DPW, Bankstown City Lions. Yes, I do have a nationality that ties me to this team but I've also been going to their games since I was 3 years old. You've been to 4 Sydney FC home games and you think you love the club. Don't get me wrong, I am excited that people are gaining a genuine interest in football but there are too many dickheads who want get rid of the ethnicity in Australian football when it isn't all that bad - it's just the media who blows everything out of proportion.
The NSWPL will be the best ever and will be second only to the A-League. As for Sutherland being accepted, I'm very disappointed that they have taken place of teams such as St George or Bonnyrigg, but I guess Sutherland met the criteria and that's all that matters. I hoppe they can live up to their expectations because there is a lot of unhappy parties in regards to their inclusion.
Yeah, Petrovski is shit - way past is due date. He belongs back at Bankstown
.
Komit! A Macedonian!
How into the Lions are you? Like, do you watch the 20s etc? Or just the Firsts?
My brother (who played in the NSW U/16s team in the National Championships about a month ago) plays for Bankstown. He played with the 16s last season and was their best player by a mile and a half. He's with the 18s this season, and he *might* get a few games with the 20s.
His name is Damian Petrovic (yeah, dad's Serb and mum's Croat .. what the f*ck were the chances?!?) .. look out for him if you can!
Also good to hear that you've been supporting Bankstown for years .. as opposed to deciding to support them after the recent success they have been enjoying.
I'm really quite dirty about the fact that Bonnyrigg got shafted. Apart from being one of the strongest clubs in the NSWPL in recent times, their pitch is magical (and their scoreboard is world class too).
But this is the problem with 'wog soccer'. Way too much politics involved in it all.

Back to the A-League .. I'll be getting out to the SFS on Sunday for the FC vs Jets match. It's convenient because the last two weeks I've done all my English and Maths exams, and now I have an almost two week break until Business Studies and Economics on two of the last three days of the HSC. So I can get out and hopefully have a bit of fun .. haven't had much of that lately :S
I just cannot for the life of me believe that Adelaide are top of the table. Either they are grossly overachieving, or Kosmina has drawn blood from the proverbial stone and utilised every last ounce of talent that his squad possesses.
If and when Sydney get their act together, they'll win the competition. Their defence is so shoddy, though, that it won't be so surprising if they fail to do this. I remember being at the SFS for the opening game against the Victory, and that night dad and I just looked at each other in both horror and disgust at the pathetic display of defending we were witnessing from Sydney.
That hasn't changed much since .. well, it clearly hasn't considering the amount of goals they've conceded in the A-League. It's embarrassing that it took the boys 9 matches to get a clean sheet, and against none other than the team running 9 points behind second last.
They've got to get their freaking act together. Sunday against Newcastle should be a good test considering that the Jets are in decent form at the moment.
Haha who saw Nick Carle's outside-of-the-left shot in the 90-something-th minute against the Mariners on Sunday? Didn't miss by much .. but then, I thought that players would be able to shoot with both feet. Unless I didn't pick it up the only time I watched it and he didn't have enough time, I reckon that he should have hit that ball with the regulation inside of the right foot, despite him being a left-footer.
