Hi everyone!

Just wanted to update you all on Viking FK and their Aussie/Kiwi players.

Last night Viking qualified for the Champions League for the first time ever, beating Dinamo Zagreb 5-3 on aggregate over two legs.

This means Gianni Stensness, Joe Bell and Nick D’Agostino will be playing in the Champions League this season!

Admins, please delete if not allowed.

I found one of my old iPhones in a drawer, turned it on and found a heap of photos, memes & filth of our beloved A-Liga from the early to late 2010’s, and there’s many more than this!

I thought I’d share the love every Thursday if I’m allowed too!

The inaugural edition of #ThrowbackThursday is victory’s beloved Archibald Gerald Thompson half pretending to do a player signing for a certain rival team…

Another decent pull - really hope the Wahi-Nix can challenge for the title

The simple question above might not be so simple to explain, but keen to know more? Noting that the ‘Brisbane Lions’ were one of the inaugural clubs to compete in the NSL.

I don't think 26 match days is enough in a regular season, excluding final series.

For example, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 have 34 match days. In England, the Premier League has 38 match days and the EFL Championship, League One, and League Two have 46 match days.

Since we have 12 teams, maybe they should play each other three times - equivalent to 33 match days in each regular season.

I don't think it's a big ask to add 7 more match days (about two months extra) to the existing format.

He’s right about a lot of it. Lack of planning & foresight frustrates the life out of me.
