hahahahaha 

At least they can't cross promote the AFLW.
But watch the Sherrins interfere

Fucking LOL.  

Ahahahahahaha 

Time to blow the dust off this old beauty...

Can you send me a Melbourne Knights calendar? Ill check the dates again.

Same reason why you would take the rubbish out to the council bins even if  the kitchen bin is still half full.. Something really smelly about that last bit of trash.

 I' ve   previously   explained  .   Have   you   confused   dates / timeframes   ?    The   new   FFA   took    over   in   later   2018,  by   which    time   much   of   the  WWC   planning   work   would   have    needed   to   have    been   substantially   progressed .

If   that' s   the  case ,  why   did   they   even   bother ...

Leave Paulie alone Trev, the resort flooded.....

Better on the spacing .... WD :)

So, early 2019 eh. 3-4 months after the Aleague expansion bids were awarded? Hmm so caretaker mode for expansion, but still "at the helm" for the WC bid? Haahahaha you goose,

The OLD FFA is exactly the same as the new FA --- same old dildos. Fat Nick, Dopey Greg, the gangs still mostly still there just your toxic Lowy family are finally gone.... WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO

@ Balin   Trev

I  wasn' t   the   one   who   brought   up  the   old   administration.  So   obviously   someone    else   does ...

Nobody- besides you - gives 2 fucks

I   believe    that   planning   for  the   WWC   bid   would  have   already   been   well   progressed   by   the   time   the   new  FFA   took   over ,  as   completed  bid   registrations   were   originally    due   for  submission    in   early   2019 .

Well   done   old  FFA .

Paulie your spaces are getting bigger every post ... FFS your gonna break your keyboard.... hahahahahahahahahah Ah re megale, you make me laugh.

Thank Christ they didnt, we would have ended up with another cartoon kangaroo commercial, an embarrassing attempt at bribery and watching the World cup on Channel 7 next year (being played in another country) .... Well done to the all new (with a handful of parasitic old hangers on) FA

Oh,  so   is  THAT   why   they   have   already   bounced   the  ALM    to    a   secondary   channel  after   just   1   year   of   the   contract ?

And   is   THAT   why    they   have   already    bounced   the  ALW   from   their   channels   to   paramount  after   just  1   year   of   the   contract  ?

Gee ,  how   hard   up   are   they   for   money ??  Maybe   we   should   all   make   a   small    donation   to   help    them   keep   the   lights   on   over   there ...

they advertise the AL during PL matches and highlights on the optus sports app

Maybe the unfriendly match times put a bit of a dampner on their bidding. Budget is also another one.

Thirdly it may have been a blind bid.

Anyhoo what the fuck does it matter who is televiing it as long as it is telivised live and commercial free.

Optus technical glitchs was bad timing but they at least corrected it And compensated all those who stayed with them as I have and to this day.
I have no issue paying more and even a Fox subscriber still, people whinge not affording it more than anything else.
Rapted OS has the rights for watching EPL is still a joy and they have the best coverage/intel and play backs so easy plus the other comps.....
FTA is important for many - 7 is better than nothing I guess not that I'll use FTA much but I'll giggle hearing if anything gayfl is dripped through with dippa commentating lol but the big one is as mentioned, the big aplm investor not making sure getting the co rights to broadcast here.
They obviously didn't want to up 7's bid lol.....
That boardroom at silverlake must be full of bent over executives with vaso in front of their nose's haha

It  would    seem  to  me   that   in  the  circumstances  it  would   have   been  appropriate   for   the   old   FFA   to   have   continued   the  planning  for   the  WWC  bid.

But  much   very    much  unlikely   that    they   would    have   been  involved    in   any   major    decision   making   on  the   expansion   licences,  given  they   were   in  "caretaker  mode" .

Ahhh I see , so they spent their final moments planning for the WWC bid but strangely DIDNT have anything to do with awarding licenses to WU and Macarthur and souring the Foxtel deal????  Did they mark they days on their Melbourne Knights calander off one by one?

The   old   FFA   did   much   of  the   planning   for   the  WWC  bid.  No   doubt   their   experience    was   instrumental   to   the   ultimate   success  of   the   bid.

thats adorable.

You might have been one of us if they bid for the rights to the Australian 2022 Men's World Cup.... Poor "Sir" Frank, he must be cursing the plebs turffed him out of soccer again and won a WC bid on their very first try.... wwwaaaahhhhh, wwwaaaaahhhhhhh ....  

Who   would   have   thought   there   would   be   so   many   Channel  7    apologists   and   supporters    on    here .. .

I tried "Keep Up" but nothing on the site to interest me. So are you saying the Aleague itself is different to how Frank Lowy, the white knight of Australian football, set it up? Isn't it still a bunch of foreign owned franchises in a closed of league? Same same really?

Ahahaha

How    many    Billions   did   they   spend   on  the   AFL   rights   again  ?

This   would   be   absolute    chicken   feed ...

If Optus won the bid, but were forced to show some games on FTA due to anti-siphoning rules, perhaps they refused to negotiate with CH10 as they are a rival Football broadcaster?
