Friday Short Shorts.

Another week gone, and then your dead!


This blog got reviewed in MX. A paper which come out in Sydney Melbourne and Brisbane. See the full David McMahon review here. Nearpost blog review





2XX Community Radio in Canberra are thinking about a weekly football show in Canberra. Like to get involved. Production, presenter, announcer, interviewer. Email Football in the Capital for further details.





And of course news from Sydney FC





Sydney FC had a tough season last year. No trophies, and by the end no manager. But before he left Coach Terry Butcher was trying to improve morale once more.





On the Coach back from defeat in the A-League semi-final to Newcastle, Butcher organised a raffle. Socceroo star David Carney distributed all the tickets to the players and staff.





The mood was sour, but at least a Sydney player would win something this year.





Anyway, the draw was made, and you guessed it,





the Coach driver won.





Summed up the season really.





An oldie but a goodie:)





Mark Viduka to Newcastle. I'm still not happy. He only played for one huge club in his glittering career. Glasgow Celtic, oh alright I'm a Celtic fan.


I wanted to see him at Manchester United with Ronaldo and Rooney running off the Duke. Oh well at least his season will be shorter, Newcastle never get very far in Europe, if they get in at all.



Reading Sally Shipard's post yesterday about how to improve your skill. Practice practice and more practice. There is no short cut is there.





Football in the Capital will be interviewing Kaz Patafka next week, should be an interesting story.



We'll also be finding how out Carl Valeri is finding the training in Singapore.


Archie Thompson reckons Wellington Phoenix could make the four next season. With Ross Aloisi, Vince Lia and Michael Ferrante signed up they'll be the best New Zealand side yet. Great for the A-League.





Bottom club, I'm afraid it's looking like Newcastle with the depature of Paul Okon, one of Australia's finest players. Still plenty of time to recruit but with Nicky Carle and others gone, poor old Mark Bridge must be hugely disappointed.



Have a great weekend, thanks for the comments and views from all over the world. It's amazing where you are looking in from.





cheers

Great site, just discovered it recently. Just on Leo Bertos, he hasn't joined Wellington Phoenix -- still has a year left on his Perth contract I believe.
