...and desperately trying to start a fight with the FFA. My favourite part is the phrase "bully-boy" thrown in there seemingly at random.

"Darling FFA bully-boy, please give us all the finals revenue, you bastard. May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman, Sunday News."

Seriously - good on the FFA for giving them one-word email replies, except I wouldn't have been so polite.

Sunday News levels of trolling are only matched by certain knitters that appear on here now and then. Read that story and cringed the whole way. Truly appalling journalism from a truly horrible 'newspaper'. Hopefully this doesn't get picked up in Australia.

How would a bledisloe cup style matchup work financially? It would likely only be local players, meaning a drastically under strength Australia so whats the point. And yes Simon, as much as I love cricket (and enjoy rugby occasionally) neither are international sports compared to football, there are more than 10-15 teams that play at a competitive level, there is an established club structure that dominates, and the international model is completely different. I don't know why i'm arguing though as this whole article is trash, so i'm just going to stop now.

Didn't see any "boomshanka" in the article.
 
Just muck raking sh!t stirring.
 
I have now been three weeks without delivery of SST - it's taken me all this time to get off my @rse to enquire anout it.  Honestly can't say that I've missed getting a sunday paper.

i like how there's no option to make comments after the article, like there usually is.
looks more like a 12 year olds blog than an article from a nationally distributed newspaper.

Nevertheless, Australians should sympathize.   They have the Daily Telegraph for instance.

They could hold it at the end of May / beginning of June and therefore most players would be available?

You ddnt miss much today either .. only Billy Harris' column that I could see which gave a backhanded compliment to the the Nix when he admitted he'd been wrong earlier when he didn't think they would make the playoffs.
 
He went on to say that he didnt think they'd make the grand final either .. but hoped he was wrong. So having a dollar each way. HOpe he is wrong this time too!
 
Hopefully SST will go bigger with it next week, match day.

We got a giggle out of it Steve-o. But I posted it on 4-4-2 (Midfielder has already posted it to MV Forum AT LEAST) as any good entertaining sh.t-stirrer should.

Hope you're well!

I think Midfielder found it before me buddy.

The article has give a bad journo a big name, much like a Rebecca Wilson or a Mike Sheanan here.

If soccer there is gaining real ground, expect this type of 'reporting' to come more frequently from the media.

The 'rugby' department at NZ's major papers want to keep their job you know.

Can only support DS last post..

YF has more than likely read Simon Hill now famous article " Can you smell the Fear"... if not it is worth having a read... Also on the MV site they have a thread of the same title... Smell the Fear"'

All I can say is a line I use a bit ... and it is what Gandi said...

First they ignore you, then they fight you, then you win...


So maybe you have left the ignore stage and are into the fight you stage...

Just a quick one boys, that Simon Plumb article from last week was only really picked up by The Roar (which is not high trafficked as a guess compared to News Ltd and Fairfax owned sites). But the mainstream Aussie media did pick up THIS from you guys:


http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/cricket/new-zealand-outrage-over-johnson-clash/story-e6frfg8o-1225836849801

<!-- google_ad_section_end(name=story_introduction) --> <!-- // .story-intro --> <!-- google_ad_section_start(name=story_, weight=high) -->New Zealand outrage over Johnson clash <!-- google_ad_section_end(name=story_line) --> <!-- // .story-line -->

NEW Zealand media have reacted to Mitchell Johnson's head clash with Scott Styris, accusing him of "puerile histrionics".

The Australian fast bowler confronted the chatty Kiwi batman mid-pitch after being hit for consecutive fours.

See the vision of the incident here and tell us if you think Johnson overreacted.

Styris guided the home team to victory in a thrilling end to the match.

But the reaction over the Tasman has focussed on the fiery incident, which saw Styris fined 15 per cent of his match fee and Johnson 60 per cent.

"Johnson was again reminiscent of Glenn McGrath; although only in the sense that his puerile histrionics soured a match that had otherwise been played in the highest of spirits," the TVNZ website wrote.

The site did acknowledge Styris had a habit of riling fast bowlers.
<!-- // .story-sidebar -->

Stuff.co.nz's Duncan Johnstone said the Aussie bowler "completely lost the plot".

Johnson had a "meltdown of mega proportions as he tried some gamesmanship on Styris and came off second best".

Well Johnson is a c**t. Along with the rest of the inbred Australian team.

Three for me, and two for them.

A lot of us aren't proud of them either mate. I remember when Shane Watson had a go at Chris Gayle here recently and we all cringed.

A lot of us haven't liked the Australian cricket players' attitudes the past few years. You can be assured of that.

Note to Mr Johnson: Trying to head butt somebody who is wearing a helmet is possibly not the smartest of ideas.

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

Boys, tell that Simon Plumb bloke that international soccer indifference is not just limted to Australia, look at this.

http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/socceroos/news/975667/US-friendly-on-the-cards

US friendly on the cards

Australia is tipped to meet the United States in a World Cup warm-up match on either June 1 or June 5 in South Africa.

However, according to US Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati, that potential game is not the beginning of a blossoming relationship between the two developing football powers.

Australia and the US are rivals to host the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups although Gulati recently revealed he believed Europe will win 2018 leaving 2022 as a battle between the USA and five bids of varying strength from the Asian Football Confederation.

Australia borrowed from Major League Soccer to launch the A-League five years ago, sending delegates on fact-finding missions to the US, but Gulati does not see any future special relationship with Football Federation Australia � even if both countries have much in common.

�There have been some things we have done but there have been some impediments, the biggest being distance, especially when it comes to playing each other,� Gulati told The World Game.

�In terms of stronger ties, that could mean exchange programs, knowledge sharing, games against each other. We have done some of that but our strongest ties frankly are with our biggest competitors.

�We have very strong ties with Mexico because they are our biggest competitor. We share meetings with them, we have a very large Hispanic population in the US, Mexico plays a lot of games here.

�We have very good ties with the FA in England and with Germany because of historical reasons. A lot of our coaching programs were adopted from the German model and in the case of England we have lots of history there.

Gulati cryptically confirmed he had seen reports of a match against Australia before the upcoming World Cup but doubted games between the two countries would become regular diary dates.

Australia last played the US in 1998 in San Jose, California, with Mark Viduka, Lucas Neill, and Brett Emerton featuring in a 0-0 draw.

�With Australia, given where most of their players play, which is in Europe, and where most of ours play, which is in Europe, unless we play the game in Europe, it means a heck of a lot of travel for that group of players,� Gulati said.
