In the realm where green fields stretch and gleam,
A figure rises, woven in the dream,
His name is Angel, bold upon the field,
A single try, his glory thus revealed.
With fervent pride, he claims his rightful place,
The greatest Raider, none can match his grace.
Yet, behind the triumph, shadows softly creep,
A tale of hubris, buried deep in sleep.
With golden hair, his bride stands by his side,
A union forged in laughter, love, and pride.
Yet, in the shadows of the academic fray,
Three failures mark his path at the CIT.
Yet still he climbs, through ranks of public sway,
With “It’s a mathematical certainty,” his play.
The phrase, a shield against the truth’s harsh light,
For in his heart, the numbers twist and bite.
Oh, Angel, legend in your lunchtime lore,
What drives the man behind the grandiose score?
For confidence masks the doubts that lie beneath,
A bravado worn like armour, though it sheathes.
And in your manifesto, words unkind,
A chilling echo of a fractured mind.
For hatred sown against the roots of earth,
Diminishes the worth of one’s own birth.
So let us ponder, in this fleeting game,
The legacy we craft, the paths we claim.
For greatness, dear Angel, is not in the try,
But in the love we nurture, the bonds that tie.
In fields of green where legends rise and fall,
True valour lies in empathy for all.
Let the heart be greater than the fleeting fame,
And in that truth, we find a truer name.
Angel Marina is nothing more than a pretend footy star. According to his own wiki page he played less than one full season of first grade football for the Canberra Raiders. He had one lucky afternoon against an under strength St George team. He was dropped from first grade for the simple reasons that he couldn’t run, catch or kick. What a as his point?
Angel Marina is 100% fake. His alleged NRL career is fake, he played first grade for the Canberra Raiders for about half of the first season, that’s it. The rest, reserve grade. His so called hat trick against St George, was against an under strength St George team, Angel Marina was never able to repeat his “hat trick”, that’s because, he couldn’t actually play the game with any degree of skill.
His professional career was laughable having failed first year accounting three times at the Canberra Institute of Technology. That’s a feat in itself.
Don’t get me started on his racism and his 9 May, 2002 unhinged racist rant.
Angel Marina “footy legend” more like Angel Marina one of life’s genuine failures ???
Angel Marina is a loser of the first order. He’s incredibly dumb, added to which, he’s a fake sports hero.
I look up this person online and was surprised to find that they have a Wiki page and that they are male. Funny, a male with a girls name. Did Angel write his own Wiki page? It sounds like he did. This blog has a lot about him. Did he really write that made racist letter from May, 2002? It needs more exposure.
Angel Marina is an ugly dumb cunt who is well known at Erambi from his 7 game NRL career. The way he carries on, you would think that he is the greatest NRL player of all time. The reason he hates blackfullas is because he sat on the bench game after game, season after season boiling over in anger as younger and better Indigenous players got a run in preference to him. He is an ugly, hateful and vengeful person.
Angel Marina is a racist piece of shit. So is Jon Stanhope who refused to deal with Canberra Raiders all time great ??? Angel Marina ??? for writing his racist bull shit letter in 2002. Uncle Mark showed Marina compassion because he still had school aged kids. Marina responded by doubling down on his racism.
Angel Marina is a racist cunt. Read his 9 May, 2002 letter it says it all. Why Australia’s human rights guru Jon Stanhope didn’t insist in Angel Marina being disciplined is beyond me. A case of white racists protecting other white racists.
No arguments from me cuz. Angel Marina is a racist cunt!!
Nice poem. Too nice for a tosser like Angel Marina. The truth is, Angel Marina really was rubbish as a footy player. His so called glory days are all in his head.
This fuck wit’s racism has destroyed an entire Indigenous family. Everything about this fuck wit is fake, especially his joke of an NRL career, a career that never was. The worst thing about this saga is that white police officers in the Australian Federal Police closed ranks to protect their white supremacist crony. This is disgusting institutional racism.
I moved in similar circles to Angel Marina when he played for the Raiders. The truth is, he was a mediocre, at best, player. Back then, he had a seriously negative attitude to Indigenous people.
Angel I don’t know if you’re smart enough to grasp the meaning of these words, but if you are, you should thank them yo heart.
“And in your manifesto, words unkind,
A chilling echo of a fractured mind.
For hatred sown against the roots of earth,
Diminishes the worth of one’s own birth.”
