Well Kyle if you don’t like what you are reading, do yourself a favour and stop reading. Simple and if you want your “expert” opinion voiced, write your own article.

What do you think Roarers? Do you like the idea enough to contact FFA to push for it?
No.
A crazy plan for the Soccerroos that just might work
Okay I see that I made an error there but like most other stupid comments it is pathetic that that is the only thing you grasp out of the whole article.
Is Edwards on the way out at the Glory?
What do you mean how does that work? Cameron is five months older then Ryan..
Is Edwards on the way out at the Glory?
The Edwards boys may not be letting their father down but they are letting their club down.

I was one who thought earlier in his test career that he was too predicable and even though he lacks the arsenal of deliveries of the likes of Warne, he has the ability to play to his strengths which is not the case with many first class spin bowlers.
Will Lyon end up Australia's most successful off-spinner?
he was a top player in the Dutch league you ignorant twit
Wilkshire axing opens up new versatility for Socceroos
Lucas Neil whilst he needs to retire, is not the former captain yet.
Golden Socceroos passing their used by date
I can’t believe I read this whole article to be told the football is run by politics. Joe Blogs on Main Street could have told me that.
Should the World Cup expand to 40 teams?
This is a fair point however someone would go just to see Gallas. We will just have to wait and see
Sorry Craig, the A-League needs more players like Gallas
No only is it a good opportunity for young glory defenders it is a good opportunity for all of Perth’s players
Sorry Craig, the A-League needs more players like Gallas
I agree with you on many fronts there BUT the point about that epl is many ALeague fans want the league to be more like the EPL so maybe it is heading in the desired direction?
Sorry Craig, the A-League needs more players like Gallas
The best teams are BUILT on defence unlike Sydney FC who are trying to build around an ageing number 10.

Firstly I gather from the name you are a Forest supporter which is your first mistake. Secondly, most sides in the English lower leagues do not play with a more modern technical approach to that game and the A-League tactical set ups are far more advanced. If you can’t see that you must be watching the wrong sport.
Your point in regards to promotion/relegation is an interesting point and I do believe you are right in saying the standard overall would go up.
How would A-League clubs fare in England?
Yes I agree, the A-League is a very watchable league. Posters rambling on about the English 5th tier must think we are talking about a different sport haha.
How would A-League clubs fare in England?
Very fair statement Jukes and that is what sites like the Roar are for, stirring up conversation.
One point that I agree with you on is the point of many self proclaimed experts knocking the A-League. The national competition is a fine example of how a new league can develop rapidly in a short period of time. I did not write this article to underpin the A-League or any of the 10 clubs in it, it was purely written to spark conversation about the A-League and how the different clubs are progressing.
Some people are commenting that there isnt a huge margin between the A-League and the EPL and indeed there is not a HUGE margin but there is still a margin, WHICH the A-League is steadily breaching. However in response to Jukes again, it isnt always fair to compare two vastly different leagues but if you don’t compare you won’t be able to improve.
How would A-League clubs fare in England?
you certainly can Tissot Time as the finished off my successful multi!
How would A-League clubs fare in England?
Fuss you are just assuming that I and the other people commenting do not keep a tabs on the English lower leagues. If you look at my Bio you will see that my favourite side is Middlesbrough who surprise surprise play in the second tier
How would A-League clubs fare in England?
Juric is no where near as good as Dukes YET, hopefully one day he may be
How would A-League clubs fare in England?
if you read the article i stated that that sort of performance would not be repeated week in week out.
How would A-League clubs fare in England?
This is true but maybe ALeague clubs would struggle with longer seasons and 5degree kickoffs
How would A-League clubs fare in England?
Yes this is true, when I first got all the rumoured prices it was in pound and euros but for the sake of Aussie readers i changed it to Aussie dollars.
