Clever

Meh..all dickheads look the same to me.

I dont bash the a-league. I dont care enough to bash it. Good luck to the clubs and the league. I couldnt care less. I only worry about my club and its survival

I am not cut about not participating in the National League. My club didnt bother applying because we knew that our time at the top was up and that any further participation at a national level would lead to a very quick death. Dropping to the state leagues has kept us alive and will hopefully keep us alive for a very long time. I'm not that one-eyed and stupid to think that we DESERVE to be in the A-League and that it is our rightful place and all that rubbish.

The only problem I have is with people who dismiss anything pre-2005 and act as though football in Australia started with the a-league.

As for my comments about peoples club choices... Again, I have no problem with people who decided to support Sydney/Melbourne/whoever when the league started up. My issue is with those who then abandon the club and support another one completely out of convenience.

Why bother calling yourself a fan of any club at all? Why not just attend matches as a neutral "football fan"

You might want to learn how to quote people... that way you wont attribute quotes to the wrong people

eg:

Can we please get of the league bashing. It was funny 6 months ago but now has grown stale. Why can't we all just respect each others team selection and get over it.

State league teams (but only a selection of them) have a national league status and a rich history conected to them. The A-League is 5 years old and is growing this same history within clubs. In 50 Years no one will care who has a beter history because we'll all be dead and rottening.

you may be cut that you never got the chance to stay in the Nation league and you may look down on people for supporting a stte league team, but We are all football supporters who love Football. settle it like Hools off of the pitch and off of the internet.

no one likes an Internet warrior.

No, but this does:

Pointing out the stupidity of someone switching clubs at the drop of a hat does not make you elitist

worthy of a ban i think..

hit a nerve did i ? lol

there there, your club will kick its first ball in 18months time, as for now claim you are champions of the z-league.

whatever makes you sleep at night.

:lol: :lol:

You are a pathetic elitist piece of dog shit. Go fuck yourself you dirty cunt.

its pathetic really:oops:

jumping on and off bandwagons, there is no loyalty from the fans for clubs these days...

fans like this will never have a love for a club, like we do.

He only had one choice? Not really... he could choose between supporting the club and not supporting the club. He chose to support it.

Ill never understand the "hey, new club around that is more convenient for me... I'm going to jump ship..." mentality. It's pretty :oops:

But yea... good luck with that.

‘Ferret’ McConologue hungry for goals
23.03.10 10:34


Sutherland's Scottish import Stephen McConologue (right) shown in action against Bonnyrigg White Eagles' Shane Webb during their round 4 NSW Premier League clash
Scottish import Steve McConologue is better known by the nickname of ‘Louigi’ in Scotland after spending 12-years plying his trade with Dundee United, Clyde, St Johnston, Partick Thistle, Cowdenbeath and Stranraer.
The Scotsman however was looking for a new challenge so, when chatting with close friend Neil Jablonski, decided to head south for sunnier climate and try out for Sutherland Sharks.

A striker of some note he was given another nickname (Ferret) due to his knack of ‘ferreting out a goal’ which, considering he represented his country from U/14 to U/21 level, speaks volumes about his worth to the Sharks after the loss of Brad Boardman to Bonnyrigg White Eagles in the off season tho when challenged about his scoring exploits.

“My most memorable goals was a tap in from 5-yards when playing for Partick,” he laughs before adding; “Mind you, I did manage to score one in a Stranraer match from 25-yards so maybe I was getting a little more confident by then?”

As if the Sharks didn’t have enough jokers in the dressing room they seem to have found another one but other than the challenge was there any other reason for coming to Australia?

“It was too cold in Scotland,” he laughs again, “It was mainly the new challenge though and since I’ve been here I have to say I am loving it, everything about Australia so far has been fantastic.”

McConologue has been doing some coaching with Mark Robinson but may look into doing a University course with Jablonski at some stage but the 28-year old is keeping his options open and so far as the Sharks are concerned they hope he will continue to ferret out a route to scoring as the Shire side look to emulate the highs of last season, and who would bet against it this early into a new campaign?

