Never Say Die

How much longer does the RBB keep at it before possibly ending up like the Melbourne Victory’s now ‘defunct’ North Terrace? Granted they were active for more than twelve years before overbearing police and security, club officials failing to come to agreements and understandings with the active group and hardships from the FFA had them […]

Follow Nick on Twitter. When you’ve just been beaten by your city rival you can say there was no determination and pride. When it’s to a team that is flying in the league you can sometimes put your hand up and concede that you were beaten by a better team, one that is in fine […]

Photo by Eric Berry (Efcso) VARy Good After last weeks game I wrote an article on the VAR backlash which discusses how fans and pundits are over the use of VAR, and, while it hasn’t been scrapped, it looks to be heavily reduced. Personally, I hate the bloody thing. It makes me cringe. Word is […]
