My mum is a non-football fan but is fully behind the team yelling and shouting at the TV. I'm sure many are in the same position knowing people like that.
If the Matildas haven't ''cut through'' for you, that's not on them or the rest of the country, it's just willful ignorance
The A-League unfairly, for the most part imo cops way more shit than it deserves.
I'll put it up against any league in the world for pure entertainment value and that there are many more good and entertaining games than there are bad ones.

I feel like Nani may be one of the marquee signings who has expected an easy pay day in Australia in a summer league but has come to realise it's actually a tougher league than he thought.

If you're watching Fox Sports/Kayo this weekend & you have a look at the program guide with the information for each sport and channel - My new job is to have a hand in reviewing and making sure that data is correct. Which is cool af to me
Stoked they've put me in a sports role.
OMFG. Enough.
We know about Barcelona. The history, the players, the accomplishments.
How about we talk up our own league and its players? Talk about what each player did this season. Mention the clubs, goals, assists, contributions. Compliment OUR league.
It is objectively hilarious that a team manufactured to win trophies with the aid of billionaire ownership has been outnumbered by their direct rival at a game who cultivated their fanbase in a natural and totally organic way.
It's a very interesting dichotomy.

Once again, ticket prices are absolutely extortionate. $40 for an adult ticket in the away bay. What an absolute joke. How are we supposed to grow the game and get new people interested in coming to games with that rip off.
Twenty's plenty

I have seen a lot of opinions on Twitter over the last decade but "The games go on whether fans are there or not" is surely the most insane I've ever seen.
A sport goes on without fans? How? Please explain that for me. Cheers.
This is what our game faces. They just can't stomach our passion and they'l never understand. We refuse to be passive like other codes. This isn't about the RBB. It's bigger then that. Those who create the atmosphere are invariably the ones punished for it. We've had enough!
A massive thank you to each and every one of the 10,556 fans who filled the stands of Our Paradise last night! The Mariners family truly is a special one 💛💙

I don't wanna get blocked again but lol at the SFC account saying ''not much went our way''
Things have gone your way for years. This new ref takes no shit and isn't swayed. Have him ref every game possible.

Looks like Danny has announced his retirement at the Erina Fair event today.
What a magnificent career and an absolute club legend. A wonderful servant of Australian football for 2 decades.
You can't bow out of the game any better than he has.
Fun fact. Malmö will play a Europa League away match that is closer than any of their away matches in the Swedish league.
Distance between the Malmö and København stadiums is 43 km.
Distance between the Malmö and Helsingborg stadiums is 73km.

@CCMariners
took place last night as l put pen to paper on a 4 month intern deal. Can confirm l am on marquee wages. Cheers to Charlesworth for believing in me.
Thanks to
@CarlyCCMFC
for this masterpiece.
Excited to say that today l was given a chance to intern at CCM over the next few months. Will be some valuable experience and a great thing to put on the resume. Hope to be a help where l can.
Pretty conflicted about the future of my support of the A-League hey. This is just a few beers in type of rant/thread but fuck it l guess.
How does one just stop going to something after 10+ years? CCM is my passion and the 90 minutes each week is where l can truly be myself.
Staj being sacked is one of the worst decisions ever made in Australian football.
But
That saw him end up with us and that started an upward trajectory for CCM so cheers for that.
So Victory cannot play at home on Saturday night because their home ground is booked by Western United so the Victory have to play on Saturday night at Western United's home ground.
Australian football never disappoints.
Blame Lewis all you want and it's valid but Duke missed 2 guilt edge chances and Arnie's ultra defensive tactics invited the pressure and swung the game in the opposition's favour.
Time we got a Socceroos side away from Arnieball.
#AUSvKOR
Bit sore but wow...
Last night was by far the greatest sporting event I've ever been to. The atmosphere from both sets of supporters was the loudest I've ever heard in person.
Everything that is great about football was on full show. An amazing advert for the league.
Cannot even begin to express how much relief l have right now to nail down a full time job. COVID has hit us all hard and l wish everyone luck on their job search. Just keep on preserving and it'll come.
It took me a while but finally got there in the end.
2 weeks straight of sports l both care about and love and also random sports I'll only watch when it's the Olympics.
Let's goooo.

Congrats to the Vuck. 2 cracking goals needed tonight to beat us. Always fun to experience the North End providing the best atmosphere in any sport in this country.
Shout out to CCM fans too, everyone put in a solid effort and got behind our boys 100%
We were here. Tuesday night, 1000km from home behind our team all the way.
The Champions of the league draw 500 people at most.
My club has got more heart, soul and integrity than this plastic nothing franchise.
Not a single ad, barely a peep out of the broadcaster and no promotion of a national sporting league which starts tonight.
If you're not already a fan of the A-League, you'd not have a damn clue what's happening.
Absolute shambles.
So fucking proud that l can honestly cry 😢
I love this club with all my heart, and the supporters deserve every bit of this feeling that we currently have.
Thank you for restoring pride in the badge

Monty, Staj, all staff, players, absolute legends

Gotta give a shout out to Bruce on the 7 coverage. Pre-tournament was wondering why he would be on the coverage with seemingly limited knowledge of football but has showed he's been fully invested. Have heard way worse from other pundits on football coverage that's for sure.
I am absolutely stoked for Connor Pain. Guy was a mainstay of some poor CCM sides, was always the most passionate player in those teams, all heart and on multiple occasions, came over on away days after losses and apologised when he didn't need to.
Deserved for Painy. Onya mate
Finally weighed in under the 100 kegs. Haven't been this light for a few years. Feeling good and much healthier. Rewarding myself with the 1 beer and getting back at it tomorrow 👌💪
Absolutely soaking wet but worth it. I used to come to this stadium dreading the game in our worst years. It was just an obligation to be there.
To come through those times to now have won a title and a premiers plate in a year is just unbelievable.
The little club that could.
As of 1:32pm, l am officially 25 years old. I started on this app in 2012 as a weird 18 year old and ever since then, have met some great people and even become good mates with a few. Shoutout to all of you.
Now enjoy a photo of my finest hour on this platform.
My fav of all the photos I've seen around the socials.
21 year old Central Coast local celebrates an 18 year old scoring for the team who gave him his break into professional football.
Perfectly sums up the ethos of the club.

So, this place is what, 45 mins from the CBD by train, nothing is around for a pre game drink, just a pitch in the middle of empty land. Not feeling this away day my friends.
