  1. Wasn't it something similar last season (or the season before) when Amison was covering for him.
  2. Think Nakata retired young-ish and went into fashion.
  3. Will video for this be available on Wanderers TV ?
  4. Doubt it. A decent performance at the WC in the off-season, maybe they'd go to Aus. But 4 underwhelming efforts from 5 matches, they'll be free tomorrow morning. About half of them play in Europe. Be on the first flight back I'd imagine.
  5. This Salva seems an interesting chap, according to his Wiki ... Personal life Off the pitch, Salva was notorious for his outspoken personality and his political beliefs, far to the right of most of his peers'. A nationalist who put his love for the "fatherland" over that for his own family, he displayed the nation's flag on his boots; when sent off for Málaga against CA Osasuna, whose fans include supporters of Basque independence, he shouted to them "¡Que viva España, hijos de puta!" (Long live Spain, sons of bitches!).[3] Fans of Basque team Real Sociedad displayed a banner reading "Salva, muérete" (Salva, die) when he visited their Anoeta Stadium, and he also had a dislike for Barcelona defender Oleguer Presas, an outspoken left-winger and proponent of Catalan independence, saying that he had more respect for "dog crap" than for him.[3] Although his footballing idol was Real Madrid's Hugo Sánchez, Salva's other heroes included Francoist fighter pilot Joaquín García Morato, Luftwaffe aviator Hans-Ulrich Rudel and Antonio Tejero, leader of the failed "23-F" right-wing coup. A self-declared Christian, he considered himself apolitical.[3] Born to a family with a military background, Salva stated that he would be the first to serve in the Iraq War if conscripted by prime minister José María Aznar. He was a patron of his hometown's military helicopter school.[3] In February 2013, Salva learnt that he was being turned down for the assistant coach job at RC Celta de Vigo over his political views.[26]
  6. Think I was watching a different game. Thought Morley was great - particularly in the 2nd half picking up a lot of loose balls, covering in the box, calmly passing the ball out. Pity we didn't see much of him going forward. Thought the new guy on the left was bobbins. Had a heap of chances to cross/shoot/pass when we were on top, and ended up going backwards or losing possession almost every single time. Worst game for Thomasson in ages. Nothing came off for him all night. Eyes due to be tested next week.
  7. Yeah, Australia are a hard watch. He's been getting a lot of stick. Expecting more from him going forward. But the other right backs are terrible. And the one game Gethin missed last week, we concede down his side.
  8. And just put in a cracking assist.
  9. Went to the World Cup with ... Australia.
  10. Terrible conditions. Seems we were playing against 2 sides - Cheltenham and Wind FC. All the players get a free pass from me. And I imagine from Ian Evatt too. Iredale, not sure if he had a great game or a shocking game, but he was certainly involved.
  11. They haven't played well in any of their games. They've conceded today for the first time though. Cross coming in from the right. Can see Gethin starting the next match. Although he wasn't even on the bench today, which seems odd.
  12. Ah didn't know that. Didn't seem keen a few years ago ... In December 2020, he was asked in the Bolton Wanderers official match day programme whether he considered himself Welsh or Australian to which he replied: "I'd have to say Wales, obviously I was born in Australia but I've lived in Wales pretty much my whole life and speak the Welsh language. I'm 100% Welsh."
