Good to see a soccer fan on the forum.
Hopefully you can lift the tone a bit.

cheers mate ill do my best

soccer is every one's favorite sport when Australia are playing, but the A league not so much
now so with the world cup on it is.

perhaps you sydneyfc can inform the bumsniffers what a proper world cup actually is?

for the last world cup over half of the players playing in it where based in Australia not including the ones based in the Australian camp
the rules for a player to play in a represtitive country, a player could set up a postal box or go on a holiday there, then qualifies to play for that country
out of the last 11 world cups Australia has won the last 10 of them with New zealand winning the other one, Australia won the last one & still with over half of the players in the world cup being Australlian
go the world game of league

couldn't agree more, i made a post about it on another forum subsection on here. i find it utterly cringeworthy that they actually think they're world champions of a sport that is only played on the eastern coast of Australia, tiny parts of NZ, some islands in the pacific with populations varying from 20,000-100,000, 1 city in france and in backwater northern cities in the UK.

But whatever floats their boat i guess

I dont like AFL - ive tried to watch games in the past and it just isn't my thing, but i can respect what it stands for and rather than embrace a national sport like AFL that is genuinely australian and something we can all be proud of in terms of the way it leads the sporting landscape here from revenue, interest and attendances, they try to counter it by saying that they play some sort of awesome world renowned sport played all over the world.

I went to school with some of the players that played for Tonga and Samoa...says it all really, i mean its cool that they want to represent their country of their origin and all, but they were all born in australia and have some of the strongest australian accents going - good guys too, but it's funny if they restricted players to playing for their country of birth you'd have a rugby league world cup with about 3 teams

For those uninitiated SFC - RL has some really loose qualification rules
To be eligible to represent a country is as follows:-
*Born in country
*have one or more parent or grand parents born in a country
*live in country for at least 3 months
*have lived in country within the last 12 months for at least 6mths

As you can see these rules are so wide that a having a holiday in a country will qualify you to represent a country - but even funnier you are not restricted in how many countries you represent - very often a player will play for Australia in their prime then play for another country in their twilight years - it's laughable. But wait there's more!

SOO is built up as state against state representative competition - however you don't have to be born here to be picked (obviously there's no where else that plays it the level of Australia so they don't necessarily have to look for players from outside Australia - yet it is a fact you can be born overseas and be a junior OS and still be selected! Furthermore you can be born in one state yet still have the option of choosing the state you want to play for! Greg Inglis, Israel Folau are just two such examples - but say your not born in either NSW or QLD - don't despair you can still play for NSW or QLD they only have two states so it's clearly not State of Origin - just another Tina Turnner gimmick!

So as you can see SFC - RL is very much a game of half truths - we're National yet we only have 1 team in Australia outside NSW and QLD (The Queanbeyan Snot Greens are in NSW! - there is ONLY 1 player in the whole NRL from Australia outside NSW/QLD) Their SOO series is NOTHING but a gimmick, their international competition is nothing but an un-mitigating farce! THEN there's touch RL - they claim 500,000 participants nationally yet in reality is lucky to be 125.000 - you see there is so much double counting that is hard to clearly work it out - they count e-mails (whether there active or not) junior and senior players, representative players(presumable the same junior and senior players) event organisers, school programs, School comp participants, accreditation course participants and lastly event participants. It's is another lie - so as you can see SFC AFL and Soccer have nothing to fear from RL even if they say we do.

By the way I feel the same about soccer as you feel about AF - I just find it too boring but hey that's personal taste - my son however loves it and plays indoor every week - I don't hate RL as a sport have even played it - but I have no time for its fans - they are a pack of arrogant paranoid hypocrites - they full of spite and jealousy!

Welcome aboard!

Same shit, same posters, different usernames.

cheers mate, honestly i find a lot of your posts refreshing and on point unlike some other people who make up things on the spot

i went to a sports high school in sydney(for soccer obviously) and i played some AFL in high school when our high school team needed some players to help in training and have to admit it was pretty damn fun! a lot of sports are like that, really fun to play but not my taste when it comes to spectating. cricket falls into that category as well

i played rugby league for a few years when i was younger, the comps run alongside the soccer comps here so i'd go to league training on tuesday, soccer on wednesday, league on thursday and then soccer again on friday. it was fun for a while and league is still fun to play here and there, but as a spectator sport for me it's simply an abomination, it made me realize how little skill is involved in the game even at the top level

ive been to a-league, AFL and nrl games, obviously the a-league is always going to be my #1 choice, but ive enjoyed swans games whenever ive gone even though it isn't that often, rugby league games are so-so more often then not you're sitting on some muddy hill next to some yobbo on the dole thats spilling bear on you everytime the referee blows his whistle

dont want to ramble on but yeah

Same here went to Melb Victory's GF win against Adelaide - was a great game I think 4-1 very entertaining and admit to soft spot for Victory ever since - but regardless don't take anything that RD and KE says to heart - they are trolls - Parra appears to be pretty decent if not too one eyed (we can all be like that) and AFLCRAPPER is an escaped mental patient who has some deep seated issues to sort thru! But like I said welcome aboard and as I say it doesn't matter what other people think of your sport as long as you enjoy it!

Canberra has had soccer before and it died, why would this time be any different?

like the NRL clubs
should have died years ago, but they didn't thanks to POKES
dont worry about growing the game! just grow the number of pokes you own
NRL style

AFL clubs have ignored an offer to help them get out of poker machines.

Victorian clubs instead are increasing their reliance on pokies cash.

It is now 19 months since AFL boss Andrew Demetriou said clubs had shown an interest in selling machines.

The league was "prepared to open the batting on being the intermediary for them", Demetriou said.

But the Western Bulldogs are seeking to add 18 machines at their Dromana venue - almost double the current number.

Carlton, Collingwood and Richmond have added more machines to clubs in Bulleen, Ringwood, Caroline Springs and Wantirna since Demetriou's statement.

Gambling-related revenue from the Victorian AFL clubs' 1466 machines tops $100 million a year.

Hey Soccer boy did you know that Swines is an army deserter.
Yep he is a coward who ran away.
Talks tough but runs when the shit hits the fan.

Sorry SFC but you will have to get used to this - he has some pretty strange ideas and delusions - I think he's mostly harmless I'd imagine he spends most of his time sitting in a corner somewhere eating his own feces and crying - they let him use the computer once a day and this is what you get! Hahaha he is very funny (although I don't usually laugh at those with mental health problems!)

Settle down swines ...No one buys your RAMBO tough guy image.

But I guess if you think you can impress a new poster go for it.

so essentially some parts of this forum is cancer

so much for me to learn about this place lol

Yep you'll find intelligent debate doesn't really take place as soon as you express an opinion - or post fact you will be personally attacked - although I don't like it it becomes necessary - AFLCRAPPER is a fairly insular personality with significant paranoid and narcissistic personality issues - in other words anything you say that doesn't accord with his opinion will be wrong and you will be a liar (sure you want to stay?). But there are some who do want debate - Phelpsy for one you'll work it out - KE can be very engaging and I must admit does make me laugh!

Jab that voodoo doll .
You'll feel better.

& as for the bolded .I should direct newcomers to the RD username thread,
Now that is an eye opener to the world of delusional obsessed derpers on here.
& you were one of them .

& as for lying..i like to point out when the derpers outright lie .
You mob don't like it but if you didn't lie then I wouldn't have to spend so much time pointing it out.
