Ridiculous to see footage of cops in full riot uniform performing the arrest. He's a footballer who has allegedly been part of a betting scandal not a fecking tooled up nut job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am sure there was a story yesterday about rape allegations and NRL players. Weird how that gets shoved out the headlines for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like things have gone quiet about AFL players being “rested” or “injured” midweek meaning they failed drug tests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental decison to award it and a decent save to see justice done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 Central Coast Mariners are A-League Champions after defeating Melbourne Victory 3-1 aet. Victory went ahead after 50 mins but Ryan Edmondson equalised in the 91st minute to take it to extra time. He score his second and Mariners third at 121 mins with Miguel Di Pizio making it 2-1 at 97 mins. That’s the treble of A-League Champions, A-League Premiers and AFC Cup for the Mariners. It was also back to back Champions Final wins, their third overall and they were Premiers for the third time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helluva win considering they dominated for the entire match but their 1st shot on target was the equaliser in the 91st minute! And their match winner a lad who couldn't score goals for Carlisle! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 (edited) Australia Cup Round of 32 draw was made earlier tonight. All the non A-League side are tier 2 except for the lowest ranked club, Melbourne Srbja (4) drawn at home to Modbury Jets from Adelaide. Games to be played between 30 July - 11 August. The A-League play-offs are being held in Darwin on 23 July Brisbane Roar v Perth Glory and 24 July Newcastle Jets v Western United. Disappointed the Adelaide NPL sides both away. Hoping Campbelltown City and Modbury Jets both win and at least one of them is drawn at home in the next round. If they win the only way Adelaide United will be at home is if they’re drawn against another A-League side.

Eednud Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Copied from elsewhere. The Central Coast Mariners will receive a base fee of A$1.2million for being in the group stage of the 2024/25 ACL Elite. Additional monies are available based on their eventual placings, with the champions to receive at least A$18million. Read more: www.the-afc.com Sydney FC will receive a base fee of A$450,000 for qualifying to the group stage of the 2024/25 ACL Two. Additional monies are available based on their eventual placings, with the champions to receive just under A$5million. Read more: www.the-afc.com Looking forward to the revamped ACLE and ACL2 comps this coming season. That's a lot of cash for the winners! (Should note that ACL2 includes much tougher competition than the previous AFC Cup did for the Mariners). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 A-Leagues clubs want bigger role for Football Australia By George Clarke 20 June 2024 Football Australia has been sounded out to take on a greater role in the running of the A-Leagues, as clubs grow increasingly frustrated with the Australian Professional Leagues. Less than four years after the clubs 'unbundled' from FA there is an increased desire for the national governing body to take a more hands-on approach. Multiple sources have told AAP clubs are concerned with the direction of the competitions under the APL, who took control of the A-League Men and A-League Women in late 2020. There is unlikely to be an appetite to hand total control back to FA, but a cohort of clubs believe a more collaborative approach with the governing body can help shore up the A-Leagues' future. Clubs remain unclear on the distribution of revenue for the next league campaign, with many due to begin pre-season training over the next month. Board meetings to discuss next season’s distributions have been pushed back twice over the last month. Clubs were promised a brighter future after splitting with FA in 2020 but have instead seen the competitions take several wrong turns. Since the parting of ways, the APL’s decision to sign a broadcast deal with Network Ten and its pay-per-view platform Paramount has reduced the competition’s visibility among casual fans. Global Advance, a start-up broadcast production company which won the first contract to produce games for Network Ten, went into administration late last season. The APL has also been criticised for spending big on start-up digital platform Keepup, and breaking with tradition to sell off grand-final hosting rights to tourism body Destination NSW. As AAP reported in January, plans to expand the men's competition to 16 teams by the start of the 2025-26 season have been shelved, despite the APL's initial hopes of garnering $25 million in expansion fees per new club. Only a side in Auckland, who will enter the ALM next year, has so far been given the green light, with plans for a men's team in Canberra put on hold for 12 months. There have been bright spots enjoyed by clubs since they gained independence from FA, including a boom in popularity in the women’s game and an increase in transfer revenues. But clubs are eager to piggyback off the momentum of unprecedented success on the global stage for national sides the Socceroos and Matildas. FA last week received $15 million in government funding ahead of the 2026 Women's Asian Cup. (from AAP) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
