Beg to diffe4, these types of actions not accounted for will mean no championship and defs no NST beyond, all it dors is lend more credence to those that argue this is what wr will always be... personal opinion obviously...

Ok so Preston out, Knights and Bergers cant afford it, Adelaide Juve and Hellas can't afford it and nobody from Perth is interested.. What do you want to do wait till Oakleigh and Matt Windlys Australian Wrexham are ready before we have a full home and away comp??
 
Dont think we will ever have a proper nst. The current championship format is as good as its gonna get and it doesnt require Preston to be a success, they didnt even make it out of the group stage last year.

We also dont need Prestons gate, any money you make off them is offset by security costs and the bullshit that follows. The club should have dug its heels and pushed for a make up later in the season, we knew we were gonns bugger all on a Saturday, Preston at most loses 20 fans to lalor sloga so it doesnt affect them.

Fair enough play on.. fold the whole thing for all I care... Sick of worrying about getting to a better place if nobody else seems to want to.. Fuck it Im happy with 300 people at Lakeside on a sunny Sunday arvo.

I dont agree with the notion that we need Preston to be bigger than what we are. We are a much bigger national club than them.

Of course we are and I dont think we need Preston either but we DO need clubs that will attract enough sponsorship and fan support to get an NST launched. Lose Preston and we are left with what, Us, Marconi and Sydney United? The rest are running on best intentions...

Big couple of weeks coming up for Sinisa...

Massive matches coming up. In order to continue the positive momentum over the last few weeks, wins against Oakleigh and Adelaide United are non-negotiable. That buys Sinisa time to have the new player signings fully embedded into his playing style and ensure they are fully match fit.

We get a relatively easy home match against St Albans Dinamo at Lakeside, and then the last 3 matches are just insane - Heidelberg, Melbourne City Youth, and CS George Cross.

To get a NSD up and running we need 8-10 strong clubs. We want to be the only Greek-backed team from Melbourne in the NSD. Having Preston, Avondale, and either a Melbourne Knights/CS George Cross/Hume City as the fourth Victorian team is plenty. Then you get 4 other clubs from NSW (Marconi, Sydney United, Wollongong, APIA), and a team from Adelaide and Brisbane.

To kill off Preston opens the door to other clubs that may be much weaker, or it reduces the pool of available clubs that can step up. I'm just thinking more long-term.

Nobody at South would EVER turn their back in front of on Okaleigh lout... Your support is NOT wanted nor accepted. If you wanna fight some sort of middle ages war I suggest you go join one of the ex Yugolsav clubs if they'll have you, we just want to watch football.

?????

I've been saying to ban the Preston boys so that we can continue to watch football in peace???? Next time take a few minutes, read over it again and again until you fully understand what's been discussed. It's not war, only you are talking about wars and fights.

I can watch football quite well anywhere, whether that is at a hostile Preston or at a library like your ground. The bleating of children and poorly written "banners' dont bother me, if anything it adds to the atmosphere.

If there is a chance the Preston Boys can cost Preston points and help soilidify our position in the top 6 I absolutely DO NOT want them banned.. In fact they should be encouraged to lean deeper into their Aleague roots.

Of course it doesn't bother you and of course you dont want them banned, because you're childish and only care for your own selfish agenda.

Luckily clubs are speaking out and working together with South Melbourne on this, i believe including my club.

Do we have a game on Friday night or fucken what? Enough of Preston and Bergers. We got some slightly underweight fish to fry. Defeat those fat cunts at Oaks is the only scenario I will entertain..

We go with an unchanged Starting XI on Friday night

Charlston
Kkwomo
Jankovic
Ramazani
Painter-Andrews
Pasquali
Giannakopoulos
Mikkola
Yoo
Uchida
Juach

Bench - Cocks, Retre, Swibel, Van Riet

Oakleigh will hit us on the right hand side to put pressure on Painter-Andrews to make unnecessary errors. This is one match where we cannot make charity substitutions. Retre, Swibel and Cocks will need to come on at some point for fresh legs and maintain the intensity.

They could also test out Nkomo on the left side. Any status updates on Lampard?

They will probably have too much firepower for us. Important we stay in the game and dont get blown away early. I dont expect enormous improvement from Juach in 1 week.

Maybe not in fitness but stretches the centre halfs enough to get Yoo and Yuki wide and in some space. I agree, the longer we stay in the game the more they will get frustrated. Oakleigh doesn't seem to like teams that run at them..
