Jose ‘Blue Vein’ Gorgonzola
Jose Gorgonzola or Blue Vein not unlike the cheese to some, a sheer delight and the essence of all that is good in life, to others, repulsive and disgusting often leaving a bitter after taste. A Diego, lover of football, friend to all, enemy of none but himself…..and I also like to refer to myself in the third person…….by the way I’ve been part of the team since 1993.
Melbourne Victory V Melbourne Heart?
I'm Excited but are we Ready for Melbourne Heart?
Let’s all admit that we are pretty excited about Version 6 of the A League and it’s all because of Melbourne Heart.
No matter who your allegiance is with, we cannot deny that the Heart have captured the imagination of every football and non football fan.
A true local derby is back on the cards for Melbourne and I’m excited. In the late 70’s Mark Hunter belted out the words “Are you old enough?” here in 2010 Jose Blue Vein Gorgonzola asks Melbourne “Are we big enough?”
Now I know the town is big enough to host two A-League teams, after all we are the sporting capital of Australia, but are we big enough to cope with the rivalry that will no doubt come with these two sides.
Up until now Melburnians have been spoilt by the lack of choice.
Two A-League championships, a wealth of talent coming and going, overall an easy supporter lifestyle. But now we have choice, and we know what everyone says. “Competition is good.” But is it?
Will the introduction of the Melbourne Heart see a perfect harmony for the football supporters? Will it bring the balance that has been missing in Versions 1-5? Time will certainly tell and as it should be the football supporters will have the final say.

FIFA and Technology
FIFA MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A TECH GURU
I thought I was a technology dinosaur, however FIFA is certainly making me look like a technology guru.
Red cards, handballs, disallowed goals, simulation really do scar the world game. Why is it that every World Cup is tarnished with the same scenes of injustice? It seems everyone knows what the solution to this problem is, however FIFA insists on digging its heels, claiming that technology is too expensive and that not everyone is in a position to implement it.
Well FIFA, what about implementing it into the competitions that have so much at stake?
Over time countries around the world will follow suit and sooner rather than later we will have a fairer game. God forbid that FIFA should dip into its own financial reserves to assist the poorer nations.
