    Saw enough to suggest Hoole will succeed under Arnie. Radio and TV commentators were high in their praise. Amazing what blinkers come off when youu put on a Smurf shirt. Probably be a Socceroo by Christmas!

    to be fair, a better coach is probably also playing a part, even after 1 week!

    I think the more pressing question is, what ensemble was he wearing during the day?

    Easy enough to stream all 15 beIN channels for free via Kodi or similar.

    If only our internet speed came into the 21st century !

    So, appears Channel 9 are going full tilt with the football coverage.

    http://www.9jumpin.com.au/show/week-of-soccer/

    Not only that but you can watch the full games afterwards. Right now, you can go there and watch LA Galaxy vs Club America (MEX).

    I didn't quite realise just how much football they were broadcasting the next month or so... 25 games or something ridiculous all live streamed on that site or on GO!/GEM.

    I just signed up for the season of EPL on demand through Fox sports. I don't want to pay for all the shit foxtel content I never watch.

    So now a regular watcher of Bein Sports, EPL on demand. I asked Murray Shaw (Fox Football Producer) if they will do on demand/streamed live a-league content, which I would sign up for too.
    Go jetties

    I pay $9/month, but I am still an old setanta customer and told them that if they up the price I quit.

    Think it's usually $16

    A-League's free-to-air coverage relegated to SBS2

    Free-to-air coverage of the A-League has been relegated to SBS2, Football Federation Australia boss David Gallop has confirmed.

    The broadcast demotion is a blow for the league after months of negotiations with the Nine Network and Channel Seven have so far failed to bear fruit.

    A-League bosses had hoped to move the free-to-air (FTA) broadcast at the mid-way point of a four-year deal, shared with subscription broadcaster Fox Sports.

    The recently concluded billion-dollar AFL and NRL rights deals have complicated matters, with the two dominant codes occupying executive attention at major networks.

    With the A-League less than a month away, there is growing certainty that the 2015/16 A-League season will stay with the multiculturally-focussed national broadcaster.

    "It's been reasonably well documented that FFA and SBS have explored alternatives," Gallop said in Melbourne on Wednesday.

    "The game of (AFL and NRL rights) musical chairs has stopped with the season so close.

    "We're expecting to be on SBS2 and we'll work hard with SBS to make it work."

    Gallop said despite the move to the sparsely-watched channel, he was "optimistic about our ability to have an improved year for TV ratings" overall in 2015/16.

    The most recent campaign was interrupted in January for the Asian Cup, and competed against the Cricket World Cup, also hosted in Australia.

    Gallop said his expectations of another closely-fought title race would also help lift interest in the A-League's 11th season.

    "We didn't quite hit the numbers that we'd like to have hit (last season)," Gallop said.

    "But if you look across the rosters of the 10 teams we think we're going to have a highly competitive season.

    "All that augurs well for setting us up for the next TV deal and talks around that have already commenced."

    It is no secret FFA has been disappointed with the ratings and coverage of the league since winning a share of the latest broadcasting rights two seasons ago.

    After one lacklustre season on SBS2, FTA coverage of Friday night football was moved to SBS One for the 2014/15 campaign.

    One year ago, Gallop applauded the move to SBS One.

    "This is a pivotal move for Australian football and reflects the games vibrant role in the mainstream of our society," he said in August 2014.

    "The move of A-League broadcasts to SBS One is sign of SBS's commitment to the game and underlines the booming popularity of the A-League ... I commend SBS for this initiative."

    SBS2 competes for the title of Australia's least watched television channels.

    OzTam ratings reports show the digital channel has less than a one per cent share of audience.

    Move over everyone, something doesn't effect MFKS so therefore should hold no importance to anyone!
