+x+x+x+x+x+x+xin a way i kind of like not being a football nation....imagine how nauseating we'd do football if the likes of eddie mcguire, that brayshaw wa nker who does the afl and cricket, or that boofhead who screams during the NRL Andy Harper? lol If only this guy was still around we’d be saved https://youtu.be/e28b4kePkH4?si=N7hK7qSgUE4uj56C haha good ol nrl dazza, was a heart attack listenning to him but a man from the street - actually a bogan pre CCM coastie MSC right into nrl. Used to give you migranes hearing him but his adrenaline was epic of the ol aussie way. I could stomach some of the bogan nrl commentators unlike the southern eggball ones who think they are great. Christ I luv how this thread hardly following its title LOL - very ethnic wog like no ? :) but it has a good feel about it amongst passionate football supporters, where's that group hug emoji. Passion is always good, the Anglos are scared of it, the wife just thinks chill man. BABOOM spot on brother..... There in lies another point of huge diff growing up here with ethnic sangue ! Brits/anglos, never show you cry, or embarrassed for so many years not to sing your ANTHEM with passion ! You are not to show your emotions. I used to wonder as a young fella WTF, you were made out as if your soft cock here back in the day. Now I get it on the playing pitch back in our days, never show you got hurt in that tackle unlike today but regards to your flag, your country sing it loud, feckin cry I luv those feelings and the passion at games. That another early barrier the anglos no like of the ol sochka compared to the 2 codes mentioned incl union. NSL no like the wogs are OTT, then AL crowds going OTT again no like - any troubles the other codes media and commentators gang up on us. Sure I understand and support on the terrible behaviour need to be called out and punished but you know what I'm talking about. I'm a crier with pride depending the circumstance/moment - patriotism is fecked up here. They are witty as hell though. I asked my wife what she had learnt most from me from 30 years of marriage & she said '5 tackles then kick'. Holy shit you must be dynamite in the bedroom ...... hahahah take it easy Its just a joke....

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x[quote]it is a small % of the general pop overall to me but 40k get to swans up here to the real G haha you see that. The other crowd I just checked and as I thought, the other day was a 8k of all places Syd Olympic park that is easy to get to... Mind you that is kind of AL crowd high. Alot of freebie ticks are always thrown out my mate tells me but AL does the same. People like getitng outside, not sure they are all right into afl just that its a day out, bit of a novalty to me. Still mate 40 k to a regualr season game is ALOT more than Storm get down ehre or Aleague in either town ... Whther its a novelty or not their marketing is working. They want a family friendly atmosphere and get it, Aleague doesnt know what it wants to be.... One day its "fish where the fish are", the other its star wars and pride rounds they other its ..."oh look at us we have safe standing and colourful smoke".... They could just concentrate on the football and let each club appeal to whatever type off fan represents them but they would have to break the franchise agreement I suppose first? in the A-League, which is run by the worst run sporting competition in the land, the APL, where there is no marketing, no looking after the fans, no future planning. Yet you get excited about 40K (first game in 6 months for this game) for the best run competition in this country. Maaaattte thats 1 game.... no worries you cant (or more likely refuse) to see my point... OK, nothing to see here all good. What is your point???? That AFL, despite being a hobby and not a sport being played anywhere else in the world, can manage to get very good exposure and attendances in "hostile" markets and yet Aleague (which pretends to represent the most popular sport on the globe) gets pitiful attendance and exposure.... 