surely this is a joke. Why would anybody offer him a contract?

He is probably better than 2/3 of the Aussie keepers going around. You don't lose natural talent and he has it.

Just wouldn't be Bosnich without the old vomit '90s keeper jumpers. :lol:

Well i think he will be a gun, i hope he does really well.

then hopefully MVFC can sign him and get rid of the 3rd worst keeper in the A League.

massive news i heard on the radio, mark bosnich has signed for the mariners to play the first 7 games of the season as a replacement for vukovic....good luck to him ,jets rd1 will be interesting!

thats good news, i wish him all the best. except when they play AUFC.

i watch fox sports news to see if it was ligit , and they had mckinna on the phone, he new nothing of it,he said he spoke to his chairman and they hadnt even spoke to bosnish's manager.....so i guess the radio was wrong!

Of course they are denying. They do it in case the deal doesnt happen or falls through - because then it won't make the situation look as bad. So don't be too surprised if you hear sometime in the near future Bosnich signing.

i think it would be a waste because they already have two young great keepers and bosnich is what 40+ and fat
I wouldn't take the risk:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

mark bosnich is not the right person

remember you saw this first on 4-4-2......the rumor is gaining much more credibility now that the Mariners #2 keeper Matthew Trott has not been offered a contract for next season.

I remember that game straight away every time some one mentions Bosnich. After watching that match I couldnt help but took it for granted that his future would be very bright but he eventually ruined his own career.

Has anyone ever compared Schwarzer with Bosnich?

I suppose Schwarzer will go into Autralia modern history as a legendary goalkeeper. Maybe it's too early to speculate about that though :)

and the winner is.......it's not often that the Rumor Mill gets things right......

It's not right just yet.

Top call.

munky, if you were being sarcastic: mk said that TWO MONTHS AGO!!

I think most of us were thinking something along those lines. I think though he had a change of heart considering he's had family issues and now wants to set things straight, and I think coming here to play for 5 weeks with CCMs is a good step for him professionally and personally.

But yeah, things have changed since May 29. I was thinking exactly what mk said too.

In this interview at 5:30 he says that he is happy in England: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcYMq61y4xY

Just a joke, nothing more. I just found it funny that MK was so adamant that the rumor was wrong, only for it to happen not that long after. Agree with you though, wish him all the best with CCM.

:P Wasn't sure if you were mocking him in a good or bad way.

Yeah i was shocked in a sense when it was announced that he was coming over. Every time he was invited by Fox Sports or SBS for an interview or commentary regarding the socceroos they slipped in the question, "will you come back" and he always said, "we'll see." But it always seemed like he was just brushing off the question as he had always said previously that he was happy in England and understandably so. So it's good that he proved us wrong and that he was serious all along about returning to Aus, if only as a guest player before reigniting his career in the UK or Europe.

In a good way...I'm not Afroman:p

See i haven't followed football that long, so i don't really have a scope of how good he was, so his return hasn't really meant much in my eyes, but if he is/was as good as people say, it'd be great to see him start up again. Would almost be worth keeping him in the A-League if we can, god knows half the clubs need to see what a good keeper looks like.
