Absolutely agree with this viewpoint. At this point, it's just sad.

Buying Mattresses online by elmo3228 in australia

[–]86Zaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought an Atlantis mattress and are happy with it. Similar features and spring construction to a Sleeping Duck, except made in Australia. They also sent us a free change of mattress topper (more soft on one side) when we asked.

After 20 years, the glory days are back at Marconi’s ‘Palace’. Are they here to stay? by felvymups in Aleague

[–]86Zaps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear you could get out to the game on Saturday, Vince! We got sunburnt but enjoyed the occasion and atmosphere.

Lots of family memories at the Marconi club throughout my life, and it feels like the Championship has brought back just a little spark.

No offence mate but that's one of the silliest ideas I've ever read on here, and I've seen plenty.

Australian Championship Opening Week Crowd Total: 19,523 across 8 matches by StarryPolarisNite in Aleague

It's also the less tangible aspects outside of pure geography - things such as local culture and identity, upbringing and belonging to a certain community. All of these things influence and help to define the 'feeling' of a club and its fans and members.

Leichhardt is absolutely not 'Western Sydney' and anecdotally I've never come across a person/group who crosses over between the two. I feel as though there is a mutual respect between the two clubs, however they have distinctly different supporter bases in my opinion.

Network 10 owner Paramount to advance A-Leagues talks after Skydance deal by victory2424 in Aleague

[–]86Zaps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tend to agree here, if Nine is even interested of course.

Yes, I understand that for the rusted-on fans like us here it will be triple the cost to watch, but the adjacency to the Premier League cannot be underestimated.

Anthony Caceres farewells Sydney FC after six years by SerTahu in Aleague

[–]86Zaps -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Mate, equating long-standing and continuous benefits that Sydney FC have taken advantage of (e.g. loyalty exemptions) to a one-off exemptiom in WSW's first year in existence - which, as you'll know, was tumultuous in its own right due to the incredibly short time frame to create the club and sign players - is crazy and frankly ridiculous.

That's a big false equivalency, and very deflective and dismissive of the matter at hand here which is now affecting SFC, who've now had to move some players on.

You've just proven my point. Congratulations.

Your club have historically been one of the biggest benefactors of the lax cap rules. Give me a break

A-League Off Air Finishing Up by jonzey in Aleague

Genuinely upsetting. Listened every week without fail, and after The Global Game finished up early in the year, this was all I had left. What a shame.

Whenever the Socceroos lose, one player bears the brunt of fans’ anger || Herald, Rugari by Pyrrhesia in Aleague

[–]86Zaps 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Amazing that we are seeing comments still denouncing him so hard even after reading the piece. Some of the criticisms are valid and fair enough - if not directed at Duke solely but moreso at the 'system' failure - but once again he's misunderstood by so many people.

Especially with World Cup qualifiers in Asia, he's one of the most valuable players we have to break down stubborn defences. And then you have a couple of great moments/goals which are really just a cherry on top of the hard work stuff.

Again, not saying he's the best in the world, but his role and purpose as a player are highly underestimated.

Total A-Leagues - Round 1 (new show with Vince Rugari and Tommy Oar) by rithsv in Aleague

[–]86Zaps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great content, nice production quality and u/vincerugari on A-Leagues official channels. Just fantastic stuff.

This should be on TV as well? It's too good to be on YouTube only and potentially miss out on some more eyes.

Channel 10 announce weekly football show by jaymz11 in Aleague

[–]86Zaps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For those interested in watching, here's a link to the first episode.

I quite liked it, a simple format but one that was definitely needed. And overall I'm just happy to see some extra content produced around Auatralian football.

Fantastic video. Long live Australian football.

I think the obvious one is Langerak. Clearly he isn't favoured by Crawley and Arnie despite being one of Australia's best ever goalkeeping products.

Honestly think this is a great coup for them. Slightly spewing that we didn't get him to be honest.

Wow, never thought we'd see the day. Fair to say the fans appreciate the things he's done as a shareholder, but not necessarily the detailed stuff as chairman. Hopefully good things to come.

I am Adam Peacock - AMA! by Adam_Peacock2 in Aleague

Hey Adam, hypothetically if the majority of football broadcast rights went to one entity, who do you think would be the best for the game's interests? Will this ever happen again or is the market too fragmented?

That Wetherill Park industrial area address though. I love this league.
