tv – The Lateral Hazard

It didn’t take long for the grubs in the media and squawking talking heads to get a knife into our Matilda’s over a friendly.

So let’s look at the landscape here in laymans terms so their will be no mistake on how these bozo’s “The Commentary Gentry” have got their shirt without performance.

Unlike the Matilda’s Babes who are our future and should be celebrated by achieving national representatives regardless of any friendly result 4 years out of the big gig our Media Mongrels decide to gain their shirt by seizing the opportunity to knife the coach or reputations of these kids so early in their careers.

Let’s look at the critics form. who is Slater, those stooges who set themselves up as authorities on Football in Australia??

What have they achieved, played in England maybe, sniffed a bit of coke , and I could go on with the misdemeanours as I am old enough to remember, but one thing is certain, they are failures on the international stage, every single one of them as we have No Stars On Our National Shirt.. None Zero.
Yet they celebrate themselves with “the older I get the better I was” mantra

Then comes the audacity they promote by hating any international appointee that could expose any comparison of our Football business to nations who have won World Cups as whats left of their credentials would be trashed once people woke up.

Hiddick to his credit lifted the Socceroos on a temporary platform then bolted the day after his contract expired, then the rest of any appointments were systematically white anted by these serial losers for decades, destroying our international status that continues to this day, while stymieing youth by their cynicism and toxic incompetence, aptly demonstrated by their reaction to a simple friendly.

Then come the keyboard warriors who write the copy without any Football IQ whatsoever.
In fact name one commentator, talking head, or keyboard critic who have coached at any level????

I’m hearing crickets all over the septic tank …. Not Fucken One but they have opinions on how it should be done.. Sure they have opinions, and I have an opinion on nuclear science or brain surgery but I’d be out of my depth.

These wankers think they are self appointed judges of Football with actually no experience on how real powerhouses of the game win World Cups, and they don’t want to know either, as it’s beyond their intellectual capacity to even think how players reach World Cup levels then actually Win.

Oh FFS, we in Australian TV and Broad sheets celebrate getting flogged in world cups. We even extend their contracts, not after one failure but involvement in multiple failures, because they are mates of the media and that cosy relationship keeps them all in jobs, and stuff the football, that’s irrelevant, yet these slimes attack our potential players that who would take us higher than any of their wanna be careers they desperately cling to.

If our.coaches were any good they would be head hunted… Their Not Not One BUT Ange Postagolas has reached a level in 4 countries but was lambasted by the numb nuts here out of pure animosity when he told them all they were idiots on the record and that statement proved correct after that friendly and nothings changed.

They do not have the purchase to criticise as they all failed at the top level, so bottom line is if we do not have intellectual capacity to accept advice, management structures-from Clubs and Nations that have those stars on their national shirts we will be all just dreaming and procrastinating..

And secondly we have to tear ourselves away from the colonialism of brainwashing our kids into thinking England is the only league with history. They jagged it once when Europe was in recovery from Cold War and will never win a World Cup while the money launderers own their game and soul. They haven’t woke up and live in a fantasy land created by the TV rights and advertisers as they do it here,and like us they actually believe the yank franchising model is great, little do they know it’s for the owners while the punters in the stands are the suckers and the media talking heads are paid to indoctrinate you into keeping it that way..

Yes I’m pissed off again..and have a very long memory..

And for the record, back in the time when coaching certificates in Brisbane were given out like bus tickets to poms and Aussie coaches had to pass a course, I rejected that culture and based my education on my workmates who were migrants from all over the world entering Australia from Yungabar hostel and working the Shipyard.

Language was never a problem as football was opening for me and to them, the English language. Their knowledge willingly imparted over that time and was far ahead anything our country could imagine at a time when Soccer was Sir Stanley Mathew’s and the English only please.

I was blessed with having the privilege to work with youth and adults who loved the game as much as me, and as in football the journey is a never ending learning curve for all if you are prepared to a listen, and keep a open mind to the science.

The Game is Simple, Only people complicate it.

Dannielle Fords “Cutting Umpires Slack” article (See Below) should be read and digested by not only the arm chair warriors but the men behind the microphones and front the cameras and the scribes who present themselves as keepers of all knowledge on sport.

Anyone who has refereed sport experiences critical analysis for decisions that occur within tenths of a second and now we see the media gaggle question the Video Assist because it exposes infringements too well or or takes too long.

The VAR systems is accepted as the normal in European sport and unfortunately we Australians are yet to embrace it as this nations downgraded NBN speeds delays swift decision.

For instance in Bundesliga the centre in Cologne can monitor up to 5 matches at one once and have a decision expectation via 19-21 cameras on each ground within 26 seconds unless a on field intervention is required., Australia one per ground at snail mail speed., so when the squarkers in suits whinge they should be asking the question why do we in Australia are incapable of delivering the technology accepted as the norm overseas.

This is a classic example of when near enough is not good enough and our politicians felt our 55th place in the world in internet speed was acceptable for them I assure them running 55th when our sporting standards is effected just doesn’t cut it with the masses.

To many of us particularly those with kids in sport cringe when we see gambling and alcohol adverts during major sporting broadcasts.

We have seen the clear evidence where betting has corrupted players, officials and entire codes so why are my alarm bells ringing when I read News Corp are signing off with a mega deal with a major world wide betting conglomerate when they have subsidiary companies running and influencing AFL and NRL codes.

These codes have been plagued with controversy with betting, drug and salary capping , match fixing issues in the past and this move will do nothing to cleaning up the reputations of these codes and officials who are trying desperately to put out fires and clean up their act.

Yes business is business and News Corp sinking share in the marketplace in core news has to be supplemented in other ways but the marriage of sports that set influence on our kids values and link that to gambling is not socially nor morally acceptable

It’s quite clear women’s equality has still away to go in Australia be it in the workplace or the Sporting arena.The Channel 9 bean counters have decided the Australian Women’s Test is not commercially viable to broadcast on television so again women’s sport is treated as second class.

This Australian Women’s team is outperforming its male counterparts in the green and gold on the world stage consistently, while our Australian Men’s team fall from a Icon every Australian knew, to a team nobody knows what game their playing let alone a Test.

If Channel 9 can’t or won’t deliver coverage their contract to the game should be terminated or we have to ask why they were given the contract knowing selective coverage only was involved and was the Australian Cricket Board agreeable to that segregated coverage?

The decision of selling broadcast rights should not include the games soul as we have seen other sports give up their soul and bend to rule changes to accommodate advertising which eventually overshadows the actual sporting spectacle.

Try telling supporters in nations like Germany, England and other European countries they can’t watch their national teams play be it men or women in any sport that tv outlet would be broke within a week as advertisers would desert for their own survival as they have the broadband network competition and capacity available to free to air and pay.

Let’s start by getting our Sporting Souls back and not talk about our NBN.
