If anything good could come of this whole shemozzle, hopefully its that the boys play out of their skins on the weekend. Guido - I'm an eternal optimist, somewhat unrealistically so at times. A little thing like my football team playing like crap isn't going to stop me from believing that things will change! As you say, support through the lows as well as the highs. And John - it really hasn't taken long for the soccer haters to jump all over these evens. You only need to look at comments on the Advertiser articles to see the joy some people are taking in AU's demise...Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885851243420089718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625853433708059573.post-11791423951660103092009-02-16T19:44:00.000+10:302009-02-16T19:44:00.000+10:30Hi NunnyI hope this was an unplanned outburst.

A fair few people in the A-League are going to be cheesed off if it turns out Viddy did this to gee-up his troops.<BR/><BR/>he has just given ammunition to Adelaide's AFl community - who had been running scared.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598217628490483035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625853433708059573.post-71664890478128563112009-02-16T19:29:00.000+10:302009-02-16T19:29:00.000+10:30Love the new name for your site BillLove the new name for your site Billjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598217628490483035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625853433708059573.post-67773478033585269682009-02-16T14:39:00.000+10:302009-02-16T14:39:00.000+10:30Bill, I am heartened that you will renew your Adel...Bill, I am heartened that you will renew your Adelaide United membership next year.<BR/><BR/>I've known of Melbourne Victory supporters that after Melbourne's poor season 3 didn't renew and stopped going to the matches.<BR/><BR/>Supporting your team through the highs and the lows it's what being a fan is all about!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625853433708059573.post-87443295586295138552009-02-16T11:47:00.000+10:302009-02-16T11:47:00.000+10:30Good on Vidmar.

He obviously loves the game, the club and just wants the team to perform better.<BR/><BR/>While it may not have been the most appropriate way to get things changed for the better, at least he is doing something. I don't believe for a minute that it was his only attempt to get through to people, as he said it has been going on for weeks. Things have obviously changed between the last two performances and those in the Asian Champions League. We look like two completely different teams.<BR/><BR/>If you put things into perspective and think globally, Football in Australia, while improving, is currently piss-weak. In the context I am not offended by Vidmar's 'piss-ant-town' comment. Adelaide is small, Adelaide United is even smaller. It's just how things are and thinking anything different will only delude yourself. It would be very easy for players to get too big for their boots. The players are probably getting interest from other clubs during the recruiting season. People looking to move up in the football world will be thinking of themselves rather than the team.<BR/><BR/>As for the game:<BR/>I really don't care about the result. We were never going to beat Victory at home with nothing on the line. I just hope that the team regroups and performs well in the remaining games. Perhaps it was the wake up call we needed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625853433708059573.post-65863324867954840142009-02-15T18:16:00.000+10:302009-02-15T18:16:00.000+10:30Hi BillI feel for the fans of Adelaide United.I do...Hi Bill<BR/><BR/>I feel for the fans of Adelaide United.<BR/><BR/>I don't really understand what is going on inside the club. I don't understand why the pain for Adelaide United and its coaches - perhaps the top performing club in Australian sport - makes these community leaders feel that they have the right to... to what? Behave like they can't get beaten?<BR/><BR/>My concern - I think I share it with you - is that Adelaide will now come back and win the Grand Final and believe the damage done to the sport by Dodd and Vidmar - the lack of respect they have shown to a better team - was justified.<BR/><BR/>According to Fox Sports the name calling and bitterness between the players of both teams was appalling last night.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598217628490483035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625853433708059573.post-8456961167226866852009-02-15T14:53:00.000+10:302009-02-15T14:53:00.000+10:30Bring back Agostino!Bring back Agostino!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
