[dorgie]

wow. Typical Robbie from his heyday.

 

For those Aussies out there....where do the club he plays for come in the scheme of things ? If you were to compare them to an English club, which would it be?

[Ramón Benítez Hernández]

They would be a new team in a circus of a league. The standard of football is really poor and it will take a long time for the standard to get as good as say Division 3 (or whatever it is called these days) is in england.

 

Most of our top players obviously get plucked by European teams.

 

The good players get snapped up by the Asian/Middle Eastern teams.

 

Our league get left with old farts, average players and foreigners who can't make the big time in their own country. We've had Brazillians over here worse than Lucas.

Reminiscent of the goal in the Brum League Cup Final.

 

Had to laugh the commentator descrivbing him as a penalty box poacher after that!

Carling Cup Final v Birmingham

[psl]

Yeah almost identical.

[Jarg Armani]

just like that worthington cup goal.

It's cos he can't track back any more

[mathewbet1]

Aye, that made me laugh.

[Mr. Biscan]

Was that a Liverpool fan that come on the pitch?!

[growler]

had to be, looked like one of us!

 

the game will take time to develop and I think getting the world cup in 2018 or 2022 will help accelerate it. I was a bit surprised that none of the PL teams have been here, with some much interest in the game, especially when coming to the far east anyway.

...when coming to the far east...

I love the mindset of the continuing Australian plantation.

Celtic, Fulham and Wolves came in July/August.

 

I was with Lloyd Owusu from Adelaide Utd yesterday, he played for Brighton last season, and says the A-League is same level as League 1. I thinks its worse, but you have to trust a player's view I guess.

[Maharajkumar of Vizianagram]

I've never seen a League 1 game but the idea that the A-League is of a similar standard to it seems to be a pretty widely circulated one.

 

I have to say though, I've seen a fair few Championship games and there's teams in that who'd win the A League without dropping a game.

Speak for yourself - I ain't that ugly.

A friend, Evertonian no less, said so himself regarding your second sentence.

I think the A-League is blue Square level, but the 'few' good players make it appear much better.

I thought that

With it being in Sydney i reckon a fair few scousers went

better than voronin

My daughter is reluctant to join an under 8 futsal team (indoor) as she's worried about being the only girl in the team.

 

I told her it's ok, even Liverpool have a girl playing for them. Voronin.

 

She starts next week.

I was at the game and there were more Scousers there than North Queensland fans. One of the problems with the A League is the country is so big, that there is hardly ever more than a handful of away support at the games.

 

They wanted to play YNWA before kick off but Sydney wouldn't allow it. They did have a Beatles tribute band playing outside though.

 

It was a crap game. Aloisi missed a pen in the first half and Robbie wasn't really in the game. It was a brilliant finish and probably should have had a second soon after.

 

All his goals are here Fowler - A league goals

[cymrococh]

They're debating now (literally now, on telly) whether Fowler is the best ever player in the A-League.

On Sunday Robbie Slater was saying how Fowler's the best player in the A-League since Dwight Yorke!

 

The A-League has only been in existence for a few years.

That second goal is vintage.
