Gold Coast Galaxy.

While at work reading 442 i found an article about the new Gold Coast Galaxy and under that i found a comment some of which i can see where this chaps coming from some of which hes proply a bit out of line.

 

 

 Here goes....

 

"

I've mentioned this issue on the forum previously. I find names like: Glory, Roar, Victory and now the Galaxy is so stupid. It is typical American crap...

I have been told in the past that - the teams names are designed for 'brand recognition'. For example Melbourne FC - could be mistaken for an AFL or rugby league team.

But Maybe these other codes need to wake up to themselves... Rugby League is not football (its "Rugby League"), and AFL is not football (its Aussie rules or Aerial ping pong). Besides with League, you hardly ever use your feet to kick the ball - so it should be called Handball or something.

Anyway - back to the topic at hand. The FFA should have a law in place to restrict the silly names that go around. Lets try to stick with the Adelaide or Sydney models. Lets have:
Sydney FC
Adelaide Utd
Perth FC
Melbourne Utd
Brisbane Utd (Formerly Qld Roar)
Gold Coast FC
Townsville FC
Gosford FC
Newcastle FC (not to be mistaken for the English version)
Wellington FC

Also, I think Wellington should be eliminated from the A-League. The A-league is supposed to be the Australian League. Could you imagine Wellington winning the competition - and somehow they would make it into the Asian Champs League -- despite been officially part of the Oceania confederation.
Anyway, Ricky herbert has chosen mostly kiwi's for the team - yet they still are on the bottom of the league. After 2-3 club collapses, its time for the FFA to kick them out."

 

End.

 

After reading that i totally agree with the names. where the excuse my language "f*ck" do you get phoenix out of wellington and football. or roar out of queensland or football. LETS GO BACK TO OLD SCHOOL!

Wellingtons inclusion in the a-league is great for football in new zealand and i belive wellington doing better than knights and kings even though they've only got 2 more points than the knights 18 last year. Why cant the A-league be called ANZ-League. have a team from wellington-chch-auk abolish this nzfc crap. abolish oceania and lets join the Asian confedration where New Zealand football might one day grow just a thought.

 

 

Actually, I just read your post again and realised that most of the sh*t in there was actually a quote from somebody else. Sorry mate, I'm old and not as sharp as I used to be. Maybe you're not the wee trolly thing I thought you were.

 

.... or then again, maybe I was right the first time

 

Retract aforementioned knob comment.
