Shoot goal

I have learnt my craft from the best political system on the Planet in Ozz.
Two teams battling it out Liberal v Labor, Blue v Red, a lump of swinging voters in the country, this promise that promise, broken promise , another broken promise...

See the pattern .......?

Nothing happens , only the people at the top benefit fooling the people at the bottom.

It is all about winning for the few nothing about proper consultation from the masses.

Soccer in Adelaide Town is not far of it.

The other obvious pattern is as stated Soccer is no longer my number one priority as my younger days.
If I made a living out of it today it might be but it is not.
Volunteering has an end date. Been there done that.

Your crap on this forum IS NOT your "craft" as you put it. You make it sound like your posts are a valuable art form.

Again, you deflect the issue that I brought up. The issue is how you DO NOT take responsibility for anything. It is always something or someone else that is to blame for everything. Reflecting on your disappointment with broken political promises and people at the top benefiting at the expense of others, IS NOT responding directly to the issue at hand. Again, you have proven my point about you.

Writing crap on FN should have an end date as well.

It is no wonder that clubs like West Adelaide and the Adelaide Comets do not want you, not even as a volunteer. Your ridiculous views, negativity and way of thinking are a liability, and would only cause problems.

You obviously think that you have plenty to offer the game and that you feel that you are deserving of a position where you could earn money from it. However, as your failure to attract a referee for the FFSA Director's position shows,the football community doesn't share your belief.

I just wonder why you keep posting on this forum. People DO NOT take you seriously as you are totally out of touch with reality, yet happy to be so critical. You have shown yourself as just a self-seeking individual that doesn't really support the game.

Who said I wanted, ever wanted, or want to engage with these clubs ?
Comets, Olympic and wah2 are not Wah original.

These are all very small pieces of Wah original.

If I feel like it or have some time I might go out and watch a game if?
Watching was never a forte of mine I preferred playing the game.

Oops again got the Sunday wrong, this fixture business for NPL is confusing , got to bra head if the fixture game here .

The NPL fixtures are confusing.
My spelling mistakes are due to the difficulty with the damn iPhone.
My appalling grammar is due to the damn iPhone.
The grounds are too far away from the CBD.
I couldn't attend the international at the Adelaide Oval as I was celebrating my birthday.
I couldn't attend the A-League Grand Final as it was Orthodox Easter Sunday.
I couldn't attend another game due to a religious function.
I couldn't accept Forum contributors' offers ( A number of times) of paying my entrance fee to a local game, as my diary was full of non-soccer events.
I had the vision of legally separating the juniors from the seniors, but the club asked me to vacate my position at the Juniors and leave.
Soccer use (sic!) to be my life, but now I have a life. However, I will post about soccer on Football News for 16 years.
The SAASL should take over the running of the local game, but I will nominate to be a director of the FFSA.
I nominated to be a FFSA Director, but no-one would agree to be my referee.
Kilburn is a mistake for West Adelaide, but Gillman with a 45K terraced stadium and with youth practice pitches around it, is a better option.
I attended a training camp for an Australian youth team, but Rudi Gutendorf never picked me for an official international.
It is a disgrace that Adelaide United have a side in the local league, but it was also a disgrace that the old SASF denied entry to Adelaide City and West Adelaide.
People on this forum unfairly "bully" me, but I have done nothing to deserve this.
Some of my posts have been cut by FN but I do not know why.
I lament the demise of Greek soccer carnivals, but I will not lift a finger to try and revive them again.
I have been told that I use the question mark incorrectly, but I will continue to use it as I please.



Has anyone else spotted the pattern here? Is this man always absolving himself of all responsibility or what? :lol: :lol:


Can anyone add to this "colourful" list of JD gems? I may have missed some other gems from him. One of my all-time favourites is the suggestion that it would be easy to build a 45K capacity TERRACED stadium at Gillman and the terraces would be "mounded" and shaped by dirt! What a classic!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am responding directly to JD. "You" is therefore correct. Your version changes the meaning. Are you trying to be funny?

Most people from Crete are probably nothing like him.

In fact, the doco I watched last night with the Crete priest who is a part time bouncer and carries a gun, saying he will defend his people and religion best he can is definitely no-one to mess with.

Are you aware what has happened in the Aegean? Over 1 million refugees and pensioners sharing their groceries?

So much humanity so a lot more inclusive and tolerant than other European countries including Australia.
