What a joke. All games should kick off at the same time like in every other footballing nation.

That would send the game backwards in Australia, we do not have the television audience to do such a thing. If television went to s**t the sport in Australia would be stuffed at A-League level. It seems a joke but if anything Adelaide are best placed in terms of the time of their game in the league.....First things first if Adelaide win it will be a 75% chance we will go top, we control our own fate....

EPL doesn't play all games at the same time or even day ... I'm sure other leagues are the same.

I know this and I don't expect the A-League to either, I am just talking about the last day of the season. The EPL plays every game at the same time on the same day in Round 38.

Ah okay. I wondered about that ... Fair point you make, but I guess as said above the TV deal wouldn't allow it and the deal's pretty important for football and it's current place in Oz sport.
