You’d go a long way to see a more poorly refereed game.

The umpires were watching that contest for some reason. O’Connor got a v.v soft free 10mins earlier. Think Rayner got dumped after it.

The decision itself was wrong but umps had that contest on their radar

Guthrie just the dumbest thing you could do in the circumstances

If someone were able to do an exhaustive piece on the detail of how they’ve been able to manage their list over the last 15years it would be a remarkable read.

Samardzic currently going reasonably well for me in FM. How much higher can a recommendation come ?

If I was Romero, VdV, Deki, Bentancur, Porro, Udogie I’d be searching out any CL landing spot I could find.

I know very little of Frank but he needs to beware. he’ll be taking on a Herculean task for employers who will sack him to spare themselves the lightest of blushes

Levy (& the board) has a special knack for losing the the PR battle.

Leaving the sacking until a Friday news dump 2 weeks after the decision should have been made says it all.

Why would a player not now select self interest rather than the collective?

Decent first choice. Avant- Gardener set pretty close to Ange’s home suburb

Won the league with Sth Melb, Back to back with Brisbane Roar in his 3rd season. You could say his 3rd year with Oz team ended with World Cup qual, he then jumped due to frustration with media and Football Aus.

Or the sight of Postecoglou with the trophy. He must be feeling a level of vindication never registered in human beings before.
