Soft, or wrong?

The whole game has gone soft.
Well they rescinded the red card this afternoon, so they decided it was wrong. He can now play this week.

Re: Disgraceful that the Olyroos fail to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics

Irankunda is not to blame for the debacle.

He wasn't selected in the first place.

Adel United would have pressured him not to go when he eventually got a call-up.

Red faces all around, as AU still failed to get anywhere.

Re: Sam Kerr - charges

What about stopping real crime instead of this petty insignificant rubbish. Wasting Police, legal system and media resources is such a waste of people's time and extremely costly. real crime, like BLM protests, locking people in houses during covid lockdowns??? All a waste of Police resources.

I'll pick a coach with playing experience at a senior level every time.

would you pick Maradona or Wenger as a coach?
Probably not at EPL level, but at other senior level competitions I'm sure they can deliver more than most.

Licences don't matter. Just revenue raising by FA/FSA. They do matter in the Competition Rules. FSA are quite strict on this at NPL, SL1 and SL2 level.
