Muscat article - "The Punch"

[Chops18]

you're changing your specs
With players like Veart, Beltrame valkanis, ponytail guy (name escapes me) as well as the coach that were dirty. I can understand you wanting to wipe out season 2 in memory but you learnt nothing from it.

Costanzo is the guy your speaking of. Beltrame yet you fail to mention Ross Aloisi.

Slight overslight. I said half the side.

And yes at Beltrame, when Archie was putting them past him in the final, he was trying to trip him over.

 

[Triple E]

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Not sure if it's been mentioned on here (considering it'll be 16 pages of Victory arrogance and United sooking so it's not worth reading) but a victory supporting friend said that the bar the away support were at last Friday in Adelaide had Muscat come in and slap $1000 on the bar before the match. Good on him for that but he's still a prick.

And when did any of those guys do anything as bad as Muscat's tackle on Zahra (which wasn't even his worst ever tackle)?

 

[Bradesmaen]

1000 isn't much.. Back in uni one of my lecturers slapped 300 on the bar.. and he makes nowhere near what Muscat was making.

And to add, Adelaide United and Brisbane Roar have since moved on, and cleaned up their act. So too have the Mariners.

How can it been Good Riddance if Muscat isnt bad rubbish

Who is arguing that?
You said that 'I can't name another A-League player who has deliberately tried to injure another player'
They tried but weren't good enough just like AU.

 

[Boro]

Muscat is being likened to Hitler now? Some perspective would be nice...He was a player who played on the edge and went over it a few too many times. His reputation will rightfully be tarnished because of that but he was still a very good player when in control. His career is over now, so maybe give the vitriol a rest and have a quiet drink to celebrate if you hated the guy so much Just as I did when Michael Valkanis finally stopped playing (if you can call what he did playing)

When? Not looking for a vague description here, just an actual moment of an Adelaide United player (or just about any A-League player other than Tiatto) attempting to do something like what Muscat did to Zahra. Or to Dugarry, or to Holmes ...

Oh FFS are u serious?

Just let it go- he did something nice for a bunch of strangers n ur poking holes in it!

Is it pure wishful thinking that with his retirement we may here less (or even no) Muscat sooking around here from now? Or will him being on the sidelines be enough to rile everyone up?

Already said they tried but failed because they were crap.

 

[Schulzenfest]

When did they try? Pinpoint an incident please. Footage would be nice as well.

Pinpoint yourself. I already gave the beltrame example. I know your head was in your hands at the time. If you think that Muscat is the only footballer ever to try injure someone your seriously deluded.

 

[Schulzenfest]

What did Beltrame do?

I don't think Muscat is the only footballer to ever try to injure someone. I do think that the ones that have are all thugs like Muscat.

 

[Roadie]

Was it Beltrame who collected the ball and needlessly kicked Fred in the guts early on during a match in 06/07? Might've been Bajic.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Footage? I didn't watch the A-League back then so I wouldn't have seen it.

 

[Roadie]

Can't find footage online, it was Bajic though.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Well, if true, Bajic is a thug as well. Not to the extent that Muscat is, but he is.

 

[ErnieSigley]

Thats funny! You make claims about A-league history then quietly state you never watch it 'back then'. How would you know?

As for the Babic claim, maybe. The Beltrame one is after Archie's 5th in the GF. People bag Hernandez for being fat, not a patch on Beltrame yet. He ate the pies.

Beltrame didn't even touch him.

Not really a question of it being true or not since he got a red card for it.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Fair enough then.

Bajic = Thug.
Muscat = Massive, massive thug.

 

[ErnieSigley]

Beltrame didn't even touch him.

He tried just too fat and slow ie not good enough.


Nice of you to post that vid. What was the score?
