SMFC John

Supporter of clubs that mean something to the community not franchises.

The FA, Fox Sports and everyone involved in this decision owe football fans an apology

Meant to grow the game but they chose a model that delivered just 3,774 fans per game, leaving an estimated 485,600 attendances and $5.58m in ticket revenue on the table

No accountability

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@Chris_Chich Your point?

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

McVictory supporters

"Contro il calcio moderno" is Italian

Translates to "Against modern football"

While supporting a modern franchise that kicked out the Italians for being Italian is the epitome of modern football

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

Called out this so called journalists hypocrisy

Praising the multicultural national team while dismissing the very migrant built clubs that laid its foundation

Guess I hit a nerve

Always happy to discuss with anyone even those whod rather pretend history started in 2005🤝

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@SrSittingBull @MichaelLynchy Was wondering why he already blocked me, he seems to have a massive ego

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

"Ethnic clubs were only a problem because we had no alternatives"

The double standard from another "journalist"

Celebrating the modern migrant roots of the national team but dismiss the very community built clubs that built the games foundation

Shame on you @VinceRugari

[Chief @SrSittingBull]

‘The effnik clubs were only a problem because we had no alternatives’

‘Effnik clubs & their supporters need to be mindful of how political issues relating to those countries affect the product’

‘I don’t want to hear about who Alexander the Great, where he comes from’

‘Serbia, Croatia, Balkan Wars, the history of Yugoslavia’

Your so called leading football write in this country, Mr Vince Rugari. The less said about this piece of shit the better.

Anyone think we’re all a bunch of heathens. This is the type of shit we’d hear from David Hill in the early 90s and the institutional racist writers of the newspapers & media outlets of the time.

Back to so called ‘alternatives’, there were just as many non effnik clubs as effnik clubs in the NSL, that’s a fact.

@MichaelLynchy @SMEMUFC @Gatty54 Had the privilege to attend a game at white heart lane, it was such a beautiful old football ground with so many stories

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@MichaelLynchy @Gatty54 110% broadened its appeal which is why i support them 😂

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@smfcmike They need more foreign investors to prop up their failed economy / franchise league

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@Gatty54 @MichaelLynchy I wasnt even alive for any of this yet South still gets judged by events from 20+ years ago like nothings changed since

The club I support today is one of the most multicultural in Australia not the Greek ethnic enclave the media and community say it is

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@MichaelLynchy Vinces own words were that ethnic clubs were only a problem because we had no alternatives and that clubs need to be mindful of how politics "affects the product"

Not neutral commentary that's framing migrant identity itself as a liability to be managed

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@PLFC2025 hopefully they got a lifetime ban for bringing italian politics into our game

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@FSAAustralia @Craig_Foster

You supported the creation of it now you decided to change your mind?

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@MichaelLynchy Contemporary landscape yet still pushes the anti football media talking points that get used by him and others online to dismiss migrant founded clubs

Its sad and wrong on so many levels and not only hurts our club but football in Australia

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@MichaelLynchy @VinceRugari Funny because after the world cup and Irankunda the community was praising a multicultural Australia

While at the same time for 20+ years they have been destroying it with the lies and propaganda spread by anti football media / franchise owners

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@MichaelLynchy @VinceRugari We need more people like you mate, the lies that have not just been accepted but spread about how dangerous and violent the nsl was needs to be stopped

110% agree with the food and understanding more about the communities around the clubs and what the game means to them

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

I remember seeing a west sydney franchise supporter holding a "against modern football" plastic sign online around 2014 if anyone has that

Hilarious stuff

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@smfcmike Football QLD is ran by a corrupt Liberal politician

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@NPLcasual How is that franchise still functioning

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

@SrSittingBull @VinceRugari I support South and dont have a migrant background

I wonder where supporters like me fit into his outdated narrative 🤔

He will stay silent because he cant understand modern Australian football without putting down the migrant founded Australian clubs that built the game here

[SMFC John @SMFCJohn]

The hypocrisy is wild

Fans calling out Hanson for collective blame yet in the exact same breath repeat the bullshit that traditional clubs are dangerous because of "ethnic violence"

Absolute bullshit

[Football360.com.au @football360au]

Nestory Irankunda has revealed he and his Socceroos teammates were “upset” by Pauline Hanson’s comments on multiculturalism during the World Cup.
