How can the APL convince casual fans the A-League Men is worth supporting?
you’re right Micko, but those Nix supporters are not phased by it, they get stuck in and I love their passion

Grem, mate i just responded to the cerebral giant you have engaged with, I tried to keep my tongue in check

mate all I am going to say is have a chat to Adam Goodes and the Winmar boys.

no Moe probably comes from the booners of North Melbournem drives a Garbage truck and likes to stick to single syllables, but he’s a real Australian just ask him.

yep, ever sat in the crowd at an AFL match or an NRL match and just absorbed the dialogue around you. There’s a lesson to be learned there.

I’ve got mates in CBR and they’re dead keen. Get out and support them lad

Tell me what is inaccurate about my description. And I’m not insecure, by any means. AFL was saying football would be dead in a few years almost two decades back. A-League celebrates 20 years next year, football will surpass 2 million registered players this coming winter and we’re a global game. I don’t see Cross country volleyball being touted as the next Olympic sport, and come and see me when you have under 17s through to seniors competing internationally. And the prospect of a Genuine Cross country volleyball World Cup, mate there’s more chance of Putin becoming a Bhuddist monk. Big news in Cross country volleyball is that Fred Nerk is changing suburbs. Struth he’s moving from Richmond to St Kilda. Tommy Glover is playing for Middlesbrough and is wanted by Copenhagen Celtic Rangers and Newcastle in the EPL. And he’s not our number one keeper. Come and see me when you have a decent argument

excellent question. Because it’s not EPL!!! To get the attachment we have to get the people to the games, and to do that, Clubs have to be proactive in their engagement in their region. We don’t have media access like the backyard codes do, so A-League presence at grassroots football has to be everywhere. Can we employ suitable members of the A-League clubs to undertake this sort of promotion and engagement at their kid’s clubs on a Saturday morning? it’s a question that has to be asked and put under the noses of Club managment

Mrs FIL and I can’t wait for the Kiwi derby next year.

Murdoch propaganda is nothing short of toxic

Exactly Buddy, most Australians have no idea what it means to be a football supporter and follow your club through thick and thin, in good weather or bad. The clubs here need to engage grassroots more, and not just the kids when they kick a ball with the players. They need to engage the parents and reinforce that A-League is a really positive environment, and that the clubs want their support. Secondly, Australians are very fickle in their support. If the team is winning, every man and his dog is on the band wagon, but lose a few games and that’s it, they’re out. We need to build football culture in this country and to do that we have to conquer the media and the rubbish they disseminate about football.

“If you know where to look.” “Brisbane Roar can’t afford to pay the rent at Suncorp Stadium“. These are two of the key issues. Media access and government funding. The first of the two is a an absolute farce. Netball is being given more air time than football. Nothing wrong with netball, used to go out with a netballer when i was young, wonderful lass and those girls don’t hold back when they get wound up, but struth. We have our U/23s in the Asian Cup at the moment, we have Tommy Glover being scouted by Copenhagen, Celtic, Rangers and Newcastle United after a cracking season with Middlesbrough but is there any talk of that on the news or in the print media? Bugger all and none. We have the Olympics in a few months, there should be media chatter over who should be picked in the Olyroos squad, there should be media chatter about Irankunda playing his last match for the Reds and moving to Bayern Munich of all clubs, but nothing. It’s all about the backyard, and the World’s Highest Paying Probation Scheme or the Cross-Country Volleyball. What about government funding to football. 40,000 registered footballers in Taswegia alone, and a grand total of 19 dollars per head is afforded to football, but hey the Cross-Country Volleyball kiddies, who’ve been afforded the gift of early onset brain trauma by their parents, they get 500 bucks per head. In Newcastle football is feeding on rugby league fields like a possum in a caravan park, they cannot get enough playing space, but does local, state or federal government recognise this. Not bloody likely, because our elected representatives turn up to media conferences with a Collingwood or Rabbitohs scarf dangling from their bollards. When the old mentalities, the old stereotypes and the old cultures disappear only then will football get a fair crack. In fairness to the supporters, the crowds are slowly coming back. Well done to Nix fans for turning up in filthy weather to support their lads, well done to all those that rock up and watch the ALW, come on you Jets girls!! There was a good crowd at the Sydney Derby and the RBB has my respect. They worked through their issues with both the Police and the club and where bloody marvellous on Saturday night. We the Jets faithful, we have belief that we’ll be there next season, but if we aren’t my support is going to Nix because they’re doing it right. Even the Kiwi Sky commentators are brilliant. If you haven’t got the gist of things I am fed to the eye teeth with the bogan culture in this country, the naysayers, the bias and treatment of football by the media. Some young bloke got laid out cold on Saturday night at the Cross-Country Volleyball but hey, he’s hero. in 20 or 30 years time he wont remember the names of his family members but what a bloke!!! The Jets have won two on the trot, made Sydney look ordinary, played some great football and are playing for their lives, and the best we get is “if the Jets are around next season”. If it’s all so doom and gloom then get off your a@#es and go to a game. How can people say that the A-League is inferior if they don’t go to a game. Would you call the Nix game, the Reds game and the Derby boring games? The media, the supposed football fans, who “know” football, my guess is some of them will end up as politicians in the future. May the Almighty help us!!

