I just cant do the A-League man, it's boring as batshit.

I once had your attitude then went to a few games. It's not too bad actually for what it is.

Obviously nowhere near EPL football but still very enjoyable to watch and a decent standard IMO.

 

[Cruyff14]

Decent is a stretch.

That is the problem. People seem to be expecting it to be of a high standard when that is not going to be the case for a long time yet. If you watch it for what it is, go to the games, and just get into it then it's great.

A League is a great watch, perfect time for me too. Gives me a good excuse to avoid starting work.

Decent game this, with a lot riding on it for 6/7 teams.

Jod should watch City. Pacy, hardworking, skilful URGay-un striker that knows where the net is. Would be like going back in time.

So much this. I don't get the euro snob attitude. If you love the game I can't see why you wouldn't watch A League football.

Surprisingly good coverage in the UK too. Was pleasantly surprised when I was over there at Christmas.

Jod don't listen to moomba about City they are shit

Very good. Other than cups, every game on live.

If I was to have a team, it would be the Glory obviously.

But I find football can be boring if not at the highest quality.

Watching a bunch of average players run about passing it backwards and sideways and hoofing it into the box is not my idea of a good time.

You've been beaten to the punch already

 

[moomba]

Ha ha. I saw that. I'm officially more subtle than Kizza.

 

[Magma]

i get what jod means though. there's no way im chucking on something like mariners vs anyone. i try and watch as many adelaide games as i can and the bigger ticket games like this one. it can be really difficult to adjust if your first exposure, like mine was, to the premier league.

 

[jod23]

Only at World Cups. I dont bother watching with the Asian Championships or whatever they call that or Friendlies. Unless the friendly is a big one like if we're playing England or Germany or something but that isnt all that often.

 

[SM]

Cant do it mate... the quality is too poor plus I dont care about any team or any players.

The A-League has been good quality for a few seasons now. Cracking game tonight.

I don't really to be honest, if it's a good game it doesn't matter what league it's in. I watch my mates in their Sunday league game if I'm injured and I still enjoy watching it. I can watch Championship games and enjoy them, and I can watch World Cup Finals and enjoy them. Conversely I can be bored shitless by World Cup finals and really enjoy 23rd v 24th in League 2. The individual player skills can be different but the overall game can still be enjoyable. Plenty of A-League games are thrilling, especially those involving Melb City. Agree with Moomba on that, they're definitely the team to watch if you want a way in. Them or maybe Brisbane.

 

[Latro]

You dont have to support team owned by Sage though.

 

[FAITH]

this seasons been great - championship quality teams are so even.
if you win the a league you know youve done it tough with salary cap and player restrictions

 

[DBAH0]

Woy is comparing Mark Noble to Grant Holt....

Payet played well for Les Bleus DBAH0 .

Really his last chance for the NT. Would love to see him as a squad player for Euro 2016. He definitely deserves a spot.
