Hey MFKS , I was driving into work and radio saying they may change the game back to Sydney as have the right to do so. I will be fuming if this is the case and it is a right snub to us if they do. Plus I missed the game last time Australia were in town as I was overseas.

Heard the same, but also heard Aaron Kearney say the exact opposite i.e. They are locked in. So who knows.

To be honest, while I will be disappointed if the Semi's were to be swapped between the 2 venues, I could understand the decision. 80,000 fans having the chance to see the National Team versus under 30,000, that's a big difference both in numbers and $$$. And we all know what wins out in the end.

I got Sydney and Newy packs, and have gone to every game so far at those two plus plan to go to both semis, so where the potential Socceroos semi is located doesn't bother me as to if I'll get to see it or not.

But I would love to see a packed Turton Road, with the Socceroos there. Would be amazing!

[Jeterpool]

What will grind people's gears, if they do change it, is that now the Socceroos have fallen on the Newcastle Semi side of the draw, people have bought their tickets accordingly.

To move it now, the AFC may have to accept single game purchase tickets a refund. That would be at their discretion, however, but it will piss a lot of people off.

100% , we have bought our tickets in good faith and they should do likewise. No other country would do this during a major tournament and if I was the opposition I would be kicking up a stink as well . Its a sporty event and if this goes away from Newcastle for me it would be breaking a unwritten rule of sporting integrity .

[pv4]

seriously, what does FFA have to do with this? This is an AFC tournament.

I would have thought that the FFA would have had a fair bit to do with it tbh. Much like how they spent the $40mil odd on the World Cup bid book, I would have assumed the FFA would have been involved in the bidding process, and the inspection to get the stadiums up to standard, helped with the scheduling, etc of the tournament.

I know the Asian Cup has a 3-4 day turnaround on group stage games (as opposed to 4-5 for World Cup), and the host nation always gets the 4 days as opposed to 3. I would have assumed this is because the host nations FA would have had a hand in scheduling, and "rigged" it this way.

[lquiquer]

What's more unbelievable is that they did nothing with the grass area, hence reducing capacity to 22000 for a semi final!!!....

The other games were not necessary at all.

Cost would have been significant for no return for the Japan Palestine game and the Oman V Kuwait effort. Semi could have been cost effective 3rd and 4th a bit iffy depending on opponents anyway

Be worth it now as 3rd v 4th could be Australia or Japan. Surely either would still attract a good turn out, especially if it's iran as the opponent.

Traditionally 3rd V 4th games are not that well supported.

People were buying them for the WC and tried flogging them off but were having a hard time giving them away. The game is an after thought for the losing semi finalists and the interest wanes.
Usually good spectacles but when you have the 2 semis the final in the same area it is game no 4 on the interest demand stakes by a long long long way


Being though it may well be Australia the game will be well supported then. If it ain't involving Australia I do not envisage a sell out even if it is Korea/ Japan/ Iran match up.

Sure people will go but they ain't gonna be selling tickets hand over fist for it

Fair enough....I think because of the 15000,17000 of 20000 for the first Japan game in newy, the fact that the Iranians are pretty well supported, the fact it could be the Aussies and it's only a 22000 capacity could see a healthy crowd, could be wrong though.

They're drug smugglers who got caught. Do I agree with the death penalty? No, but it's not up to us. Indonesia has their own laws and the death penalty is allowed there. You got caught, you throw yourself at the mercy of their legal system. We shouldn't be telling them how to run their legal system.

As for the BS with regard to the AFP, if the AFP did the same thing with any other country where there isn't a death penalty, it wouldn't be an issue. Why should the fact that Indonesia has the death penalty affect what we tell them? Or should we stop sharing information with the U.S.?

The NEWS coverage of these two convicted drug runners

Turned on the news this morning and get confirmation the two have got their punishment.


Dimwit reporters talking about them using words like Brave and treating the two of them as some ****ing heroes

These dumb **** lefty apoligists not able to take in the fact that they are both ADMITTED CONVICTED DRUG TRAFFICKERS who were only getting their come uppance?? Same two ****s who if they had of got away with it would not have given two ****s about any of the people the product they supplied effected whilst they were counting their cash.

