Passion more important than 'old soccer- new football' debate
24 Apr 2012It is an age-old debate. Is it called soccer? Is it called football? Just as importantly, does it even matter?

Newcastle's Squadron following the wrong team
17 Dec 2011The F3 derby was a non-contest on the pitch, but yet so was the contest in the stands. While the Mariners completely outplayed a clueless Newcastle side, who are the Jekyll and Hyde of the A-League when it comes to home/away form, the Jets fans equally outplayed the home mob with similar aplomb.
