Official South Melbourne Hellas thread 🔵⚪

[Monoethnic Social Club]

Yes, but there comes a point where it starts being disrespectful and derails conversation. It’s a 30 day ban anyway not a full one and only this thread.

Fair enough mate, su casa, su rules....

Personally I dont care one way or the other, the bloke is obviously either bucket boy or one of his cronies.... hating on Hellas is the ultimate compliment in my eyes.

Dam, i enjoyed his banter haha, bring back sthforrel

Didn't get to watch the game as I'm away, was it a good game?

Forgot to mention there was a great showing from the Oakleigh faithful last night... must be because of the form you are in? I counted at least 22 people celebrating your penalties... not counting the players or the bench either... very impressive.

 

[Monoethnic Social Club]

Oakleigh has cafes for tourists.

The North has the real stuff.

Medallions closed nearly 2 decades ago ... NOTHING will ever come close.

... yeah but it had been dying for 5-6 years by then, was even a souvlaki joint at one stage..... once the barakia died Medallions was never the same..... what shame, still remember going with the family on Sundays for an ice cream spider (always lime or blue heaven) and a tiropita before going to Middle Park for the match

Another fond memory the morning Greece beat France in 2004 the place was overflowing, easy 1500 in a place licensed for 200.... every screen kept showing Charisteas goal over and over again on loop and EVERY single time we cheered like it had just happened, stayed there for at least 6 hours that day ..... magic.

Todays generation will never understand, Lonsdale st was also a popular meeting point for South supporters before heading to middle park or the original bob jane in the nsl days. When i was a kid SBS would frequently film at Lonsdale because pretty much all the shop owners and customers were Hellas supporters. Thats before you even get into the night life of lonsdale/russell st. 2004 Euros was a fitting farewell.

That shithole Oakleigh will never compare.

Hahahaha it was probably the players/staff family members

Atleast our numbers are growing! If we win a few more championships, maybe we'll pull crowd numbers like Melbourne city haha.

Oakleigh is just easier for us that live out in the south east. Maybe back in the 90s it was awesome going to medallion, i even have memories going there too, but with the amount of traffic on the road these days and the parking situation, I'd rather go to Oakleigh than venture out to the city.

If you live out in the sticks (west suburbs) or in skidrow/Compton (north suburbs) then i feel sorry for you

My suburb has 4 souvlaki joints and Greek cafes/cake shops/grocery stores in every surrounding suburb. No need to go to the soon to be little beijing/mumbai for a Greek fix lol.

Ah is that the suburb that's been overtaken by colourful haired people with their soy latte and tofu bean vegan burgers and souvlakis? Won't be long before you're coming down to oakleigh for authentic Greek food

Not that suburb but not far, but hey at least they're colourful and we still have the Italians here as well

Oakleigh is to Greek food what lygon now is to Italian. Tourist trap food, once that first Chinese place opens in the mall its curtains

The fish n chip shop is Indian owned and so is Orexi now. Kati Alo is about to close down.

The fish and chip shop has fallen to pieces everyone’s going up the road to the new joint on Atkinson across Princess Highway. Place is pumping. The blokes who runs it is a huge South supporter and well known in the football scene. The Greeks are dying out anyways. I give it three years before a kinesiko or halal food store opens up. Caffe Greco is doing its balls in after how much they spent to get it up and running, and given most people haven’t been impressed with prices they won’t last.

Oakleigh will die like Lonsdale Street and lose its charm. After all how long can people keep paying $7.50 for Freddo Espressos, heck Freddocinos are now $9 at Nikos.

Record low jersey night I heard. Another embarrassing derby result. How South have let Oakleigh become what they are is an indictment to their mismanagement. Aki works his ass off running up and down Oakleigh for sponsors. Our board scratch their balls and do nothing. Go figure. Bill Papa must be happy with Heidelberg after all his sabotage job at South has been stellar

Fans don’t get invited anymore to jersey nights and other club functions

 

[southmelb]

Its a private boys club at South now, did anyone know about the jersey night before they saw it on facebook?

The fact we havent had the AGM yet is staggering.

I think most ppl have allowed the last few weeks to slide, but the boards indifference towards the supporters and failure to beat Port Melbourne on Sunday and it may reach a tipping point between the fans and the big wigs up in the balcony.

Does Siki even survive if we lose to Port? What a mess.

Also hearing word that if Fornaroli does choose to continue his career in the npl, he will likely choose Oakleigh over us, especially as his son is in the juniors there. Other possible free agent signings are also said to have fallen through.

Pray for Bonadas hammies, groin etc because thats our last shot at survival.

For everyone sake i hope theses free agent signings don’t fall through knowing us we probably don’t want to pay massive wages we desperately need signings so pay no questions asked

Any new rumours of who theses signings are

I wouldn't get my hopes up, i highly doubt a player like fornaroli would come to little league teams like ours. If he doesn't continue at victory, he'd probably either retire or try his luck overseas, but I'd definitely love to see him in the npl.
