Wsw numbers have declined since the wander years of Popovic. Playing in an empty stadium when the attendances were still goin up was a lost cause and spanish and german coaches have not met with the faithfull’s pleasure.
I am not a fan of wsw ……. but I am looking forward to their new stadium and hopefully a new “ic” coach to go with it.
No problem for me if the new ffa board bring back the ethnic flavour to the teams, to my mind it is all soccer.

A million fans, stacks of stats and the embarrassing Mariners

Homeless???.
I thought it might be a good time to put in a word, from one of the fans that have dropped off football.
The thing that always stuck in my groin was the empty stadiums. I watched the last sfc game at kogarah and enjoyed how the closeness and compact crowd actually added to the games enjoyment for me.
Until last weekend I had watched everygame live on fox ……. that’s every game ……. until last weekend when I am guilty of recording the games and will replay any games that have sufficient “talking points” that simon hill points out. I think the bbl oversaturated the market for cricket and ffa have overdone the derby attraction to the point that everygame is a derby.
I should add that my home team WAS the mariners.
I think like all people that understand the complexities of football you never really get it out of your system and although the attendance figures for the ffa run “bore-a-thon” may have declined I am sure that everybody still has an interest in results and players progression, the socceroos and Matildas in particular.

In my day …….. if a coach presented as an unshaven homeless man his comments would probably not get air time. His image and whinging reflects the teams position on the ladder.

Suspend VAR immediately: Mariners coach

The var has been the ruination of the aleague with it’s use farcical. There is now a new dimension in ffa’s control of results. The six is settled already and can’t wait for the addition of another “derby” team……… interesting for melbourne maybe but I don’t think the rest of australia is excited. Next years playoff six will be all derby games. I’m bored already.

Did the VAR rob the Mariners of a penalty?

Actually it did. Many of the squad were recruited despite injuries carrying over. The fitness coach left over a dispute which involved him working with bolt and there was a couple of months with no specialist guy knowing how to rehab. Gamiero was apparently mismanaged and has now a calf injury, aspro took months longer and golec is nowhere to be seen since reinjury.
A right royal stuff up.

What in the world happened to the Wanderers, Roar and Mariners?

With three incoming squad players that are midfield and two defenders ???. I don’t see how that will address the problem of scoring goals other than reducing the need to score as many to win.
Simon ….. for all his huff an’ puff wastes more opportunities than the rest of the forwards put together.

Mariners set to boost struggling squad with triple transfer
