, that he hands out at troppo

 

[Andy]

Looking back through his Wikipedia page history, found this so called vandalism:

As a commentator he has little idea of what to say about the game. He tends to use big words that are completely out of context or simply incorrect. His most common utterances include 'Sydney', 'Juninho', some sexual moaning (when Sydney FC is mentioned) and 'Simon, have you got any tissues?'. It is often reported that he has no friends.

Also his first professional club was the same as David Zdrillic. Saint George mustn't have a single attacking coach.

 

[Gav...]

i will be there !

Oi, don't mix his Breakers days up with the Scum ... it was 1999/00 - Newcastle Breakers FC (NSL) - 31 app. 6 gls.
2000/1 - Newcastle United (NSL) now the Jets - 17 app. 3 gls.

According to both http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/AusSoc.html (Aussie football statos bible) and the official FFA Media Guide put together by ABS statistician Andrew Howe (you'd like him, Dibo) - Mr Thesaurus has NO caps, repeat 0 caps ... I'll read that again, zilch caps!

Or get him to sign Fish's banner.

 

[brett]

we might get wet. I'll be taking the list and checking it twice ;D

 

[radar]

you should all wear yellow raincoats and hats - that would be a Tifo in itself

 

[brett]

Or a musical.

 

[Davo]

We just got something to do til kickoff

Make sure you also get along to the match early this Saturday night, as the rescheduled Celebrities vs. Supporters match will be kicking off from 5pm as a curtain raiser to the main game.

Already confirmed for the celebrities are Captain Feathersword from The Wiggles, Former Socceroo stars Robbie Slater and Andy Harper, Boxer Jamie Pittman and ABC TV and Radio personality Adam Spencer.

When I bought my ticket this morning Ticketek said that the Celebrities vs. Supporters match has been cancelled for tonight.

 

[priorpeter]
