Sydney FC - The Face of 'Corporate Stability'

[marinersman]

Not everything and everyone from the NSL was bad and/or a joke.

I'll probably be shouted out of town, but I reckon the standard of the NSL from around mid 80's to 97-98 was better than the HAL now.

We all know there were no crowds, no media, limited tv coverage, badly overblown and media exagerated crowd incidents etc I'm not for a minute pretending that all was good because it was overall a failure and had to be scrapped.

We know there are ten million reasons for the failure of the NSL and they are very well documented, but I for one won't be ashamed of following the NSL and nobody should dismiss it completely as a joke, because it wasn't.

The FFA are trying to honour our Footballing history and the NSL is part of this. Most of our current Socceroos were products of these clubs and the clubs are responsible and should be proud to have played a significant part of their development.

Of course it's a million times better now and there are times I have to pinch myself and can't believe the progress we've made. The NSL had to go and I'm glad it did. But there were good things about it amongst all the bad.

what's an NSL?

Sokkah for Greeks, Italians, Turks, Jews, Dutchies........ anyone who isn't Anglo.

Damn ethnic wogball.

(before anyone cracks the shits, I'm joking)

This man speaks to truth.

All the reshuffles at SFC does make it look a little like Sydney City Mk.2, but it's not like Tony Labozetta running the show or anything.

Was Kamasz one of the members of the Rump Board?

 

[marinersman]

No the rump board was Dominic Galati, Paul Afkos and Les Avory. They were the ones who refused to resign after Remo had already left as Chairman. If my memory serves me correctly.
