I think it is quite telling, sort of a litmus test, that there is no thread on the upcoming Adelaide game yet, while in the "Squad Speculation" thread there is an almighty pileup on whether an otherwise respected sports commentator should be a follower of one NZ team when he could or should follow another NZ team.
I don’t respect him less for supporting AFC! It’s an observation and opinion not a judgement. Come on- this is a very happy man right here:
And as for a pile up, it’s just me, going against the tide. Nobody else cares or agrees. My feeling is I wanna know where people stand. Others think neutrality is necessary.
Piney’s a great commentator, past and present! Especially given my first year as a distance fan I listened to a lot of radio commentary. And as we’ve established there’s a lot of Phoenix fans who feel connected to the new team, some who have it as their new first team.
In the old days it used to just be us Piney, before the new, younger club came to town with all its sass…
As for not talking about Adelaide we’re in crap form and they just won 4-1 with ten men against last seasons champions. That’s kinda scary.
Ave Adelaide! We who are about to be mauled salute you!
