A-League thread

[gonzo]

Let me understand

Who is Sth Melbourne playing in their lowly league.  Ahh yes, it may be Westgate or Sandringham or Kingston or Oakleigh or Bentleigh Greens.  What games, what rivalries.  What a bunch of typical whining and whinging greek richmond supporters.  Get over it.  You're out of the league AND never to return.  Accept it.   

The A-League will never let an ethnic based team enter the league again.

By the way, good luck to Sth when playing the pretend teams this season.

Ohh and by the way I look forward to the posts when Sth are again rejected when the next Melbourne licence is issued.

GO VICTORY

The Japs pulled your teams shorts down Gonzo. Your boys rocked up and ready for the battle but the Japs had other plans, they turned up and went BANG- 4 times lol. Big Rexy Style. All you bandwagon jumpers singing scotland the brave expecting your rabble of a club to do the business, they sure did the business big man, they went to the dance and the Japs had there way lol. Victorys management should buy there players a carry on pack of KY... theyll need it in Japan when the Japs ram it up another 4 or 5 times. BANG! The End, The Victory are a rabble.  HAHAHAHAHAHA

The FFA won't be going back to the ethnic clubs so those old NSL clubs will just have to face that fact. They must be very naive if they expected their crowd numbers which weren't big anyway to hold up once they went back to state leagues.

The Rugby comparison doesn't really hold as club level Rugby was never popular and really it was restricted to the private school set. Rugby League always dominated the average person's heart and mind north of the border. Only when the Wallabies started winning in the 80s and then winning World Cups in the 90s did Rugby break out (at International and state level; not club level). Now that the Wallabies are struggling again and ironically Soccer has grown, Rugby has fallen away again.

The Victory and there supporters need to spend some time reflecting on there disastrous loss against the Japs rather than worrying about ethnic clubs. As Cockerill said, if the ethnic clubs decide to stop investing the game will be dead meat, the fact that the AFL is on the march in key markets will also produce massive pressures down the track. The South will rise Again.

By the way was anyone singing Scotland the Brave when the Japs stuck in there 4th goal lol.

I'll give South one thing Ramps. They can carry a weight above their shoulders. Like 11 other VPL sides  .

As if we did not know but the Victory's Asian Champions League campaign would be over now, that they are 1-0 down in their must win game.

Make that 2-0 down now with 72 mins gone. Victory getting smashed. Osaka with 65% of the possession. No Hernandez and Archie is showing.

Adelaide look good though. 3-1 up.

Well well well. Another FIASCO tonight.

Rumour has it when the Victory lads went out onto the pitch the Japs in the crowd started chanting

Pants Down 

Better luck next time Gents!

2008-9 A-league fixture has been released. Victory has 11 home games with Sydney FC first up away.

---------------------------

MELBOURNE Victory could line up against a second city rival in Victoria in as little as 16 months time if Football Federation Australia goes ahead with an audacious plan to expand the national competition from eight to 12 teams in one hit.

And it is understood there are a number of business and soccer identities forming consortium to battle for the right to hold a franchise in what has quickly established itself as Australia's biggest — and most profitable — soccer market, Victoria.

South Melbourne, a former National Soccer League champion, has also touted itself as a potential candidate if FFA is prepared to use a "traditional" club as the basis for a second A-league side in the manner the AFL did with its expansion into Adelaide. But the fact it has traditionally been perceived as a Greek club is likely to count against the club, even though officials have repeatedly stressed they want to set up a new entity completely separate to South Melbourne to mount an A-League bid.
