The game was played on shithouse pitches for over one hundred years in Australia. It has only been in the last thirty or so years maybe less that we have seen flat grounds with an even covering of grass on them.Originally Posted by MonkeyKplunk

Geez...just watch some 70s English First Division games to see what pitches used to be like.
What they USED to be like is beside the point.
We evolve, technology evolves, etc...
And players become overpaid and overprotected pussies - such is the modern world of football.
Watch the 1970 FA Cup Final and Replay for a reality check - poor surface, long ball and extreme violence.
I miss it - *sniff*
Agreed. Messi and C. Ronaldo would have shit themselves if they faced what Pele, Di Stefano, or Puskas had to back when yellow cards didn't exist. Sure you could get sent off but you'd practically have to kill someone back then to even get a caution.
And you never see any of the current players have a ciggy on the bench let alone at half time anymore ? Far too soft for my liking.

And imagine Ronaldo taking on Gentile in 1982 when Maradona was "the human pinball".
Absolutely. He would have owned Ronaldo. Too smart and too tough. Probably the greatest defender of all time - or top five at least.
Looks like there's an article on Musialik in today's Weekender in the Newcastle Herald

This is the exact type of person the club needs around it.

What is it about sportsmen being in Newy and drugs??
They live in the finest place on the planet for a start
Why they need the drugs for??
because they are awesome.
just spitballin?
oh, and its not just a 'Newy' problem.
Judging by the history of drug use with the local Drugby League team I would say it a very prevalent thing for Newy
maybe go read up on the West Coast Eagles AFL team from the '90s.
They made the Knights look like amateurs.
