Didn't Recoba say something similar about Uruguay's chances in 2005. We all know what happen there!!!!

Birthright is such an old way of thinking!!!!

My grandfather was in the army, my dad was in te army, my brother is in the army & hence I will also join the army!!!!

That is why you are so plastic and will soon be recycled into cleaning detergent! :lol:

To be fair

SMFC does have a birthright

The franchises were 2-D printed in a lawyers office

No, but it's pretty plastic to just support a handful of teams because of a tenuous temporary connection.

The only recent one that comes to mind is Vellios, but he was pretty awful.

You see, even the chairs are plastic! :lol:

It's called tribalism.

It doesn't exist in the plastic world of A League.

Just wait for the 3D version.

It's not far off now.

you wont let your family attend matches? wind up or not that sounds serial killerish

Since they are young kids playing U6s, I think it's still my call to make.

I am bringing them up to not like plastic things. :lol:

Supporting a large set of successful clubs and trying to justify it after the fact, while changing alliances regularly is the very definition of being a plastic. You are the archetype case of being a plastic.

so your entire family consists of young kids who are under 6 years old? some family you got there:lol:

Wifey only wants to watch the kids play.

I haven't changed alliances regularly.

My teams have been life long.

AUFC got a brief run off the bench last season but has now been dropped because it's too plastic!

Have they now. Didn't you suggest your cousin played for Everton being the reason. Either your cousin was playing them them when you were born (I'm unaware of any Greek players for Everton in the era 25-35 years ago) or they're fairly new for your "lifelong list".

You gave so little of a care about the Hellas that you just added them today to replace the "off the bench" AUFC.

The best thing about plastics is how hard they feel they have to argue to pretend they're not. You're a plastic, there's nothing wrong with that (except by your own attacks right now), you need to learn to accept who you are.

Aikhme
you want WAHellas and Adelaide city to merge ? to what ? to form a composite team which will enter the A league
isnt that what AUFC is , a composite team formed for Adelaide ?
i dont get it... they are plastic ? if so wont the new team be plastic as well ? i

Their problem isn't plastics, it's that they want to have something that makes them feel special.

Lifelong fans usually only care about plastics if they're taking their spot, as they are generally a good thing for clubs. Plastics lead to more lifelong fans, more income for the club, and a stronger future, usually people complaining, particularly complaining about the nebulous idea of a "plastic league" are people who lack their own footballing identify and are desperately trying to denigrate something to make their own niche. Most of the time (i.e. this case), these people are plastics themselves.

Need a thread where 'plastic' is defined

I don't think a merger is on the cards. West Adelaide and Adelaide City will continue but both are looking into forming a joint venture if you like.

There is a major disconnect between the NPL and the A League.

Junior fees are at a record level. I paid $1,000 for 2 kids to play U6. And the money is being thrown at AUFC.

Many fans, have been excluded. Yes so many attend, but they don't feel the same and then there is the more hardcore that just won't attend.

The NPL is being neglected despite it being the grassroots engine room.

I also believe there will be benefits to AUFC. The rivalry will be intence, and I believe the new entity will have a big supporter base from the NPL teams.

AUFC is not popular in the NPL, or West Adelaide and Adelaide City.

I will come up with a Glossary to define the terms and I will even provide a sliding scale for you! :lol:

Stifles gonna do something? :lol:

I'm a South Melbourne nut myself now living on the sunshine coast, initially i didn't like the A league but after ten years, and despite its shortcomings, its actually pretty good. And there's hope that new-Lowy gets the benefit of integrating top to bottom through P/R so mate, drop the plastic BS and climb on board again :)

Oh for crying out loud. I've been following them for 20 odd years, and West Adelaide, Apoel, and Lazio since I was a boy.

AUFC got a run off the bench last year but has been dropped.

Absolutely!

Good luck to SMFC!

If SMFC enetr before the West Adelaide and Adelaide City going concern, then I will support them too, because they are not plastic.

The NPL will cease to be "less plastic" when it introduces P/R to the leagues below it and stops demanding something from the HAL that it's not prepared to implement itself. and I watch more NPL-Q each year than i do HAL

There is promotion and relegation. At least in the NPLSA there is.

To be fair, most other State NPLs have pro/rel to at least one level below it, and some many more.

Queensland is one of only a few that don't.

The only person that seems plastic is you mate for jumping ship from one club to another just for shits and giggles.

So ur no longer supporting Adelaide United because they changed their logo?? Right oh then.

So, like a plastic you change teams that easily. Good'oh.
