Without taking anything away from Gilchrist, anyone can get an average of 60 when you face average bowling for so long. Coupled with the fact that when he was batting down the order, Langer and Hayden had already exhausted the bowling before Gilchrist even faced it.

OK, I have one for you. All of us exiles have another sport that we follow. Mine is Aussie Rules and the Brisbane Lions....I have seen Hockey badges on here and American Football. Sooo. How about a diagonally split shirt? For mine, the left side of the diagonal would be the blue and top half of the latics crest and the right side of the diagonal, the maroon and the bottom half of the Lions crest....just a thought

One thing's for sure; I will never see it live again....unless I go to Adelaide next week !

I was about to write the same thing this morning before heading off to the Gabba. The irony is, is that it is hugely satisfying that we are disappointed. I havent felt like that in years. We have no one to fear in this division but ourselves and if we can stretch our domination to an hour instead of a half, we will get through that too.

The greatest day in my life was kissing the penalty spot (and getting an infection in my bottom lip from the pitch) after Redfearn's pen secured us the title. Being at the Gabba watching Cook and Trott destroy the Aussie bowling comes a close second....Ponting's grounded but claimed catch off Cook made it even more satisfying. Same old Aussies, always cheating! The prick even had the audacity to say he was disappointed with Cook for not walking....because he said he would. Yes Ricky...only if he was actually out!! There were 7,000 there today; six thousand were Poms! look out for the red and white JD Sports away kit! What made it even more memorable was meeting a fellow Latics fan on Stanley Street after the game. Truly Memorable!! Awesome weekend, but today was sweet....fantastic way to turn 50!

Totally agree. Skillful, fearless and would die for this club on the pitch. Would captain my all time 11. Alan Young would run him a close second.

The Brisbane Lions have operated a Season or members card at the Gabba for some years now and it is extremely effective. It isnt a swipe, it is a bar code which is scanned at the turnstile by a permanently affixed scanner. Seat numbers are pre allocated which whilst it doesnt prevent theft, it serves as a massive deterrent; double or over allocation is a thing of the past. What it also allows is exit and antry at any time. Scan out, scan back in etc

Havent been back in 10 years, so not many )

Live on the on the other side of the world.....still am and always will be a ST Holder

The last one drove me to drink !!!

I still believe that SC or "the remaining amigo", always had more personal wealth to invest in the club than is ever suggested. The other two, whilst thankfully digging deep, always viewed the whole experience as a hobby and a bit of a gamble....which they may yet still get a return on. Corney on the other hand does appear to have the passion for the game, the fans and the club and I for one am more than happy that he is our chairman. Dickov and Taggart are fantastic appointments and Eaves is a fantastic bit of business. Nominal fee plus add ons for an un proven, untried player can only benefit us. Everyone has three goals in them, Tom's were all in one game....big whoop. I put 4 past one of my work mates yesterday. They didnt mean anything. Neither did Tom's...except we were paid handsomely for them. We are Moving forward on a very positive wave again. If we go under, it wont be for the lack of fighting and It is an awesome feeling not to have to support a club that is just going to roll over and die. We are and always will be OAFC. One Amigo Football Club somehow sounds right.

Good Interview with the wonder kid. Already talking the talk like every other 30 goal a season Premiership striker. http://www.bwfc.co.uk/page/General/0,,1004~2120332,00.html Loved the last bit when he was talking about the hatrick....."Unfortunately our striker went down injured and I had to come on. I managed to put the ball away on that day - it must have been my boots I feel a weekly serial coming on; The story revolves around lazy boy footballer Tommy Eaves who finds an old pair of soccer boots in his grandmothers loft, which on wearing them turn him from a bad soccer player into a fantastic soccer player. They apparently hold some magical power that transforms Tommy's soccer prowess, leading him to score goals and also be in the right place at the right time and not be crap. Personally, I hope he scores a bagful and leads England to World cup glory in 2014 Good luck Tommy old boy, cant wait for you to find an old pair of cricket boots next...

And the likes of the two of us buggering off South

Its all relative Rosa. I too offer mine if you can get to Brisbane to pick it up. To be honest, Itd probably be cheaper for you just to go to Broadgreen Hospital......See, not so bad now

Nutshelled !!!!

Football isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that." — Bill Shankly Bloody jocks did it !!!

From Wikipedia: XR6 :- an English-born Polish footballer who plays for Oldham Athletic in League One

Shouldn't be too taxing.....with soon to be only 10 cars parked at the ground. He wouldn't even need to take his shoes off!! Just as well you said counting rather than organising though. "OK, I have a Rolls Royce, an old XR6, eight Fiestas and all this space....OK, i'll put the Roller right at the back...couldnt afford the insurance if I hit it, or the repairs if it hit me, the XR6 at the front with all its fancy spoilers and trims which actually do absolutely nothing to enhance performance, but at least it looks good ........and thats it. This is easy !!!"

Damn you !!!! I miss them more Having a huuuuge homesick moment now
