Rd23 2024: 8pm Eels v Panthers GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank Stadium Aug 9th

[84 Baby]

I think it has moved on from a Concourse walkout to turn in your seat, face away from the field and chant something about sacking O'Neill.

EDIT: If they try and hand me some flyer encouraging me to chant some crap, I am going to screw it up and toss it back at them.

I’m just going to start singing hymns

Oh God our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home.

Under the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient in thine arm alone
And our defence is sure.

I think that second verse really hammers home the point

 

[crocodile]

Which one O'Connell or Church

Has to be O'Connell. Went to Church once, got married. Not going back.

 

[EppingEel]

Can anyone tell me the point of Penrith coming onto the field at half time of the cup game?

 

[The Predictor]

There will be maybe 10 all up imo.
Penauts.
What are they protesting? Not winning. That is sport. Warriors,Brisbane, Souths have had more dissapointing seasons. Atleast us and Brisbane have had a huge injury toll. And both have/had bush coaches.
Injury saw another Panther jersey in the inner west. That's 2 this week. Lol
Motherf**kers are jumping on the Bandwagon.

I guess winning fk all of nothing for almost 40 years? I won’t be partaking, though they are shit

Cause Penriff merkin

 

[EppingEel]

Storms coming in, hopefully keeps the first grade game close.

 

[Suitman]

The Wanderers have had protests like this before but they have mostly been against the governing body of the A-League and have been supported by other clubs who also protested, and they have ultimately been rather successful.
If some Eels fans feel the need to protest against our club, that is their right. It is also the right of other fans to disregard this protest and refuse to participate.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out but I suspect that Eels fans are generally "meh" about this sort of stuff so I suspect it will be a non-event.

 

[JokerEel]

How did we end up with Peter f**king Gough as the ref again?

 

[JokerEel]

Also Doorey on the bench is

If we do everything right and play well, the choice of ref shouldn't come into it.

 

[Eelogical]

I expect an Eels victory.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

James Hooper's there, surprised we let him in.

Has he come to drink from the poisoned chalice

[Gherkin]

Hope we look to kick it out on last. Force them to ruck it out off a play the ball against a set defence rather than at our terrible kick chase. Slow the game down a bit to suit us rather than play at their speed

Can someone put one on the ugly merkins chin for me?

 

[Parra Pride]

I’m sure we all saw that coming.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Talk about f**king bittersweet..
Great tackle by Hands

Absolutely.
Brian Smith used that tactic against a rampant Broncos back in the day and it worked a treat.

Soft as ffs
