prize for the first comment

ok, I'm conducting a little experiment....

I'm new to this blogging thing and I know that each blog is a very personal account of whats going on in that persons head. This obviously leads to posts about things that no-one cares about at all!

So, I'm putting a small challenge out....I'm offering a small prize of some sort of prize realted to Australia for the first person to post a comment on this blog.

Each month the dollar value will rise by $10 (aus) from today.

terrible terrible terrible

Leading for most of the game at home and then to lose it in 20 minutes!! Wednesday seemed to have 20 minutes of madness after a solid performance for most of the game. Derby went down to 10 men and we continued to push, throwing on 3 unfit strikers to get the winning goal only to be hit in extra time by a winning goal from Derby. We must improve, there is no excuse for a home defeat like this!

So what is the answer???

Do we have to get rid of Sturrock, I just don't think its as easy as this. I think we just have to wait, once all the strikers are back up to fitness we'll have a proper team that can challenge the others in the championship. Don't get me wrong, I don't think we'll be challenging for playoffs but I think, I like most other wednesdayites juts want middle table mediocrity this season.

unconvincing win for sydney fc

i thought I'd give Star City a go to watch the football and was disappointed in a number of ways. A poor performance and not a great venue. Sydney are desperately missing some key players. I don't think Carbone is the answer either. He'll sink Sydney into debt in the same way he did with Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford City. Sydney lost the league when they sold Yorke. Anyway, less of the doom and gloom. If Sydney don't win the a-league this year it wouldn't be a bad thing (can't believe i said that). For the good of the game in Australia we need healthy competition and Melbourne, QLD and Adelaide are all providing this.

back now....

well, after 4 posts way back in March, I'm now back and this time i mean business. I'm not exactly sure what type of business as I'm still not sure what my blog will be about. I reckon that the most successful blogs are the ones where you can see the passion of the writer come through. So i have a feeling this will morph into a blog about sport and media. Lets see how we go.....
