Our friends over at the Unholy Union coined the nickname "Old Serbian" for recently signed Philadelphia Union striker/central attack midfielder Veljko Paunovic on Twitter tonight. Thinking it was perfect in its simplicity and non-subtlety biting nature, both Philly Soccer Page and I thought it was suitable for a hash tag 'campaign' on Twitter.
The following tweets are pulled from the one hour long craze that was #OldSerbian. Enjoy.
When former MLS all stars won't do, i choose #oldserbian
When Paunovic started his career, Serbia was fighting the Austro-Hungarian Empire for Independence #oldserbian
The least that Paunovic could've done is hit Hassli with his cane #oldserbian
I don't always play strikers, but when I do, I choose #oldserbian #dosEquisJokesNotDoingIt?
#oldserbian is worse than Ruiz... and that says something.
Not sure I saw Paunovic at all in the first half. No wonder Vancouver is up by one... @PhilaUnion were only playing with 10 men. #oldserbian
@brotherlygame @UnholyUnionblog @AndrewStoltzfus funny you say thet #OLDserbian is OLD news too...
#oldserbian is older than the Ottoman Empire
@brotherlygame , ask #oldserbian what the Bolshevik Revolution was like...I love first hand accounts of history.
@brotherlygame apparently MLS has an AARP requirement cause #oldserbian is still in
@brotherlygame @UnholyUnionblog we should call the #oldserbian Paun star...
Know what's awesome? Not Paunovic. #oldserbian
Nice to see MLS allowed the union to let the #oldserbian bring a wheelchair on the pitch #greasedlightning
Paunovic runs like a young gazelle. A young gazelle that's been mortally wounded by a hungry lion. #oldserbian
#oldserbian fell....what does that say
Is #oldserbian equal to young child?
Starting to have pity on the #oldserbian he just fell down tryin to cross....hey Peter #MERCY take him off
@UnholyUnionblog send him for a candybar in the airport and tell him to take the #oldserbian with him @brotherlygame
Please get the #oldserbian off the damned pitch. If you can drop him out of the plane on the way home, that'll be ok too.
#oldserbian sucks #Union
Bedtime for our #oldserbian
#oldserbian played 59 minutes too much #Union #DOOP
I sad that #oldserbian isnt a playmaker. Can we please sign one now? Pretty please?
Someone tell #oldserbian what time the plane leaves so he can check his sundial
#oldserbian was called off because his shift as the whitecaps landskeeper just started.
Canadian radio announcer: Pahoonovic "very good", "a playmaker". #oldserbian
The #oldserbian is not the issue, you're out of your element Nowak
