Injuries are starting to test Victory's depth although we should finish in the top 4 from here with just 7 H/A matches left. Hopefully Milligan is back this week.

Perth Glory's coach Ian Ferguson has been sacked. That's the 4th A-league coach given the flick this season.

had to admire the wanderers since i saw their fans beat the poo out glamour fc supporters one lovely sunday afternoon in the inner city

none of this faux tough guy poo of ripping out seats and throwing flares "victory" style, just good honest street thuggery

gotta love the westies 

Beat the poo out of them with open handed slaps I bet. Bean flickers......

No one cares what you think, Dookie.

For followers of the old NSL clubs now in state leagues, the FFA today announced a new/reorganised "National Premier Leagues" where the champions of each state league will participate in national play-offs at the end of the state leagues' seasons (end of winter). Initially it will involve the state leagues from NSW, SA, Qld, Tas and the ACT this year with Vic, WA and the NT joining in in 2014. The idea is create the 2nd tier of Aussie Soccer which will underpin the A-league. This according to Gallop will lead into a FA-Cup style comp. aimed to begin in 2015 and eventually a wish to have promotion & relegation to and from the A-league (Gallop spoke about it being 5 years away which is wishful thinking in my opinion). All this is being done so the A-league will comply with the AFC rules and so the A-league will regain back its second ACL spot.

more rubbish aimed at destroying the old ethnic clubs. an absolute disgrace organised by a bunch of flogs.

The old ethnic clubs are more or less dead and buried .it seems most are held together by a bunch of oldtimers.The younger generation has left them in droves,and never to return.Shame in a sense as it was part of our sporting landscape for many years
