Did he live in Barcelona for 3 years? Are you sure, I could be mistaken but I think he may have mentioned it once or maybe even twice.....

TBF I was surprised to learn he got into the game back in 2001..bc I assumed he was an even-more-recent convert than that

Last 10 mins or so I think . Grazor asks him for a "marketing pitch" towards all "types" of football supporters as listed by Grazor. To fans of NPL/NSL clubs who feel exclsuded the gist was, sure thats bad but if the dream is to have por/rel they should support the ALeague to enusre there is a strong enough top tier to be promoted too.. The guy discovered soccer, wasnt born into it and draws a living feeding of the top flight... I could neve relate to his take, the game isnt a product to pitch, its a way of life.

It doesn't matter how LONG you have been addicted, only that you are addicted :)

But as evidenced by takes such as his, it CAN matter if despite having followed it for ‘long enough’, one still falls prey to prioritising the short-term commercialism-aspect(as he’s clearly done by saying what he did) over playing the long-game that puts the sport and its constituent parts first💡

Believe me, as someone who once would’ve concurred w/his stance, there is def a correlation.

Different addictions... My one will only die if my club does.... old mate sees football as a fun passtime he can make a living from.

He also said if a league championship both go well then we'll be closer to p and r or something like that anyways

Sure, Id be happy if for the last 20 years my club was in the Aleague and yours had to wait, for some indeterminate time and the finances of some foreign entities to align, another 20-40 or 100 years before you were allowed to compete for promotion on the pitch.

Would YOU still be a Melb City Guy or take old mates suggestion and become a South Melbourne Hellas member?

I believe he said he became a football fan when 14 in 2001, which makes him 3 years younger than me

do I get to call myself young too then?

I've been worried I've crossed the threshold of "old" since 3 years ago where I could no longer have a beer at night without feeling tired the next day haha

He needed to be called out on his BS, so how he takes it is wholly his prerogative. It’s just disheartening that someone who’s supposedly followed the game here for even as long as he has still places blasé/blind trust in the FFA/APL, despite all the evidence to indicate he shouldn’t👎🏼

Mind you, the fact he even prefaces his whole spiel w/the trite old “football is a game of opinions” IMHO straight-up outs him as a grifter💡
