I wouldnt be so sure – after the way they lifted on Saturday night I’d give them a fair chance of winning if they made it that far

It's time the APL came clean on the state of the game in the A-Leagues

No argument there Grem – I only originally suggested that for regulars to keep turning up they need an attachment to one of the teams on the park – in many cases it probably does grow over time – my g f was only there under sufferance at first but she loves WSW now (and me I hope!) Cheers mate

How can the APL convince casual fans the A-League Men is worth supporting?

Damn! there goes my theory then. Funny thing is, however did you talk to so many expats? Did you ask my Grandfather who lives in Tewantin, Queensland who follows Parramatta Eels cos he once lived here and played in the juniors?

How can the APL convince casual fans the A-League Men is worth supporting?

There are numerous sporting codes that represent my city or region. I do not feel in any way disposed to “have an attachment” to any of them – except Football and Hockey. Why? Football – Two of my best friends play in the lower divisions of an NPL club and several more friends and I go and watch then usually party on after. Hockey – My girlfriends sister plays. Subsequently g f and I go to her games. Hockey takes precedence over Football when she is playing. The day she stops playing will be the day I become “unattached” to Hockey. I will always be attached to WSW because my friends from high school took me to my first ever A League match which was at Bankwest Stadium and I loved it. However I mostly watch on TV cos im often elsewhere . But that was the catalyst that got me attached to WSW. Hope this helps.

People who turn up at matches on a regular basis need to have some form of attachment to one of the clubs on the park, simple as that. Up to the clubs I suppose.

Well thats Adelaide for you (btw, whatever happened to Adelaide Andy?) I’m glad for Nestory’s sake that he missed the penalty. Will do him good.

Macarthur spoil Irankunda's Adelaide farewell as 10-man Bulls survive last-gasp penalty in absolutely wild game

thats why they get away with it

Simulation crackdown: If they like the spotlight so much, put A-League actors up before the Match Review Panel

It’s o k to damage him now it seems

Irankunda sensationally turns down Olyroos spot in baffling update - and Vidmar left in lurch on eve of qualifying

There has been a lot of face burying in the turf and staying down lately with players flopping down after a feather touch. A pathetic blight on our sport. Why arn’t the actors penalised for bringing the game into disrespect.

Western United's football-specific facility is a milestone worth celebrating

Joke it may well have been but it’s a long time since Tottenham have scored until into the second half despite often having the lions share of possession. Not only that they have gotten out of jail with seconds remaining more than once. Terrible defensive record, Bissouma has become a liability. Hope they manage 4th spot, they have a game to spare on Villa

'Never looks for those clutches, Sonny': Ange's Spurs back on track after dramatic win, Newcastle stun Hammers

At the very least Frank Lowy, a true legend of the game, had Footballs interest at his heart most of his life. While he had significant influence where it counted his biggest hurt must have been losing face over the $56,000,000 Government grant resulting in a single W C vote. Sadly the state of affairs currently facing the A L may come to hurt him even more, if not already.

A-League avoids total embarrassment after broadcast partner goes belly up

Why they haven’t permanently damaged their vocal chords is beyond me

A-League avoids total embarrassment after broadcast partner goes belly up

Its been my fervent wish that there was only a single commentator calling a match on T V. Most of the time they just chat among themselves about something that happened years ago or what so and so is doing overseas and so on.

Four reasons for the turnaround. Our passing game improved out of sight. We learned to stay onside. Goodwin. The opposition wasn’t all that interested.

'I'm over it': Arnie's anger that sparked Socceroos WCQ rout, Goodwin 'stole the night' as Yengi off the mark

One way to get Soccer into the headlines again!

The improvements needed to bring the A-Leagues back to prominence

It was a valid case for womens Soccer

Football in Australia must never stop fighting for its fair share of funding

spot on Scout

Get off the Socceroos' backs! One training session, a win against Lebanon and still people fail to understand Asian football

Unfortunately in the minds of the masses there is an intractable belief in the old adage “Give a dog a bad name and it sticks to it”. It is not unreasonable to understand that the action by minorities keep feeding this impression. These unfortunate incidents are always going to crop up occasionally and sometimes seem to happen at the worst of times. These are not the sole domain of our sport but some would seem promote that assertion for whatever reason. All that can be done is to come down hard on troublemakers and keep the faith.

How do A-League fans convince police that passion is not a crime?

She has had her moments but lacks the class for this level of competition imo.

Matildas 35yo scores seven minutes into fairytale return as Fowler and Foord finish off Uzbekistan

I’m amazed to see V E in the squad let alone in the starting line up. And number 9 at that.

Mine was the same. I thought the match must have been deferred. Also i have a lot of problems with live streaming on Paramount with it crashing my tv at various intervals. I have a Samsung smart tv which I understand is “not strong enough” I have no problems with live streaming on STAN.

Wanderers play victims again as Rudan launches childish, Trump-like conspiracy theories

It surely wasnt the Lads fault. Moreover you would have to question why he was selected to join the squad in the first place. A defender from a struggling team with a poor defensive record in the lowly rated Scottish league. And bringing him on at such a critical time at that.

Are we a mature enough football nation to honestly discuss the Socceroos?

There is always our Matildas!

Ha – fancy bringing on a Hibs player

'Devastating', 'painful', 'punished': Socceroos OUT of Asian Cup after Miller's moments of madness

But if it came to a shootout I think I’d prefer the Saudis

The Socceroos aren't the only 'favourite' battling their way through the Asian Cup... It's a bloody hard tournament
