A-League A-League Men Round 1 - Now With Pause and Rewind!

[Colonial]

From my contacts at MVFC at the time the gist I got was that it was put to the clubs take it or the future of the A League may be jeopardised. Even then many backed out of supporting it. Including ADP at the time.

It was an APL idea driven by him all along to claw back money from covid losses.

It’s rubbish and a way to get people on side when they realised the shitstorm that was incoming.
The clubs made the choice and then ran for cover.
Most backed out, they just didn’t do it the right way professionally, instead using social media.
Danny isn’t a saint in all this, in no way shape or form, but he isn’t the instigator.

Really?

Lost Goodwin, Kitto somehow captain, doesn't look like much in midfield or CB?

We'll get a good preview tonight to see how CCM and AU look after their off season changes.

One reason I think Adelaide will still be there or there abouts is another season of Irankunda. If he's able to play full games this year, look out ...

I'm not expecting us to improve. Losing Goodwin, two of our 3 main defensive midfielders and the other (Isaias) on the decline each year. To achieve the same (Top 4) finishes as recent seasons, we probably need all of the following:

• Ibusuki, Popovic, Halloran to return to best form
• improvement from Irankunda (especially stamina), Bernardo (after injury, he was great when he came into the team initially)
• Javi and Kitto can't get injured
• Tunnicliffe turns out to be a gem
• Clough stays fit and realises his potential

Maybe Madanha, Yull or Musa Toure breakout, we'll see.

Yeah I hope he goes to another level. Serious potential

Was Irankunda in a moon boot a few weeks ago?

There was a rumour. As far as I'm aware there's no concerns about him at all. He's in the squad for tonight, club has said he's had a great off season and in the conversation to start more games.

I thought it was more to do with the poor TV deal. Which bonuses weren’t paid out by paramount and channel 10 due to the poor ratings in the first season of the deal.

How good is it A-League is back!

Pretty pumped after all the good news this week.

Wish we hung on to Will Wilson. Cracking talent.

So.... Does live pause or rewind work for anyone? Just joined 15 mins late but can't seem to work it out

 

[Munga]

Kaltak gone already. Reds a better chance to snag goals tonight

 

[Zidane98]

* Irankunda is quick

I'm using the Foxtel paramount app and can't pause or rewind. Might try Google app 2nd half.

Works from my PC

 

[Zidane98]

What a finish

 

[Munga]

Irankunda looks like he wants to take on every opponent... successfully so far!

 

[giggler99]

I missed the goal was watching the cricket thanks to rewind didn't get to miss out what a technological marvel.

I've missed the goal, but have been watching the 6-fest so still winning

 

[AJ_2000]

Oh it works on my phone app. Can rewind etc

Reds 3-0!! Any doubts that Adelaide ain't gonna be any good this season put to bed I guess

Told yas!

Well this was unexpected.

 

[Pacman82]

I had them 2 nil, lucky for CC it wasn't 4.

 

[SM]

United were all over them, great first game back.

They must hang on to Irankunda this season. The amount of clubs trying to buy him will be endless but it is best for him to ace being a starter in the A League first IMO before going to Europe.