20 years now and no change in anything... perhaps time to make a change? OK I thought I'd regret asking, but as you said lets leave this here, your hatred knows no bound. Seems like your hatred is growing too Robbo, or is it only hatred when I say it? "The A-League struggles in Sydney, hardly any talk in pubs, cafes & work places. The Pubs even those near the stadium don't show the A-League." Quote by Robbo, Australian Soccer fan since 1974 and defender of the franchise system. Geez comprehension is not your friend. This is not hate, this is losing faith in the APL in running the competition. Dont worry my friend, you wont have to wait too long by the looks of things... Like I said this has been happening for the last 50 years. The football fans are there but the admin are failing it plus those with agendas. Admin has ALWAYS failed the sport here I 100% agree. And agendas too .... only difference is now the agendas are about foreigners making money, back then it was who was the most successful wog in the country.... Yet none of it helped football in this country. Mate the fact that both the NSL and Aleagues EXIST(ED) is the only reason we have a national football competiton in this country. that fact alone makes makes them "help football in this country" Shit admin and nepotistic leagues is no different than 90% of the rest of the world.... There isnt a hell of alot wrong with football here, just need to strengthen the poo of clubs and players and make them strive to be as professional as possible to provide as many playing, admin, coaching opportunities to as many Aussies as we can... all the rest (how much money foreign investors and venture capitalists make) is just bullshit who cares? Well Foreign investors also happened all around the world including some of the biggest leagues in the world. I don't really care foreign or local, what upsets me is when they line their own pockets, again this happens in this country in so many ways both local & foreign & few care about football in this country. If you accept shit admin & nepotism, nothing will change. Depends on what you want out of the game" mate. The best for the game in this country. Be a real footballing nation. What is your definition of a real footballing nation? I would say (not trying to bait you) that Portugal definitely is one wouldn't you? Their FA isnt exactly the paragon of financial virtue or respnsibility... Some of the lower club sides are very poorly run yet they have a culture around football that is enviable.... THATS what I mean. By a footballing nation I mean having a government supporting the sport (which has the highest participants, playing in the biggest sporting events the WCs, Olympics), an unbiased media & treating the sport with respect & not disrespecting it's fans & its culture which will then help them to appeal both Government & Private sponsorship. Pro/reg is something I have always wanted but in country so big but so sparse, but without the money from those afore mentionsed, it's impossible. So apart from Japan can you think of any other countries with your "wish list"? serious question because I cant. France, Germany, England, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Belgium, Brazil. Hey mate, These countries dont have everything as "perfect" as you want. That was my point... Not sure about Belgium to be honest but the other countries have to beg and plead for government assistance as much as we do... The fact that football is the main sport is to their benefit over ours sure, but its not all smiles and roses. Even in good old England the self proclaimed home of football, they constantly have issues with club finances, corruption, fan behaviours in lower levels etc etc.... we are NOT as unique as we think we are.

He was the Wamberal SLSC captain for years. Used to call the weightlifting at the Olympics and the 500cc bikes for Channel 9. At least he had light and shade. Now the NRL and AFL callers go on like chooks when nothing is happening. It's the screaming the commentators do these days that drives me nuts. There's one clown in the EPL that's the worst and here that James Brayshaw clown makes watching the T20 unbearable. Every 6, and there's 4000 in T20, is like someone has just scored the 104th minute winner in the World cup final.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xit is a small % of the general pop overall to me but 40k get to swans up here to the real G haha you see that. The other crowd I just checked and as I thought, the other day was a 8k of all places Syd Olympic park that is easy to get to... Mind you that is kind of AL crowd high. Alot of freebie ticks are always thrown out my mate tells me but AL does the same. People like getitng outside, not sure they are all right into afl just that its a day out, bit of a novalty to me. Still mate 40 k to a regualr season game is ALOT more than Storm get down ehre or Aleague in either town ... Whther its a novelty or not their marketing is working. They want