SA Footy

the only way Adelaide can lose top spot now is if Syndey win their remaining 4 games, and United lose their 3.
i have a feeling it will easily be a certainty by next friday night.

I notice that ion the news this morining that there was **** all crowd at the glory vs Juve/Hellas match last night

Has the A league Wog ball bubble burst already?

I don't know what we true supporters of Australian Football were worried about

Roll on the footy season

nah far from burst, perth just dont have that much support this year, and with crap weather on top of that didnt help, but the crowds are getting stronger in Adelaide and Sydney.

Don't even say that in jest, Juve and Hellas are traditional clubs with a lot of history.
Not this made up crap that appeals to movie goers.
A League is like the WWE, lots of whistles and bells but artificial, still can't blame them, it gets the fools through the gate.

It's appropriate that they now play for a toilet seat, that's about all its worth IMHO.

Not sure how you arrive at Artificial mate, the re-structuring of the competition had to occur if Soccer was going to succeed in this country ... Whilst we all hated what became of our SANFL and how everything is AFL-oriented, the difference with the A-League is that whilst it's the highlest level in the country, it's not the highest level on the planet...

Oh and another thing,

Wasn't the the definite article league supposed to keep the good players here? In that case WTF is the go with Thompson going off to wear clogs and frequent the herb shops of Amsterdam?

Who are the people who haven't matured yet and started to watch the a real football code going to watch now? Some kid from Adelaide Juve U/13 black?

1980 Tassie Medallist,

you come across as someone with an extremely narrow view of things and feel the need to belittle things that are different to your liking. A sign of insecurity and exactly what's wrong with our society today. No need to be so defensive and small-minded there.

I grew up loving soccer and rugby league among other sports, and never felt the need to belittle something I didn't like. I grew up to embrace everything rather than fear it.

On the contrary I grew up playing soccer and as I said previously, when intellegence kicked in, I rediscovered Australian Football, our great game, and the rest the say is history........

Just waiting for the rest of the world to wake up and discover the virtues of real football, not the kiddies stuff......

My opionion and I'm sticking to it....

FYI I lived in the NT for 13 years so I tried League too, it was all we got on Aunty, once again, I want sophisticant sports, not mind numbing "entertainment"......

Hopefully, the Leaguies wake up to themselves soon too......

So it is not like I haven't tried the other would be football codes.....

Juve and Hellas have history, and thats all thank god. About time we had a decent league.

Exactly Tassie. It's your opinion and nothing else. Kinda of biased and narrow minded but nevertheless it is a contribution. Thankyou for putting so much effort in to a topic you care little for.

Its a 'strange' tension feeling I get when I read posts like Tassie's. On the one hand I think oh just ignore it, don't encorage ignorance (ie the subjective stated as if it were objective), but on the other hand ............
