That PSG match is so random. I wonder how much coin if any we are getting out of it

23

I’ve been subscribed to a calendar for 10+ years that has all Sydney’s A-League fixtures, but doesn’t include pre-season, FFA Cup or ACL matches. Does anyone have any idea where that one comes from, or whether there’s another one I can subscribe to that would cover all bases?

I know this isn’t quite the thread for it but the fixture list above just prompted me to ask.

24

I’ve been subscribed to the same one for years as well.
It’s always annoyed me that it’s aleague games only.

25

How can I subscribe to this please?

26

I have three links. Two are from Ultimate A-League and the other looks like it was done by someone on SFCU. I’m not sure which ones are actually still active, but at least one of them is because the fixtures appear year after year.

I’m wondering if we’ll see a captain announcement before the first friendly against Dunbar - surely Wilko will take the armband?

28

Yeah surely wilko and Ninkovic as vice
Wonder if we try offer Branners a leadership role to try entice another season

Good news as our game against PSG will be broadcast on BeIN.

Keen as for the Wolves game, I’ve actually got the day off so I might head down early and get on the sauce around town!

For the Townsville Cup?

Apparently that was the original plan but PSG pulled out when they found out that they wouldn’t be the most hated team there.

Announcing our captain at the Dunbar game tomorrow. Would strongly assume its Wilko. Vice captain probably Ninkovic.

37

Yeah Wilko is absolutely nailed on.

Milos has never struck me as someone with the sort of leadership we need for that type of position. He’s often pretty quiet on the pitch. I wonder if maybe someone like Zullo would be a better fit? Grant is the only other one but again I wonder if he is a bit too chilled out.

38

Milos is more the lead by example type. He wore the armband when Brosque and Wilko were both off. If not I think ALF rather than Zullo or Grant.

39

Ignoring the noise about him leaving, and focusing on his two year deal I’d like to see branners get the armband. Wilko is a leader but is nearing the end of his career & i’d prefer to prepare for the future

Very unlikely but any idea if there might be a stream around for those who cant catch it tomorrow?
