There you go ............. Rugby league is the most boring game in the land but every game sounds like a grand final because the commentators know there job and leave the Wikipedia information in the cupboard.

I .......... Also find ............. The stuttering oral presentation ............... To be fu#*^£€ing Ann .........oying for gods sake speak English . Pea .......... cock is the worst person to try and decipher his stutter of all time.

Fox commentators have forgotten that it is about the game ................ not their attempt at being amusing or funny.

They remind me of a call I heard in 1975 when two teams of differing ethnic backgrounds were playing on balls paddock ............... The scores were locked at six all with two minutes of injury time to be played and the caller remembered a similar situation he had called three years earlier. By the time he finished recounting his memory the game was finished .......... Another goal was scored ........... A penalty missed and a goalkeeper sent off ............... But we had to read the paper the next day to get the result 😟.

Yak yak yak ............... F~#>£%* ing YAK.🤐

At the beginning of the a league Harper wanted a more physical game as Aussies liked it tuff .......... The more physicality the better .............. Now he whinge sat the refs not giving cards for plays that break up the play ..........so called professional fouls ............ They are simply cheats that should get a red for an intentional foul.
Professional foul = intentional foul .............. Ruined opportunity to flow of game. Couple of professional fouls = ruined game as a spectacle ............. Commentators get bored .......... Start preaching their memories etc etc.

Call the game boys .............. Adam ..............call th .........e ................ Game.

Go and actually watch lower ladder championship matches and League one matches and you might actually see that that is a BS statement. I have to turn the matches off some times because they are actually unbearably shit. Watch Roda JC play. it is painful compared to most A-League games

The 4-4-2 will rise again.

Someone's woke Master Baiter up !

I've watched a few Vitesse matches on streams, they would probably win the A-League.

I think even Oxford United would give most A-League teams a run for their money.

😳

I think there is a 50/50 chance the Roos threw the games against France and Brazil in 2013 to get Holger fired.

It backfired for the senior guys because they didn't know how much Ange would clean house.

This has also happened before in Australian sport - QLD Reds in Super Rugby 2007.

I may support other Strayan teams for the good of aussie soccer.

Ajd soccer isnt a bad word just overused.

Possibly, but most of the goals that knocked us out came down Davidson's side.

And SFC 2016

Ardtho is probably a good bloke

All the rest of us are Eurosnobs, you know.

Mooy ain't all that.

On the whole, the standard of Aussie goalkeepers ain't too hot.

Simultaneous kick-offs on the last day of the league are pointless if we have a finals series.

elo

The league should be judge by the play on the field not the numbers in the stand.

NZ is not Australia.

I tend to agree with goalkeepers one, I definitely agree with he last one, but Mooy has been very good.

Pro/rel

Calling Franchises Franchises

It was disturbing to hear Peacock on the Fox podcast this week talking up Djite as a future presenter/personality.

ANZ is a great ground.

All Sydney derbies should be played at ANZ.

The F3 Derby is the original and most important derby of the A-League.

I agree with OP - Spira is our best Socceroos defender. I didn't know this was an unpopular opinion tbh.

I found Johnny Warren to be quite a sour person when alive, and although I respect his legacy and all that I just didn't find him THAT appealing of a dude when alive.

Kerem Bulut should be leading the striking line at the 2018 World Cup.

Andrew Hoole is a future Socceroo.

The Allstars were and still are a terrific concept.

You can't support the A-League yet be against modern football - the A-League IS modern football.

There shouldn't be promotion/relegation in the A-league for at least another 15 years and until we've expanded the A-League to at least 14 teams and each team is financially stable.

David Carney has copped far too much unwarranted criticism about the Asian Cup goal. There were others to blame more than him.

14 teams in the league is a terrible number. 26 rounds is too few and 39 rounds plus finals too many.

Nice guy, but can't see him as an analyst or sports journo post-football. Happy for him to prove me wrong.

16 is the ultimate IMO.

But 14 makes 26 rounds, that's one less than current. It's not THAT bad a number, is it?

It isnt so bad given the finals.

But you would go from 12 teams 33 rounds back down to 14 teams 26 rounds.

Stupid argument. There's nothing Even as it is

FFA already manufactures the Schedule, allows team to buy home games, play home games away for cash, regional games designed to cash in on nearby HAL teams etc

FFA might as well pick the number of Rounds they can fit in between the end and start of the Main Codes seasons and fudge it backwards from there.

Thought of another one.

Scheduling matches a year or more in advance in stadiums across the continent and across timezones to suit your paymaster, the fans, the players with conflicting ACL commitments, international fixtures, other codes to compete with plus concerts as well would be no easy task.

Given all of that my 'unpopular' opinion is the FFA do a pretty good job of match scheduling.

EPL will drop behind Italy in terms of the standard of play.

Expansion will kill the league.

Glad someone thinks like I do :d
