Just a heads up.

No REAL blog today or well, yesterday – apologies, still having internet troubles.
It’s the 29th eh, what the hell. Remember back as a kiddie going “30 days has September bla bla bla and November 31 bla bla and 29 in leap years” and I was sitting there going “What the ‘ell is a leap year?”

Kewell wants to play his first game in 24398509386024870467 years for the Socceroos against China in Kumpangingang at high altitude the cheating bastards. We should play our home games up on top of Uluru or better yet Mount Kosciouzko or however the hell you spell that Australiopolish mountain name.

Pondeljak to Victory which now means he’s a cunt.
Durante to Phoenix (knew for months.)
Ogs and Check – Oh, Lee going obviously to Adelaide (knew for a while.)
Queensland sign 2 young dudes (Kosmina, sign someone young like Kaz Patafta.)
Eduardo back outta hospitals – over 25,000 get wells on the Arsenal website.
Erm, alot else but no coverage from me. Check the links out right for more crap.

Season review tommorow. Look forward to that – heads up, this will be a return to my “Garfield Dilbert wing-it match reports” of yondermonth so uh – yeah. I’ll have some serious(ly crappy) writeup after the funny pictures though.

Pray tonight for my internet speed to go from 56k back to 36mbps.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetos.

Nothing.

There’s nothing. Nothing interesting.
Johnny Warren goes to Joel Griffiths.
Rising Star awards goes to Bruce Djite. (Kruse/Zullo anyone?)
Manager of the year goes Gary Van Egmond.
Vukovic still there.
Eduardo still injured.
Arsenal still Arsenal.

Blaaaaaaaaaagh.

MORE on the Vukovic Ban Suspension High Five and MORE on the Eduardo Injury

Following on from earlier today, really earlier today. I posted the previous at about 1:15am I believe.

Welcome from a fine night from a fine day in Sydney. Well it was a fine day until that, you know – hailstorm came. Me internet is still banjaxed but I’ll just wait for everything to load properly on this Dial-Up speed connection, blog is returning to normal format so yeeeaaaah – crappy captions to crappy images with crappy jokes with just crappy all around yeah. Telephone cables hit, car windows hit, house windows hit and of course broken umbrellas.

 

Sums up America under Bush doesn’t it.

 

Cheap shots abound. America – we got rid of our crappy government, so did England, now it’s your turn. What’s a New Zealand? Covering the Vukovic and Eduardo snap obviously, but there are also some randomn bits and bobs around. On up to Ashburton Grove (CORPORATION?) then.

 

ARSENAL:

News is that Eduardo is out for nine, count em’ nine months. Heck, Diaby was out for nine months if I recall and some people cared. Not everybody. Yet I can’t shake the feeling Eduardo is somehow better than Diaby. Not everyone can rot as a sub and befriend Diarra though so nyah. Apparently Eduardo faced amputation but the physios ran crazy-like and saved they day leading me to one conclusion.

 

Gary Lewin is SPIDERMAN.

 

Now apparently, that Taylor bloke has received a few death threats. Now, I don’t condone telling a merry f*cker shitface wankhead minging Craig Foster adoring Tottenham supporter who releases a DVD of the greatest tackles on Arsenal players and why and how Arsenal stole Spur’s shirt sleeves by making them white to go die in hell but I hope Taylor and all other leg breakers die in hell.

But by that logic I’d be including Lucas Neill in that group but he did do great justice in breaking Carragher’s leg and I seriously hoped that he would sign for Liverpool so that he could punch Gerrard or something and or what when? Bit of a tangent here. I do condone leg breaking in Rugbee League though so, you Rugbee players reading… a “sokker” blog… go break some legs.

 

Rabbit. Oh’s?

 

On that note I should probably go down under.
You know, where women toil and men plunder.
Honestly, can’t you hear that thunder.
I reckon you better run, you might want to take cover.