Then the dumb ****s have the audacity to criticise a foreign countries judicial system for dealing out in their words "harsh and cruel punishment" to deal with the drug issue in that country.
Take it they are quite happy with this countries judicial system where Rape and Murder etc see you get 3-5 years and a slap on the wrist.

Then don't get me started on this pea brains holding candlelight vigils
Same dimwits who won't speak up about the persecution and oppression of many innocent people on this planet based on differing religion

you only have to look at this thread for confirmation of that.

[Blackmac79]

It was last night there was one news story that was about Victoria reviewing its parole rules, and looking into what is essentially locking people up and throwing away the key, taking away the individual's life .

And the next was about these rehabilitated drug smugglers who shouldn't have their lives taken away.

I now don't know if we as a country, or if the media are just hypocrites, believe in rehabilitation or not

[MFKS]

the thing is, the only people who seem to think this was a fair punishment are bogans.

Fair Punishment???

So you wish to debate whether this was fair??

Well lets forget the bleeding obvious that there are piles of signs at Denpasar Airport advising against the activity, The Australian Government Travellers website provides plenty of information advising on doing this activity, lets also ignore the fact it is pretty much common knowledge that Sth East Asia has the death penalty for drugs.

So ignorance on the part of these two can't really be used.

I suppose you have never attended a hospital in the middle of the night to see someone you know be resuscitated 3 times and then sit with them in the morning as they suffered through a hell of an ordeal whilst the effects of their drug overdose are in effect and then see no punishment taken for the halfwit who decided to give a 16 year old kid looking to experiment with drugs and have a good time as kids do a drug that had not even been produced correctly and had infact been tampered with by having chemicals that should never have even been in it present.

Fair punishment they are still living the good life whilst if it wasn't for medical technology the person I know would have been in the morgue that morning and not going home 48 hours later


I suppose we can now debate whether a foreign country should actually have the right to make a decision on what laws and punishments they wish to have on their society or whether they should have to be doing what a country at the arse end of the world feels it should.

Me I am of the opinion that Indonesia or any other country for that matter is entitled as a sovereign state to make their own laws and punishments.

Apparently that makes me a Bogan for having little time for drugs and those scum who choose to profit from it.


Over to you Parkesy to elaborate as to why they are not entitled to do so and should run their country how people thousands of kilometres away think they should and to also elaborate why these two have been hard done by for being punished for their crime.

Bali has a low population of Muslims, it's a largely Hindu populated island.

[MFKS]

Bali has a low population of Muslims, it's a largely Hindu populated island.

It is though a tiny part of Indonesia which has a level of Muslims that according to Wikipedia is 87% of the population of 250 million.

[Thomas477]

To be honest, it doesn't matter if we think the punishment is fair or not, it's not up to us. The Indonesian Courts and/or Government have decided it is in their country. You go to their country, their rules apply. End of discussion.

[Premy]

It is though a tiny part of Indonesia which has a level of Muslims that according to Wikipedia is 87% of the population of 250 million.
Not disputing that, but the sentiment to boycott Bali because you're anti-Muslim is ludicrous because you would be harming the economy of a majority Hindu based population and it would mean little to large majority of Muslims in Indonesia.

i'm anti-death penalty.

also, i had a response to mkfs typed up but the forum died and i lost it. so, in summary: no one has asked for leniency based on ignorance, it has been on humanitarian grounds. leaning on hypotheticals is stupid; these people were caught, they were imprisoned and the drugs were confiscated.

for me, if all you can point to is "those big signs" and "my mate almost died from drugs" as your reasoning for the acceptance this verdict, you just don't get it. there is no part of me that can justify those guys being put to death for what they did.

[leftrightout]

I am a bit of a fence sitter in this whole situation. The death penalty and particularly the way they do it, i do not agree with.

What gets me is this "brave" label and the discussion of a minute silence... A minutes silence, really?

I did a minutes silence on the weekend, FOR ****ING ANZAC DAY! Real brave men and women who have fought for our freedom, lost their lives so we could live ours and some genius came up with the idea to show these low life drug trafficking scum similar? GTFO!

[plague]

i'm anti-death penalty.

there is no part of me that can justify those guys being put to death for what they did.

