I think Melbcityguy means not just the clubs they played at as kids but the minutes they’ve played in the A-League against men that are full professionals. And training full time with a professional club not semi-pro. I’d love to say that my days playing for Coffs Harbour’s Westlawn Tigers in...

It was a game way back in 2022, I’m not a supporter of Sydney United or MacArthur so I have moved on. I went to the game as a neutral supporting Australian football as it was the Australia Cup final and I thought it was interesting to see an NPL team against an A-League team in the final. I have...

I’m overseas so can’t get Channel 10

Good on ya mate! Adding a lot to the forum as usual. Well done!

Pumped! Will it still be on Football Australia’s YouTube channel?

It was widely reported that the songs they were singing were old Croatian WWII songs from that fascist group. I don’t speak Croatian but obviously people familiar with the language knew and understood. I’m not a fan of the Welcome to Country, but like the National Anthem, it should be respected...

The Secret Scout, think his real name might be Andy something? South Australian guy that does lots of work with NPL clubs and some A-League clubs. He often says “Macarthur are a rabble of a club, they lose $12K every home game”. Has a lot of inside knowledge of up and coming South Australian...

I’ve heard that’s an urban myth. It may have been true in the beginning, but I’ve heard they lose $10-15K per match because of their shite crowds. The owners have deep pockets.

My apologies. The Ustaše also known by anglicised versions Ustasha or Ustashe. Happy now?

100% agree apart from the Nazi salutes, Stasi songs, and talking during the national anthem and welcome to country. (I was at the game).

No thanks. This season Juric’s Sydney FC are last on the table.

Supposedly the “missionary” name comes from the missionaries not liking the “natives” doing it doggy style.

The average punter (and even the rusted on supporters) in general don’t give two hoots about the ACL (they should). I think you’re massively overrating the impact and influence of the ACL. Yes, Australian teams do poorly and it has affected our coefficient but most people don’t follow or care...

If Popovic picks them!

Agree! But football fans from other states would not be happy. “Not national. An East coast league”.

Sharn Frieier and Kerr are injured. The only less experienced players added are Torpey and Laini Frieier?

2-4 token Wog clubs would still be an improvement and better than nothing! But agree the ultimate end goal should be a fully-connected pro-rel pyramid.

Couldn’t beat the plastic franchise Vuck kids. WTF?

Titans seem to average about 15K, over 20K for Broncos games in 2024. Suns also averaged 15K in 2024. I can’t see a Gold Coast football team getting more than 5K, except for games against Roar. So then you’ve got another Clive Palmer, QLD Fury, MacArthur, Western United situation with the new...
