Please Greek-TCers, is this true or is Kouta being a phallus (φαλλος).



It is standard fare in the "Plaka".


But there is debate on whether it was introduced as a sop to the American Tourists or a Greek Invention.


Lets just call it "Fusion Cuisine". :P

Kouta met with Denis on numerous occasions.

Denis new exactly how Kouta and the playing group felt.

Bang on all you like about how Kouta is evil for Carlton. The board, Denis, the players and supporters all knew what was going on.

So many flower hypocrits on this site bagged Denis mercilessly over a long period. Now someone who earned shitloads of $ playing for our club calls it as it was and you bag him too - pure jealousy - he earnt too much therefore he deserves derision :roll:

I wonder what Ratts thinks of how Denis treated players at our club?

I wonder what Greg Williams thinks of how Denis treated players at our club?

I wonder what Michael Sexton thinks of how Denis treated players at our club?

I wonder what Fraser Brown thinks of how Denis treated players at our club?

Actually, I know what these guys think. And they know what many of our list over the past 5 years thought also.


Quick, there's a chance to bag a Carlton player - jump on board it's great fun. As you do, forget all the things you said about the past 5 years - none of it matters - you can log on - slag off a player for saying what so many have already said and feel good about yourself. It doesn't matter, you are hiding behind a keyboard.

Kouta is such a turd for calling it as it was :roll:

Obviously we would have been better off keeping Denis and ploughing on.

Go Blues.


I think you might be missing the point that many have made Ockham. I don't know what any of Ratten, Williams, Sexton or Brown feel about Pagan because none of them made a media song and dance about it in order to line their pockets.

It was an unnecessary act. No-one's denying his right to do it but that doesn't mean that many of us are happy about it.

The club's done amazingly well to put the last five years behind it this year and Kouta releasing his book is just dredging it all up again.

We've had a good run of positive stories lately and now this. If it was of some benefit to the club (wanna donate the proceeds Kouta?) then fine but the only person who is benefitting from this is Anthony Koutoufides and it's an event that has once again allowed the rest of the football world to focus on the dysfunctional nature of the club's recent history.

That's not leadership - it's self-interest.

Defend him all you like - it's just a shame that he couldn't bring himself to ride off into the sunset quietly as others have done and be remembered for his football rather than this.

Koutoufides must've struck some amzing deal with the best publisher in the world if he making this supposed fortune from his books sales, especially considering he is a first time author writing a one-off autobiography for a very limited market.

The man is a genius.

It's not just a Greek thing, some other cultures do it as well (very common in Israel for instance, only there a souvlaki is called a shwarma :-D ). Where it originated from I don't know, perhaps omeone else can enlighten us


Greeks invented everything .. :wink:

And Greece wants the marbles back... cos thats all they are in the British museum... marbles.. in Greece theyre part of the Parthenon...and not just marbles...

Give them back... :twisted:


jarusa... where did you find that word?

Verbs you fool no-one. IMO you are just arguing for the sake of it. Normally you have some conviction in your posts but these are just 'token gestures' to bait a few posters.

Uh, no. One of my interests is history. I love to research the history of where I live, and where I have lived. I also consume biographies by the truck load. Contemporary biographies are considered "living history" ie., history one has actually lived through as opposed to history about a time well before yours.

And one of my other interests just so happens to be the Carlton Football Club, thus I am certainlylooking forward to reading Kouta's book.

I have also made a number of documentaries, some of them history based, including material which has aired on the History Channel. I am well aware of the concept of bias...absolutely every piece of media contains a measure of bias.

I thought he was making the point that Kouta was making a pretty weak money grab (if that is, in fact, his intention)?

My mum recently published her first book, with a much wider audience scope than Kouta's with potential for ongoing publishing opportunities.

If Kouta is looking to make a fortune (or to be honest, much money at all), there are much better options available to him, which he is no doubt very well aware of.

I'm sure you'll get a members discount from Kouta when you part with your thirty five dollars for this book. :lol:

Maybe you can read it at the newsagency, that's the sort of place that will sell it.

I'm sure you believe Koutoufides will receive all of that $35.00.

Though I suppose $35 is a lot when on Centrelink.

Wrong... wrong.. and wrong...
Numbers were wrtten in Greek... but a different numbers... unless Pythagoras was a mathematician who worked without numbers?? :lol:
Alphabet... it would be otally different if not for the Greeks..
Long distance travel?... colonies in Africa India Afganistan Italy France Russia Georgia Egypt Turkey Iran and Iraq .. suggest otherwise.
Also a Greek had been to Britain before the Romans....

As for food...wrong and wrong agan...Stff like cummin ...safron..and even the word wine "Oinos" ..6500 years ago...were first Greek..

But keep kidding yourself..

Oh and by the way Napalm was invetned by Greek over a thousand years ag. (Greek Fire)...The Italian art schools were essentially started up by Greeks after the Ottomon invasion.. pulled Europe out of the Dark Ages..


I feellike the old man on My Big Fat Greek Wedding...
Bt it all traces itself back to Greece.. and the marbles must be returned by those thieving Poms... :wink:

If you call putting up scaffolding around the Parthenon, and hacking the friezes straight from the top of the columns loading them up in a boat in the dead of night and sailing back to London - finders keepers. :roll:
