Koala Bear: Jaredsbro said: Yes but KB as many have already spoken about there is nothing like calling your sport football, whether this is the politically correct thing to do or not. Forgive me, but that statement reminded me of a...
Jaredsbro: How? Political correctness in Australia is advocating for the re-naming of Soccer to ‘Football’ . Sydney’s media seems to be leading this crusade and this is fine as long as people are aware of the debate, as...
The Bear: Politically correctness dressed as regional sensitiviity is the driving force behind the original poster’s tone. You are running the risk of appearing hypocritical here, J’sbro. Too much champas giving you a...
sheek: Adrian, Good article. When I first started following different sports in the late 60s, Boxing day was one hell of a day, sporting-wise. There was the cricket, & start of the Sydney to Hobart. But also, these were the days when...

Dave: KB No l havent rang in yet. The media attention to the game in Melb (HS & Age) has been very poor (about 14 pages in from back page in HS and page 10 of 14 page sport supplement in the Age). Hard to understand as nothing else...
Jaredsbro: I’d usually put this in the too hard basket, but I’ve got time so I’ll join the war er ah Roar The problems deeper than just about Sport isn’t it? Women still have to live up to a double standard and...
Kazama: My apologies The Bear. Please pretend your name isn’t alongside Mattay’s in my post above.
