Ever Wondered Why So Many Australian Footballers
Play Overseas?
And the media blackout continues but this tournament will
be shown free-to-air.
The Socceroo squad for Dubai is:
AUSTRALIA: Z Kalac
(cpt), S Colosimo, H Foxe, S Laybutt, T Vidmar, B Emerton, K Wehrman (S Lovell
72), J Skoko, D Tiatto, J Aloisi (M Curcija 60), P Agostino (S Chipperfield 66)
KUWAIT: O Husain, J Mubarak, N Alshammaty, H Al Khudary, B Alhalabeej, S
Alazmi, A Almutairi, B Abdulla (A Marza 69), J Al Wahoudi (E Saed 74), F
Almajdi, N Alothman (N Asel 64)
Australia win 1-0 against Kuwait, with an Aloisi goal in
the second half.
Australia lose 4-2 against South Korea with Agostino
netting two to set up what should have been an easy win.
The
opening of the football season and the media blackout continues.
The ‘Australian’ a mudoch/tiddleywimp paper had an
article about the insipid Olyroos in their performances against Italy and
Nigeria to discuss the opening of the football season. No mention that the Italians were the core
of AC Milan and Italy delayed Series A kick-off to allow the team maximum
possible preparation.
The Olyroos in fact played very well and were unlucky not
to win on the horrendous surface. Great
goalkeeping saved the day for the Italians.
But then, anyone who considers tiddleywimps a competitive
sport is a joke!
The season opened with a small crowd on a field that made
beach soccer look to a billiard surface.
It made Belmore Park look great!
Then followed the Wolves game against Perth, and what a pathetic
surface! The same nongs laid another
egg!
On a very sad note the great
Aboriginal football player and supporter Charlie Perkins died today, and his
ghost may be heard throughout the land.
From the newsgroup
a football fan says:
“Football lost a great
advocate with the death this morning
of Charlie Perkins.
I only heard of it late this
afternoon on the walk home
from work as a radio news
item.
I was glad to have the
chance to see Charlie in a football
context when I was at the
Expo in Sydney in 1999. I think
he enjoyed his involvement
with ordinary football fans who
saw him as a footballer and
friend of football sometimes
outside the context of his
important profile in indigenous
issues.
But this aspect of his life
should not be forgotten by
football fans either, as the
energy, passion, and drive he
brought into our game was
the same energy, passion, and
drive that fuelled his
life-long involvement with aboriginal
and islander issues.
We knew you weren't going to
live forever Charlie, but
it still doesn't make your
death easier to come to
terms with. I'm sure at times he was a total bastard to
deal
with, but if there was a
person in Oz who had more reason
to be cranky about issues
fundamental to creating
a decent and honourable
Australia, I'd be keen to know
who he or she is. That football remained in his focus is
to our benefit, and I for
one am grateful we had such a
champion of the game.
Vale
Charlie Perkins.”
The Joker continues with the anti-competitive practice this time
putting a highlights program onto free-to-air 12.30 at night so all the young
players have the ability to watch and support football. Meanwhile all other highlights are banned
from free-to-air! Why else would the
joker buy the rights if not to stop public access so that tiddleywimps
maintains its dominance over the free-to-air?
Now the varanus (lack of) varius pianna crawls out of its hole and
buys the World Cup rights- for the same purpose: to restrict coverage of
football on the free-to-air monitor, so it can maintain the effective monopoly
of tiddleywimps and packielackey?
An excellent performance by the Socceroos sees an easy 2-0 win over Scotland in pouring rain.

Viduka, unlike
the Ghoul was there in the dugout even though he was injured. Meanwhile the Ghoul was glued to the tele
watching a repeat of ‘I’m a wimpy
weasel’ while the pixie sat on his shoulder and whispered into his ear.
As one fan observes about
packielackey:
“Why
does soccer persist in calling international matches 'Friendlies'? It has the connotations of making the game less
marketable. If you use the same logic 90% of ARL internationals would be
friendlies, not as the marketers of this nothing code would have us believe -
titanic battles on which the future of the free world rests.”
Especially
their crappy packielackey ANZAC test with the Kiwi minnows!
They
didn’t even play packielackey then, football was and still is soccer.
In the land where they think
the Earth is flat and the Moon landing was a hoax- Melbourne, the tiddleywimps
media win the battle to see the demise of the ‘Carlton Dagoes’ who play
football. In the end the Melbatoast
goes soggy and the Joker with his tiddleywimp entourage are exposed for what
they are- a mixture of iron filings and sulphuric acid.
Carlton will be remembered in
football folklore for that great Grand Final with South Melbourne that was much
better than the FA Cup.
The Wolves are set to play in the
Oceania Club Championships and the media has instituted a blackout. The Telmoron as usual ignores football. Even the local rag The Mercury (or is
that The Mercurochrome ) had only a small article buried deep in the
paper about the championship before the Wolves last home game against the
Kingz. A win will see the region become
a world focus, but here the media monopoly ignores the region’s greatest
tourist asset.
The Wolves emerge as Oceania
Champions, without even a mention in the packielackey Nine Network,
although the Mechurochrome did cover the games quite well to the local town.
Wolves have been drawn in the
‘Group of Death’.
