I have an irrational hatred of the Scum, which is much the same thing I suppose. Although what they did in Newcastle to get the NSL franchise was a 1,000 times more disgusting and unprofessional than what Aloi$i did.
I'm just not convinced that the punishment fits the crime in Aloi$i's case. As Keensy says, I can just ignore this thread.
I have to laugh at the last comment Keensy said though, about Aloi$i could have shown some class. That could apply equally to some of the extreme posts in this thread too! But with my occasionally irrational posts about the Scum, it's a bit of Pot-Kettle-Black all round, so I'll leave it at that.
What did they do in Newie to get the NSL team???
If things were handled with a bit more thought and respect, the Breakers would have continued their long tradition in the top flight. But no, a lot of underhanded dealings saw the franchise taken off the Breakers and given to Con Constantine so he could create his cardboard Club from his mobile phone and car (his cronies words).
The Breakers lost everything - the players, the staff, the stadium, the licenced club. A lot of businesses lost big money, and many people lost their jobs.
Many of the vocal supporters walked away in disgust at what happened. A lot have never returned to football, others now follow the Mariners.
Played a couple of rep games at their old stadium (I think its a dog track now?)....... they were the days....
