I've said it before, but the articles that posters cut and paste from other football sources outside 442 and TWG are really informative.

ATM I can only access this forum with slow internet speed and IPad and IPhone access. The IPhone is too small to post, so all the info coming in from other sites is much appreciated.

My circumstances could continue for months, so any Oz football news outside the big two sources is much appreciated folks.

Asian Champions' League

Another positive about 442, is this competition. If the HAL generates little interest from the football community, in this state there are only a handful of people who follow the ACL who I know from the football milieu.

At the end of any ACL game, there are many passionate followers of the ACL who've viewed it on 442. The ACL is almost a secret competition that occurs off shore for most Aussies.

There is almost no coverage of the ACL at all by media outlets in this state. WSW winning the ACL warranted a small article about seven pages back from the back sports page.](*,)


It's an endemic issue with the competition itself not just with its coverage in Australia.

Most Asian teams that compete appear to be quite apathetic about it, likewise with their attendances.

I'd say until there is big prize money on offer and a larger push for advertising to increase viewership and attendances, I can't see much changing in the short term (bar the CSL's massive push for European stars).

Not our fault you aren't sociable.

Joffa, you were probably right to censor Judy's rant, but OOTF has a point. Mods are meant to be respectable, there's a reason no one respects you tubs

Comparing me to Newman doesn't help with my social skills or my self-esteem.

You make it sound like Newman is Adolf Hitler.

Would you rather we started calling you Mein Furher.

You probably don't even know what that means. #-o

A moderator aligning himself with the without a doubt the sickest deluded loser stench fuck in Australian football is quite a disconcerting move on their part. Although everyone realises that he probably has little in the way of an outside existence beyond this forum I feel that they can do better in terms of whom they may favour in a forum sense. It certainly makes the forum wonder what kind of person they really are if they are perceived to be protecting such an insane mutt. As a moderator it isn't very becoming to be associated with the core mental sickness & pyschotic attention seeking darkness that the Tasmanian salesman conman & fraud seems to have in spades.

How embarassment. \:d/

I've left this just to show the lack of self-awareness that earned you the three month ban. The bit I liked best was that you had gone back and edited and it still read like this. Well done. KA

Thought moderators are supposed to be impartial...

Wonder if people know how many multis decentric uses on this forum; or that he has been banned from other forums for using multis and spamming.

So you were warned to desist your personal attacks against Decentric and yet you continue on, you have history for this so I can understand the difficulty in taking the hint.

I'm speechless.

It is terrible the stuff that goes on Football Anarchy, Judy.

It is best that respected paragons of virtue like you, renowned for your altruism and community work, keep well away from it. Your prior participation on 442 displays those qualities in abundance. With all those impersonations, bogus accounts and multis, you never know who is who on there.

Thankfully, 442 provides a pleasant atmosphere away from all those acrimonious exchanges and hatred . I think it is abhorrent that a strip club is supposedly sponsoring Anarchy.

The axiom is that one needs an IQ below 70 and a criminal record to meet the criteria for membership on Anarchy. I didn't think you'd meet those criteria.

This is what football is all about - building friendships and networking.

I've only met up with one other 442 member, due to tyranny of distance. Really enjoyed it.

I offered to share my lounge for a Socceroo game with another travelling 442 member , but he said he would be with two other 442 members who would be pretty drunk after drinking whisky all day!

Conversely, a lot of useful information, coaching resources, travel advice, stadium advice, ticket advice, different circumstances that occur in different Oz regions and overseas, etc, is shared on 442.

I'm going to start this thread as there are reasons that many of us keep posting here.

1. I love Joffa and his cohorts' stats thread. If we are not at a game, our perception from looking at crowds on TV can often be wrong. Fans can often sit on the same side of the ground as the TV cameras.

I love seeing objective data - in this case crowds. I've also been pleased that despite the football haters, like Rebecca Wilson, the HAL and many aspects of the local game are working. Joffa's crowd thread supports this notion.


2. Voice Of Reason's Aussie Abroad thread.

I love seeing all the updated info on what is occurring overseas. ATM I'm less interested, because many of the leagues Aussies play in overseas are not decidedly better than the HAL. Giannou said ball circulation was nowhere near as fast in the Greek or C League as in the Socceroos.


3. The Select Few's Underage Socceroo thread.

Often instead of starting a new topic, ongoing discussions are better served in this thread. It is also good for streams of games.



4. The Select Few's senior national team Socceroo thread. Again instead of starting new topics, ongoing discussion is better served in this thread.



5. The fact that 442 constantly links articles from the 442 home page to the forum creates ongoing football content. I've seen another football forum gradually implode with no articles linked to the forum that generates ongoing football discussion.





442 may not be perfect, but it creates an opportunity to discuss football in Australia beyond one's home states.
