Where are all the usual suspects who ask me on a regular basis to write positive pieces? Conspicuous by their absence.

Maybe ‘manage’ was a better choice of word than ‘try’ there. I’d have loved to see a Phoenix side with Marco Rojas and Kosta Barbarouses back in it.

Try being told you don’t have “skin in the game” of a competition you’ve written 600,000+ words on for this website alone over a period of 11 years.

You know the one person we would have liked to have had on The Roar over the past few years? Greg O’Rourke.

Fair question.

Was VAR a blessing or a curse in the Mariners' win over Victory?

Trust me, Simon was EVERYWHERE towards the end of that match.

Right you all are, entirely my mistake. I was thinking about Simon’s contretemps with Adama Traore when I wrote that. My apologies for the confusion.

The issue isn’t that Victory fans are being asked to pay $35 for entry, it’s that until yesterday they were being charged $55.

I think it’s a great fit for both club and coach.

I was the one who advised S-Pulse to sign Australians (although that was admittedly many years ago now).
If Cklamovski plays attacking football, the fans will love him. They enjoy being entertained out at Nihondaira.

I think playing defensively is a legitimate tactic, Chopper, and Western United were clearly the better side on the night. But the question remains why they resorted to so much time-wasting? They didn’t need to.

Grow a backbone? I’m the guy who referenced Western United’s negative tactics in my first sentence. Which is why we have a place to talk about it.

Which obviously explains why the Socceroos lost to South Korea in the group stage.

Yeah, that Asian Cup he steered the Socceroos to against some bloke called Son Heung-Min’s South Korea was an absolute cakewalk.

Right you are, Lionheart. I hadn’t quite realised that – thanks for the heads up!

anon’s schtick is always to say something controversial in an attempt to belittle Oz football. Impossible to take them seriously.

Naoki Imaya played in the A-League. He’s been around the Australian football scene for years.

Waz is just annoyed I didn’t say Suncorp Stadium was the most famous in world football.

Nup. I write a twice-weekly opinion column on Mondays and Fridays around the weekend’s action, and I do so on a topical subject for the day. Works for me, works for The Roar and it works for the readers who keep coming back to read it.

That it may be, but I can’t see Kosta Barbarouses earning $750,000 per season beyond the current broadcast deal.

The Roar Supporters Federation should be applauded for actually getting stuck in and attempting to make things happen.
