I know its cool to hate on Tim in here but bad move by the club.
He was better at scoring from open play than Fornaroli last season.
The fans love him especially the kids, every time he came on on or ran past the crowd while on the bench he got a massive cheer.
Keeps the club narrative going that Melbourne City cannot be trusted when it comes to big name signings, first Villa not hanging around now Tim. Will kill any chance of a membership boost in the future based on signing players.Agree with this. No big loss in a playing sense imo, but in terms of the off-field side of things it's massive. Very disappointing from our "club captain"

Would kill to see Tony Pulis strutting the sideline in Russia in his tracksuit and cap, helping us consistently avoid relegation from the world cup. What a man

Ange needs to find a midfield that works and stick to it if we're going to be competetive in Russia, personally think Jedinak - Mooy - Luongo - Irvine is our best bet with Irvine getting forward to support Juric/Cahill.
Only other position that isn't locked in is RCB, on current form I'd like to see Rhys Williams given a crack if he can stay injury free. Suits Anges style perfectly and is comfortable carrying the ball out of defence, which Bailey Wright isn't.
Williams is a bit prone to brain fades, gotta be Alex Wilkinson for me

happy to mix up the chants, it is a pity that we’re not louder on the telly, but not going to change chants because some w***ers sitting around us aren’t happy with it. There’s a few other seating options around the stadium for you...look out for the green seats.
It could have been the fuck off Sydney fc chant as well, or fuck’em all, or the classic what do we think of Sydney...
Did you really censor swear words in a post about how you refuse to censor swear words?

Was talking to a mate today about the game and the teacher goes she was there as well. I asked her why and she said her husband is good friends with Budzinski and sat in the corporate box with Budzinski's family tickets. I went off at her after she said he should have started and has been our best player. Got a detention for yelling in an uncontrolled manner towards a teacher.
EDIT: She also claimed that it was unfair that a player of his talent is only playing off the bench.

I wonder...with all this "citizenship by descent" stuff going on...what are the ramifications for children adopted or otherwise being brought up by couples where one or both its "parents" is/are not its biological parent(s)? Does an adopted child legally assume the nationality of one or other of its adoptive parents? With same-sex marriage likely in due course what are the ramifications there - for example, who is the "father" of a child being brought up by a female+female couple?
My mate is adopted, he is an Australian citizen and I believe he qualifies for a French passport as his adopted parents are French and a South Korean passport as that's where he was born.
Edit: I think so anyway I could be wrong.

Did you get it ? Does anyone know if there is a book of just the a league stuff ? Don't follow epl too closely so don't get a lot of those strips.
Nah not yet, and these aren't a collection of his EPL ones these are all new ones that he does for the book. The last book was all about the history of the game with strips about Pele and Marradona and stuff like that

Some sad news, Liam Miller has been diagnosed with cancer. Hopefully a speedy recovery for him.

1- La Rocca
2 - Bart
3 - Jamo
I think Bart being so good takes the shine off La Rocca a lot, but he was flawless tonight whereas Bart's pass to Malik was a poor decision and ultimately lead to us conceding so La Rocca just shades him for me.

Lit up the pitch when he came on. Needs to start next week.
Fully agree, if he'd been on for longer he'd have been my MOTM

Look at these MLS attendances. https://soccerstadiumdigest.com/2017-mls-attendance/
Atlanta United - average attendance 48,200 - and that's for a city of less than 500,000.
The city itself has a population of 500,000, but the surrounding metropolitan region is home to around 5 million and is the 9th largest metro region in the states.

Adelaide would probably be a good side if they actually had a half-decent striker
-

Happy with that performance to be honest. Would have loved an away goal and if Juric was less of a spud we would have had one or two. We looked great defensively, they only had one decent chance all game which Ryan covered pretty easily. Should hopefully be able to run them ragged in Sydney. It's all set up for a Tim Cahill winner at the death isn't it? Also Aziz Behich was great and I hope we never see Brad Smith near the national team again.

Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump are almost the same person. They are both unconventional and unpredictable in their approach to international politics (that is their power), use brinkmanship, put their country first and tell everyone else that their country is the greatest. They also both try to manipulate any media and dismiss dissenting views as 'fake' or in NK's case just kill the dissenters.
Trump is playing a high stakes game in East Asia. He has escalated where previous presidents tried to defuse. It might work. It may not. I'm still reserving judgement.
I'm no fan of Trump, but it's a real stretch to compare him to a mass-murdering totalitarian dictator

Tim Cahill
in Melbourne City
Posted · Edited by GreenSeater
FWIW I don't buy the "lack of playing time" argument for one moment tbh. I think there is more going on here.
Round 1 vs Brisbane. 0 minutes as he was away with the Roos.
Round 2 vs Victory. 10 or so minutes off the bench after playing 120 for the roos mid-week.
Round 3 vs Wellington. 8 or so minutes off the bench. Team won the week before, no need to shuffle things around too much.
Round 4 vs Adelaide. 20 minutss off the bench. Our starting striker scored two goals and he still got 20 minutes.
Round 5 vs Sydney. Started and got injured. Withdrawn after 25 minutes.
Round 6 vs Wanderers. 0 minutes as unavailable with the Socceroos.
Round 7 vs Brisbane. 0 minutes, club listed him as unavailable due to ongoing ankle injury from Sydney game.
Round 8 vs Perth. 25 minutes off the bench. Return from injury.
Round 9 vs Newcastle. 15 minutes off the bench.
This is a striker who has yet to score a goal for us this season. Our other striker is second in the league's golden boot standings. As you can see, he hasn't exactly been fully available, and when he has been he hasn't exactly been doing a lot for us on the park. He even mentioned in his statement yesterday that he is still carrying the ankle injury from the Sydney FC game. The worst part is that the last game he played before his game-time comments he actually started. The playing time argument he makes is bullshit imo and there are reasons behind the scenes that he's leaving.
According to his autobiography, Timmy sees himself as a real leader at every club he plays for, and likes to be heavily involved in helping the coaches make decisions. He speaks about how both he and Thierry Henry basically coached New York Red Bulls whilst their manager was just there for looks essentially. There was also a rumour coming out of the City camp last season that JVS had lost the squad and that Cahill was doing basically most of the coaching himself. Now I don't know about you, but Warren Joyce doesn't exactly strike me as the kind of bloke who would want to let a player do most of the decision making for him. He seems like the kind of bloke who would not want his authority questioned. If you ask me, Valkanis got the sack by Marwood and so did Timmy.
