    Pretty similar imo, that's the challenge I've had in mind the whole time.

    Yeah, I agree..
    But unfortunately this is Straya and our officials and committees are horrendously incompetent..
    I'll be absolutely flabbergasted if he gets less than 6 weeks..

    Immediately thought of Mane situation.
    I mean, if he actually gets to the ball and gets a flick on toward goal and Thomas arrives late and gets him, what happens?

    I don’t know if they are allowed/supposed to talk about intent. Nobody can prove anything either way. They will say he meant to cause harm, we will say that he went for the ball and was so focussed etc.

    How long was Smeltz suspended for?

    I think 3-4 weeks.

    Muscat can’t even comment on it surely. I rewatched his red card tackle where he makes contact above he knee and is horizontal. Grub.


    I have a reasonably new found dislike towards Victory after this season. The thought of Troisi in a good shirt with his combover makes me sick.

    And he's already been referred to an independent tribunal which is supposed to rule on cases where it will exceed 4 weeks.

    Latest on Iniesta...

    https://www.foxsports.com.au/footbal...43b-1525753362

    But this is interesting

    But it’s understood Sydney FC, Melbourne Victory, Newcastle Jets and Western Sydney Wanderers are the clubs who will be in the market for recognised name players next season.

    The CEOs of the four clubs are due to meet on Thursday to discuss their budgets and how the funds, provided by Fox Sports, will be used.
    We are one of the big 4 all of a sudden!

    Wait, are they really saying that Iniesta is somewhat comparable to Del Piero and Heskey?

    Oh my dear lord.

    I'd argue maybe Del Piero in terms of national team status

    Didnt we have a lot of innocuos soft tissue injuries this season??

    You know I don't get involved in personal insults, but you are an idiot of the highest order.

    I would also say that Iniesta really only has appeal to serious fans of the game.

    70% of your EPL bandwagon boys who fap over your likes of Harry Kane Stevie G Mo Salahs Aguero etc would have NFI who he is

    Dont forget these are the clowns FFA are trying to appeal to with your marquees

    Bloke is the second greatest football on the planet bar Griff yet these clowns wouldnt know it

    Yeah, I don't think our injury record was anything worth shouting about. BUT I don't know the ins and outs of his role so I don't want to criticise him. Either way, if Lee is willing to spend money, I don't imagine it's that difficult to replace a physio. Maybe we could just poach Sydney's?

    Or is that more a reflection on our club not being so open in the media as in the past and keeping a few things secret for a change??

    I understand the Good Members and Stannys point.

    But any player, be it Griff, Iniesta or Pato needs to be signed for their footballing ability only, and their ability to contribute to a winning team.

    This season has shown that the crowds, and results will come with good football.
    10 years ago bay 4 was screaming for Hoffs blood, now they adore him. Nothing changed other than results.

    Had to look twice to see it was a trial game - all aboard the bandwagon.
