Yeah I agree they should be given the chance. What I think I'm not sure about is if the a league should be of been created instead of the nsl.

But when you have dudes saying Sydney united are ok when they have all the baggage it's just not good for anyone with a brain to be around that shite

But Judge Harris on Thursday upheld the guilty finding against Lisica, who performed the salute seven times.

They included one example of scaling a guard rail to raise his hand and later when standing by himself up at the top of the spectator area.

The painter had worn army camouflage to the soccer match and held a large hand-made Croatian flag with the phrase “za dom”, meaning “for homeland”.

He also gave evasive answers to police about whether he raised his arm in a Nazi salute when interviewed in February 2023, she said.

The judge also rejected the 46-year-old’s claim he was too drunk to remember what he did after having 10 beers on the day.
 
"and all three men were found guilty and fined AU$500 on one count of publicly displaying a Nazi symbol without reasonable excuse. Sieben and Gasparovic received lifetime bans from attending football games while Sieben, who lodged a notice of appeal, was given a one-year ban."
 
How hard is it just to go yeah sure, they are nazi sympathisers....own up to it.

Townsend came at the end of the slippery slope, WU middle finger to who and what for, more like absolute desperation for the leaking boat imo.

Mate, the honeymoon is always a wonderful thing, I've only experienced this once but some go through it many a time, good luck to them but after the honeymoon reality sets in and your right managing the moment and horizon is the challenge for all, especially AL.

CEO's
ONeil (ex ARU) enjoyed the optimun honeymoon, got laid for 2yrs for no one cared it was a young spunky wife lets get onto it :)
Millenials got an easy lay hahaha


B Buckley, a failed AFL wanka comes in to run the round ball game but didn't have a clue what juggling was let alone how to manage a WC tax payer funded 45M bid down the gurler like the optimun deep throat specialist !
More of BB's bundles over 6yrs

1. World Cup Bid
No way to sugar coat this – it was a stinker. From the cartoon kangaroo to the one solitary vote it was a colossal time and money waster. The $45 million of taxpayer funds washed down the gurgler was small change compared with the cost to the game’s credibility and the progress of the A-League. Buckley, Lowy and the FFA took their eye off the ball back home to chase glory on the world stage. What we got was a global pantsing. The opprobrium was not Buckley’s alone – we now know the fix was in – but it smacked of all that was wrong with Australian football administration, the lack of football people. The minute Paul Hogan, Elle McPherson and Nicole Kidman were trundled out we knew we were in trouble. And rightly or wrongly it reaffirmed the notion that the former AFL man was a ring-in.


2. Club Squabbles
Buckley deserves an upper cut simply for unleashing self-confessed rugby league die-hard Clive Palmer on the game during his watch. The mining magnate’s colourful salvos against the FFA in the dying days of Gold Coast United made for great theatre unless you actually cared about the future of football. It may have been brinkmanship by Nathan Tinkler to hand in the Jets licence but once again it showed football’s governing body had lost control of the game’s well-heeled patrons. Dire warnings over the bows from Adelaide United’s Greg Griffin and Perth Glory’s Tony Sage, among others, added to the impression the game was a shambles.


3. Expansion Woes
Not so long ago the A-League looked like it was headed for oblivion. Gold Coast went the way of North Queensland Fury and the Jets looked like joining the dearly departed. Let’s not even get started on what was happening with the Sydney Rovers bid or bullish talk about setting up a rebel league. Plans for a 12 and 14 club league early in the piece suddenly seemed like so much pie-in-sky. Plenty of pundits were lining up to write the fledgling league’s obituary and Buckley’s team seemed incapable of presenting a clear and positive plan for the future.


4. North Queensland Fury
How apt was the name Fury? This deserves a point all of its own simply for the way the whole debacle was handled. Even now it leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many football fans. It may never have been a goer but the notion that it was simply a pawn in the FFA’s world cup bid is hard to shrug off. When the bid fell over the writing was pretty much on the wall for Franz Straka’s men. Talk of setting up a community model may have been given an airing behind closed doors but it’s hard to say. Lack of transparency was a defining factor of this administration. Probably a wasted opportunity to have an open discussion about different ownership models.


5. Lack of cut-through
There were plenty of good news stories during Buckley’s reign but the former CEO lacked the strength of personality to cut-through wave after wave of bad press. In fairness it was a tough gig. Faced with an anti-football media and plenty of disgruntled football followers willing to believe the worst it was next to impossible to be a glass half-full kind of guy. To his credit he always came across as a thoroughly decent bloke but when the Andrew Demetrious of this world are hanging you out to dry it’s time to take off the gloves.

Then hung donkey of all donkeys that had no fuckin clue but to guide the game ala NRL, NRL's key to football success Gallop, what a absolute joke and embarrassment to our beloved game.
Quoted he liked WBA and admired Aloisi's pen to glory, he wouldn't have even known of him ffs.
Enjoy re refreshing yourslef what this DH has done to yours and our game grrrrrrrrr
