How didn't Sarpreet Singh get a mention in all of this. Bozza is wondering

Wouldn't say he's 'the best' but probably one of, if not the most exciting young prospects at the moment.

What is the split usually at melbourne derbies?
Like there was 24,000 on the weekend and it was a City home game, but how many roughly were City fans and how many victory fans?
Ive always guess itd be like city 40-60 victory at city home games and victory 80-20 city at victory home games.
Am I close? or way off the mark?

IMO that's pretty spot on generally.

Good to see the Reds taking quick action in finding out who said what. Hopefully life bands are in order, this s**t shouldn’t be tolerated!

John Aloisi resigned.

No surprise, he was a dead man walking.

John Aloisi resigned.

Resigned after the same exact fixture as well when he was with the Heart.

Also, do we just adopt this as the match thread for the coming weeks? The weeks are all over the place.

Can't say I know much about him.

The Wellington Phoenix have signed former Irish International Cillian Sheridan.

The 29-year-old striker completed his medical earlier on Thursday and will play for the remainder of the A-League season after leaving Polish side Jagiellonia Bialystok.

The 1.95m Sheridan has scored 98 career goals and Phoenix coach Mark Rudan believes his goal-scoring abilities are the perfect fit.

Sounds like an absolute character judging from his Instagram. We now have our own Peter Crouch, or Stein Huysegems mk II hahaha

When he took the Asian Championships by storm in the under 20s I thought this guy could be anything, he was that prolific.
Looks like he’s attitude has meant he’s pissed it all up against the wall.

At its best I'd say League 1, but its very worst is definitely League 2 relegation battle stuff.

Thanks guys ( Gee id didn't know its that far behind the rest of the leagues )

It's not really that far behind many other leagues in the world. Take out the 'big 5' leagues in Europe (Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1) and there isn't really a helluva lot of difference in quality between the A-League and the rest.

 

[Andonis1997]

Considering England is a nation that have kids living and breathing the sport, there's so much more competition for professional spots in teams so the bar gets raised all the time. Taking that into consideration for Australia, there's less of a talent pool to dive into. But it's definitely an entertaining, unique league!

The longer it continues, the better it'll get no doubt.
