Accordingly to Alan Jones on the audio Timmy will sue the Terror .... I am wondering given it was the weekend if the accountant was called... Timmy if his imagine is damaged could sue for millions.. it could be a very very very expensive article...

I've got no problem with reporting on Footballers if they behave badly in public with anti-social behavior but this is a ridiculous attempt to bring Footballers to the same level as the knuckle draggers social behavior.

It's obvious to all that the Telegraph have mounted a campaign in the last week to amp up it's hate on Football. Funny how it has coincided with the WC qualfier the other day and the WC launch.

I long for the day that we don't have to put up with the outright bigotry, hatred and discrimination we've been subjected to for years. The sad thing is they are able to print this absolute rubbish and get away with it.

To my utter disbelief, the popular view on these forums has been to rubbish SBS when they have done more to champion our beautiful game more than any other medium in Australia for more than twenty years. They have promoted our game when nobody cared and continue to do so.

The past week reminded me of an article Les Mrray wrote in November 2005 not long after Johnny Warren's death with reference to a News Ltd journalist. The more thigs change...

Last week, just four days after Johnny?s death, Ray Chesterton wrote in the Sydney Daily Telegraph: ?Soccer?s failure is cultural. It wants to impose world thinking on Australia without acknowledging this is a unique country with established sporting traditions. Soccer in Australia should be called abandon all hope.?

Chesterton wrote this because he knows he?s one of the last of a dying breed, a lame dinosaur threshing about in desperation to reverse the inevitable. Thankfully there are not many of him left.

Johnny Warren is dead and Ray Chesterton is very much alive. But it is to Johnny that the future belongs.

I've no issue with SBS promoting football at all, they do a fine job - it's just the manner in which they go about particular things (i.e.  their general bitterness towards the A-League and the Socceroos, which only kicked in AFTER they lost the rights to broadcast 'Roos games) that irks many on here.

However, I love this quote from that article you linked to:

"...the game was a source of awakening. 'It awakened the world citizen inside me,' he says, at a time when Australia, much more than now, was an isolated pimple on the globe, content to subsist on its own eco-system of ignorance and suburban mediocrity."

Having been taken to some backward (Brisbane), random (Chula University, Bangkok) psychotic (Rome), welcoming (Japan), and truly bizarre (Beijing and Tianjin) places by my love of football, I can say that that quote is nothing but 200% truth. And that is something Limited News and the likes of Chesterton, Rothfield et. al. will never understand.  Quite frankly, it's their loss.

He is the 2GB web page the audio can be heard on ... anyone know how to copy this so it does not get lost over time. Look for the Socceroo picture

Personaly, I think Jones is a weasel,but damn that was good

Soccer bashing stories have made it on before. Ones from the adelaide papers come to mind.

Chesterton is a total c**t, but thankfully a known dinosaur.

Agreed. While I reckon he's done a good job here, it is indeed a little bit 'pot-kettle-black'!

Much as I dislike Jones, he was outstanding here. Nailed that prick from the Sunday Tele.

Love it

Its a pretty big fish, that which seems like false reporting, to drive a related organisations agenda.

+1.

I hope Cahill gets told by his legal people that he has a good case and sues the involved journos and Breen into bankruptcy. Seems a very shoddy bit of work rushing the story to the headlines by the looks of it all.

Any audio link for this, for those who had to work? Couldn't see it on the ABC website (although it has a lot of links etc. so maybe it's there?)
