Mr MO Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Surely Adelaide is rising as our biggest competition for top spots, such an anxious team for us to play against. Another this I’ve noticed, they keep signing players making their squad much stronger mid season - Goodwin and Juande come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping that they just cancel the finals this year. If Sydney FC isn’t not loosing any players than the finals are definitely going ahead. I like the idea of a normal home and away season of 22 games and have the finals early. Edited March 30, 2021 by Mr MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Don't know about others experience, but I've just booked for the derby, and been dumped in a random seat nowhere near my seat or my mates. Even worse than being allocated to a random row, I can now be given a seat, just not the seat that I have attached to my membership. Thinking I won't bother for the derby, stuff this.

He will take on the job of getting seats for you and your mates so that you're all together for all home matches going forward. Maybe too late for the Derby but for all those following.

Red or Dead Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I'll be in Wollongong for the Wellington match at WIN Stadium...looking to buy a ticket on Ticketmaster; is WC1 (the away bay) where most of our fans will be?

jw1739 Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 I'm hopeful that in the future APL will make better use of the Easter Weekend (assuming the season encompasses it). IMO it would be a good period in which to hold home and away derbies - in our case we could play WU on the Friday and have the return derby on the Monday. I feel that this is the way to build tradition and significance into the league and help get people into the habit of going to the football.

I think you are close to the mark with this comment. My understanding is that new pathogens are not recognised as such immediately they occur unless they are mass killers right from the start. They generally start as presenting as unusual sickness or deaths that cannot be classified because no-one has seen them before, and only when the experts start to put two and two together do they realise that there's a previously unknown thread linking them all. It's probable that this pathogen arose some while before a subsequent more deadly mutation emerged in Wuhan and it's gone on from there, mutating quite quickly and, relatively unusually, some of the mutations are proving more deadly than the one first recognised. But IMO it doesn't really matter where it all came from now. International and internal political arguing over that is not helping anyone overcome what the world is facing now. It's the blame game and the failure to act in a unified way - both evidenced here at home - that pisses me off more than what we're going through just at this moment. People need confidence in their leadership, and hope for the future. I don't have either at the present time. And I know that many people are suffering far more than we are in Australia, and that many in Australia are suffering far more than I am.

Shahanga Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Well it might matter where it came from. Will the lab it probably emerged from be managed better in the future?
