You have occasionaly flirted with the idea but constantly revert back to hatred even in the light of his finer moments for the club. Even though it's not my turn, ima answer this anyways. :P To put it simply, I really do hate him. He has a face I just want to punch, and especially last season he frustrated the fuck out of me. But this season, he has been amazing. He has buffed up over the pre-season and is looking a whole different player. He's been one of our best this season at times, and deservedly leading the scoring charts. I like the fact that he is playing for Victory, but I am never going to admit any "love" for Kruse. I like the fact I have been proven wrong about him, but just because he is scoring I am not gonna turn into his No.1 fan.

Also note with the increase of questions that i'm letting Funky pick and choose the questions he takes from forum members, or he can do them all if he pleases, this will be for everybody who takes part... Funky may want to answer all the questions or he may cbf'd and do half of them as he pleases, it's not a requirement to do every question

I'm doing one at a time, so then you don't have an influx of seven members a day and then nothing the next day... might have a member one every day or second day, so you can have 3-4 members a week, the whole point of the thread is to cut through alot of the crap on AF and whatnot I can send out the template now, but when it's your turn i will give you a couple of questions about how your club is going, an upcoming game, recent result, the issues around the club etc etc. and then one or two about the FFA/A-League itself and then you'll get user question that have came in over a day or two, i think that's fair way to go... I've got a vague list in my head of people who have asked and the order so don't worry Scouse ;) (I'll send out a template to the people on the vague list now, which includes myself so you'll be up sometime this week or so... and if you don't get it, well get a ticket and get in line for the time being) Quote:I reckon it should be. When do they have to be answered by? what do other people think? i don't care either way it's just people have that option to do it or not

