No strong Football heritage my ass - Josip Simunic, Carl Valeri, etc etc Migrant Europeans are about are the strongest football demographic in Australia, and Canberra has plenty of them.

Fixed

FFS took suarez out of my fantasy team. Made up for by having Sahin, but still ffs

I wouldn't have thought Geelong would have the interest in soccer to make it sustainable, but who knows. Canberra > all other future a-league teams though.

"MVTID ! archie and diogo are fucking funny in this" "Man no wonder the Victory has the biggest supporter base. The advertising the guys behind the scenes do is amazing. Far better than my own club that's for sure. Something every single A-league club should learn from." Absolute flogs.

What the fuck do you have against MFootball?

Scott Munn tweets that he's going to sydney today. Ergo Ballack signing in the bag.

Warren Moon making a comeback?

Pretty surprising that we're in talks with him at all tbh.

Interesting statistics for everyone: Other than the WSW penaty shootout win Heart have never actually won a pre-season game against a HAL team. After our previous worst loss in the HAL, we then went undefeated for 6 games. Not at all defending whatever shit was running around on the field today which sounded extremely worrying from the multiple accounts, but the next two weeks are more important than today's result.

Jesus, wtf happened

Damn straight he did.

He sounds like a maddog, good job Heart.

Any particular reason why?

Got mine today as well, flag looks good and will hang well in my tiny Canberra cell.

Gerhardt a steal at 85,000, considering how often he should be playing.

What was wrong with last years third kit?

Completely disagree, this election is just about the most even of any US election in recent history. Absolutely nothing decided at this early stage. They haven't even had debates yet ffs.

Even if they have nothing to gain - that is not going to stop Israel from doing it. I'm pro either Iran having nuclear weapons and an expansion of the NPT - or a Nuclear free middle east. Has to be one or the other. It is simply not good enough for the international community to excercise double standards and frankly ignore Israel's weapon program yet actively pursue hawkish rhetoric against Iran for acquiring technology in order to defend themselves from the imminent israeli threat. Moreover, the idea of nuclear weapons working as a deterrant is an interesting argument for allowing Iran to acquire weapons and to allow both them and Israel to become nuclear-weapons states under the NPT (same with India and Pakistan). I generally don't agree with neo-realist philosophy but a very reasonable case can be made for states not attacking eachother if they both have nuclear weapons due to the idea of mutually assured destruction. Best option imo though is nuclear free middle east incl Israel. Predominantly this is because of the threat of many Arab-League states to withdraw completely from the NPT and develop nuclear weapons because of their insecurity with Israel developing nuclear weapons without and restraint from the rest of the world - therefore Egypt, Jordan etc aren't on level footing in terms of defense and have no way of protecting themselves against threat of nuclear attack. This also applies to Iran to a significant extent. As such either the nuclear free middle east talks and conventions which the US as been apprehensive about organizing need to happen, or we will have even more nuclear weapons in the volatile region - which despite all the arguments for detterence is unlikely to end well for anyone.

What the actual fuck was that. gtfo Osieck

I just desperately need a new lanyard / Foundation member badge.

Had an orienteering competition in that bundoora park with the roos once, running next to them scared the shit out of 14 year old me. And in all honesty, I would much prefer money that would potenitally go towards a marquee go to establishing a pernament and respectable Heart HQ - which is where I would hope most of the money is going. Better for the club / development etc etc young players etc.

iirc the Mariners have had a similar thing for quite some time.

The club doesn't have anything close to the money to offer something similar.
