they should sign him up so he can try and injure players at both international and domestic levels.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Phoenix Admit Fallon Interest?
WELLINGTON Phoenix admit they are keen to talk to All Whites striker Rory Fallon but there are obstacles in the way of any potential deal.

Have your say.

^^really??? There is no way Rory goes out to hurt people, if he did he wouldn't be playing for NZ. There is no way he will come back this year, maybe next season but the nix just don't have enough coin to pay Plymouth to get him out of his contract.

well, then he can rot in the 3rd tier of English football

maybe Phoeniz should try for Killen for a marquee spot. He's a free agent now that Boro don't want him.

I guess you missed his comments last week?

I'm pretty sure Plymouth would be willing to let him go on a free also, dropping down to League One they will be looking slash player wages as much as possible.

NOT AFTER THAT WE'RE NOT!

:lol:

dakid - I assume you didn't actually read the comments from Rory and just got sucked in by sensationalist headlines? Idiot

OK then, let's post Fallon's comments then.

"I always say friendlies are a waste of time and players worry about injury and suspension in them, but when you are playing Australia all bets are off," Fallon said.

"I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few injuries. I don't think anyone is going to hold back. Australia will be the same - they won't want to get beaten by a team they think of as a lesser country.

"We're going full-pelt with these guys. It's not bad blood, just that old rivalry between New Zealand and Australia."

Also note this:

The lack of transtasman encounters since then led New Zealand Football chairman Frank van Hattum to joke last year that the Australians were "chicken".

And where anywhere in there does he say he wants to injure people? He says he doesn't usually like friendlies and doesn't necessarily play 100%, however as it is against Aussie he won't be holding anything back. The few injuries line (while a silly thing to say as it gives people like you lot an opportunity to do what you have done) is mentioned as a possible result of going full tilt rather than holding back.

He's still left the door open for interpretation mike. If he had come out and said "it'a a lead up game to the World Cup and our aim is to look at tactics/formations/team cohesion" then his comments would have been fine.

He left himself open for interpretation.

Fallon's an egg. Saying he doesn't want to play for Wellington because he thinks he's good enough for the EPL, Constantly falling over against Australia, and saying that Jesus was responsible for him scoring against Bahrain. Effectively, Leo Bertos is either God or Jesus if this is to be believed.

DON'T GET FALLON!!!
He lacks commitment, lazy, gives away stupid free kicks by using his arms in the air. The goal he scored (Bahrain) was set up with a great kick and 2 great other players (killen & smeltz) running lines to draw the defense off Rory. He also missed a point blank headed that either of the other strikers would have put away. He has NO LEFT FOOT! like my left is better!! And he doesn't look to feed other players. There are much better options out there.
