Bought a ticket last night - Behind Goals in the New End Top tier a few rows from the front.
Might Even Look to head straight to airport at FT and take the Red Eye and save on a hotel room
as someone who's done the red-eye a few times I'd recommend that plan
there's also the option to fly back to Melbourne on the red-eye and then from there to Newcastle on a 6:30am flight
Ideally I would like to go Newy to Melbourne to Perth and back the same way. Will look at that as my first option and way up extra costs.Quote:

check out the costs of going through Brisbane as well - it's not that much longer and can be much cheaper
Many seriously considering travelling to Russia 2018?
I figure 2022 is a no go for me, so it's either Russia 2018 or presumably USA 2026, which wouldn't be bad, but is 11 years away.
Not batting an eyelid.Quote:

Not to mention my perceptions of Brazil before I left and the reality of Brazil are chalk and cheese.
I am backing Russia is nowhere like it is perceived.
As for the politics of Russia and Putin quite frankly none of our business how they run their country and the Australian media shows him off poorly as he is not aligned with the USA and we are
also because Putin is a massive cúnt
and screw the none of our business cop out - if they want to beat up on gays and kill political rivals, I've got a right to call then cúnts and not go there or do business with them
I for one def want to go to russia, hopefully have 2 sides again (Aussie and Switzerland)
Wholeheartedly agree.Quote:

ANGE Postecoglou has made two changes to the Socceroos squad to face Kyrgyzstan in the opening 2018 World Cup Qualifier with Massimo Luongo and Trent Sainsbury ruled out with minor injuries.
Sainsbury (hamstring) and Luongo (ankle) have been replaced by uncapped duo Daniel de Silva and Croatia-based defender Tomislav Mrcela called into the squad.
Mrcela has been selected following consistent good form for NK Lokomotiva Zagreb in the Croatian first division. The Perth-born central defender left Australia as an 11-year-old but has been on Postecoglou’s radar for the last two years.
De Silva has been drafted into the Socceroos squad after catching Postecoglou’s eye in recent Young Socceroos’ matches on the back of some strong performances for Perth Glory in the Hyundai A-League.
“It is a shame to lose Massimo and Trent but it gives an opportunity for two young players who we have been watching for a while in Tomislav and Daniel,” Postecoglou said.
“Daniel is a prodigious talent who has been progressing well and after watching him play for the Young Socceroos against the likes of Brazil and Mexico he has earned a chance with the Socceroos. Tomislav has put together two strong seasons in Croatia and he is a big strong central defender we think can add something to the squad.”
Both players will join their Socceroo team mates in Dubai for a training camp starting on 8 June ahead of the clash with Kyrgyzstan at the Dolen Omurzakov Stadium in Bishkek on 16 June.
Umm great to lose a Gypo unfortunate to lose Massimo and good to see DeSilva get a run but who the **** is this other bloke Mrcela??
He's been a shout for a few years, lots of people who focus on OS football have been screaming for his call up to the squad, particularly the guys over at OS Aussies.Quote:

Not knocking the kid but gee I hope he ain't getting a run just cause he is playing in Europe so he must be good and lets see what he can do shit
Pretty much everything good to ever happen in Australian football is because of our Croatian/Australian links.Quote:

I'd rather see a young, recommended guy playing in Croatia get Australian caps before another Simunic (who, lets be fair, was outrageously good and one of Australias biggest ever losses) scenario happens, than to see us persist with the likes of your mate Alex Wilkinson and others who are doing not noteworthy anything drastically better in K-Leagues and other places.
Give him a run, remind him which nationality he should play for in the potential scenario he goes on to be a world beater, and if he fails then don't use him again.
