Not sure. There's no way he should have picked up two bookings. The first was a joke and the free kick he gave away before the second booking should have gone his way. The ref was abysmal last night, some of his decsions were so dodgy I reckon he was paid off. Not by enough obviously though!

Well, its all about getting to the final.... and now winning it. I think the toughest match will be the final. Dick Advocaat?? Hmm, he might come back to haunt you.

Fernando Ricksen as well if he plays. Smith's the undisputed king of Ibrox for me though.

Yeah I admire Smith. He's a very smart guy. The difference in reactions between the two managers last night was funny. Smith looked like he'd seen it all before (as he has). It would have been nice if he had a bigger impact at United when he was there in 2004 (although he does have an FA cup medal thank you Walter). I think Zenit have better quality players and will pass it better than Rangers. But, Rangers have Whittacker lol. I was laughing my head off when he scored that goal against Sporting. It was like Real Madrid v Dag and Red.

Smith was only at United for a few months, him and Ferguson are old friends.
I've given Whittaker pelters earlier in the season but he's got some skills. He'll benefit from playing in a more attacking side next season.

lol, did someone have one too many Cokes last night?

I can't talk, have been sipping champagne all lunch hour due to someone at work celebrating being made partner, and as many people drive in, that leaves quite a bit of champagne to drink, especially when they buy a magnum!

I have filled out my online application, now just need to submit and upload documents. Won't be doing that until next week though. The race is on! :thumbsup:

How calm do YOU sound!??!!??:eek: But how do you FEEL now you've come to the end of the long wait - you are an Augustee, right, like me?? Off to Sydney too, soon as poss!! Waiting for my magic e-mail, any day now??..... keep in touch!! PS you anywhere near Wimbledon?? Scuba Steve is arranging a meet:thumbsup:
Calm?? I was almost in tears! Seriously. I've been pretty random all week talking complete sh!te to anybody who'll listen. And yep an augustee - a long old wait huh - you can't have long now either I'm sure. I don't want to rub it in, but it does feel fantastic. I've been wanting to go back since my whv yr back in 02 so to be able to finally pull the pin and go for it is cool - best thing is when the passport comes back with the visa!! (Worst part if when your mates pretend - badly - to be happy for you...feels a bit tricky now but I'll get over it).

Sharon: Cool there are more of us - woolloomooloo's nice - although woollahra's even nicer if that's too cheap... Basically anywhere close to a surfable beach/commutable to the cbd area will make me happy - thinking manly to begin with as lived in bondi junction for 9 months before and loved visiting the northern beaches.

Just back from weekend down in saunton actually. Surf wasn't great but ok - the vibe there is always nice. Just can't wait to be able to replace the 4/5 hour journeys to the coast with a quick stroll for a surf. And no wetsuit in the summer!

And I'll definitley keep in touch. I'm looking to go around mid june so all please feel totally free to contact me at any time here/there. And I'm in east dulwich so wimbledon is pretty close - let me know when. Stay cool. Jason

Hi!! No more waiting for me and I WAS in tears - I got my visa on Friday!!!! STILL in shock!!! My brother bought a magnum of champagne - unheard of!! My sis here is sad, but trying her best, offering to set up a car boot etc.....


Have you booked flight yet?? We are hoping to get out end of July/beg Aug and will start off in Harbord, near Freshwater Beach - you'll know it, I should think.

Shall we try and set a date for meet?? Sharon has been checking out venues!!