 

HYUNDAI A-LEAGUE:

OH I SAID DO YOU SPEAK MY LANGUAGE BROTHER?
HE JUST SMILED, AND GAVE ME A VEGEMITE SANDWICH.
Let’s get the muck out of the way before we get onto the juicy stuff. Juicy stuff. What? Con Constantine wants free-to-air football. See what happened with the NSL? Eh? Worst TV coverage ever in the history of the world, worse than ESPN’s coverage of the La Liga which is saying something. I honestly don’t know neither care as I have Foxtel Digital (soon to be Foxtel Digital HD – MORE PIXELS) and can easily watch Free TV because – who can’t?

Now Andre Gumprecht I’ve always rated highly even though he’s getting on in years. Honestly he’s outdone himself. Read in the paper (again, ever reliable Free MX that I picked up at the train station on the way home – did I mention free?) that the CCM had some sort of celabratory loss Costume Party. Gumps turned up as Hitler and nows the FFA want to fine him. Stick it to the man and smells like Gosford spirit and all that.

 

Insert funny Gumprecht Hitler picture here.

 

And me internet has gone from bad to completely useless in the time it’s taken me to write this blog. Well then.

Vukovic had his ban extended into Olyroo duty (banjaxed interweb so no link). No Olympics for Danny then. Honestly read any sort of A-League forum and all the respite from all corners of fans whether Tard, Covee or Sheep Shagger – everyone hates it. People are throwing around 8 match ban, 3 match ban, 5 match ban but honestly – a ban that could rise up to 15 months for a simple HIGH FIVE?

If I recall, Joel got a none match ban for high fiving a linesman.
In the groin.

I think getting hit on the hand is slightly less worse than getting hit in the jewel but that’s just me – obviously the FFA and the Match Committee disagree with me.

 

Insert funny YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG picture here.

 

There are numerous other cases as well. The Cantona kick, the Di Canionaonumerouno push – none of these lasted as long as 15 months. In no sort of spectacular fashion the CCM has gone through with an appeal soooo let’s hope that you know – works.

Leaving this up for debate.

Until tommorow,
Have a very merry birthday Eduardo – forgot to mention that.

Vukovic Ban – Vukovic Banned For 15 months.

Ugh, bull.

Watching the newswire around and this just broke on Football in the Capital and AUFourfourtwo. Danny Vukovic has been banned for 15 months.

He will serve a required 6 months ban and if he reoffends he will cop out a further 9 month ban.

He will not be able to play any matches in the A-League until November 24th 2008.

He has 7 days to launch a reasonable appeal, if he does not get something up – this’ll go ahead.

What’s worse is that the committee is considering extending this ban into NATIONAL TEAM GAMES. You heard me. No olympics for Vukovic if this happens.

By no means blame the FFA, this is an INDEPENDENT match review committee.

Yurgh, what about Joel? He hit that dude in the groin?
Shit happens, hope the appeal works.

Vukovic Incident and Eduardo Updates

Too much going on, bloody Mondays.
Well then, my internet – has gone horribly wrong. Horribly horribly wrong. So wrong I opened up the old Google and got a “Cannot Find Server” by the old Firefox when one of Google’s servers are probably as big as the house I live in. Well I’ll have the super duper season review up on, or by Saturday as I actually want to make it you know, good. Because of my current internet suffering from the Dial-Up effect – no images this blog today… again. You’ll do fine with text. You read the text in every other blog anyway. Might be a bit shorter and more serious than usual too as even though I can get Photoshop running – it’d take 5 minutes to upload something into imageshack or photobucket, therefore the creative juice can’t… you know – secrete. On to news then.

 

ARSENAL:

Brave Eduardo vows to beat injury was the main headline and a good headline at that. Quoted so I don’t have to comment:

“All I remember is that when I fell, I looked down at my foot and it had turned the other way. The rest is just a blank. It was an unfortunate situation but these things can happen in football.

“I am unsure at the moment of the extent of the injury and how long I will be out of action for but I know that I won’t be able to play for Arsenal for the rest of the season or be ready in time for the Euros this summer.

