When I first saw the photo, I thought we'd signed Don Cheadle!

Cheers Ant, no biggie if its a bit of a mission, but you don't know if you don't ask

Hi Team, I'm attempting to be a little more active and have updated my profile info. Just wondering how difficult it is to add good old New Zealand into the Country field?? The closest available option is Australia and that just won't do!

Early on in the night..

Not sure if this has been done already, but pretty cool none the less!

Once Were Warriors Kiwi movie about one mans self destruction, but also the ability of his family to move forward regardless. Tough watching at times, 18 years old and very well known here, although not sure how much so in the UK.

Met Gary Lineker when I was a young fella, got my photo with him signing a football in the front page of the sports section in rugby mad Rotorua! Had no idea who he was at the time, but was keen as on the free football.

T'was more help than you were, but I'm holding out for more... Cheers tho!

Hi Guys, After a long Premiership season, I find myself leading a results prediction game here in my home country of good ole New Zealand and to be honest, am cackin my pants!! Was hoping some of the knowledgeable souls found perusing this site, may be willing to offer their thoughts on the final day fixtures. Choices are home side by 1, home side by 2+, Draw, Away side by 1, away side by 2+. Scoring is 8 points for draw 5 points for picking the winning side or 8 points for winning side with the right margin. My lead is 2 points hence the apprehension!! I am very keen on the framed Brazil miniature shirt, signed by Pele on offer for the winner, so once again any assistance would be greatly received. Thanks in advance!!

Nothing better than arriving for work, 8.30AM on a Tuesday, for live Toon match updates on the work PC. Toon 3 - 1, Nolan, Jonas and the Pancake to nick one late!!

To be fair, we are greatly Rugby orientated over here. However, on saturday Westpac Stadium (By rights a Rugby ground) was filled to capacity with the football public of New Zealand. an additional 500 seats were added a fortnight before the game to meet demand. Rather than the usual muted, mundane atmosphere that is created from an All Black game wheere we are expecteded to win easily, we got a robust, electric atmosphere of fanatics. With ten minutes to go, the majority of the 36,000 crowd removed their shirts and waved them above their head until the conclusion of the game. (Not the women tho ) Since the result, the country has choked on Football, and the attention football has recieved can only be benificial to our game. Minnows such as ourselves need to play in a global tournament such as the world cup to raise the countries awareness of the game, regardless of who we have to beat to get there. We wont expect to win a pool match, but by christ we'll give it a nudge!!! White is the new black!!

Ryan Nelsen better not get it, we need him for our worls cup play off November 14 against Bahrain!!

This seemed appropriate:

Toon 3-1, Nolan a double. you heard it here first!!

Was so pleased with myself when I worked that out.

I'm an avid reader but never post (Grammar and etiquette here may prove that!) such stupidity however warrants response. It is impossible, irresponsible even, to suggest promotion is guaranteed 3 game sinto the season! You post like it is a right to go back up, rather than a priveledge the lads must earn. 1 point eventually cost us relegation last season, and quite simply the same could yet happen at the top of the championship table this year. Lets enjoy the results while we have them, support the boys, dream of better times, and if and when promotion arrives, ill be the first to hit the piss in celebration!! (Being a kiwi, world time allows me the luxury of being first!)
