adelaide saint Posted 9 February, 2009 Share Posted 9 February, 2009 just read all the messages, good bright messages, no moaning, just how it should be. i'm very envious of you lads, always wanted to go there, i've friends (aussies) from my cricket days, the problem is i'm now 60 (chuckle). just wondering if you are english or aussie blokes, or a mix, keep posting it's interesting to read your views, one thing we all are is SAINTS through and through. Stuff those plastic "big club" fans, not the Skates, they,re just awful. All the best fred Born and bred Aussie, my passion for Saints stemmed from my admiration of their ability to survive in the most arduous of circumstances in the mid 90's, the games at Wimbledon and Coventry come to mind. Will always remain a passionate fan despite my mates constant ridicule of my beloved club hopefully one day things will turn full circle and they can take some of their own back . Oh and 2-1 to Australia on Wednesday with the great Timmy Cahill netting a brace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred kemp Posted 9 February, 2009 Share Posted 9 February, 2009 hi a. saint timmy cahill, he played at sms, 2003 for millwall in the cup, thought then what a good player, he's done well for everton. watched saints res, v chelsea, a few years ago, one player stood out for us, scott macdonald, we let him go for nothing. i've had the micky taken all my life about saints, theres loads of people around my neck of the woods who don't miss a trick when we lose, lets be honest at the moment, constantly. fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good ( and freindly ) rivalry has grown between the two teams and being in Japan, The Japanese with throw everything they have at us. Should be a real cracker of a match.

Melbourne Saint Posted 27 February, 2009 Share Posted 27 February, 2009 But before that, there's the small matter of the A-League Grand Final. Anybody else pumped for it? Everybody might talk the A-League down (including Pim Verbeek) but it's made some great progress over the past 4 seasons and it's only going to get bigger and better as the league continues to expand. We'll be going into tomorrows game as massive favourites and the fact that Aurelio Vidmar has already come out and admitted that they'll parking the bus in front of their goal worries the hell out of me but let's hope it's a win for not only positive football but for the leagues biggest and most supported club. COME ON MELBOURNE! BTW, how fitting that I'm the Saintsweb arcade champion in "Burger Time" and "Keg Stand" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Bones Posted 3 March, 2009 Author Share Posted 3 March, 2009 My apologies to Adelaide and Melbourne fans... being a Perth Glory supporter you can at least understand that I forgot to mention finals football Ha Ha Interesting game that Mr Breeze deceided he'd be a major part of, sadly. Brightspark - Muscat gets away with near on assault most games. He wears his heart on his sleeve and a few well placed nails on his boots. ! Dirty bar-stard - somehow I still enjoy watching him play however. Two more days and the local lads get to strut their stuff against the Kuwaitiee's - Heres hopign for a better game then the Singapoprean one.

Melbourne Saint Posted 3 March, 2009 Share Posted 3 March, 2009 Woohoo! What a brilliant night. It wasn't quite the rout that everybody had predicted but it's actually more satisfying beating Adelaide 1-0 than 6-0 because this time they were in the match and had their opportunities to cause the upset. It only hurts them more. Breeze is apparently the best referee in the country which is a load of ****. The decision to send off Cristiano was wrong (and yet satisfying the way he cheated earlier in the season) and it was evened up with Allsopp getting sent off. Replays actually show that nothing happened so Australia's #1 referee and assistant referee simply guessed. The team has given us supporters terrific value over the 4 seasons of the competition and hopefuly we can hang on to the likes of Carlos Hernandez to defend our title and give the Asian Champions League a shake. Muscat is a *****, no doubt about it. But he's our *****. For somebody of his age to play every minute of every match is just a phenomenal effort. He's clearly the best leader in the competition and without his presence I don't think we would have achieved what we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiesaint20 Posted 7 March, 2009 Share Posted 7 March, 2009 Calling all MELBOURNE SAINTS!! I know it's over a month away, but I was hoping to organise a night for all Melbourne saints fans to get together for the Wolves game live on T.V. Obviously we would need to first find a place that would be screening the game on a Friday night. Will most likely be one of the clubs most important games, let me know what you guys are thinking.

Saint Bones Posted 16 March, 2009 Author Share Posted 16 March, 2009 (edited) Well I'm not a Melbornian - but after a bit of surfing came up with this. "The two best football pubs in Melbourne are, without a doubt, the Charles Dickens Tavern on Collins St, and the Celtic Club on Queen St. Either of those, and your mate will get a really good atmosphere. I prefer the vibe of the Dickens, but the Celtic has a larger TV screen." Charles Dickens: http://www.melbournepubs.com/v/142/ Celtic Club: http://www.celticclub.com.au/index.html Friday 10th April - Wolverhapton Vs Saints. ( Unsure if either of the two venues will be showing it - you may want to contact them ) Like I said, I'm not a local - so that could be miles away from you all. Regardless - good luck for the meet.

saintdownunder Posted 18 March, 2009 Share Posted 18 March, 2009 The Dickens is my preferred one of the two suggested so far even if one of the walls has Man U crap all over it i think we`re the only game on at that time so. Come on you reds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbourne Saint Posted 22 March, 2009 Share Posted 22 March, 2009 Just to add to the current options, there's also The Keepers Arms which is a football pub in North Melbourne and even Steakout at Crown which is your stereotypical american style sports bar with numerous TV screens, one of which should have our game. However the big issue is that it's Good Friday. Will anywhere actually be open? As long as there's a place to go I'm still in. The Charles Dickens would be my preference too.

aussiesaint20 Posted 25 March, 2009 Share Posted 25 March, 2009 G'day again guys. Failed to notice that the Wolves game happened to fall on Good Friday, hopefully we can still track down a pub that will screen it. Looking forward to this, and it would be great to meet a couple of fellow Saints supporters. Don't come on here that often, now that I can't access the main board, so if you plan on attending Good Friday feel free to add me on Facebook, my emails trevf_101@hotmail.com.

Yep, I agree...It's hard to see a win at Sheffield Wed.....Burnley won't be easy; will we still be capable of staying up by the time the Nott. Forest game comes along !

saintdownunder Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 The only problem i see with the Aussie bid is the timing of the tournament, a winter world cup could work against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it's got a real shot, and will probably get the 2022 cup, with, hopefully England getting the 2018 slot. Wouldn't that be ideal?!?! I couldn't understand why we were persisting with putting together a bid for the 2018 World Cup but once FIFA made the announcement that you could bid for the 2018 and 2022 cups together it made perfect sense. For what it's worth I agree with you. I don't think we'll have a situation where 3 consecutive World Cups are held outside of Europe. And you'd think England would be the strong favourite for 2018 as it is. But for 2022 we've got to be a decent show. It will be 20 years since the World Cup was held in Asia. We've also got the infrastructure and the track record of hosting world class sporting events. I don't think our winter sports will be a problem. The AFL have already said they would work with the FFA rather than try and cause problems. To be honest, with all of the exposure that our country would receive should it host the World Cup I'd imagine the AFL (and NRL to a smaller degree) would be excited by the possibility to sell the/ir game/s to an international audience. And let's face it, as somebody born and bred on Aussie Rules it is also a great game. Most people I met in Europe on my travels last year were fascinated by it.
