Canberra Media Anti-Football Award Nominee

So the morning news goes:

1. Rugby League> Wayne Bennett leaving Canberra Raiders Coach is NOT taking over the Broncos. Big story that one.

2. Rugby Union: Brumbies Coach Laurie Fisher will meet New Wallabies Coach Robbie Deans...massive story.

3. The score from the cricket game between India and Sri Lanka, not an Aussie in sight oh and throw in the England score as the whole town is just waiting for that one.....

4. Socceroos. Finally some comment from Pim Verbeek, Talk up the game? You're joking. No mention of the sold-out crowd, no mention of Nikolai, the Canberran to make his first squad.

But then again, Nikolai doesn't play Union or League, and clearly doesn't deserved to be mentioned or even head the bulletin.

And no-one plays football in Canberra so why mention the Socceroos first on a day like today. Only 16,000 registrations, more than the other three codes COMBINED, not to mention the interest of the Socceroos on the streets of Canberra v the Wallabies at the last World Cups.

Unfair? Feel free to come in to the Nearpost radio show and discuss it anytime:)
