clearly Tony P is right to question the pre-season booking/suspension rules - it could make a bit of a mess of the final if we have too many sitting out (oh, yeah,... if we make it)
Have put a formal request to FFA to abolish all yellow cards after this round. My argument has been that the two GF teams would be disadvantaged as they play an extra game and the players could earn another yellow which would out them out of the 1st round. Sydney got 7 yellow last week. Imagine if they got more yellows this week. No Colosimo, Brosque etc playing in the first round. Not good for the A League as you want the best players playing. Hopefully FFA understand this and adhere to my recommendation. Will let you guys know.
Football Federation Australia today amended 2008 Pre-Season Cup disciplinary rules to wipe all yellow cards at the end of round three of the warm-up competition, meaning that the two teams contesting the final will start with a clean slate in terms of cautions.
Well done Tony P - good lobbying!
LOL! Tony P - you are a legend
