    New Asian (incl. Australian) Football Blog

    I've just set up a new blog, with a particular focus on Asian (which includes Australian) Football. Just trying to get more of a focus on Asian Football, which is really the future of the sport for us in Australia. Be sure to check it out. http://asianfootballfeast.blogspot.com/ I've...

    FFA controls the Fed Govt and OUR MONEY

    I think we know the answer to that. Apparently it's OK to waste $45m of taxpayers money so long as it's for the AFL.

    Would this forum exist, if Football really is a "minnow" sport in Australia

    Your dodging of the ACTUAL question and issue speaks volumes. Your arguing about something with yourself, I've never argued against what you've said. But feel free to keep dodging the actual topic of debate here!!

    China to bid for 2026 World Cup - Australian 2022 Bid doomed

    The $26b is purely spent on stadiums, the report said it related to the "construction industry"...it's not just stadiums that will be constructed, it's new hotels (which benefit everyone), upgraded transport links (again benefit everyone), upgraded training infrastructure (benefits the massive...

    Would this forum exist, if Football really is a "minnow" sport in Australia

    Who mentioned anything about just Melbourne? What stadiums will the AFL use in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Gold Coast? As another poster pointed out, if you were asked in 1990 to predict what stadiums the AFL would be using in 2002 would you have said, "the MCG and Docklands"...

    Would this forum exist, if Football really is a "minnow" sport in Australia

    Why does the AFL need to know exact timeframes and numbers 12 years out from the event, did they demand that of the Commonwealth Games team in 1994? Conversely, before the FFA can really answer that question we need to know this from the AFL: - What grounds will they be using for AFL...

    FIFA investigation clears Australian World Cup bid

    Unfortunately you've got it in one! This will not stop The Age, they've quite clearly shown they have no issue in publishing lies and mistruths, so why stop now. Unfortunately for them, most people see straight their bullsh*t, except the hardcore anti-World Cup brigade like BSE and his...

    Time for Australia to get behind the 2022 world cup

    You've hit the nail on the head there..."publicly" they've supported the bid, but those in the know know full well where these anti-WC bid stories are eventuating. I'll let you figure that one out for yourself.

    FFA to take legal action against The Age

    You just can't admit you're wrong can you? The Govt aren't "turning a blind eye", they have CLEARED the FFA of the defamatory reports that they deliberately misled them and keep two sets of books. Just so you got it, the Govt CLEARED the FFA of any wrong doing. Therefore, for The Age to...

    FFA to take legal action against The Age

    LOL, you read too many tabloids if you think there is hooligan behaviour at A-League games. I've been to plenty of A-League games and more AFL games than I can remember going back to about 1990 and I've seen more violence at AFL games than I have at A-League games. Again, something from an...

    FFA to take legal action against The Age

    Can you read? The tweet came from FourFourTwo, not the FFA. The FFA issued the Press Release, and that is where FourFourTwo got their info from. Here is the proper link for you...

    Aussie World Cup bid bosses cleared of deception

    Or you're just looking for something that isn't there!

    Aussie World Cup bid bosses cleared of deception

    No, that has never been in dispute. The FFA also claimed that they would spend $11m on "consultants/agencies"...so again, what is the problem? They spent the money on exactly what they said they would and the Government agrees!

    Aussie World Cup bid bosses cleared of deception

    There has always been someone watching, yet that doesn't seem to have achieved anything. I hope if the FFA find they have any grounds for legal action that they take it and take a stand. Just shows how poor journalism really is in this country.

    Aussie World Cup bid bosses cleared of deception

    God how it must hurt BSE and his followers that the FFA have been cleared of any wrong doing. As many thought all along, this was nothing other than a defamotory, scandalous attempt to derail our World Cup bid. Well done FFA, continue running a fantastic bid!!

    $11.37 million of taxpayers money into dodgy pockets

    Don't bring actual facts into the argument, facts have no use to these morons (both on here and those writing the articles). It's quite clear their sole intention is to bring down the Bid and if that means blatantly lying and printing non-truths then so-be-it. So to those outraged, what do...

    $11.37 million of taxpayers money into dodgy pockets

    Footy Smart has summed it all up beautifully, unfortunately our "churnalists" are too stupid too actually look at something objectively and will just swallow it as fact, without actually looking at it in any detail. If they did, they'd realise there is absolutely nothing in it. With...

    $11.37 million of taxpayers money into dodgy pockets

    She has? She has already given an interview today? Where is this talk about Brumby backpeddling away from the FFA. F*ck there is some s**t being spoken, not quite as much as in the article though.

    $11.37 million of taxpayers money into dodgy pockets

    The gifts were given way back in May 2008 when the FIFA Congress was held in Sydney, months before we'd even announced we were going to bid for the World Cup. As has been said before, gfift giving is part and parcel of international visits. Will we kick up a stink when the Federal Govt give...

    $11.37 million of taxpayers money into dodgy pockets

    ****, what an absolute beat-up that article is. It's trying to claim the FFA are keeping two sets of books, Melbourne Storm style when that's clearly not the case. But just check out this scandal though, on the Government books we listed ''consultants/agencies'' were to be paid $11m...and...

    It seems along with producing facts to back up an argument, reading isn't a strong point either. Yes, you've made it up. Please provide me with evidence from the Chinese FA that categorically states they are bidding for 2026. Hell, provide me with anything from anywhere that says it is...

    Latest News

    No, this is not a fact. This is another one of those "facts" that you've created in your head to try and discredit our 2022 WC Bid. There is nothing anywhere in writing that claims China will bid for 2026, and in any case 2026 will most likely be going back to Europe, so it doesn't matter...

    Woeful TV Ratings for Socceroos

    Just accept the fact that you are wrong. There doesn't need to be any other screen shots, the one I've provided shows the moment the ball is flicked on Vela is standing in an offside position. No ifs, buts or maybes. Again, it was a wonderfully correct decision by the linesman.

    Woeful TV Ratings for Socceroos

    F*cking LOL, 5 or 6 per game. That just shows you've got no idea and are just exaggerating to make your point. The Victory have copped some bad offside calls, but never upwards of 10 in a game. That's just an out and out lie. I'd also be interested in knowing which calls you thought were...

    Woeful TV Ratings for Socceroos

    So a referee making one, sometimes two, wrong calls in a game makes it a farce? F*ck, I'd hate to see what you think of the AFL where the umpires make 2-3 wrong decisions each quarter. But of course, as leader of this anti-Football Cult and the man who knows everything of anything you are...

    The AFL is boring now

    Which ironically is what the AFL is here in Melbourne. I'm an AFL nut, well more a Geelong nut, but even I get sickened by the way people live for the AFL like a cult. It is scary.
