Beat the cows and we can be as high as 3rd.

Do love how dumb the A League is to not have a game in Perth on a long weekend when we have no sport on.

City gets the points 1-0 and have pretty much confirmed the Phoenix will miss the finals. 8 games to go and they'd need to win almost all of them to close the gap.

WU knock over CCM 3-1. Similar situation for the Mariners, several wins needed for any chance for finals.

Things are tight 2-8 any dropped points and you're going to plummet down the ladder.

Macarthur are the "Bulls". The bells are actually quieter tonight!

I like it as a niche identity thing, but it's also annoying

Always happens for Bulls home games. Best to watch it on mute.

Showing my age a bit here, but the first ever web forum I ever joined with the old SBS The World Game forum. For a site that carried the name of a public broadcaster, it was absolute racist, unmoderated filth.

Yet it wasn't the racism that killed it, it was this stupid meme. It came to infest every thread to the point that any time someone said something you'd disagree with, you'd sarcastically reply "it sounds like YOU GOT A FEVER", some other flog would post "THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION" followed by this second gif, and that was it. I often felt that gifs should've ended then and there.

Anyway, play ye olde time music for nobby's history of Australian football, of which TWG forum is a dark, albeit tiny part.

It sounds like YOU GOT A FEVER....

That's an amazing story nobbyiscool

Can't believe that this was an actual thing.

ya bastard, I laughed so hard I hurt my back

This playing out the back rubbish in this league needs to stop might work in the EPL and most European leagues where the pace is faster but here its just junk coaches wanting to be tactical for the sake of it.

It ain't working that's for sure.

Auckland averaging 18k this season.

Who saw that coming after the shitshow that NZ Knights were in Auckland at the start of the A League era. Think they overtook NZ Knights cumulative crowds over its entire sorry existence within the first 3 home games lol
