2014 AFC Champions League

[tsd]

when mossy saw the ACL draw, this would have been the game earmarked as the best chance for a win. It will be no walk in the park but id say after last fortnights away game to these guys that were in with a really good chance.

All the best to CCM and its supporters in tomorrow night's ACL game.

Our three Australian clubs' participation in this year's competition has seen the old rivalry set aside for the common national good of our football.

There will be lots of WSW/RBB travelling fans in Japan staying on to 'support' MV on Wednesday - hopefully that will be after we get a result tomorrow night against Kawasaki, which will be very tough to back up esp after you guys finished us off on the weekend in the HAL!

Good luck to the DriveByes

Great to have you in Gosford. For me a CCM v Drive Byes game is the best fixture of the season.

Can't wait for tomorrow night and should have 5 or 6 extras coming along.

One mate said he is only coming because they had Chinese on sale at the food outlets for the ACL game last season.....whatever gets em through the door!

 

[Elastico]

Who cares.

Is TB really going to upset our masses of Japenese members but calling them Japs?

I bring more non Anglos to the games than everyone apart from Kareem.

Loosen up Vic.

I am one of those members with Japanese lineage and I can tell you for certain "Jap" is offensive. I grew up on the coast and for the most part it was pretty great. However when somebody threw the word Jap around I can assure you it wasn't a term of affection and now matter how you try and ignore it, you think about it and it can gnaw inside of you. It's only a word but some words carry much more weight and meaning when on the other side of them and I think understanding and respecting that makes all the difference. I am not shouting 'racist' as I don't think most people who use the word are but I do want them to know that it does have an impact and hopefully they'll take this perspective on board when thinking about using it again.
Off the soapbox now -- let's win a game tomorrow!

Sorry to hear you will be hanging out with the Victory fans. Always knew the heavy handedness by the A League & cops was just a way of uniting MV & WSW.
Seriously though top stuff - I find it so strange cheering for the aussie teams because you want your team to do better then them but you still want Australia to be better than the others. Real heart mucker.

I too think the WSW/CCM game is the best of the season - Chatted to a bloke before the game & I said it's better than the jets & he said hard call cause we hate each other. True but how can you not love playing the team that you lost your virginity to.