Mileski raises stakes for 2010

Bankstown City FC’s lethal marksman Robbie Mileski has been in fine goalscoring form since the commencement of the 2010 NSW Premier League season four weeks ago.


The crowd favourite at Jensen Park has been at his devastating best having hit five goals in four matches but it was something that the former Sydney FC National Youth League player had worked on during the pre-season.

“I have been working overtime in getting this aspect right in my game.

“I want to get in the box as many times as I can and want to be involved in as many scoring opportunities as possible.

“This has obviously paid off so far but it’s too early to say anything else I just want to see the ball hit the back of the net more often in a consistent fashion.”

Asked whether the Golden Boot was on his mind Mileski stated to Football NSW.

“To be honest the thought has not crossed my mind as I am focused on seeing Bankstown winning as many matches as possible and finishing as high up the ladder to play finals football.

“Obviously if you ask any player in the world if you would like to win the Golden Boot award they would certainly say yes but I guess if this form continues then I will not think of it until say five rounds to go before the end of the season.

“It will only be then I would focus on that.”

The 22-year-old believes that Bankstown have been unlucky thus far in their 2010 NSW Premier League campaign but understands the squad has the potential to go places.

“Overall I believe we have been unlucky at times and only deserved to lose against the Rockdale City Suns.

“I think we are playing well and the team is settling in as the weeks roll by but we are concentrating on playing good attractive football on the floor and gunning for three points getting us up the ladder.”

The crafty attacker has lofty ambitions in becoming a professional footballer but has kept his feet firmly on the ground when asked what his goals were for 2010 and beyond.

“I would love to stay injury free and continue scoring as many goals as I possibly can for the club.

“I honestly don’t want to be out of the top three and if we play the way we know we can, this is certainly a realistic goal for us all at the club.

“Beyond 2010 obviously playing either in the A-League or abroad is in the back of my mind but I know I need to continue working hard at my game if I am to have any chance of achieving this. Right now I want to remain fit and healthy, assist my club and if an opportunity comes by then so be it.”

After a flawless display in round 4 of the NSW Premier League which saw Bankstown defeat the West Sydney Berries 5-1, Mileski being on the end of a hat-trick, the club now faces a keen South Coast Wolves outfit fresh from scoring its first points for 2010 after a credible 2-2 draw against 2009 Premiers Sydney United on Sunday.

“We are definitely expecting a tough match against the Wolves as I know they will be up to the task in wanting to secure maximum points.

“They will be in a confident mood that’s for sure after being able to grab a draw at Sydney United so we have to be ready for them.

“We understand that they are predominately a young squad so they will be full of running but it is up to us to isolate them.

“I think if we play the way we did against the Berries though then we will be fine.”

Bankstown City FC tackle the South Coast Wolves this Sunday at Jensen Park with kick off set for 6pm.

Hah at the "Olympic ultras". There were more Rovers supporters at Parra stadium for the Perth game, and the club doesn't even exist yet.

Well when the A-League started he had only one choice, and naturally being from Sydney he was drawn towards Sydney FC. I'm much the same I'll support Sydney FC simply because they are a Sydney team and I'm a Sydney boy. But now that there is an option, yes I am a Sydney boy but a Westie first, and Guest is much the same, just supporting Sydney FC because they are a Sydney club.

So for now youre a Sydney FC fan but then once the Rovers come in youll switch over to them?

+1

You got an issue with it?

Youve got a Sydney Rovers banner in your sig... but youre talking about Sydney as "us"

WTF?

why u talking bout the a-league whats wrong with u

Yes it was great to see us win on penalties. Really demoralising to the Victory fans. But real football was the winner on the night as the greatest game in Australia was played by the two best teams in Australia.

to guest well done your team won on the day, but he who laughs last laughs the hardest boy

to guest well done your team won on the day, but he who laughs last laughs the hardest boy

to guest well done your team won on the day, but he who laughs last laughs the hardest boy
