Australian parents are not happy John!
Talking to Parents at the local football oval this morning and the mood is not good!
"Ben wants to be a Socceroo."
"Yeah I'm gonna play for Australia,"says Ben in his Socceroo top.
He moves away and does a few step overs and such.
"Hey the Socceroos aren't on telly tonight. They are on Fox. As if I'm gonna take him to the pub, besides we have to leave at 9pm as he's too young."
"Who do I write to? It's just wrong."
And the Asia Cup?
"Is that on Fox as well?"
Four different parents in a matter of moments. All with kids, all football players, and passionate Australian fans.Helen Coonan might think she's sorted it, but the mum's and dad's of Australia, the battlers are not happy John.
You just don't get it do you. This is the the most popular national team bar maybe and only a maybe, the cricket team.Would you see them taken off Free-To-Air?
John, you better fix it as last time I looked you had a few problems in the polls. Imagine if Australia win the Asian Cup. You thought your ratings were bad now!
What are you going to do for the battlers John Howard?
Tell us what you think about the Australian team playing Asia Cup games at 7;30 at night AEST only on Fox?

Absolutely. Fox might have big cheques, but it is strangling the audience.
And apparently (so far - I'm still trying) I can't follow the Matildas vs Pyongyang game tonight at all - not even with a lame internet 'live update' gig. Wtf!
Thanks for this blog Eamonn. I'll add you as a link to Football Down Under. A bit of writer's block has stopped me posting for a bit, maybe with just too much happening, but I'll get back to it.
