Just watched my first replay.....How Fabio didn't see at least yellow for lashing out at the ref. Occured around the 70th minute mark

BK was poorly positioned, but a simplistic comparison of the two freekicks based on where they were taken from i unair fair... To both bk, and adp. ADP's free kick went over the wall, zads went around it. Big difference in time to see and judge flight of ball. This only exacerbated his positional error.
I think your friend's tin foil hat might be on too tight regarding the rest of your post!

This game got a mention on the Guardian's Football Weekly Podcast. The reporter covering it, spoke well about the league and the presenters didn't take the piss either - they seemed quite interested. Spoke about Heskey and Del Piero's finishes.
The correspondent did say however, that outside of Del Piero and Emerton, Sydney have a very bad team. Perth, Brisbane and Victory got a mention as did the Mariners and Nick Montgomery. They did take the piss out of the Victory's name, suggested that it is leading the fans down the garden path and maybe they should be called something like "Dull Draw" (paraphrased - can't quite recall).
Can only be good for the league - the Marquees are certainly attracting some interest.
Some sports show on Fox (not football specific) played the Italian coverage of Del Piero's goal.
Pretty much your standard 25 second "gooooooooooaaaaallllllazzzzzoooooo" etc but they were certainly happy about it. More positive press.
Yeh FW's coverage in their pod was good, interestingly the guy they had on was from Backpage Football, the home of A-league news apparently... Must have done the sell to them rof.
When they signed old mate off they definitely did it in a way that leaves the door open for further correspondence (they contact a bloke in spain weekly in a similar fashion).
I'd never heard or read that page before either. Would be good to have a guy here. Like you say they have Sid Lowe in Spain and Rafa Hollingstein (i think) in Germany. Italyu does get a mention and I think Lowe does it from time to time if i recall. Good if we can get coverage on international breaks.
You mean Honigstein
