I remember it clearly. I often chuckle at how that night ended up. I went home after the game and was sitting on my front deck getting deep into a bottle of Irish whisky and wondering where the f**k to from here. Suddenly, my phone starts lighting up like a Christmas tree as the news broke of Mulvey’s sacking, group chats popping off all over the place. Couldn’t believe it had finally happened (particularly the news breaking at 12.48am), and cried out a disbelieving but relieved “oh get f**ked!!” - right as someone happened to be walking past on the street below. “What the f**k?! You wanna go??” was the response from the street. “Bloody hell, here we go” I thought, as I made my way down the stairs to meet my would-be assailant.
As I get to the driveway the sensor light flickers to life - much to my relief it was Rowdy 😂

i broke the news of Mulvey’s sacking to him, and he replied “get f**kED!” “That’s what I said!!” was my response, and we popped open another bottle of whisky and celebrated into the early hours 😂

Some of us were asleep when that group chat went off

Maybe a reconnect to his brain and feet…

Or a disconnect

Creeping dread setting in...

I do not want to see the same line up for this game.

I’ve decided to stay home. To put that into perspective, I couldn’t tell you the last time I decided to stay home instead of go to the game.

It’s more even dread, honestly. It’s a “I can’t justify spending my evening watching us get smashed when I have so much shit to do.”

I’m not seeing many other possibilities with the squad of 20 other than Edmo out and that’s another reason I can’t justify going.

I can’t think of a better place to be (well maybe a couple).

Good weather (maybe 😂)

Last years semi finalists going at it. Sure we aren’t the same but it was one bad performance on the back of coming back from Japan and humid against quality opposition.

Are people forgetting we are undefeated in the A League in Dec and on a one game win streak but not any one game win streak the round 5 win streak. Come on people

Love your post 😂

It wasn’t one bad performance though.

Hoping your post still holds up in 24 hours.

How nice it must have been to miss the dark days.
I wish I had.

I sat through both 8-2 loses at home and every game in between. But go off

Me too.

Yep

Sitting through the bad times is such an important part of the overall experience of being a supporter. It is all part of the ride.
I am not expecting a result but games against the Bling FC are always something special.
Bums on seats are an important factor in not only helping the team lift but also helping the Club, not just in ticket sales, but also in things like sponsorships, and getting good time slots.

Besides you may be pleasantly surprised.

I was there for the Newcastle one but may have missed the Welly game. Both appropriate endings to each of the seasons.

Yes im queitly confident to.

It’s a big game today a win could possibly put us in the top 6. We haven’t been playing great but we only have 1 lose. Let’s get out there and support the boys. COYY

Need to see something new from Jacko. Definition of insanity etc.

I totally get this and sat through every game in the wooden spoon years for this reason.

But this is where I’m at too. Can’t keep dishing up the same stuff and expect a different result. I get the well isn’t deep. But I’m up for throwing out anything different to show me we are at least giving it a go. I’m not trying if we aren’t trying.

I wish that Welly game had been away. But I clearly recall sitting through the game in Gosford whilst questioning some of my life choices.

Luckily SM and MC sacked Mulvey before he had even had his cocoa that night and life has been beautiful ever since

was that schmozzle of a game, were among others, Mick, Serious, thurbs and moi along with a ton of others strolled down to behind the benches and yelled at Mulvey , when Dan the man became his personal security?