Group A
Boca Juniors
(Argentina)
Deportivo La Coruna (Spain)
Wollongong Wolves (Australia)
Zamalek (Egypt)
Group B
Palmeiras (Brazil)
CD Olimpia (Honduras)
Galatasaray (Turkey)
Al-Hilal (Saudi Arabia)
Group C
Real Madrid (Spain)
Jubilo Iwata (Japan)
Accra Hearts of Oak (Ghana)
Los Angeles Galaxy (United States)
Predictions:
·
ongoing media blackout leading up to the World
Club Championship.
·
when reported a denigration of the teams and the players by the
·
media morons as they lick the Eudyptula very minor and Varanus lack of varius turning their hairy
tongues brown.
Well, the day of the draw went by
and the usual grandstanding of
ignorance at the ABC abounds, not a mention anywhere on its sports
programs. Can’t release news about a
successful football club.
Now Northern Spirit will not only have
a cricket pitch in the middle of the ground they play on but it is about to be
trampled by a tiddleywimps exhibition game which undoubtedly will turn the
surface into a cow paddock that will see random bounces of the ball for the
rest of the season. The tiddleywimps
are bankrolling an incursion into the traditional Northern Suburbs football
area in an attempt to turn a game of Victorians Rules into an Australia wide
game such as football. With all their
millions, their game of tiddleywimps will always be nth rate as far as football
is concerned. Football is the only
truly competitive code. Better a game
of football with 200 spectators than an nth- rated bore bankrolled by a
monopoly media.
While on the Spirit, Arnold
has resigned as the best team on paper languishes at the bottom of the
table. Arnold is about to help the
Socceroos qualify as Assistant Coach to Farina. Let’s hope Farina knows what he is doing hiring an assistant who
appears to be the worst coach in the league.
The other coaches of teams near the foot of the table have spent a
fraction what Arnold did. However
Arnold was a Socceroo and played professionally in Europe so he might bring
some valuable experience to the team.
His loyalty to Australia and his thirst for football is unquestioned.
Spirit was a team that
attracted 18 000 to its games now have only 5 000 loyal supporters and are
without a decent ground to play on.
Things have turned so bad that the Spirit lost to the bottom club at
home.

Since when is fourth top of the
table?
Innumeracy abounds at the ABC, or is it an illusion?
Out of the cow paddock, the
ignorant radio compare Viv with her dripping nose ring, chewing on the monopoly
cud went on to moo “The real football season begins soon.” after the sports
report- a reference to tiddleywimps.
She is obviously a member of the Flat Earthers Guild from Melbourne.
We citizens pay 8 cents-a-day to
be to subject to this government anti-football propaganda.
True to form they continue to promote and report on
packielackey and tiddleywimps results in their morning news releases but refuse
to reports the results of football. This time the Canberra
(our national capital) v Newcastle game where the new Cosmos coach comes up
with win for the team languishing at the bottom of the league. But then this is par for the national
capital the centre of xenophobia where football is considered a game played by
people with ‘funny’ names:
Coach
Mike Milovanovic
Goalkeepers
Angelo Konstantinou
Barney Smith
Defenders
Toplica Popovich
Andrew Ravanello
Nicholas Purdue
David Milin
Robbie Hooker
Hiroshi Miyazawa
Midfielders
Alex Castro
Shane Lyons
Andrew Rakic
Marcus Phillips
Ilija Prenzoski
Strikers
Milton Cortes
Mark Hagger
John Angelucci
Brad Scott
Cosmos is the team most likely
for the administrative drop next year- impose administrative government and get
distorted football.
Why create an artificial league
that copies the nth-raters with its engineered
packielackey/tiddlewimps games where true competition is but an illusion
for the force-fed public?
Relegation and promotion
through on-the-field results is the only reasonable way.
But, in an over-governed
country with its effective monopoly media that restricts access to football,
Soccer Australia is forced pays homage to the Penguin’s
methodology.
It is important
- Please
read and observe any information signs which may be placed at the penguin
colony.
- Remember
you need to wear dark clothing for camouflage. Also, ensure you will
remain warm.
- Approach
your observation point from the land, preferably not by walking along the
beach as this blocks the penguins access to their burrows. Use existing
tracks and do not walk through the colony as it destroys burrows. Please
do not damage vegetation.
- Choose
a viewing position which is at least 3 m from, and does not block, the
penguins' access to their burrows. Choose a site which has a dark
background to camouflage yourself.
- Settle
yourself comfortably before last light. If there are experienced personnel
available, please take their advice. Remain quiet and keep movement to a
minimum. Penguins have excellent vision and easily spot movement,
especially if they see you outlined against the sky.
- Only
dim torches emitting a red light (red cellophane over the lens is OK)
should be used and then never toward the water or directly at the
penguins. Flash cameras should not be used on the beach. Video cameras,
without spotlights, can be used and produce better results at dusk than
conventional cameras. Often the best places to view penguins are behind
the beach where they feel more secure. Again, only use red light. To aid
viewing, binoculars are useful, even at night.
- Do
not under any circumstances visit a colony with dogs (or cats). They are a
major threat to penguins. Even if dogs are leashed their smell remains to
attract others. Take your food scraps away as these also attract dogs and
cats.
- Penguins
are protected wildlife. It is illegal to catch, attempt to catch or
otherwise harass penguins. If this type of behaviour is observed, please
report it to the nearest ranger. Offences are taken seriously. If you have
interests or concern about your local penguin population please contact our
nearest Parks and Wildlife Service ranger, or contact us at interps@delm.tas.gov.au
