I don’t think Sarri should be embarrassed at all – Kepa is the only one at fault. It’s disgraceful for a player to stay on the pitch after being called off.
Managers losing their power to the players
What about the 20 years where NBL attendances were low?
“Natural” deviation???
How to get better A-League crowds and TV ratings
You just said Basketball had its ‘hey day’ in mid 90s and then attendances came down – so is its natural level what it was at in the 90s or now?

Yea that’s fair – but crowds have come up nevertheless

I don’t think age correlates with ability to fix the A-League dimwit

There is no ‘natural level’ – who’s to say there can’t be substantial growth with the correct management?

Honda has brought greater attendances – 1st round last season Victory got about 30 000, this year about 40 000

Kevin Muscat and Mark Rudan have put Australia's coaching potential on centre stage
I never condoned dangerous behaviour, but he was punished every time. I’m not in any way defending any tackles he made, I’m saying you shouldn’t judge his character because of that. To my knowledge he played a part in 1 retirement and because of his actions paid out 750 000 pounds to the victim. To me it’s quite clear you make a judgement on his character because of mistakes he made on the playing field – there’s no way he intended to severely injure anyone or he’d be in jail.

You’ve called him a “grub”. How could that possibly not be interpreted as calling him a bad person? Nobody in football has intent to end careers because that never benefits anyone. I don’t deny in any way he was aggressive, but I can’t stand when people make harsh judgements based off of that. Red cards and suspensions are the penalties for such actions, and to my knowledge he served all of them.

How is it fair that you make a judgement on a person never having met them? I hear plenty of people who are willing to slate him but few can come up with any good reason for it. It’s ridiculous to suggest he’s in any way a bad person for being passionate.
By the way, the FFA aren’t paying for Honda, fox sports are – and only contribute around half of his salary at that.

And yet the a-league has more money and greater attendances in it than other football structures with pro/rel???
More A-League teams for Sydney and Melbourne: Did the FFA get their A-League expansion decision right?
Hehe a Rugby League fan talking about stagnation. Try to get recognised as a sport before you slag football off.

Bolting out of the A-League: Usain's Central Coast sojourn comes to an end
“humble enough”?
I’d have more respect if he didn’t demand a $3 million salary that would make him the highest paid player in the league. It’s one thing trying to fulfil a dream – I think this was a clear marketing ploy from Bolt, or he would’ve taken the contract offered.

On another note, has anyone noticed that Fox Sports don’t broadcast Asian Champions League despite having the rights for it? I’ve tried to watch some Hiroshima games earlier in the season – I can understand why they wouldn’t broadcast that – but today I discovered that they don’t show the ACL Final. Surely the ACL final would secure better ratings than replays of V8 supercars and the Prime Ministers’ XI playing SA?
Streaming may be the A-League's future, but is it enough to pay the bills?
But VAR wasn’t just checking whether it was in/out of the box. If the foul is inside the box then they are allowed to overturn it based on it not being a foul. How we can still have these issues with VAR is beyond me. When it first came in it was made quite clear that it would only be used for clear mistakes, but it has transformed into micromanagement of every major incident. Hasn’t solved anything.

What is the point of VAR if the on-field referee is still making all the decisions? How could he possibly make a better decision on a small TV screen than a bunch of people in a box?

Are you really a football tragic if you leave that easily?
Time for FFA to simply let football be football
Fairly sure Arsenal replays are on Foxtel too.

Maybe Wenger’s Arsenal didn’t develop the same level of players post-2008 – although talents like jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Hector Bellerin and Theo Walcott are far more capable footballers than they ever get/got credit for at Arsenal.
But anyway – is it really Wenger’s fault? It’s unrealistic to suggest that a manager could change their methods so drastically and that it could have such an impact on the development of players.
For me, Mesut Ozil is another of these underrated players, to a lesser extent. His incredible technical ability is widely recognised, but he does far more work off the ball than what is acknowledged. It’s a bit strange anyway for a creative midfielder to be criticised so heavily for not doing enough defensively and not being ‘tough’. When Arsenal signed Ozil, it wasn’t for his defensive work.
It’ll be interesting to see if he can prove his doubters wrong this season w/out international football to worry about.
The end of Germany
“Ozil was somewhat finished anyway, but there’s certainly a good and bad way to end things. What was Wenger’s Arsenal if not a graveyard for high-level careers?”
Questionable statements – Ozil’s in his prime and still a world-class player, while Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal was the birthplace of high level careers. Wenger transformed players like Henry, Cesc Fabregas, Marc Overmars and Freddie Ljungberg. I can’t tell if you’re just poking fun at Arsenal or these are serious statements?

If nothing else, the marquee fund generates publicity for the A-League – but at least one major star (preferably one that has played football professionally) must be signed after missing out on Iniesta and Torres. Would be great to see Honda + Crouch.
Why the marquee fund is the best thing for the A-League
“until we get some of those 4 points implemented (in particular Pt 4), I won’t be watching or attending A-League again”
well if we’re gonna talk about the ‘real’ problem….
