Thanks BH. I did wonder if it was Lennon playing silly buggers at times.Quote:

There doesn’t seem to be many bad games in that league. It’s the way football should be played, two teams attacking and trying to win. I’ve still never seen a 0-0.Quote:

Shouldn't be a problem - they moved it from Friday night to Saturday, presumably because the restrictions end at midnight Friday. Crowd will be limited - The AFL game is capped at 35000, I think, in a 60000 seater stadium. Glory's ground holds about 20000, so should be allowed 10-12000 - and we rarely get that many :wink:Quote:

Team selections last season were odd - Popovic kept picking his sons who, regardless of opinions on their potential, which ranged from very promising to completely useless, were clearly not ready to play for a team that should have been challenging to be champions. Then lots of players left and their replacements (Nabbout and Atkinson) backed out of their contracts to stay in the eastern states. This season we started with a rookie coach, a handful of quality, but aging, stars (Castro, Fornaroli, Keogh, Kilkenny) and a bunch of local kids. We have actually played some really nice football at times, but are inconsistent and have become pretty toothless in attack - IMHO because we tend to overplay everything and could do with moving the ball quicker. We have a real lack of pace in the side, which only exacerbates this problem. I blame Tony Sage (owner). I can't help but picture him as a bullying dictator rather than someone who fosters an "all for one and one for all" club culture - but I've never met him, so I could be wrong and he is actually the world's nicest man :greengrinQuote:

Fred, do you think there will ever be two leagues with promotion and relegation ? I love watching the football but wondered if there was any scope for another league or are the teams outwith the top league miles behindQuote:

Keep meaning to watch more of these matches but always forget until I see this thread and it's too late.
Watch out for A League title decider next Sunday 27th June Play Off Final :

Jamie MacLaren signed another two year deal at Melbourne city.
Won't be playing in the Grand final against Sydney as he will still be in hotel quarantine.

Winners of today’s game crowned Champions of Australia.
5-05pm kick off where I am…..think that translates to an 8-05 am kick off in Scotland.

No doubt Jamie MacLaren will get among the goals too.,
20 minutes to the start of a new season

Should be a win to Melbourne, but as I have wagered $50 on them who knows!
