Two prime cuts of news meat for you to sample on from the weekend, which you probably won't hear anywhere else.
Firstly, young and often unfairly derided goalkeeper Mladen Tosic has been loaned out to Westgate Sindjelic in State League 1, where he'll get more senior game time as well as being away from the bright lights of the VPL. Westgate didn't get off to a great start on the weekend though, copping a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Kingston City. Anyway, good luck to the lad.
Secondly, apparently Japanese side Gamba Osaka will be training on Lakeside today or this evening in preparation for their Asian Champions League match on Wednesday. While watching the under 21s meekly succumb 1-0 to Green Gully, three Japanese (or at least very fluent Japanese speakers) took up a position alongside the fence next to me. After making my inquiries, found out one was a team official of Gamba Osaka, and that they would be training there. So good on the board for getting that done. Conversation also went towards my thoughts on the Victory, NSL/A-League history, asking me if I would be at the game (which included a rather meek attempt to wrestle a free ticket out of them), and so forth. Nice people. Told them to kill the Victory. I think they appreciated the sentiment.

A few notes on comments.
We've had a lot of fun over the years with my freewheeling comments policy, but all good things must come to an end. Therefore I will no longer be approving comments that contain personal abuse of any sort.
Still, if your post doesn't get approved straight away, it's probably because I haven't seen it yet.
As usual, publication of a comment does not mean endorsement of its content.