I actually agree with the 2nd sentence, I think the compassion for these two came from the fact they didn't 'directly' kill anyone. Individuals still had a choice to make whether they brought and used the drugs these blokes smuggled.

On the other hand I have zero sympathy for your Martin Bryants/Ted Bundys/Boston Bombers.

Wouldn't bother me a bit if they fried in a chair tbh.

[plague]

Just further on this:
A lot of the talk for clemency was that they were 'rehabilitated'.

Does anyone know for sure whether or not they co-operated with the fuzz and grass up the people further up the drug chain?

I never heard anything about any syndicates being 'smashed' because of their info.

Always bothered me that if they were intent on being anti-drugs now that they would have done everything possible to get drugs off the streets.

Another interesting point I've heard raised - would they have rehabilitated had they not been caught? Would they have continued to smuggle drugs? We can't possibly know, but to suggest that they bastions of humanity is a bit farcical for mine.

[q-money]

would they have rehabilitated had they not been caught

of course not.

but isn't that the point of jail though mate? to get rehabilitated? which they appear to have done pretty well before getting shot

yeah they were stupid, yeah they got caught, now they're dead.

you can bang on about them killing drug users with the smack once they got to straya - but i don't see many people crying about users most of the time. in fact i reckon most of the blokes who are applauding the death sentence would probably want these junkies killed as well judging by the summary justice ideals that people seem to love on the internet.

...except themselves, when they're out necking pingers and doing gas and the like because they're not part of the problem because they aren't degenerate junkies.

[MFKS]

This does not make sense.

Never said my friend didn't deserve to die.

He took the drugs and had to deal with the consequences whatever they may have been. If he ended up in a coffin then the consequences would have had to be accepted.

He is just fortunate that he had medical help close by and was given every chance to survive plus he had me praying to Griff on his side etc

He just had his luck in that night. Could have easily went the other way with the 3 times resuscitation etc.



Not condoning him of anything.

It was a stupid thing to be doing and he has paid a pretty heavy price (will most likely have issues with kidney heart etc later on in life) and seems to have learnt a big lesson from the incident fingers crossed and has slowed his life down a bit and thinks more of the consequences of his actions.

So if Gaol is all that is needed to punish people and rehabilitate people then why ain't you calling for the immediate release of Martin Bryant?? I am sure he has changed

What about Ivan Milat?? Sure he deserves another go??

What about the Skaf Gang??? I am sure they are just hard done by kids in need of the RBB??

apples and oranges mate - bryant is a mentally deranged mass murderer, milat the same and skaf is a sociopathic leader of gang rapists. all are in jail and have the option of rehabilitation open to them but that doesn't ensure that they will take it, or ensure that they will ever be released from prison (which i believe they shouldn't be). rehab is not equal to release.

by what i've read these blokes don't want to get rehabilitated, and will probably never get paroled (skaf the exception as he was not sentenced to life). and rightly so.

chan and sukumaran, while criminals, are hardly any of the former. while life imprisonment would have been a harsh and probably just sentence, it is a reasonable one and not without precedence in indonesia (but i guess it's the same thing for the death penalty, not without precedent etc). however it also would not be out of the question for the crimes they committed.

i'm not saying they deserve sympathy, but they seemed to genuinely be contrite and doing something useful while imprisoned, which is more than can be said for a lot of other prisoners.

but the two blokes are now dead and there's not much we can do about it really.

I used to hate Sydney FC for all the furious masturbation the press and commentators would do over them, now it seems its just all about Victory..
Headlines like this: "The 2015-2016 Hyundai A-League season will kick off on Thursday 8 October with defending champion Melbourne Victory commencing its campaign a night later in a blockbuster encounter at Adelaide Oval"
Oh, need to read the fine print to see who is actually playing in the opening game though..

Had problems with the ****s sending a text message with a password every time you want to log in

The code kept coming up say A278638684

I kept typing in the numbers and kept getting my password incorrect.

Got barred for 24 hours

Not have time for another week or so and the problem was the letter counts.


Dumb ****ing system to access but once you access works well

Government websites are a disgrace, having worked from within the horror stories are numerous.

The best I know of - the ABR crashed for 4 days a few years back, why did it take that long to fix? They had to wait for the programmer to fly out from Hong Kong !

