We Are The Reds

The maths behind it all is a little more complicated than what is being portrayed as the sheer numbers of people AFL draws into the City on a weekly basis (and subsequent economic benefits) puts it in a better bargaining position. Cricket and the willingness to write off debt is another matter entir...

Not too sure on the need for an increase of sides in the Asian Cup. I guess its most likely to reduce the likelihood of big money nations like China and some from the middle east that are important to involve in tournaments but are a chance to stuff it up for themselves. I think that would be a par...

Superb. Simply Superb.

Well done, Stuckey. Just recognition for your sterling effort in herding the cats that constitute AUFC supporters.

It seems times they are a changing: (i) 2019 Asian Cup is to increase from 16 to 24 teams (ii) Challenge Cup is to be abolished (iii) WC & Asian Cup qualifiers are to be combined Teams will be divided into eight groups with the pool winners and four best-placed second sides reaching both the Asian C...

It was meant to be...

Following Adelaide has never been boring

As this is our last remaining ticket to Asia in 2015 I am on edge.

Considering the struggle the ACL gets for media attention I can't see this tournament getting much time on Fox sports news. Straneg thing is, Stuckey, that the ACL gets good airtime out here as many of the games are shown live on Fox Sports and Star Sports. This year they have even shown a few of t...

It is time for one of the more eclectic competitions in the official AFC calendar, the AFC President's Cup. For those unaware it is basically a competition for club champions from the bottom rung of the AFC. No Dordoi this year as the Kyrgyz competition has been elevated to AFC Cup status. Once agai...

I am happy with this and the entire long-term project approach. Hopefully we get to see a conveyor belt of local talent established. Now that would be something.

Well that was a game we should have won. Such is life.

Philippines signing off and going to get another beer.

Ah bugger

Big sub there!
