Garuccio and guardiola looking like great additions. So goo to see so many young local players

Unlike brisbane. And many other clubs who fill their bench with highly paid foreigners and old matt simon like aussies ☺

Sometimes you have to look back to move and progress forward ....

In society today for children or let's define it better " soccer children" there is no longer a " free play" society or born to play concept as we grew up,

See ya mum , where are you off to? The park mum we are kicking a ball with my friends. That what happened in my day.

This does not happen today too much over protection of children which restricts them from "free play" to develope natural sporting muscles and street soccer skills as our day.

This is why football or soccer is what it is today.

Just get the next has been import instead of a local player who is perceived to be not up to scratch.

absolutely agree. that is exactly where it has all gone. when I was a kid we kicked balls of all sizes anywhere from dawn to dusk,even golf balls. never a grapefruit like pele did. we would have shared it. sometimes 30 a side in a concrete school playground with a bloody tennis ball. if you had been daft enough to dive in those games it would have been your own funeral and if you were stupid enough to grab a shirt all you would have done was start a punch up. it wasn't football so it never happened then. GOOD DAYS. SIGH.

Thanks Orackle.

In ozz what we are breeding in the modern world of children staying in doors playing PlayStation and not experiencing enough outside playtime is an over protected soft society that reflects on the modern day sports park.

Old Master

Australian jobs will go in those sectors soon and we'll become the new peasants of the world, struggling to survive in our own country.


im no expert but if globalisation is so bad in terms of jobs, shouldn't the unemployment rate be much higher......smart economies can replace jobs lost in 1 industry with jobs created in another ie...mining/manufacturing have been replaced by the service/tourism/education etc

Use Australia as an example to this discussion.

What is happening in recent times ??

1/1/2017 Centrelink pension changes and asset test changes effecting today mostly post WW2 European migrants who have reached old age and when young built this country mostly from factory manufacturing jobs.

Today we have university educated sub continent etc migrants with mba's being let in who pick up jobs that are deemed low pay like casual, cleaning, driving taxis, driving trucks, driving courier vans, supermarket checkouts, petrol station work etc

In most cases doing two or three of these jobs to make a full time weekly wage.

Unemployment is not higher because the post ww2 migrants from Europe have retired on the age pension.

For the social security liability to he paid the Australian govt needs tax payers to pay tax to pay for it.
That is why we have the kind of migration fostered by the Govt today.

What this migration is doing is making many of the children of the post ww2 European migrants unemployable .
Many are well educated etc with university degrees but no work in ozz.

Cont......

The Australian Govt is fooling the population by saying get educated or upskilled because there is no work after doing so just a student debt.
You cannot lower your pride and get a lower skilled job because these jobs are given to newer migrants who do not complain.
These newer migrants are educated from their country but many of there tertiary qualifications are not recognised here.

All this is disgraceful and making the people at the top of the pyramid rich and lowering our standard of living here in Australia.

I have talked to a taxi driver recently who has a mba from another country who could not get a job within his qualification, so now a taxi driver. A sub continent university educated lady working at a supermarket check out because she could get a job with her university degree here.

The govt us fooling the country big time with these under stealth policies.

Australia's economy ....

1 Mining
2 Farming

My concern is the fake education economy?????
Who is this really benefiting ???

Because there are no jobs here after getting educated for the majority .

absolutely agree. john howard called us ordinary Australians and tried to bring back the master and servant era. what gave him the right to think of himself as extra ordinary. people around the world are sick of rich pollies making themselves richer still,all at our expense. hence the rise of trump and brexit. turnbull our pm,who hides his loot in the cayman islands and pays less tax than all of us,is a prime example of why the peasants are pist off bigtime. Pauline please come and save us and stop these idiots selling this country to other countries. ps im sure di<k smith would help. pps I know this is off topic but I was just replying to JD. cheers from the oracle.
