How, when you are being outstripped in all categories?

You make out like sokka is a new sport out here, well I'm here to tell the liars and fraudsters that sokka was indeed played in competition in Australia long before Rugby League even existed let alone had it's own comp in Australia.

Tell me fraudster, who or what sport in Australia had the first national competition? (make that football codes as I don't want you cheating and lying by mentioning basketball when it is clear we are arguing over the footy codes)

Ha.

And every decade or so, this old sport rears it's ugly head with its ugly violent lying supporters raving and rambling about how they are going to take over blah blah blah only for it all to fall apart. And then all the excuses start, blaming everyone from other sports to blaming thier own supporters because they can't get along because of the colour of their skin or the language they speak, yep, pass the buck, that's always been one of humanities greatest gifts and this sokka lot in Australia certainly have that down pat.

You people really like to ignore the NSL, or the fact that Association football in this country predates the sport of Rugby League (although not by much at all). Its like the sport sprang out of nowhere when the Aleague started and we should just pretend that soccer hadnt existed beforehand. Its dishonest at best, and bullshit at worst.

How about the fact that Soccer was the first sport in this country to try to go national (in 1977, 4 years before the VFL sent the Swans to Sydney, and 5 years before the NSWRL admitted the Raiders) and somehow blew it?

semi pro competition =/= professional competition

soccer = soccer.

You had the lead in national competition when everyone else had the same circumstances - no one was full pro in 77 - still blew it, and have spent your time since either ignoring the history of your game in Australia when it suits the argument or making excuses for it. Its all bullshit.

"you"

football might of got a head-start on the other codes as far as setting up a amateur national competition goes - but we were 10 yrs behind rugby union and even basketball when it came to going fully professional and multiple decades behind AR and RL

you can change the standards on here all you want but these are the parameters im using considering bar a few, virtually none of the clubs involved in the nsl are even involved in the a-league. you can't use super league war excuses either as the split between the SL and ARL was a fistfight between 2 full professional competitions where as the amateur comp of the nsl dissolved and the a-league was introduced a full 18months after it's demise

I don't know about you but apart from the fact that the a-league plays the same sport as the nsl did, there are virtually no similarities whatsoever. multi-ethnic vs broadbased, amateur vs professional etc, i could go on forever. the fact that in 2003 if i was a so-so player in the nsl i would of been earning about $100 a game as a part timer. Enter the a-league 18 months later and the minimum wage at the time was 7 times that amount, would of made me a full time professional, proper facilities bla bla bla...you know where i'm going with this

[sydneyfc]

Thats no excuse for carrying on like soccer for all intents and purposes is handicapped because its friggin 7 years old in this country just because you put a siny new wrapper on it.

10 years as a professional competition* - and sure we can!

pretty sure every football fan on here will acknowledge that apart from grass roots, we were nothing more than a niche sport for 100 yrs, constantly shot ourselves in the foot and went nowhere for a long time

but you don't see me throwing rocks at poor old clubs like glebe and newtown, blaming the nrl for their demise when it happened years before the nrl even existed - only 3 clubs in the a-league existed before the a-league, with only 1 of them predating the year 2000. whatever happened in 1970, i find, completely irrelevant to the point at hand

Ahhhh
News flash
When u cant beat womens cricket....

U still are a niche sport u dopey wanker :_<>

[sydneyfc]

Remind me when Glebe and newtown were part of a National Competition again?

Newtown was a proffessional club though was it not?

some serious double standards then if the demise of the northern spirit - a semi pro club in a semi pro, nation wide comp gets stoned by the nuffies but a professional club like newtown get off free because they "only" played in the nswlrfl despite it still being recognized as the best league in the world at the time, well, in australia anyway

[Raiderdave]

Newtown was a proffessional club though ?k

No
It wasnt you cockhead
In 1983 they were semi professional just like those NSL joke clubs

Anything else we can correct you on u utter moron
Fuckin ell
Wot a wanker

[sydneyfc]

No Ill give you Glebe and Newton, but then you have to give me every club that was dumped from the NSL - of which several clubs still play in the Aleague so theres a tangible link.

all of which are broadbased clubs with no ethnic ties whatsoever - the basic fundamental platform for any a-league side

there are 3 present clubs who will struggle to see another 2 years out ... joining 3 others who all went within the first 6 years
2 didnt last 2 years &
All of them.... the lot... consistently lose money off near non exsitent revenue

All of this occuring in the new shiny professional suggah era

Give yr dick a rest you wanker
Any more pulling & you'll pull it right off :_<>

You are a wanker

[ParraEelsNRL]

But but but.

Yeah, Rugby League and Australian Rules right up till the 90's had garbos, doctors, cops, teachers, barmen and whatever other form of work you can think of playing for these teams to offset what they earned per win or loss each game. Only a few people in either code would have been making any decent money at all. So I have no idea why you would be saying these codes were fully pro decades and decades before the A League when they simply were not, sounds to me like these guys are changing the rules or tact again and buck passing as usual.

Btw, Glebe haven't been seen in a RL comp for near 100 years.

[Raiderdave]
