This thread kinda cheers me up I'll be real, some of the takes are legit hilarious, I suppose when people reach desperation levels they resort to anything.
The Australians were a little bit prejudiced so Greek families changed their names.
To be fair Postekos still sounds pretty greek to me!
Something tells me his family weren’t quite able to go full Aussie and change their names to Posta. Or Postogue
2 great Aussie type names there.
Ridiculous. Inept officiating. So you cant say in a polite way the ref was sub standard. Then a day later another ref makes calls a decision that was similar to our match. I like to simplify things. The refs and VAR were shit in our game and they know it. So now they come down hard on our manager. It's like buying a product that you like and is real value for money then slag off the supplier and person who delivered it. Illogical and nonsense by FA. The clue is there though......FA!

Ange Postecoglou is reportedly facing an FA probe over his comments following Tottenham's 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle.
Spurs continued their poor form as they suffered a 10th league defeat of the season and Postecoglou was left aggrieved by some of referee Andrew Madley's decisions.
His sense of injustice revolved around Newcastle's first goal, an equaliser scored by Anthony Gordon after the ball clearly struck Joelinton on the hand as he blocked a pass.
Referee Madley did not see an offence and it was not overruled by the VAR Chris Kavanagh because Joelinton's hand was in a natural position and the contact was ruled to be accidental.
Postecoglou said after the game: 'On the balance of play, any balance you want with all things being equal, we would have won today. Things weren't equal and balanced.'
When pushed by the reporter on what decisions he particularly disagreed with, the 59-year-old lashed out.
'You can talk about whatever you want,' he said. 'You want my opinion - if all things were equal and balanced we would have won.'
As reported by the Mirror, Postecoglou could be in trouble, though managers are allowed to express opinions on referees and decisions if they don't hint at bias or question an official's integrity.
The FA have not launched a full investigation yet but want to know what Postecoglou meant with his comments.
If the Australian admits his comments were directed at the referee, he could face a touchline ban or a fined.
Tottenham were incensed when a foul was awarded against Dan Burn for a similar handball offence as the game escaped them. Alexander Isak scored Newcastle's winner.
I'm still lost as to whyAussieYiddo said it was so offensive.
I thought Aussies were the most easy going folks on the planet. And they can say anything and it's not offensive.
It does make you wonder how some people manage to function on a day-to-day basis!People are legit speaking so much shit in here it's pathetic, they can get away with it because no-one's going to hold them to account, some of the takes are pretty embarrassing TBH
Well the last couple of years have proven that’s not the case!!
Unless Ange is the least affable Aussie in the world and the exception rather than the norm.
Let's not let facts or evidence get in the way of their opinion of their own people.
Mate.

“People”.
When you take into account that up to 50% of internet traffic and content is being produced by bots it’s very clear these “people” don’t have to function day to day.
Appears they can’t even work out the difference between buses, bridges and motorbikes.
Stupid robots!!
We are safe for a few years yet.
It's playground football tbh. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Just get forward and score as many as possible. Attack spaces, positions are fluid. Surprised we haven't tried rush keepers yet.
Austin was almost on the Halfway Line on Saturday.

Guess they use this thread to vent
It reminds me of in Succession where they put the useless guy in charge of the cruise ship etc and then they work their way up to the top through being right place right time and scratching the right backs.
Munn shouldn’t be anywhere near our club. It’s mad that he is involved at all. He doesn’t even seem to be doing the job of catching levy’s flack that he was probably partially brought in to cop. Surely levy has to see through that and he will go along with Ange. I’m hoping paratici still has levy’s ear enough that he will sort things out and be brought back in despite all his problems (when they are all over).

We know how you function..
Given that Fabio is at damn near every home game this is bound to happen.
Lange will remain as technical director, with Fabio above him as head of football. That's my guess.
Is Munn the reason Ange hasn't been sacked yet?
Aussie love in and total lack of knowing when one or the other is massively out of their depth?
I can’t remember what clouds are over paratici at the moment or when they will part but that sounds sensible. He’s a man who has worked in European football for years. If not him then another experienced director of football who will bring in another manager. With them both aligning with the football we want to play. I’m sure no other clubs make it all as hard as we like to. But it’s levy and he is absolutely useless at these appointments so I expect he will.
The ban is for 30 months and the verdict was delivered on March 8 2023 if I am reading things right.
So he should be able to assume his full duties in October this year.
His lawyers did manage to ease the restrictions in his ban. He is allowed to do administrative work for the club. But he's not allowed in dressing rooms or to handle transfers. But that explains why he is still around. He's currently some form of consultant for Levy.
Fast forward to October and the Don is damn near guaranteed to resume power.
I'm still lost as to why
While calling a fellow poster an ‘absolute tosser’?
