Cosmic Gate are in town tomorrow night.. 3 hour set expecting a good mix of old and new

Wow.. how have I not found this thread earlier.. Subculture will go off! and Godskitchen.. this picture speaks for itself..

Yessssss Thursday 10am Premier League Goalkeeper? or that guy playing in State league 5

Well actually they got rich by collecting, then selling a black liquid that pours out of the ground in their country. I think it's more "the managers" don't want to be seen as poor stewards of the company's money (like niko said). Truth is though they took a big gamble on Koren (an ageing English 2nd division player) and it failed miserably. Sometimes in life, when you stuff up, it's a lot easier to just admit it and move on, wiser, rather than making things worse trying to justify your mistake. Agree with everything you have said mate, I'm more commenting on the expectation many of us supporters have that CFG will 'quick fix' all our issues just by throwing money at it - because they have so much. I just can't see them operating that way. Not saying quick fix merely pointing out koren was/ is useless in every aspect for this squad. In this league you need to get the marquee right pretty evident by where the top teams finished this year. I'm not asking for the whole squad to be sacked and replaced just koren because he is taking up a vital spot on the roster. the cost to replace koren is a lot more than the 800k to pay him out with tho. Its 800k plus the salary of whoever you replace him with, which is likely at least 1mil per season on top. Probably more if you want a marquee that is a big name. I understand it may cost them a couple of million to exit koren and bring in a replacement marquee, but I just can't fathom how someone like koren who gets paid the highest in our squad can be given another year to float around the field and be nothing but a witch's hat week in week out. It is the position where they can buy out the contract without it counting to salary why not utilize it? Because it will cost them at least a couple million to do it. You're not a business man are you? You are forgetting opportunity cost of brand damage. If keeping Korne for another means that future incomes may be foregone or more difficult to obtain because the public knows that the team is crap. So by terminating Koren now and bringing a marquee that is successful on the pitch as well as better known could lift revenues through better branding. Aware of that, that's a decision for management to make tho. Im certainly not, and I don't think any of us here are in a position to make the call over whether that is affecting their brand by more than the contract expense. Doesnt matter. With 800k down the drain, how do you expect them to be able to rort the financial fair play system in UEFA.

We've signed the next Ronaldo

Massimo Murdocca ‏@Murdocca8 1m1 minute ago Happy to confirm I have joined @AvondaleHSC84 for a 10 game stint. Appreciate the warm welcome and can't wait to give my all.

David Vrankovic's Binh Duong loses 5-1 to Kashiwa Reysol in their ACL opening game. Vrankovic scores an own goal.

Won't be announced until after the Asian cup

Nope.. because Scott Munn is Ticker.

Need an experienced keeper. Get Brad Jones. The experienced keepers in the A-league have shown that they can win games by making save after save. Nathan Coe, Ante Covic and Galekovic.

This! He's meant to be the fittest player on our team. He used to be a striker (memories of that preseason when he scored when he wanted). Or chuck Ramsey there.

Really not the way we should be reacting to anyone showing up to our games who's willing to support us with the way we're going at the moment. Really don't see the problem? More fans the better IMO Thought they were supporting Manchester City, sorry didn't realise they were there to support us.. They certainly left early to go watch their match last night. The less plastics the better to be honest. Really don't understand the "cant afford to" part..

Manchester City fans can get the fuck out.

we're gonna win our first pre-season game against a-league opposition!

Have we beaten A-league opposition in pre-season before?

Imagine playing Sydney FC in the snow! That would be the koooooooootz

With not much soccer to watch at the moment, I was just watching some MLS and saw Fred make a run into the box and score for Philadelphia Union against Tim Cahill's NYRB.

Match report: http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/melbourneheart/news-display/Melbourne-City-FC-and-Bury-share-spoils/91194

From this morning's match report.... "David Williams then spurned a fine chance to regain the lead, rounding the goalkeeper before firing over."

Rumour has it that Chelsea are going to sign Higuain and Mifsud for 50million pounds each.

Is this a real cup tournament or is it just another excuse to bring soccer to the country towns? Will be bitterly disappointed if we don't have our home game at AAMI Park.

Hate it. What are home kits? The home kit is supposed to be synonymous with your club. People on the streets see the kit and instantly recognize who it belongs to, what it stands for, the history the club has made. What do I see when I see our kit? A Manchester City hand-me-down. Failed attempt to make us a mini man city. Nothing. Shit kit, wont ever buy. Might buy the away kit.

Skyblue can get the fuck out of our city
