No Roar game commentary tonight?
The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 23
Come on Brisvegas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 23
It requires a certain wiring of the brain. Good wiring at that 😊
If it wasn't for Irankunda, every A-League headline would be negative right now
Mike,
Maybe a slight departure from you article.
William Randolph Hearst coined the phrase “if it bleeds it leads.” I guess he knew better than most that what sells newspapers is crime and horror. It was the mighty Skyhooks who sang “horror movies, it’s the six thiry news”. Bad news sells. Australian football lacks “champions” in the media and so it’s often left to lazy journalists, with no background in football, who reach for the easy, horror headline.
Interestingly, I stumbled upon this article about Jazz in Australian, published in Nov 2008 with the tilte “HORROR MOVIE, IT’S THE 6.30 NEWS: WHY THE AUSTRALIAN MEDIA IGNORE JAZZ”
You can download it from here: https://eric-myers-2aka.squarespace.com/s/JordanPeterHorrorMovie.pdf
Maybe Australian football and Jazz have a lot in common 😂

Oh, hope the Easter bunny has left you some chocolate pellets 👍 👍
A-League avoids total embarrassment after broadcast partner goes belly up
OK, queue for autographs at AAMI last night would have been very thin. City’s inability to break down teams that defend for their lives is like a pimple of a bottom. Just constantly giving you grief. What a dire performance from the CFG owned outfit 😢 Well done Jets, I wish you had scored last night and taken all point 😂 😂

A-Leagues 'not in a position where we can underwrite clubs' as Jets, Canberra face uncertain future over ownership dramas
Meanwhile, Townsend was burning through money like there was no tomorrow – with the APL board, Townsend’s boss, sitting on its hands.
Does anything seem odd here 😱

Hahahaha, Costa now gives Nix 2:1 lead against Smurfs FC at 69min !!!
So much for all the high pressing from the Sydney mob 😂 😂 😂
The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 21
WUN are gone. No way can they make the 6 from their current position. They are 10 points from 6th and would need to win at least 4 in their last 6 games to overtake 6th and other teams to fall into an abyss or be taken by aliens. Not gonna happen for them.
'From the basement to the penthouse': Forget the wooden spoon, can Western United make the top six?
As much as we love what some players have contributed to the game in Oz, they are not guaranteed of transitioning to a successful coaching career. And so be it, that’s life. Otherwise JA comes across as a decent bloke. Punditry is probably his strength as well as looking dapper on the screen 😂

I think it’s time to start thumping the keyboard again 🤢
“Instead, the APL wasted a bucket of money on the appalling KeepUp website”
Townsend was wasting money while the APL board was watching this unfold in realtime. Just remember, APL board members include Scott Barlow, Chris Fong, Paul Lederer, Simon Pearce (CFG), Stephen Evans (Silver Lake). Most of these guys sat around the table while Townsend was on his folly. What does that tell you about these titans of industry?
According to Vince Rugari (The Age/Sydney Morning Herald sports reporter), Simon Pearce has not been out in the media conducting interviews. He plays his role behind the scenes. How is that helping fans? Not.
Now for the Fans Representative Group set up by the APL. Honestly just crickets. What are these guys doing and who get to be a member????
Like many titans of industry, they believe they are self made, they don’t need the little people offering advice. I cannot see the APL truly embracing fans and heading what we say. It’s not in the DNA of a manager.
A-League report card: Frustrated fans, crap scheduling, Socceroo mystery men and wasted money, but the brand is strong
No show! But Rudes usually has an awful lot to say. Cat got his tongue?
Seventh heaven for City as Rudan no-shows presser after horror defeat
“One of the most exciting players in world football scored a goal that should send shockwaves around the globe this weekend, but does anyone in Australia even care?”
When Harry was picked up by Leeds as a 15 year old, did anybody in Australia care? Apart from soccer officianados?
When any number of Golden Generation Socceroos went overseas to start their international careers, did anybody in Australia care? Apart from soccer officianados?
Maybe the answer to these questions is probably not. Until they became ‘famous’ because of their exploits and making it into the Socceroos team.
Nestory will remain a figure of fascination for mainly us Australian football followers and not break out into the public eye until he makes it ‘big’ playing in Euro.
Does the A-League do enough to nurture creative players?
Racial based chants come from a dark ignorant corner of the human condition. ‘They are not like me, they are inferior’. An attitude as old as Methuselah 😱
Victory bounce back in Original Rivalry, Mariners nab top spot, can Rudan turn it around?
30 sec has been my go to criteria. Enough to do a rewind a few times and if you’re struggling to get a good view of the incident or you’re hesitating as to whether it deserves a harsher penalty then play on.

Victory bounce back in Original Rivalry, Mariners nab top spot, can Rudan turn it around?
An almost season defining game this Tuesday at AAMI between between 7th place City and 6th WSW – separated by 2 only points.
WSW win and they put 5 points between themselves and City and things look pretty good for Rudes.
City win and they climb into 6th place and give Rudes more headaches.
Guess where I’ll be this Tuesday night 👍
