Looks like the Greek national team will be training at South Melbourne's ground.
 We had a 4-1 win over the Italian poofs Bulleen last night. Back in the top 6, with our next game away to Frankston. AHAHAHHA staggering scenes expected, like last year. |

The Victorian Premier League (VPL) is the highest State level football (soccer) competition in Victoria, Australia. It is conducted by the Football Federation Victoria, the state's football (soccer) governing body.
Following the end of the National Soccer League (NSL) in 2004, former Victorian NSL teams Melbourne Knights and South Melbourne now play in the VPL. The league received a major boost at the start of the 2005 season when Vodafone became major naming rights sponsors. The 2006 competition, which kicked off on February 3, will be known as the Vodafone Cup. [edit] Media Coverage  Coverage of The Vodafone Cup is provided by the local non-profit community televsion station, Channel 31 Melbourne on The Victorian Football Show. Live calls of games are also occasionally broadcast on sports radio station SEN 1116. [edit] 2005 Table P Team Pts

O'Neill reveals why he quit
August 29, 2006 12:00 Article from:  JOHN O'Neill has publicly confirmed his decision to quit as the boss of Australian soccer after it was revealed by The Daily Telegraph earlier today. "On the one hand, my involvement with football has been an exhilarating ride and while we've achieved so much, the potential to take the game even further is enormous," said O'Neill who in June oversaw Australia's first World Cup campaign in 32 years. "But with our rapid progress has come an incredibly intensive and demanding workload and that creates a lot of pressure on personal time and family life. "An additional consideration is the fact that I've been at the top level of sports administration for 12 years now, and I'd like to think about what is possible in other fields of endeavour." O'Neill took over Australian soccer's top job amid sweeping changes for the sport, with the debt-ridden Soccer Australia wound up and a new governing body formed. Soccer supremo Frank Lowy said he had asked O'Neill to consider an ongoing role with New Football after next March. "I would like to think that John's expertise and experience won't be lost to us entirely, and he has indicated that he is happy to continue to make a contribution to the game in some form," he said. O'Neill's resignation came after a meeting with Lowy, as The Telegraph revealed earlier today. At the meeting O'Neill told Lowy he would be stepping aside. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegrap...001021,00.html AHHAHAHAHA good riddance you fucking racist cunt. Get fucked and go back to rugby, piece of shit Slowly slowly everything is falling into place. |

I already posted whats going on you dopey prick. Anyway it looks like the name will stay but the cunts might change the colours - I can live with that, but I still can't see why they want to change anything apart from buying some decent players, spending some money on marketing, and pulling their heads out of their arses. It seems as though Stan is heavily involved in buying the club (beware Robby Slater doing his dough a few years ago) but apart from the odd slip up on radio and a few quick backtracks, he's not admiting to anything. I just wish the pricks would get it sorted and we can get on with playing Football and get back to the top of the league. The good thing is we got a point over the Blingers and their pommy coach last week. |

In all seriousness what is shitting me about the A-League is they
1) Are trying to rid themselves of EVERYTHING to do with the old NSL, this includes Glory's 'soul' if you will. 2) Have NO youth structure in place and instead are happy for the clubs to blow their budgets bringing in overpriced and hack guest players. Ok fair enough if Romario comes out, he's an absolute legend of world football, but the others? Give me a fucking break. The NSL had better guest players too - Beardsley, Ian Rush, Kevin Keegan, George Best, Malcolm McDonald. They shit all over Carbone and whoever else has come out here. At least in the NSL they had the National Youth League for the young boys. And in the state leagues here every club must have a seniors and under 21s team competing. The best players of the U21s obviously get promoted to the seniors. But then what happens - A-League clubs come and steal these guys, giving these clubs fuck all in return, and get the guys sitting on the pine without playing! Fucking joke. It says alot about the playing standard of the A-League when the undisputed top team of the league in the Melbourne Victory has the entire Melbourne Knights defence (bar the keepers) who played the final few years of the NSL. And where did the Knights finish those years, nowhere near the top 6! I'm glad that many of the Glory people are waking up and realising the NSL wasn't as bad as made out to be, and now can understand the frustration supporters of South, Sydney United, etc have to face regarding the FFA and their fascist attitude. |

Ferenc Puskas: The Passing of a Legend.
 The South Melbourne Football Club family is immensely saddened by the passing of a world footballing legend that had a special connection with the club it coached to one of it’s finest moments. Ferenc Puskas will forever be fondly remembered at South Melbourne for leading the club to its second national championship in 1991. The legendary Hungarian striker, who is considered one of the greatest ever players to grace the world game, he scored 83 goals in 84 internationals for Hungary, not to mention one of Real Madrid’s favorites sons, had an amazing impact down at Middle Park. So awe-inspired were the South Melbourne players at the time that from day one they called the legendary man “Boss”. His clout in the footballing landscape was so deep that upon being approached by the South President at the time, in regards to trouble with signing two “Juventus” players, Puskas assured the President that his relations with the staff of Serie A giants Juventus were excellent and as a result he could help achieve the transfer, of course, the President was referring to players from “Brunswick Juventus”, not the grand old lady and footballing giant of Italian football. Puskas was notorious for being superb at man management and allowing his players to enjoy themselves on the park. His influence and legacy at South Melbourne, will forever be remembered and appreciated by the South Melbourne family who were extremely privileged to be graced by the presence of a football immortal. ----------------- What a quality story about him going to ring the Italian Juventus president instead of the Brunswick Juventus one. Just goes to show what high esteem he is held in and what powerful connections he had in world football, and how incredibly lucky we were to have him as a coach for 3 years! Apparently even the Hellas assistant coach at the time Jimmy Pyrgolios referred to him as "Mr Puskas". What a legend, RIP |
