    I’ve always hated this kind of shit, I know it’s only one match but it’s bullshit. How is it the Italian league being played in fucking Australia. Want to reach out to fans in Australia? Play an exhibition match in the off season
    It's more meaningful if it's a competitive game, like the NFL games here.
    It's a pretty blatant money-grab and marketing opportunity, but that's not news in the modern game.

    More meaningful?

    Don’t blame us because no one outside of Australia is remotely interested in Aussie Rules football. But they’ve got their own shit, greedy antepodeans

    My problem with the idea of playing league games abroad is that you can’t maintain the integrity of playing home and away. Unless you do the return fixture abroad too but that seems very unlikely.

    That’s not my only problem with it, but it’s definitely one of my problems

    Well, yeah. It’s a competitive game. Are you more bothered about league games during the season or preseason friendlies. I’m not saying this is a good idea…unless they’re trying to generate as much money as possible. Which they are.

    MO’s point makes sense, but since when to clubs care about integrity when there’s money to be made?

    I’m not disagreeing with you


    I’m saying fuck what’s more meaningful. They should consider themselves lucky if they get to watch them play friendly games

    the trouble is the Kroenkes will I'm sure be among those pushing for a PL game or two in the US, to make $$

    and if they want it to be successful then it means a big game, e.g. Liverpool or Citeh which would be disgraceful for home fans to miss it

    They're always going on about players needing rest no doubt having to play a few games in a different time zone won't do them much good.

    Palace demoted to the Conference League, while Forest are bumped up to the EL.

    Punished because they can’t play in the same competition as Lyon who have the same owner.
