The GG never lost to Iran either. Thats how cuthroat it was back then. The Socceroos didnt lose a single game in that qualifying campaign and still missed out. If they were in a group with Iran, Japan, Vietnam, Bahrain etc do you really not think they easily finish 2nd every time?

Scotland with Dalgliesh, Souness, Strachan, Nicol, Mcleish etc? Dont embarass yourself. The point is we play a comfortable qualifying phase now where we can afford to lose to the likes of Bahrain at home and still easily qualify, no such luxury in the old days.

Comparing Asian qualifying to playing 2 legs against the likes of Uruguay and Argentina lol.

I think relegation would fold pretty much every club. Without any cultural imprint why would anyone bother? They would serve no purpose.

Not when winter kicks in

I was hoping the paco 23s was a giveaway that i wasnt being serious lol. We need 4 absolute quality editions, not just to help us get the extra points we may need, but also for the nsd.

1 is from Manningham, 1 is from Langwarrin and the other 2 are from pascoe vale under 23s.

Away goals count double, would encourage more attacking play.

Less ethnics attending games, more Aussies attending games.

No idea, if he didnt why didnt he sack him then?

12 is the maximum needed imo, go through past years 27 is enough to survive, this year it will probably be about 25. Port need to win 5 of their last 10 just to hit 25 and knights need to better that, very difficult. I actually think MV will finish bottom. I dont trust our club when it comes to...

250,000 ppl dont turn up to watch a "tin pot" celebration. A trophy thats taken the club 4 decades to win. Spurs were tanking the league its pretty obvious.

Have those players been unavailable for a while? Almost certain they didnt play against Heidelberg either. I cant see Victory winning another game. If South put 4 on them (should have been more) i cant see them containing anyone else, the winter will be a tough slog for them. The path to...

Why cant these morons play on a Sunday like they normally do arghh

Sack is the best thing for Ange, Frank has no idea what he is walking into, Spurs no longer have the generational talents of Kane and Son carrying them and Levy wont spend the required amounts to keep Spurs competitive against the rest. Good luck replacing the manager that just won a trophy...

2 things annoyed me tonight that i hope we see the back of. 1) Inglese up front 2) Harding as a wing back, the guy is an ordinary attacker but he is an even worse defender, i was fuming every time he was essentially the RB and one of the young punks were running at him, he of course gave away...

This one was the big one as MV should struggle moving forward. Surely we finish above them, Port and Knights.

So who would be missing?

Its a fair point. They will simply never be accepted, the sight of them freaks many ppl out and its always going to send the media into a frenzy. Having Swan St covered in smoke is never going to play well.

To be fair the afl grand final has an extra 70,000 people there.