Interesting poem my friend. I still can’t believe that the ACT government And the Australian Federal Police went to such lengths to shield a loser like Angel Marina from legal accountability for his racism.
There’s much more going on than meets the eye. The reason the police can’t/won’t act is because Angel Marina is simply the front man for something else. We know that the alleged email chain with the University of London is bogus, and that he wasn’t actually part of the exchange. I have confirmation of that from the University. The problem is, who has been pulling Angel’s strings. He’s been used by someone, I’m not sure if he’s figured that out yet??
It’s been obvious for a long time that a number of people in the ACT Department of Treasury, including Tu Pham and Angel Marina have been lying. What is more concerning, is the manipulations of evidence coming from the Solicitor General’s office.
This Angel Marina sounds like a very immature and nasty man.
Anyone of a certain vintage who lived in Canberra will probably have heard of Angel Marina. My personal experience of the man; he’s an incompetent braggart. Nothing up top. His footy career, such as it was, was laughable. Angel Marina lives his fantasy life over lunch, then reverts to the reality of sub-mediocre.
The dude is a legend in his own mind, which is a tiny space for such an inflated ego to inhabit.
Marc I think that we all know that the ACT public service is a cesspool of lies, corruption and racism. Tu Pham and Angel Marina were both high achieving employees in the corruption, racism and lying polls.
Marina, high achieving? I guess if you evade accountability for failing to do your job, undermining your boss and assaulting him and his wife in public, then you could be considered an achiever of sorts.
The only things that Angel Marina was ever good at was whinging and white anting. He had no qualifications and really he was a lousy NRL player.
Kelly this Angel Marina sounds like a mindless thug who has never achieved at anything in life, he obviously tries to hide his failures behind his fake macho image.
Polina that sounds like a fair assessment to me.
Angel Marina is a racist fuckwit, who played on his faux sporting “achievements” to hide the fact that he’s actually an uneducated, unqualified, incompetent fool.
Angel Marina is ugly inside and out. For someone who can’t run, kick or catch, he certainly had a high opinion of himself. Don’t let me get started on his racism and sexism. He really is a waste of space.
Angel Marina fake footy star, fake competent public servant, racist, and mates with the oinks. What a man, what a star, what a wanker.
The public Interest Disclosure that Meredith Whitten signed as being received on 19 December, 2003 wasn’t actually completed until January 2004. The letter from Gillian Morphett at Ernst and Young was backdated. All of the communication with the University of London was done by Tu Pham. She was in an absolute panic when she received the letter from Bradley Allen on the 18th December, 2003, that’s when she hatched her scheme. Despite her lies, manipulations and racism, Jon Stanhope appointed her as Auditor General. It was Peter Garrisson who planted the false affidavit in your ACAT file. The whole thing was a scheme designed by Peter Garrisson to pervert the course of justice.
That’s why the Intact servers allegedly became corrupted for exactly this period, to stop a proper investigation into the criminal conspiracy Tu Pham and Angel Marina entered into.
I have the counterpart email chain from the University of London. Guess whose name is on the real chain, and whose name isn’t on the chain?
This is a true criminal conspiracy, but the Australian Federal Police won’t deal with it, because they are part of it.
InTact can hide, but email headers don’t lie. Professional analysis of the chain in of emails in Marina’s PID show that the second last was sent before the final email. The email chain is bogus, the PID is a fabrication. See https://youtu.be/tcTmIM9mRHs?si=3T6KSh1QncqA854_
It’s disgusting what Tu Pham did, using Angel Marina as her stooge, it’s even more disgusting that Australian Federal Police Commander Rowena Penfold brought into it, and became an active participant in the fit up and the cover up.
Angel Marina and Tu Pham conspired to fit up an Indigenous public servant. Why? Because Angel Marina is a hardcore racist and Tu Pham is hardcore incompetent.
Tu Pham and Angel Marina sound like really nasty people. They destroyed an entire family to cover up racism and incompetence. Disgusting.
I lived in Canberra when the issues between the Indigenous Commissioner for Revenue and Angel Marina were playing out. Angel Marina could hardly contain his racism. His attitude after the Commissioner got sacked by Tu Pham, using Angel Marina’s false Public Interest Disclosure as a pretext, still leaves me feeling sick. Both Angel Marina and Tu Pham should be charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice, which they have successfully done to date.
Brilliant characterisation of Angel Marina, you’ve picked out his defining features, in my opinion, dumb and unattractive. Love it.