a family friendly atmosphere and get it, Aleague doesnt know what it wants to be.... One day its "fish where the fish are", the other its star wars and pride rounds they other its ..."oh look at us we have safe standing and colourful smoke".... They could just concentrate on the football and let each club appeal to whatever type off fan represents them but they would have to break the franchise agreement I suppose first? The Sydney Derby got 30K in the A-League, which is run by the worst run sporting competition in the land, the APL, where there is no marketing, no looking after the fans, no future planning. Yet you get excited about 40K (first game in 6 months for this game) for the best run competition in this country. Maaaattte thats 1 game.... no worries you cant (or more likely refuse) to see my point... OK, nothing to see here all good. What is your point???? That AFL, despite being a hobby and not a sport being played anywhere else in the world, can manage to get very good exposure and attendances in "hostile" markets and yet Aleague (which pretends to represent the most popular sport on the globe) gets pitiful attendance and exposure.... 20 years now and no change in anything... perhaps time to make a change? OK I thought I'd regret asking, but as you said lets leave this here, your hatred knows no bound. Seems like your hatred is growing too Robbo, or is it only hatred when I say it? "The A-League struggles in Sydney, hardly any talk in pubs, cafes & work places. The Pubs even those near the stadium don't show the A-League." Quote by Robbo, Australian Soccer fan since 1974 and defender of the franchise system. Geez comprehension is not your friend. This is not hate, this is losing faith in the APL in running the competition. Dont worry my friend, you wont have to wait too long by the looks of things... Like I said this has been happening for the last 50 years. The football fans are there but the admin are failing it plus those with agendas. Admin has ALWAYS failed the sport here I 100% agree. And agendas too .... only difference is now the agendas are about foreigners making money, back then it was who was the most successful wog in the country.... Yet none of it helped football in this country. Mate the fact that both the NSL and Aleagues EXIST(ED) is the only reason we have a national football competiton in this country. that fact alone makes makes them "help football in this country" Shit admin and nepotistic leagues is no different than 90% of the rest of the world.... There isnt a hell of alot wrong with football here, just need to strengthen the poo of clubs and players and make them strive to be as professional as possible to provide as many playing, admin, coaching opportunities to as many Aussies as we can... all the rest (how much money foreign investors and venture capitalists make) is just bullshit who cares? Well Foreign investors also happened all around the world including some of the biggest leagues in the world. I don't really care foreign or local, what upsets me is when they line their own pockets, again this happens in this country in so many ways both local & foreign & few care about football in this country. If you accept shit admin & nepotism, nothing will change. Depends on what you want out of the game" mate. The best for the game in this country. Be a real footballing nation. What is your definition of a real footballing nation? I would say (not trying to bait you) that Portugal definitely is one wouldn't you? Their FA isnt exactly the paragon of financial virtue or respnsibility... Some of the lower club sides are very poorly run yet they have a culture around football that is enviable.... THATS what I mean. By a footballing nation I mean having a government supporting the sport (which has the highest participants, playing in the biggest sporting events the WCs, Olympics), an unbiased media & treating the sport with respect & not disrespecting it's fans & its culture which will then help them to appeal both Government & Private sponsorship. Pro/reg is something I have always wanted but in country so big but so sparse, but without the money from those afore mentionsed, it's impossible. So apart from Japan can you think of any other countries with your "wish list"? serious question because I cant.

All Im saying is that football's success shouldn't be measured by how much money someone (foreign OR domestic) is making from it.....

WSW bounced back well this round with a win, after their 0-7 drubbing by Melb City in the last round.

