Can't wait. Looking forward to Australia not entering contesting youth world cup or confed tournaments anymore because Greg Griffin vetoes itQuote:

The aleague clubs should not be running the game.
The aleague itself? Maybe, but I’m wary of where that lead with the NSL. I’d prefer a somewhat even comp than to have clubs falling by the wayside trying to match the spending that other clubs are doing.
yeah sorry lemme edit that for a little minute.Quote:

In 2030 there will be a second division with promotion/relegation, heres how the 2nd division works etc etc etc. If we need a salary cap then outline it. These knee jerk decisions they make with the A-League are a joke. They need to get out of the day to day operations of the game.
I want the A-League clubs running the A-League. From TV deals, to sponsorship, to their own youth development. If the clubs were smart they would partner with local federations to get their players. But if they want to go solo and just pay top dollar for juniors then fine. That way a piss poor club like the Gypos may at least have a chance of 'selling' players to other clubs etc in order to pay the bills. If our billionaire owner wants to do it via his other clubs in Europe/Asia then awesome. We no longer have travel agents and Amway salesmen owning clubs. Let the ego filled rich pricks swing their dicks. Lets face it, all the parity rules the FFA have in place are a joke anyway. Citeh found a way around it, Sydney just lean on the FFA to get what they want, why bother trying to make things 'fair'.
If the A-League owners want to change any aspect of the constitution they go to the FFA* for approval. That way they are reliant on an independent arbiter to decide any major changes.
I want the federations running junior development, from mini-roos through to NPL level. I want the NPL clubs to get money from player transfers, the new system implemented through the NPL clubs backed by the Jets makes sense. Why cant we have every A-League club partnering up?
NNSW should have zero say in what happens to the A-League, and the Socceroos. They need to know their role.
* by FFA i mean the new incarnation with hopefully less Lowy's than usual.
Until I tell you they are actually my seats.Quote:

I'd like to announce that I will remain a plastic fan for the 2018-19 season, attending on an ad hoc basis. I'll certainly be there to watch Usain!
I greatly enjoyed being a Jets supporter in 2017-18. The transition from Vuck fan was made easy by the Vuck being arseholes generally and undeserving champions particular.
I can't wait to become a genuine supporter like Plague, and will monitor my reputation rating on this website to see whether it is worth doing so.
Good work Gary. Is Emily back for the Jets Women?Quote:

If Lowy and co were doing a competent job at running the game this idea doesnt even get off the ground as the Gypos would either be relegated by now or focusing on actual football not weak arse publicity stunts like this
Ffs, give Nerds FC a license please.
Riley McGree officially nominated for the Puskas award.
Winning it would be a nice momento now that he is retired.
Who's McGree?
Are you talking about the scorpion kick Griff scored off the bench?
More importantly there are reports on Twitter that the dumb ****s have finally decided to bin the NCIP most likely thganks to Azzurris challenge to them
About ****ing time they actually done this
Now if they would do the right thing and let an ethnic team in the HAL we can all start to move ****ing forward
Bloke took the throw in to Griff i think.Quote:

Because funnily enough, its the Americans going ballistic that neither her or Rapinoe are there. Maybe its part of the ANZUS treaty but sad that we have to rely on the Yanks to defend us again.
The Sam Kerr non-nomination is unfathomable.Quote:

Except that my post said that the outrage was coming from mainly American media. shes very well known/respected in that league.Quote:

But yeah, anyway.

For me personally, on a national team level I would prefer to watch her play than any of the members of the Socceroos squad ( I know my opinion doesn't matter).

The main issue with that list is Marta making the top 3 when she is lucky to make the Brazil squads these days. She has been over taken by younger better players.