Quote:About Me
Forum name? Funky Munky aka, That Dickhead
Age? 21
Location? Melbourne, Victoria. aka Greatest City on Earth.
TWG Refugee or 442 Citizen? 442 Citizen
Jersey Number and why? Hmm. I Dunno. I've never had one, coz it's not really a Cricket thing. I'll go with 11. Birthday and all.
Occupation? Student/Dole Bludger
What’s your postage like? Quality over Quantity.
At what point did you realise you weren't going to make it as a professional footballer? Can you tell us a little about your amateur football career or any other sporting career? Evidently I realised this sometime at a very young age, at a very subconcious level, because I've never played any form of Football other than indoor. Played a lot of cricket, was a RF bowler, who could swing a bat. Highest score of 85*, best bowling figures of 6/30. Got cut off by Back Problems before I could take it any further than local district level.
Where are the burgers better? Hungry Jacks, by far.
Tasty Beverage? Alcoholic - Scotch Non Alcoholic - Sunkist
FM, FIFA or PES? FM >>> PES >>>>>>>> FIFA
Who do you go to the football with? Depends. Generally with the Girlfriend. Quote:Celtic Favourite Celtic player?Artur Boruc, by a couple of lightyears. Currently?Gary Hooper, the new Macca Greatest Celtic game?That I watched? Celtic 1-0 United at Parkhead. Pretty much summed up everything that was great about our side at the time. Fortress like defence at home to the best of sides, a stunning FK from the Japanese God that is Nakamura, and Artur Boruc pulling off a superb penalty save to keep our lead. Favourite Celtic memory?Probably the above, but also, Sitting up early in the morning, watching us beat AC Milan 2-1, again at Parkhead. Not only was it a great win, but it confirmed for me just how connected I felt with the club. That, and it was the birth of my worship for the hero that was Scotty Macca. Worst Celtic memory?Probably losing 1-0 to Rangers last season. Was an example of everything that was wrong with the Mowbray side. Lacked everything up front, were under pressure all night, and then conceded in injury time, to all but seal Rangers' title. Funniest Celtic memory?Seeing Gordon Strachan celebrate a goal for the first time as manager. The man goes absolute nuts and covers nearly half the sideline at full sprint. Favourite Celtic goal?Nakamura's first ever Old Firm goal. Words cannot describe, so I'll just post a YT vid. Wait for the camera view from directly behind him, and see how much that ball moves. Just incredible. [youtube]CnFkfukSqSA[/youtube] The Away Game?Being a Brisbane Lions supporter in Melbourne, every game I go to is an Away Game. I love it. I love being in enemy territory, I love the abuse you can cop, I love being outnumbered, and I love it when you win so you can shove it up the home fans. Active Support or the silent tactical analyst?Depends where I am. If I'm sitting at home, a mixture of both. If I'm at the ground, silence goes out the window. Watching a game live is one of the most emotionally draining experiences you can have IMO. UK or European Terrace Culture?UK. Favourite Chant?Oh Artur Boruc wrote:Oh Artur Boruc, the holy goalie he hates the huns. he blesses himself at Ibrox and the huns went of their nut he waves the champions flag cause he doesnt give a fuck. he's off his fucking rocker and he sings god bless the pope. Quote: And the rest
Favourite non Celtic player? Technically Artur Boruc, but a player who has never played for Celtic: Zlatan Ibrahimović
Favourite other clubs? Bristol Rovers, Brisbane Lions, Vic Bushrangers.
The club you hate but secretly admire? Rangers. They are Blue scum, but they're suffering from the same problems we do, and I know how much that sucks.
Club or Country? Club. I've never been one for National Patriotism.
Other hobbies/sports/interests? Music is my life. I think I'd kill myself if I was deaf. Love most sports. Enjoy reading and writing, though I never have the time anymore.
Ideal woman? Short/Average height, Red Hair, Nice Legs, Smart, and must like similar music.
Where would you take lady on a first date? Gotta be somewhere you can talk, and actually learn about each other, so never a Movie or a Concert, unless it includes Dinner/Lunch beforehand.
If you could be anybody else for a day, who would you be? Hayley Williams. Just out of interest:lol:
What Film/TV/Cartoon character are you most like, not who you want to be but best representation? Probably Homer. I'm fairly lazy, say stupid things, drink a lot, but I mean well.
Quote:Celtic
Thoughts on the tenure of Neil Lennon as manager? He's done about as well as you can expect. He's winning games, and his signings so far have been good. There's not much more you can ask of him. I'd have still liked the club to have looked for somone a bit higher up, there were some good names we could have canvassed, but there was nothing wrong with taking the safe option either. He's got the support of the club and the players, and that's the main thing.
Out of two European competitions in successive ties, how big of a blow was that or was it good to focus on running down Rangers? For me, that was a pretty big blow. We should be doing better than that, simple as. Only 3 seasons ago we were making the KO stages of the ECL. That's the level we should be at. That's the level that should be expected of us. We need to get over this mentality that winning the League or a Domestic cup is good enough. We should be looking beyond that.
Whose done well this Season for Celtic and exceeded expectations? Gary Hooper has been superb for us, as has Shaun Maloney. But the best in my mind, has been the Bearded Messi, Paddy McCourt. He's had to step up to fill Aiden McGeady's place, and he's doing a magnificent job. Running past 4 defenders and scoring incredible solo goals helps too:p
Thoughts on the various Scottish League proposals, such as the two tiered SPL currently under review, and Celtic joining a North Sea league or join the English League pyramid? Anything that helps Scottish Football become bigger and better is fine by me. The Two-Tiered SPL has it's good points, but I don't think it's the way to go. Playing the same opponent 4 times in a season is killing the interest in the SPL, and so it's a bigger First Division that needs to be created. I think the SPL's best bet is to focus on something similar to the EPL, at least in terms of size. But then, wether there's the depth of talent in teams to make this an even competition, is extremely doubtful. Something has to be changed though, because Scottish Football is slowly dying a very painful death. I'm also all for the Old Firm joining the English Leagues, because I believe it is the only way forward for both clubs to continue to grow. Not only would it be better for the clubs, but for Scottish Football as a whole, as well. Quote: FFA
What's the biggest issue facing Australian football at the moment? The survival of the A-League. Without a proffesional football league in the country, Football will die off within the decade IMO.
What would you bring to the league if you we're Buckley for a day? Drop all other plans, provide a clear cut ruling on the future of NQ, and spend all available money of promotion and support of the A-League. Forget WC bids, forget new stadiums, because none of that is going to matter if the A-League goes under.
Quote: User Questions
Why Bristol Rovers? They were top of the list of available clubs in Fifa07 (I think). One long career later and I'm a fan:p
Are Sydney fans real or unreal as afro suggest, possibly some sort of Bladerunner FFA Replicant? No Sydney Fans are real, I've met them, and for around 270 minutes of each season, I am one8-[
Are the rumours that implicate you in a series of Blatter-style bribes for your moderation powers true? And what do you have to say to such allegations? KA made a very strong request that I become a moderator, and [size=3]let's just say it moved me...[/size] [size=7]TO A BIGGER HOUSE[/size]. Oh Shit.
Who would you seriously turn gay for if there is actually any one? Probably the guy who plays Dean in Supernatural. Or Johnny Depp.
Enter Shikari or ADTR? At this point in time, Enter Shikari. Between 5 and 5:40pm next friday, ADTR.
Can you post a screenshot of what being a mod looks like? It's not that different. We just have some extra buttons, like 'Move Topic' 'Delete Topic' 'Lock Topic' 'Delete Scouse_Roar' etc.
You and Afro went to high school together, elaborate on this time in your life. (I would like some content that would be at home in "this is your life" with Mike Munro) I was actually on in one class with Afro, and that was in Year 10. German. We spent most of the time discussing different car brands and other motoring points.
Was banning POAKTZI the best ban ever? At this stage yes. But there are some that will be more enjoyable, if they ever happen.
AFL or Football (soccer or whatever you want to call it) AFL till I die.
Have you been to New Zealand? No, but it's deffinitely on the list.
If you could ban a regular in ET for no reason who would you? Afro. Personally don't think he should have been allowed back in the first place.
Miley Cyrus: Hot or not? Borderline Not, but yeah, I would.
Can I sign up for this pleaasseeee? Sounds like great fun! No. Feck off.
How did you come up with your 442 name? I dunno. I thought it sounded funny at the time. I'd change it if I could.
Why did you choose the Brisbane Lions? Born and Bred Fitzroy Lions supporter. So when the Merger happened, it was a natural path to follow.
Is simpsons the best show ever created? No, that would be Top Gear.
Favorite premier league team? Tottenham Hotspurs.
Did you ever discover who made the stuff appear on the top of your roof? Nope. It never came back eithr. Terrifying stuff IMO.
Do you own a H2O vac yet? No. Slowly convincing the GF. She has all the money.
Moreover, have you ever experienced an inexplicable late night urge to Zumba? Thankfully, No.
In 20 words or less recount the events around the death of JFK. JKF in car. Sniper on Grassy Knoll. Guy in building framed. Conspiracy? Nah.
Please explain string theory in 20 syllables or less. All of Space is made up of vibrating strings.
Why haven't you adopted an A-League team so to speak? I've tried. I'm trying to follow the Heart, but I just don't feel a connection, and can't honestly say I care about the club.
Why Funky Munky, why? Coz I'm Awesome, that's why.
5 people you want to invite to dinner? Kumar Sangakkara Leigh Matthews Jeff Ling Mick McCarthy David Wong
Your favourite species of the monkey? Why? Whatever kind of Monkey it is in Pirates of the Caribbean. Because they're awesome, and I want one as a pet.

Can you agree that when Alex Brosque came on for Sydney against Brisbane on the weekend he made a huge positive difference to the team?
