Ah, here we go... Benjamin... Former scout, part-time agent, some time journalist, writer, and bloke who talks a lot about football, getting very frustrated when he's right about the bad things; miss-judger of Aaron Mooy, correct-judger of just about everything else football related... Sunderland fan by birth, South Melbourne fan by choice. Sell and manage real estate now - houses are easier to deal with than footballers. Lost the football plot during Sunderland's fall from the Premier to League One, and lockdown football. Completely out of the A-League loop now, but I've been pointed in this direction, so here I am.

Hi Benjamin, you have a lot in common with someone I know.

Your birthday isn't the 8th of October, is it?

ah nice! I think Arthur is the remaining south melbourne regular we are missing

great you have migrated over

you were a mod right? Do you know what happened to Joffa? Palasidious appears to be at a league reddit and stifflers mum appears to be at the ccm forum so we have tracked down most of the former mods

Would love to have you write some articles for green and gold!

I haven't talked to Arthur for a long time. I haven't been to South for way too long either - got out of the football habit during lockdown and other than Sunderland I've struggled to get any level of interest since.

I was a mod on 442. Never really spoke to any of the guys off the forum (a couple of phone calls with Decentric, a facebook friendship with another who's 442 name escapes me - and I've probably talked to, or seen, most of the south lads at some point, but wouldn't know who was who on facebook (or here). No idea who (or what) Joffa was.

To be honest, I wouldn't know what to write about. I'm extremely out of touch with regard to the A-League these days. When I saw that Western United had collapsed (as predicted) I read a few articles and noticed that I barely recognised any of the people they were talking about. I think it's tragic what's happened to the competition, even more tragic that many of us could see it coming years before it did.
