@scout_aussie What were your thoughts on Italiano? feel he leaves a bit to be desired defensively and his attacking output (in these warmup matches anyway) hasn’t been imo very impressive.
Felt that Bennie would have been a much more rounded and robust option there.
@InTheMixer Says the bloke projecting his insecurities about literally the biggest nothing burger I’ve seen on sokkah twitter. rich.
They’re adults, I’m sure they’ll be fine the official a league account didn’t mention them. 😥
@InTheMixer Bro, atp just say you think nepotism was involved, that’d be more believable than whatever non issue you’re trying to push.
If you hadn’t noticed all season that he was a standout in almost all SFC games and is already one of our best mids, then you are actively ignoring it.
@InTheMixer That’s great. But I don’t see the initial problem you made up in your head about this ‘PR campaign’ for POE… There should be hype around it, considering his age and rise.
@Hirald0@InTheMixer You’re nitpicking so hard rn. I’ve seen multiple posts from the Socceroos accounts and official a leagues pages mentioning all of their selections.
POE’s inclusion is akin to Kuols rise to stardom which was well documented at the time.
@FrankWCE1992@VinceRugari To an extent, that probably played the smallest part in the whole scenario.
Naturally if you hold dual citizenship or are eligible, it would be a no brainer to explore opportunities in that country especially if they see the talent the other does not.
@charlescerb@CruzeConsulting He was like 18 when he did something which was probably taken out of context. He had every right to hold out, let’s not remember the Australian system let him down, but this situation is perfect for us and him.
@scout_aussie Was super impressed by Okon-Engstler when he came on, just such a positive player, which changed the entire dynamic of the game.
Yazbek also looks like he has taken his game to another level for sure, looks like he’s playing with a lot of confidence this year.
@BarratBazza2@NOT_MOTD Well this isn’t the A-League, and no. 11 in this clip scored against Senegal in the African cup of nations.. just for some context.
@DamirKulas This is partly true, but there is a snob element to it.. The small Barmy army presence to me says that wherever and whenever there is a football match on, the match day experience is unrivalled. Seemingly the casual Aussie sports fan simply won’t attend a game citing quality.
@thebrickcleaner@Harnit_@TheBarmyArmy That’s my point, they decided to go regardless of the quality. Reading comprehension not your strongest attribute buddy.
@thebrickcleaner@Harnit_@TheBarmyArmy In comparison to what?? The EPL? yeah no shit!
Crawl out of your AFL cave, and realise there are Football competitions worldwide with less support than the ALeague, I’m sure if the Barmy army had spare time to attend a game anywhere they would, because it is football.
