I’d like to credit Dr Mark Bowman for the phrase ‘yawning giant’. It is the title of his book which was launched along with mine back in April. Cheers Dr Bowman.
Jewel in the crown: Just how much are Socceroos and Matildas worth to the broadcasters?
…ill repute I’d suggest based on recent employment developments!
Cut the crap, money talks and Bill Foley’s new Auckland licence is exactly what the A-League needs
Yep, it is a little odd. If Foley ain’t interested, where does the next team come from? Seems to me those voices come from delusional NSL folk who think the second division will return their teams to the top flight in short time.
Cut the crap, money talks and Bill Foley’s new Auckland licence is exactly what the A-League needs
She could actually buy the entire Liberty A-League, salary cap to $20 or $30 million per team and make it the best league in the world. Sadly, she is a little picky where she spends her money.

I was thinking more of the Shaky Isles Sh#tfight. Has a ring to it I reckon.

Great, that made my day Waz! Dunedin?

Macarthur will be fine in the long term in my view. I know Sydney but am not exactly sure where Western United expand and build a base. Auckland looks an exciting term in my view.

Not bad to turn up when you don’t actually have a horse in the race though. That shows a real keenness for football and this dude looks a winner on and off the field.

Live blog of the match tonight everyone. Join me from 7.45pm for the pre-game and kick-off at 8pm (AEDT).
The Socceroos are set for their easiest World Cup qualification ever - but will that hurt Australian football?
Certain to be pots, probably rankings based. Interesting to see whether FIFA look as using earlier qualification rounds as a basis for the pots in the future, especially considering how many rounds of qualification they have now introduced.

One of the most fraudulent people I’ve ever met in football. Says plenty, but nothing and did absolutely zip for the game whilst in charge.
The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 1
Sure will mate. Saturday night, Sydney FC vs Victory. I’ll be doing at least a game a week and Newcastle United’s number 1 fan Texi Smith, when he returns from the UK, will also be providing some coverage.
The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 1
You sound like you are pumped up as me! I’ve tried to join a club in the off-season, had a crack at Adelaide first, then a few others and none seemed able to accommodate an out of state member who wanted a flexible package that allowed them to watch matches in NSW when their team was travelling. A tad disappointing.
The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 1
I’d guess there is many a writer in Australia asked to cover the A-League who rarely watches a match, if ever. Mike and I are very proud of our long term commitment to Australian football, despite the fact that we will also be critical where required. Not everything written is greeted with a chorus of agreement, but the Roar can be proud that the copy is strong, clear and informed. I’d love a Newy win to start the season!

I thought you were going to say ‘bucket boy’ then and my buttocks clenched!
The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 1
Agree, seems like a perfect way to start the season.

It is all Bulls talk here in Sydney. Those outs are significant.

I’d love a crack too. Nice prize. Daughter backing the Jets. Could be the swinging vote.
The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 1
Brisbane champing for matches too, really good signs thus far. Hope you trucking along well mate.
The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 1
I actually think that could happen. Good contest in Adelaide at half-time. Mariners’ women looking for a win and up 1-0 at the break.

I think you might be right!
Record crowds, star players, entertaining games: A glimmer of hope for the 'basket case' that is Australian domestic football
Ah, see I coached in an exclusive private school. When a player made a mistake at training, they would laugh and say……..uuuuggghhh, A-League!!!!!!!!! Strangely, that cohort was also the one that produced a certain A-League goal-keeper about to get his first crack at the big time.
Record crowds, star players, entertaining games: A glimmer of hope for the 'basket case' that is Australian domestic football
Spot on. The NZ timeslot is key.

If the APL weren’t watching and learning from this they are seriously deluded.

Yep, Lockyer, Slater and Sterling top of the list for me. Smith is a no-brainer and should be given a descriptor of his own. Could we have an official rugby league GOAT?
