I would hate to be an away team at Fraser Park. I've watched at least a dozen games as a neutral spectator over the past year or so as I live nearby and the bias from the officials towards the Nix Academy borders on criminal.
It doesn't help the cause that it seems the whole team has been trained to b**ch and moan about every single decision made by a ref. Every time one of them gets touched in anything even resembling a tackle they fall over and scream blue murder at the refs. The saddest part of it all is that the loudest voices seem to be the ones from the dugout, Greenacre is an absolute shocker and some of the garbage that comes out of his mouth is an embarrassment for an ex professional footballer. I have heard Fallon is no better either.
It's a damn shame because some of these kids can really play. Is this how the future Phoenix players are being taught to act? I understand they're in an ultra competitive environment and trying to make it to the next level, but the ego levels need to be brought down a peg or two.
