OT: Association Football

[Dibs]

Thailand are ranked world number 146. Australia are ranked world number 40.

In addition, up until last night, Thailand had not taken home a single point in this part of their campaign.

They played well, but the Roos were abysmal.

Of course they were their king didn't die

Getting ready for the Wanderers' weekly dose of disappointment...

COYV.

 

[Eelementary]

Don't care for the reason behind it, but I'm so glad Redmayne is out.

 

[Eelementary]

Lol Bulut, you pillock.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That little twig bartman would have been stoked with Bulut's early yellow card.

 

[Eelementary]

Booing Cahill should be punishable by castration and then death, tbh.

 

[phantom eel]

Unbelievable... they draw when they should win, and they draw when they should lose - WSW ruining my a-league tipping!

Bulut's a knob, 7min yellow card...

What do they do when they should draw? Work that out and seems like you should be tipping their result correctly every week

Hmm what has Timmy done to deserve that from the WSW fans ? No class.

 

[Suitman]

Get with the programme. Gronk.

 

[Gronk]

Get with the programme. Gronk.

You've lost me. Is not Timmy a good guy ?

 

[Suitman]

You think Hayne is self absorbed.
He has nothing on Cahill.

 

[Eelementary]

I just think Tim Cahill is a national treasure and a legend, and I, for one, would never boo the guy.

And even though Bulut carries on a bit, I love his passion and work ethic.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I agree Cahill is a national treasure but he's still a cock.

 

[Eelementary]

I agree Cahill is a national treasure but he's still a c**k.

That's fine- but don't you dare boo him!

 

[Suitman]

That's fine- but don't you dare boo him!

I didn't, just like I wouldn't boo Hayne, but plenty did, and I can understand why. Firstly, it's the Oztralyan way mate. Boo a hero.
2ndly, he was a complete douchebag last night from a home supporters point of view.
Thirdly, the way Man City, sorry Melb City have been gifted him by the FFA to appease their rich Arab owners and give rise to the struggling 2nd Melbourne team has been sickening. The FFA even changed the rules so Melb City could sign him. A "third marquee rule". lol.
We complain about the how the NRL salary cap and TPA's are a joke. The FFA aren't any better and the "Cahill Rule" has made a mockery of it. Is it any wonder that Gallop is in charge?
If they were clever, they would have made sure he went to a struggling club like the Mariners, because the FFA has a Marquee fund and that has subsidised some of Cahill's wages. Why not help a struggling club rather than one owned by oil sheiks?
It was not coincidence that their add campaign of "You Have To Have A Team" featured a young kid named Yoshi. He spent weeks choosing a team and guess who he chose? Go figure. Melb City
It's ironic that the kid lives in Western Sydney.

It's a joke, the FFA are a joke, and that's why he was booed.

That's why I said to Gronk this morning, which was a meant in a nice way......"get with the programme".
If this was RL, (and it's been suggested already many times elsewhere that it happened with Hayne), Gronk would be going off.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The game is better off with two strong teams in Melbourne. Derbies are great for the game.

Nah, it's all good - it was mostly tongue-in-cheek.

I, myself, would never boo the guy, because he's a football hero to me.

However, I understand why people do.

No shit Sherlock?
How could someone who is so smart, miss my point?
Unless, once again, they are trying to pick an argument. (That would be a surprise).

 

[Eelementary]

I reckon we played pretty well last night.

Snagging a draw with the red-hot City team is a valiant effort.

Also, it's pleasing to see Dimas's passing develop, and we are seeing just how good Nico is with the ball.

I also hope Tyson keeps his spot ahead of Redmayne.
