Nathaniel Atkinson is the first 😄

exactly the way i feel about it; now and then. sucks that we are in this position, i just hoe people now realise the value the FA (and by extension the Socceroos / Matildas) bring to the table. the early day success of the aleague was bankrolled by the fact the Socceroos were doing so well in getting to World Cups. the FA benefits from having a solid local league which enables a constant supply of players. to strip away that financial support for the aleague is bonkers. and yet people sulk about a salary cap and some bullshit need for local transfers. i dont see how changing either will help. taking away restrictions on spending will only encourage clubs to take gambles on things with no major predictable returns - particularly at a time when our clubs are strapped for cash. and dont get me wrong here either; there are times where you can take calculated gambles (thinking Del Piero or Cahill) that do bring eyeballs. that press coverage and community does bring revenue down the line. i just think you have to be careful to not throw good money away on something with unpredictable returns.

don't have to apologies jw, i appreciate all the work you do on the forums. oversights happen all the time

looking at the most recent list on this forum; has Jimmy Jeggo left the club - can't see him on the list?

my thoughts exactly. was sad to see him go. glad he got time at Perth. perfect time to bring him back into the fold.

Any news on Colakovski? i know the Perth Glory press release said he was looking overseas, just nothing has cropped up

i'm a auto renewal. had previously gone to a 3 game flexi this season (from active bay). in part to save some money (afterall i missed a bunch of games last season so that meant i was wasting money) and am rather indifferent given some of the performances last season but didnt want to break the consecutive season member element. with all the bullshit the last month or so i am so glad. i hate the idea of walking away all together, but i worry about the club in terms of non-rusted on members. how can they afford to keep doing all this bullshit???

before joining us he was a regular starter. as such my only thought is that our full backs in four of those five seasons were probably better - we did make four grand finals, first top 3 times (runner up in a fourth). after all we have had the likes of Jamo, Bos, Atkinson, Behich. last season more questionable but maybe he joined us at the wrong time.

what a farce. if true i just wonder why the club couldn't stand it's ground for once for fuck sake. the guy has sale value at the very least given the performances last season.

agreed. plenty was going on last season, not just with Vidmar. i'm still not convinced given the poor game management in the elimination against the tards. Vidmar now gets a full preseason, plus no 3 games in 7 days where he gets to implant his structures and expectations without interruptions. no excuses.

Set to coach A league all stars team

Fuck me how lucky are we with offside and VAR tonight?? Swear to God were gonna get fucked in the 90th the way this game is going

irrespective of the result, we always had a chance. personally, i would have rathered Sydney won since they have Perth at home next week while MacArthur travel to Wellington. In any case, a win now for us against Western United and a failure by Sydney to win against Perth means we go 5th

So we host Western United next Sunday while the Wanderers are away to victory. Might not even need to beat the nomads next week. Interestingly MacArthur play Sydney tonight and then Wellington away next week. Sydney host Perth next week. Both Sydney based teams are two points clear of us going into tonight. Doubt we'd jump both but crazily we could finish 5th

So we sub off someone subbed on previous?!?!?