Many government staff are still on Windows XP and IE6......the Centrelink system is still based on the same mainframe system that was built in 1983 !

They just won't spend the money.

Drongos on Gumtree. First time I've ever used it, trying to give away a Queen bed frame and mattress. Some idiot asking me to tell him about it. Ahhhh, it's a queen sized bed with mattress - what more is there to say?

Shitty day.

Track work so had to get the bus tu Sydney.
Bus gets a flat, stranded on central coast for thirty minutes.
Now, flight delayed. If we don't board soon, might get cancelled entirely as I think there's a no fly curfew after 11pm or something.

****s in customer service who ask questions and then not listen to your answers.

How ****ing hard is it when making a sandwich at Subway that after asking what I want that they actually listen to my reply and take note of it so they don't have to ask me 4 times if I want this when I have already told them what I wanted???

Not rocket science.

Pay attention it isn't that hard

Come on man, how many orders must they take every day? It's best they be doubly/triply sure they don't put something on your sandwich that you don't want.

It cost you maybe 15 seconds and a few more breaths. Chill out

Apple iOs.

Forced my wife's phone to upgrade because it said it was deleting apps to force the installation. Made them so slow (4S).

Has anyone made the change from Apple to Samsung? What are your thoughts?

[boz-monaut]

Android is millions of times better than Apple

Apple force you to do everything in their stupid way, which is supposed to improve 'user experience' but basically just makes it so you can't do what you want and have to pay for it

I can see this discussion starting it's own new, nerdy, vitriolic thread

I had a friend tell me that after over a decade of using Apple products, his switch to Android felt like what he imagined people who escape Scientology feel like. Apple is pretty much a cult, getting by with inferior products on the back of a monstrous amount of marketing.

Convincing people that Apple is better than Samsung is like convoncing people Troy Hearfield is a more prolific goal scorer than Lionel Messi.

what I don't get is why they did it now. you've got a premier hell bent on amalgamations, why give him ammunition?

i made the switch to an android phone about 3 years ago from an iphone to a galaxy s3 to an s5 (which i promptly lost a week after i got), then ended up with a motorola moto G

can easily say the motorola is the best of the bunch and a third of the price. native android (no shitty skins and bloatware like the samsungs), drag and drop efficiency, and can run SD cards to bump up the storage. rips it, won't change from the moto series

if you want to go outside of the walled garden, android is yer mate. some people don't like it though and are perfectly happy with the iphone (i.e. my parents, thank god it just works most of the time hahaha)

that being said - i'm a convert to a macbook pro for work (quad-core i7, 16gb ram with an SSD), the thing is bulletproof and shits on any other laptop i've used from a great height. space, heat and performance wise it outstrips anything else on the market, and the build quality is impeccable. if i need to run windows software i use an oracle virtualbox to run windows 10 in parallel.

As a musician it pains me to say this but Macs piss all over the competition when it comes to DAW's. The reason is that Macs are electrically superior when it comes to grounding and that means no humming / digital noise when you record - the competition [if you can call it that] leave you with far too many clicks and pops.

Ken was McCloys boy, and Nelmes made it clear from day one he was gone as soon as she could get rid of him.

Ken was in favour of a merger (for the right reasons is debatable).
Nelmes and the rest know that ain't gonna fly politically so want someone who isn't as keen.
Then there was the unprecedented decision by Nelmes to approve her own expenses. Ken was not cool with that.

So you can't give your mates a few grand in a paper bag yet you can sign off on anything you need from the ratepayers cash.

Seems fair.


McCloy back IN.

[plague]

I also recently switched to a MacBook Pro.
It is very good.

Moto G is great hey. Loved mine until the gf knocked it into a pond :oops:

Now have the Moto G3 not releaseed yet in Australia, so it ain't all bad, viva españa etc. The G3 has a bigger screen (better visually but harder to hold), better camera and has some hand wavy things that make you feel like Harry Potter, but other than that it's the same and is also 3x as expensive as the first gen one so first gen is still king (have seen that for like $100, is ridiculous).

Generally I find the range of phones available from overseas vastly superior to the shit we have on offer in this country.

Only problem when buying overseas you need to check phone cases batteries screen protectors are readily available whether on the net or with a comparable option in this country.

So easy to get caught out