+x+xLowy didn't understand the soul of Football. He thought it was a matter of dishing up a soup of many colours that tasted all the same, and by which his investors could become rich. Fortunately, the soul of Football has been lying quietly in the nether lands of the amateur and semi pro clubs. We are seeing it's rebirth. Unless the A League joins it will die a slow death. This is a pity because the likes of CCM have boldly challenged the sameness of Lowy's vision and have forged a reasonable identity and soul in their local area. It's always been the same, no one has understood how to make football great in this country, it's all agendas, nepotism & for themselves & never ever has anyone in power had the foresight to see what is good for football in this country. its an interesting and long storey being some of us have been on the sidelines for a lonnnnng time seeing what became and none the wiser but from a sstreet wise perspective for us mere mortals. This outpost as young as it is has been a kind of policy on the run no matter the subject strangely. The anglo rule was the so called beginnings challenged today and then the migration really flowed through and more so post WW11. That influx caused so much angst amongst the anglos the poor ol early wog settlers were victimised as we know wanted to assimulate but had to hang amongst themselves being excluded and in their spare time got into their/our beloved football. Its was always up a hill without a paddle no matter who ran it, naturally the wogs fended for themselves because how they were treated and the game despised by the locals and media what the feck else were the wogs gonna do, yep close up and fight. Unfortunately the mud stuck and expected - no funding but from fellow business supporters and ASF somehow did its part but really how else could it ever survive without the wogs digging in the first place. With so much against them ofcourse agendas were there but at least they built a system as we know it/owned grounds and turned out some pretty handy players. Admin wise I seriously am not surprised how screwed up it was because noone outside gave them much cred let alone much support hence no one stood up enough but for ones like J Warren as an ex player crying out the obvious. Hence we get to the next chaptor having the suger daddy Lowy seize the business opportunity to pull the rug from under his fellow migrants due to his business success and close ties with big biz and Howard. Granted good luck to him, sure it was a mess and as mentioned were we surprised but he also was part of it don't forget this for a long time as well. Therefore we then ended up visa versa eh, great so called admin, (in the end not), corporate sponsers, national media exposure but a generic football game/comp and clubs. Bugger the rest below they are fodder and will never be needed, yer right where does the games roots come from, suburbia we de people ! How people don't see this blows me actually. The game is not like a commodity per say, put it on the shelf and buy it - it relys on locals/passion/affordability/today inclusion/a eco system that feeds itself. Thats the game from ground up that looks to the top. I don't think its hard to reset this place and obviously alot of pain to get through but this JJ is capable maybe - our stumbling blocks are the past and present, 2 structures cannot work in the best interest of the game I've mentioned this before. Its the haves and the have nots, where have you heard this before politically.
Love Football

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xit is a small % of the general pop overall to me but 40k get to swans up here to the real G haha you see that. The other crowd I just checked and as I thought, the other day was a 8k of all places Syd Olympic park that is easy to get to... Mind you that is kind of AL crowd high. Alot of freebie ticks are always thrown out my mate tells me but AL does the same. People like getitng outside, not sure they are all right into afl just that its a day out, bit of a novalty to me. Still mate 40 k to a regualr season game is ALOT more than Storm get down ehre or Aleague in either town ... Whther its a novelty or not their marketing is working. They want a family friendly atmosphere and get it, Aleague doesnt know what it wants to be.... One day its "fish where the fish are", the other its star wars and pride rounds they other its ..."oh look at us we have safe standing and colourful smoke".... They could just concentrate on the football and let each club appeal to whatever type off fan represents them but they would have to break the franchise agreement I suppose first? The Sydney Derby got 30K in the A-League, which is run by the worst run sporting competition in the land, the APL, where there is no marketing, no looking after the fans, no future planning. Yet you get excited about 40K (first game in 6 months for this game) for the best run competition in this country. Maaaattte thats 1 game.... no worries you cant (or more likely refuse) to see my point... OK, nothing to see here all good. What is your point???? That AFL, despite being a hobby and not a sport being played anywhere else in the world, can manage to get very good exposure and attendances in "hostile" markets and yet Aleague (which pretends to represent the most popular sport on the globe) gets pitiful attendance and exposure.... 20 years now and no change in anything... perhaps time to make a change? OK I thought I'd regret asking, but as you said lets leave this here, your hatred knows no bound. Seems like your hatred is growing too Robbo, or is it only hatred when I say it? "The A-League struggles in Sydney, hardly any talk in pubs, cafes & work places. The Pubs even those near the stadium don't show the A-League." Quote by Robbo, Australian Soccer fan since 1974 and defender of the franchise system. Geez comprehension is not your friend. This is not hate, this is losing faith in the APL in running the competition. Dont worry my friend, you wont have to wait too long by the looks of things... Like I said this has been happening for the last 50 years. The football fans are there but the admin are failing it plus those with agendas. Admin has ALWAYS failed the sport here I 100% agree. And agendas too .... only difference is now the agendas are about foreigners making money, back then it was who was the most successful wog in the country.... Yet none of it helped football in this country.
