Brian Smith Interview

[JessEel]

A TRUE EELS FANS will sit through these not-so-good season, laugh it off, have a whinge, but still go to the games and admire the players for giving it what they've got.

After the performance on Sat night, how many of our squad do you really believe are giving it all they've got??????? :?: :?:

hahahahaha i was waiting for someone to ask that

i said giving it what they've got, not all ;-)
and in answer to your question............. hopefully there were some Divvy or Flegg players who gave their 100% :?

I understand what you are saying, but these players are on big $$$ contracts. Do you seriously expect them to play under there capability???
Why should they not give it their all????

Actually Misty, it sounds more like you support "yourself" - YOU want to be happy cos the club/team YOU support are winning - it seems like, 'screw who is involved, as long as I can be happy'.

EXACTLY, and I have said it before. As self centred as they come. "Make ME happy or I will CRY!!"

BTW, just out of interest, where were you during the 81 GF?

So you think you are better than other just because you might have beena round longer? F*ck you you skanky b*tch, egotistical, arrogant piece of sh*t. Once again, f*ck you!

Nice one HJ!!!!
I hate that the "Mature" supporters think they are more passionate than us of the younger generation!!!!! :x :x

 

[sportive cupid]

Hey how come we are all fighting each other? The"mature" versus the "young" , the "young versus The mature ugly versus beautiful ,dumb versus brilliant:blahb: :blahb: :blahb: :blahb: :blahb:

 

[hh]

HJ mentioned it, and it is something that has bothered me for awhile so I threw my bit in :twisted:

 

[eelegant]

Just what we need.

Eels V Eels.

Even then, I don't think the Eels will win. (/end joke)

LOL

 

[sportive cupid]

oh well we are all entitled to our opinions but I just feel its abit sad to see us alienating each other by catagorising each others responses based on age or other such factors

So true, So true, congrats to both Strider and HJ, nothing more to add as i've said it all before

That is funny, though

I think we are all just a little uptight after having seen a most heartless. appalling performance on the weekend.

I can understand where Misty is coming from, but then again, I was there in "81. ;-) ;-)

Suity

 

[Twizzle]

I was there (Cumberland Oval) in 62.

I thought I had been through it all.

This is just one more chapter.

We have had very good and very bad coaches, players, teams and staff.

We will get over this as we have done since the inception of the Eels.

 

[Parra_Boy]

I don't care how anyone supports the team, as long as when people go up to you and ask you what team you go for you scream loud and proud the MIGHTY EELS!!!

Ohhhh and just wondering what was the second half score for last weeks game?

 

[Eelementary]

OK, so we got DESTROYED on Saturday. But you know the mark of a truly good team? Getting back on top after being essentially down and out. It is how they handle the criticism from fans and the media after that huge defeat that counts. For example, in the first cricket Test in Sri Lanka, the Aussies were bowled out for 220. But they came back and showed thir class to win it by 197 runs. Now THAT is a great team. And I'd like to believe they share similarities with our BELOVED EELS.

You want an example of passion from a newsih fan?

How about this:

Ever since 2000 (when we got back to Sydney and I got interested in League and Parra) I have watched EVERY single game. Be it live or be it on the TV, I will ALWAYS watch them play (if it were up to me and my Macca's salary, I'd go to every match; reality dictated I just can't afford it).

We have copped some huge beatings. But you know what? You know what I wore today and yesterday to Uni? My BLUE 2004 Eels jersey (BTW, is that Home or Away? I'm not sure, 'cos on Sat we played with the Gold, and technically it was an away game).

I then went to North Parramatta Macca's (where I work with quite a few Doggies fans) and told EVERY single Dog supporter after insulting me and my team to bite me.

I drive my blue car with yellow plates. "It looks gay," my mates say. I say I don't care - it's Blue and Gold.

I was there round 26 2003 when we nearly won. I copped a lot of crap. But I am proud of the fact wqe have won 4 Premierships. I am proud of my club's past.

Last year there was a show I went to watch in the middle of Bankstown. I wore my Parra jersey. I copped crap, but I said - bite me.

Bottom line: I may not be the longest Eels fan.

But I can certainly say this - I am (in my mind) one of the BIGGEST Eels fans you'll ever meet. I own just about EVERY piece of memorabilia related to the Blue and Gold. That is all I ever want for my Birthday and Chrissie.

I'll admit I have been highly critical of Saturday's performance, but as the dust settle I can clearly see it is merely round 1 and we an do better.


I don't care whether you love Smith or loathe him. I don't care whether you love a certain player or would like him to leave. You know one of the best things about the Eels? The fanbase - we are like a giant family.

And I think we owe it to the guys to support them like a family.

I don't know about some of you, but I will match the match on TV and cheer my damned guts out Sunday. I'd go if I could afford it.

GO THE MIGHTY BLUE AND GOLD EELS!!!

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

but u weren't there in 81, mate - so u dont come up to Her Higness' standards. ;-)

lol, wonder where Misty was in the early 90s, lol. probably crying that no one had invented the internet yet, and that she couldn't cry to her mate legend to make her a mod so she felt powerful, lol :roll:

 

[wittyz chick]

Jess are you trying to say most people on this board are bandwagoners :?

no, no gosh no, ((unless you are one of the people who only goes to games when we've won a few.))
in my memory most people on this board are here all year round, so that would make us all weather fans! 8)

Hell NO!!!
no matter how many games we've won or lost im always whingeing for someone to take me to the game
I was born an EELS supporter and will always be an EELS supporter...just hope alot of people on this board will be too (thats for the peoples who support the EELS not the other teams)
