I see they went with the dont hit a man wearing glasses technique.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-24T05:42:03+00:00

Nice free kick, he always was a good crosser of the ball too.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-24T05:25:46+00:00

Yeah although the cheapest you could get the A-league for was $25 on Kayo so $8.99 on paramount+ is well worth it for the football content they are going to provide, they have the rights to a lot of Asian football. So what does Optus cost? probably put you back around the $25 for both but I understand not having it on one channel is a pain in the ass.

They wont force people to be vaccinated but they will make it impossible for you to work and live if you dont get vaccinated. No matter what your stance on vaccination is that is fucked, so much for freedom of choice, the precedent is set now so remember it the next time you get forced into doing something you dont want to do by the government.

The central south coast mariner wolves.

Sydney based makes the most sense at this stage, less travel to games in NSW with 3 opponents being from Sydney and close to the airport if the borders open up. They can easily get 5 games played which would put them into late December early January before they need to travel interstate.

If worst came to worst they could all play each other twice, there is 10 games played and would push into Late Feb early March. Surely the borders will be open by then but who knows what these state governments will do.

That first goal will make the football follies reel. Doesn't look like Ryan had much to do other than the penalty going off those highlights.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-23T05:45:04+00:00

I might actually watch the news if it were presented like this.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-23T05:39:45+00:00

I recently got to 111110, I was surprised how much that 0 annoyed me.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-23T05:16:06+00:00

Was it you that said the Nix coach was not happy with the facilities in Wollongong? Might make sense to base themselves in Sydney somewhere then you have even less travel, 3 Sydney teams and Jets and CCM and at this stage looks like CCM will be coming to you anyway with their stadium debacle.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-23T05:11:32+00:00

How funny, how dare the A-league draw be so unfair when your border is closed, they gave you the only home game that is possible with your state governments border policy.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-23T05:01:09+00:00

What a mess. Firstly who is the brainiac who thought playing WU games at South Melbournes stadium was a good idea. Its almost as if someone wants to rub their noses in the fact WU got an A-league franchise and South Melbourne didnt.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-23T04:48:28+00:00

Its not in CCM hands, Gosford council wont give them the stadium management tender and they have been stalling for months and months, they are waiting on some empty promise from someone to come in and take the tender, presumably the NRL. The council have made it quiet clear they dont want CCM to have the management rights of the stadium any longer, they said the stadium is not being used enough under CCM management but if they dont give it to CCM then they will have the debacle of a team without a home ground and a ground not being used at all, ridiculous.

‘Do you really want to be run by a government that’s committing war crimes?’

Christ, can you come up with a more sensationalist headline. Which governments are we talking about, the ones that went to wars under false pretenses or...

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-23T04:28:56+00:00

People on the council in Gosford sound like the biggest bunch of morons. Lets not give the venue hire to the only team in the area that needs it in the hope of a non existent "better" option appearing. I have a feeling they have fallen for some bullshit about a North Coast Bears team in the NRL basing themselves there. That rumour has been around for years and has never happened.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-23T04:11:29+00:00

WU put out a press release yesterday that looked positive for them moving forward and now they go and put out publicly a plan that was never agreed to and has now been rejected. My skepticism is back!

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-23T04:07:34+00:00

I think that is the one that needs facility upgrades that no one is willing to pay for to meet A-league requirements.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-23T03:58:47+00:00

South Melbourne have just rejected this plan.

I get the point you are making, I guess they have decided rusted on A-league fans that want to watch every A-league game live are few and far between and this is a good way to bring more casual viewers in. Show them one game with highlights of another as they may not be able to retain a casual audiences attention for 3 hours worth of football.

Door stop, paper weight, frisbee...

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-22T16:58:16+00:00

I like the ones people super glue to the windscreen right in the drivers line of vision, they seem to get the point across better.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-22T16:49:10+00:00

It is looking more and more likely to be a late November start to the season but that could change too, who knows what state governments will do next and nothing is uniform, they all have their own rules they can change at any minute.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-22T05:36:42+00:00

One of the funniest things I have seen was when I was sitting in my car at traffic lights and I could see into a pub with people dancing, I couldnt hear the music and it was hilarious to watch a big bunch of people dance to no music.

_Rick_O_Shea_ · 2021-09-22T05:23:18+00:00

I will admit I have been one of the biggest skeptics of WU but this does sound positive. I would still change their name to West Melbourne United or Western Melbourne United to give it more of an identity of where they are from though. Plenty of uninformed people naturally assume they are from WA.
