Apparently its on TV 1 of all places. I'm going to have to lift my boycott of that channel for the game.

He used to do the Basketball (Breakers) on Radio Sport, was quite good at that

Wouldn't you think the A league programme would allow for no rounds on weekends when there are important international games? - (or do the SoccarEdnas not play their qualifiers at the same time as us?)

The FFA made a decision not to call off matches for call-ups. 

Sydney lost 5 a few weeks ago when Aus played Argentina, plus this weekend many sides lose players to the Aus Olympic qualifying campaign.  Perth may lose up to 4 from memory.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Well said. They have made a change to the finals series to accommadate the socceroos WC qualifiers.

 I`m sure if a team in the English championship had a few players away on international duty this weekend they would  have their game re- scheduled. An issue for FNZ to discuss with the FFA before next septembers games v New Caledonia.

So this is not a FIFA regulation? Up to each association to make it`s own rules?

I hear NZF were too cheap to buy injured Nelsen a first class air ticket - even though they are sponsored by an airline

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

If we watch the game at the BB or Lounge, then we should hook up a mic and have turns at doing out own commentary. Beats listening to some geezer who has never watched footy in his life.

Fiji? Vanuatu?  I can't pretend to be interested in these World Cup qualifiers given the advent of the Phoenix.  On the other hand Phoenix v Central Coast Marinated, that is a game I'm prepared to go to...
