OT: Association Football

[Suitman]

good signing considering its the A League

Same as Costa signing for ESFC.
2 big A-League signings within a week.

 

[84 Baby]

Yeah you know me

Pou, drop a (front) load on em

 

[Gronk]

How the f**k did you lose that.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The Gold Coast is where you go when you’re tired of having a go. The Socceroos really bought in.

Yeah the only sporting teams that ever have success on the Gold Coast are the away side.

If you combine all the NRL/AFL/A-League sides that have been based up there.

The winning% it's an ugly record.

I assume he is talking about the people in general and not just sports

 

[King-Gutho94]

Yeah I thought he was too.

But it's interesting that every sporting team based on the Gold Coast has been an utter failure.

I can't find one

Gold Coast Seagulls,Chargers, Giants between 1988-1998 - Rubbish
Titans since 2007 - Piss poor
Gold Coast United in the A-league lasted 4 seasons.
Gold Coast Suns in the AFL haven't played a final in there 15 year existence.

Gold Coast Rollers NBL team is where it's at.... Good old Mike Mitchell and Andre LeFleur used to carve up!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

This Indonesian side is full of Dutch reserve graders. But Muhammad Ferarri is home grown.

Another inept performance with the ball. I love Souttar but we pass the ball back to him then the passing around the backs is so slow and there’s zero movement off the ball. I don’t which one is the cause and which the effect but it’s clearly why we don’t make any chances other than off long balls and also why we make opposition forwards look like defensive masters. It’s embarrassing to watch

And what's with our finishing?

We have been so poor at finishing for decades now...

Half a chance in front of goal, and we will likely fluff it.

Our shots from 35 yards out look like pop-gun shots.

Meanwhile, world-class talents shoot from beyond the arc, and it's a bloody rocket.

Was thinking what the f**k happened to Charlie Yankos

Phenomenal goal.

Though I think our Goal Of The Century now belongs to Tim Cahill, with his cracker against The Netherlands.


As a Australian, I'm never confident when we make a break - we always look nervous in front of goal.

European, and South American, players have that arrogance/killer instinct about them - one-on-one with the keeper, a d they back themselves, every time.

 

[Suitman]

Anyway, a World Cup winner for Spain, and also Chelsea and Man U star, Juan Mata, arrived in Sydney this morning.
He received a decent welcome.

 

[the phantom menace]

Let's hope the RBB aren't fickle this season, and don't turn - or turn their backs on - him by say Round 5.

 

[Suitman]

Lets hope you stop commenting on shit you know nothing about.

 

[the phantom menace]

Exhibit A: RBB WSW "fans" turning their backs on the team.


Exhibit B: RBB WSW "fans" walking out on the team.


Ficklest bunch of self-absorbed "fans" I've read about. Give a bad name to the average WSW punter who just wants to support their team trying to do well.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They support the team by paying their money ffs. As if the players notice what direction they’re facing.

A photo of my seats at Craven Cottage yesterday.

A great day that got deflated by West Ham scoring an equaliser in the last 45 seconds to draw 1-all.

It felt like watching Parramatta lose a game at the death. I thought i was due some good luck on the sporting front.

Ironically there were a lot of Aussies around us who live in london said they enjoy coming to Craven Cottage 2 or 3 times as it's a great stadium and atmosphere.

The renovations are nearly complete just a few finishing touches on the top of the riverside stand to be completed by end of season.

The riverside walkway is now opened and they allow you to enjoy a beer or two out the back on the walkway by River Thames post game with TV screens on for the 5pm game.
