SBS Scott McIntyre loves Asian football

Best game you ever seen Scott?

"I'm a big Asian football fan. Lived in Japan for a while. So I'd have to say the best game I ever saw was FC Tokyo winning the League Cup."

Scott is the envy of many. He gets to talk and watch football for a job. And he's so young!

I collared Scott in a spare moment before the Australia Oman game.

I'd also ambushed a TV interview he was doing outside Aussie Stadium before a Sydney FC game earlier this year.

He was asking people who would win the Champions League. I said Celtic, who else:)

Scott said he remembered the ambush. I was impressed.

Questions for Arnie

Okay, my friends are getting envious. I'm starting to receive hate mail because I'm going to cover the Asia Cup for the Canberra Times.

and they are sitting in their tax-payer funded palaces:)

Who would you rather be?

Anyway of course in the Public Service you occasionally have time to think.

Here are the questions I'm supposed to ask Graham Arnold.

All are written and devised by one of the Senior Public Service football fans who is just sick of hearing about Viduka's retirement, Timmy' s knee etc.
