Haha as I’ve always maintained, I was surprised we went for him. Wasn’t even the best kiwi left back or left back at their club. These guys are destined for the top.

manc_don Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 This was the equalising goal. Weirdly, aussie TV had guys in a sydney based studio, so didn't have the mic feed from the ground and their sound was bloody quiet. This is the kiwi one, stadium went berserk.

manc_don Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Well, seems like we've well and truly missed the boat with the Nix keeper. Linked with Chelsea, Liverpool and Bournmouth. The latter being owned by Foley who also own Hibs, Lorient and the newly form Auckland FC. I wouldn't see him coming back to play in the a-league, but I'd be pissed off if he was in goal for Hibs. Also, fuck Foley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I may have selective memories but the last time I can recall Hibs having a consitant good keeper was in the 90s when they had both Goram and Leighton. Since then they have had some real bombskares (almost made Bossu look like Buffon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only assuming Bournemouth will loan him out, but seems like he may even come in and challenge their current crop. Missed opportunity for us imo.

Reekie_Red Posted Saturday at 12:56 Share Posted Saturday at 12:56 Brand new team to the A League, Auckland FC are proving to be a bit of an enigma. Played 3, Won 3 in their inaugural season. They are my "local" team and the second NZ based team to feature in the A League. Watched them again today as they took on the Wellington Phoenix in their first ever derby match. The quality is definitely lacking, kind of reminds me of the quality of the Scottish Premier maybe around 25 to 30 years ago. Certainly interesting though, following a brand new team, with brand new fans, brand new songs, brand new rivalries, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