I never tire of hearing the Yellow Fever singing for their team.
The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 24 - Sydney Derby takes centre stage and urgency for finals hopefuls
Come on you Nix!!!! There’s just a lot of goodness around Nix. They play honest football, their supporters are gold, I mean how many supporter groups organise the twelve pubs of Christmas!!
i hope that Mariners are tripped up, and Nix take the plate, if not, i want the Nix to take the GF, god bless em’. And you are right, Paulsen is a class act. In my opinion he should be up for keeper of the year. It’s only a matter of time for that lad, and he will be off to bigger and better things. By geez, they frustrated Victory. It was a master class in patience and taking your opportunity, and when they did, they big fella came flying in like a B52 on a low level run. That was an excellent illustration of why the A-League has so many positives. Mrs FIL has put her foot down too, she’s determined that we will be in the land of the big strong Bro for the first Kiwi derby. Hope you had a great weekend lads, bring on the football, it’s bloody marvellous.

Afternoon All,
Well, we are into the back end of the season and it’s getting interesting. Tonight’s game is going to be epic. Wellington need this game so badly it’s my hope that we break the cycle of the ‘regular winners” and Nix take the three points here so that they are still in the race for the Premiers Plate. Nix 1-0. Reds v Bulls at Cleansing Beverage Stadium will be another cracker in my opinion. Reds 2-1. Those mighty Jets proved nothing is certain in football, that’s why certain commentators were very quiet last weekend. Western are starting to get some form about them, and to do what they did last weekend, with a happy and settled Penha 2-2. Brisbane have been up and down and so have the Jets 2-2. Sydney have had more issues than the nightly news in the last few weeks and Wanderers are just starting to get some fire back in their bellies 1-1. City too good for the Purples City 2-0 and Western and Adelaide, Reds 2-1. Have a great weekend lads

Gents, I am no advocate in any way shape or form of simulation it brings the game a bad name. What I did observe was a senior player who got completely and utterly duped by a younger player who had his number. How silly was Mak to even respond!!! Not condoning any of the reaction from Cancar but he had Mak’s number when he was lacing his boots. Apart from the Cancar incident, the Jets proved that nothing is certain in football and in the first half they played Sydney off the park. But i do agree that simulation is only an embarrassment to the game. Two key points came from Sunday’s game, A) Play football, if you want to be a thespian, joint a theatre company and B) Senior players are there to lead by example, Mak did anything but.
Simulation crackdown: If they like the spotlight so much, put A-League actors up before the Match Review Panel
But as just advertised on P+ there are 89 games of football in 30 days, Asian Champions League, Matildas, Scottish Cup, FA Cup, U23’s Asian Cup, A-League M and W remaining rounds and finals, so for the football purist , this is just getting better and better. Sadly, the perception that football is the EPL and only the EPL shows that there needs to be rigourous advancement in football education in this country and, the Football Australia are subject to media bias and are, in a lot cases, relying on word of mouth outside 10’s FTA games to raise awareness.

Ahhhh how Cross-Country Volleyball is bathing itself in glory. They should change their marketing campaign to “you to can afford your kiddy early onset brain trauma and drug addiction, but it’s ok, they are AFL players”

Do you think that 10/Paramount who have the football market in the bag in Australia are going to let their monopoly go? Now that Optus is up for sale, I would suggest that also makes Optus’s chance of keeping the EPL rights far less. If 10/Paramount can nab the EPL rights they will then be absolutely laughing. Maybe I am wrong but if I am right, it’s a potential game changer.

I concur. The guy is not exactly selling the game
A-League avoids total embarrassment after broadcast partner goes belly up
he’s what you call a bandwagon jumper Grem. He wouldn’t know squat about the old Crystal Palace at Wallsend, that Stanley Matthews played there, that the likes Spurs, Bolton, Blackpool, Hungary, Austria, all played in Newy back in the day. Newcastle is one of the original football cities in this country period because all the English miners came here. Talk about shallow, superficial and ignorant. You can’t buy integrity
'Would be a tragedy': Can the Jets find a new owner, or are they about to spiral out of the A-League?
you just made a rookie error young fella, you assumed and assumption is the mother of all errors