“But I’m not worried about that. My concentration and determination is on making as quick a recovery as possible. I am determined to overcome this injury.”

And apparently Niko Kovac no likey. He’ll be back in time for Brazil’s campaign in the Copa America the EURO 2008 campaign. Something that you can’t say about England though. 3-1 AUSTRALIA. I mean c’mon. If you checkout the newsfeeds like GoonerNews it’s all just basically Eduardo things – quotes and opinions and stuff. Nothing much else than that – slow news day in the Arsenal world, well not slow but more of the same stuff everywhere really. Quantity over quality is the phrase and I would myself say that I detract from that Quality.

 

HYUNDAI A-LEAGUE:

Been a busy day in terms of the A-League. All the focus is on the Grand Final and what basically happened in that. Here are some Youtube Highlights of the A-League final courtesy of Jay from stopwastingmyoxygen.com. Well before we get onto any of this Danny Vukovic fuzz let’s cover some nicer things. In fact let’s put them into a list that you can all click even though you don’t actually have to be on this blog to browse. Just go straight to FourFourTwo or TWG next time you uneducated sods.

 

Aloisi and the Central Coast BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS! Isn’t that nice.

Party time as the Jets win!

Winning a lavatory seat makes Durante’s life meaningful.

Dutchie says it was him. HE WON IT. IT WASN’T THE PLAYERS IT WAS HIM.

And also he wants to keep the players that were in the Final even though Mark Bridge will one way or another be ooooooouuuuuuurs.

 

Anyway, on to this Vukovic fiasco. Danny Vukovic strike on Mark Shield youtube video. Again thanks to Jay from stopwastingmyoxygen.com. People are talking about a one year to possibly a life ban and apparently the “super duper committee of doom” will make the decision later today.

Now I’m not one to judge but – what the fook is up with the committee? People around have been blaming the FFA for this but nah, they’re cool – it’s this committee we keep hearing about that isn’t cool. It’s just like blaming the FA for not getting England into EURO 2008, wasn’t their fault it’s just that the players were kinda shimmy.

 

enlandfanonenumber says: hay guyz fat lampurd and geraeraerd cunt paly on da same taem.

melburnfan says: hahas i tink muscat shud paly 4 engrand i tink hes da bestest palyrer in da worldszzzz!

aleaguesokkerisshit: fuk u fags a-league is shit i’d rather watch shit beng shit on by shit afl and rugbee legui is soooooo much fuking manly deres no contakt betwen palyers in sokker but in afl and rugbee u go all manly and gropegrope and a-league is shit even though i don’t know any of da teams or palyers and i havnt wacterhed sokker ever but a-league is shit

 

Uh, yeeaaaaaaaah. Look, 2-3 match ban would be fine by me. 5 match ban would also be fine. I could also accept 6 for you know, straight red and walking off and giving a slap to Mark Shield (can’t blame him) but a year ban? You know you committee are effectively setting a death sentence to the Olyroos? WHO else do we have? Bouzanis! That’s right! No. That cunt fucked off and is now starting to play for Greece even though he has never lived there ever – was born here, started his career here and was funded by taxmoneys while he was at the NSWIS.

Who else? Ben Kennedy! That’s right! No. He’s a decent keeper but his mullet kind of gets in the way of him doing anything you know, decent. Who else? Tando Velaphi! No. When you can’t get into the team ahead of Tommi Tommich you must suck. Seriously though, this year/life ban shit is basically that… shit. Don’t worry – ROBBIE SLATER WILL SAVE US. He was of course quoted in the ever reliable MX Newspaper that I got free at the train station. Said of the situation, “bla bla bla – but a year? That’s a bit over the top.”

Sooo there.
Let’s hope Fozzie supports this one year ban.

Cheers until tommrow when my internet probably won’t be fooked.
Seriously, it’ll take 5 minutes to publish this thing.
