Mmmmm I am impressed.
Great points. Now there is no doubting your passion for the blue and white. Hec, many of us have lived the Olympic life as you know we saw so many faces across so many Australian cities for so many years,
Yes we were fucked over by the FFA and Frank Blowey Job. Had they done it through promotion and relegation, it wouldn't have hurt so much. But the bastards went and hijacked a league with FIFA's blessing, while the FIFA banners flash: "SAY NO TO RACISM.
You are right, I am proud of this club and its origins. But it is the club for everyone, not just Greek-Australians...OLYMPIC is BIGGER THAN GREECE, bigger than Sydney, for me it IS FOOTBALL.
The FFA has imposed a $3,000 cap on transfers paid to state league teams for players they have developed. I cannot understand how this is allowed to take place... THIS IS COMMUNISM. A COMMUNIST act. How can this be allowed to exist and adhered to in our free society?
As for your lap, maybe your eyesight ain't what it use to be... Nah i saw about ten or so of the 'old crew' that I haven't seen since Perth and was told that there were several others that I did not see, including you now...
There were Orange Peelers there, and Gavin was there last week, and Time keepers and analysts and Tolis and so on and so on.... And, what pissed me off about Cockeril's article was that he needed an angle and while trying to give us a plug tried to confine us to overseas=team lovers with his Olympiakos shirts comments. What I saw were a variety of old school Olympic scarves, Olympic shirts (even the yellow UTS one made an appearance). I saw SYDNEY OLYMPIC! Yesterday i was a little sad thinking this might be a one off... I thought it might be a trip down memory lane... although it was that, today i have a fire deep down, one that can't help to think that together we can all do something... what that is i don;t know... but until then(and until it is a level playing field as you say) , i want the A league teams especially HAKOA to fail and melt like the poluted plastic that they are ... they should be ashamed a whole city of fans to themselves and they can;t even get a decent crowd....
I have no idea what i have just said cause i'm getting tired early tonight, but I am heartened by your comments, your presence, the presence of all those yesterday...
The Paramithi will never end.
Sydney Olympic is forever.
