Yeah, I’d be ropeable as Recky otherwise.

I think it's the only reason they agreed. After the no-Cumdog saga I wouldn't be too helpful for a while if it were me

Are you serious, Football Australia is struggling to fund itself and the National team let alone being a charity to Oceania. How many leagues in the world have a team(s) playing who are from a different conference???? It may have provided a solution in the past however for the future it's not viable. Tell the areas in Australia vying for a license to the A League we need to support Oceania instead of them. When a second division comes along the Nix look even more of an outcast, if we ever have promotion and relegation does that mean the Nix can never be relegated just like not involved in the ACL? Their inclusion no longer makes sense. The A league does not have a great reputation already let alone having a team that can win silverware and then not play in the ACL. The other week I read comments on social media with Nix fans laughing about the possibility of winning the FFA Cup and winning the ACL spot. Its a joke.

A 2nd NZ team in the comp would be better than what has transpired.

Wollongong can’t handle two Kiwi teams.

Love this response. It made my burst out laughing.

One of them can move South-East of Dubbo.

Perth Glory will be forced to take A-League games to Tasmania because of the WA Government’s triple-jab ruling for visiting teams.
The stranded Glory were hoping to return home after Sunday’s game against Central Coast Mariners in NSW. They are now planning to play three men’s games and a women’s match in Launceston after striking a deal with the Tasmanian government.
Glory are hoping for an exemption that will allow visiting teams not triple-jabbed to enter WA under strict isolation rules.

Poor bastards, you would want good money to have to live in Launceston for a few weeks (apologies TAS Mariner) Glad we are not playing them, terrible trip for travel from the coast.

Don't know if people have seen this:
26th Feb is our away game in Adelaide!

Great occasion for the club and I hope we lean into it hard.

 

[FFC Mariner]

I cant believe the AL has waited so long

We're very diverse, but a lot of culturally diverse communities are also somewhat socially conservative (see 2017 plebiscite results for reference). It's alright for middle class university educated lefties like me, but I get that not everyone is as enthusiastic.

Baby steps.

Why do we need someone's sexuality shoved down our throats (no pun intended). Who cares if he is Gay....if he is good enough he will make a decent living out of Football and if not he can join the Greens as a political activist.

Wombat - Are you channelling Rex Mossop?

I'm inclined to agree, it's irrelevant.

In the context of a football match I don't think it's fair to give one section of the players special treatment by having a round for their sexual preference, everyone should be treated the same. Ironically that's what they're fighting for.

Ah what the hell, who cares have the round, maybe it'll help someone come out.

It ought to be irrelevant, but the fact he got to 22 years old before he felt comfortable being open about his sexuality (which must have been tough for him) suggest that he didn't feel it was irrelevant. So if AU want to give support and encouragement to others in the same boat then no problem from me.

On a less contentious "special round" note, does anyone know how Kye's mum is doing (or when pink round is this year)?

I think that's a bit of a misnomer. Its really westies who are the socially conservatives. Young 1st gen and 2nd gen onwards that have anglicised a bit are as progressive as anyone else.
