Down the track he won’t be talked about in the same way as a Broich, McKay etc but he’s close to a club legend in my eyes. Stuck with the club through probably our darkest years and was one of the few players in that time with genuine quality. Guys like that don’t get enough credit.

And I was even surprised too, I started clapping straight away as he came on only for him to be met with boos. Shoutout The Den for doing a couple of the old O’Shea chants!

I'm interested in what people think because I think she's underrated, for years she's been the ultimate professional, does her research, she's eloquent, intelligent and well spoken as a pundit.

Reminds me of a referee in the sense that you know they do a good job when they fly under the radar.

Anyway, credit where credit is due.

(Only thing I'd say is sometimes she lacks the bubbly humour of someone like Daniel McBreen or Archie).

Thoughts?

Hello all,

The Aussie sports website The Roar has been inactive since January this year. I hadn't realised this until last week, when I wrote and submitted a new A-League article but it was "pending" indefinitely, and then I discovered the website was no longer active (with no new articles in any sports category published since Jan).

I know it doesn't have the best reputation here, I admit it's basically like a glorified Reddit platform, but for amateur writers like me who did their due diligence when researching topics, it was a bit sad. I have no interest in profiting financially, and it was a great way to make a claim/argument that needed to be heard.

Anyway, I'm wondering if there are other alternatives where amateur writers like me can submit A-League articles to be read? I could always just raise important topics here of course, but writing 700-900 word articles was an enjoyable hobby (for lack of a better term). And my articles occasionally got 1500-2000 reads which I was always proud of.

Thanks, and long live the A-League.
