That article shouldn't be as funny as it is. 

I however would suggest avoiding the 4-4-2 foums at all costs.  They are full of stupid.

just because you've been blacklisted from every other forum in Australasia

Glory owner Tom Sage said is furious his club's pleas to the FFA for a postponement have been snubbed.

�At the moment we�ve got 10 fit players,� he told The West Australian.

�Why won�t FFA entertain a postponement of the game? What are we supposed to do? They sit in their ivory towers in Sydney hoping this will go away but it won�t.�

He added: "They treat us like second class citizens. If it was Melbourne or Sydney they'd listen. We refused to let Nikita go until we got a response.

"We've nine fit players. They told us to get players from the state league but the local league finished weeks ago. A few local players we've targeted we can't get in touch with, they're on end of season trips."
==========================================================
Pretty valid point there I would say...

Phoenix have just got a couple of players.... Why can't they? Why couldn't they have got better prepared before now?

Colvinator I think C-Diddy means that "if it was Melb or Sydney they'd listen" is a fair point.

He's right.

Yeah, Melbourne and Sydney would get the good treatment.

However, if the FFA do postpone the match I wont be happy. We lose about 5 players (top players might I add) to international duty, and nothing is done about it.

I can understand why the glory are a little upset, but at the end of the day all the teams knew the schedule prior start of the season, need to toughen up and deal with it.

Actually, I don't think I am currently banned from any. 

My banning from Melbourne got rescinded, I quit the world game rather than get banned, and 4-4-2 I registered on to protect the Hard News brand but have never used it.

They would have enough players if they didn't get suspensions. And the suspensions are there own fault so they can't complain (having said that, if the Phoenix were in the same position I'd probably complain anyway).

The A-league shouldnt even be playing during weeks there are internationals..

but as long as they are, no exceptions - otherwise where do you draw the line? at 3 players out, at 5 players out, at 7 players out? If perth gets a break, but we dont that would be outrageous.

everyone knew the rules at the beginning of the year - and so all were equally able to build into their recruitment.

Glory think they get treated like second class citizens? Move to NZ and watch how the FFA & the TV commentators as well, treat us !

Good point!

yep, barring the 'plague' (preferably at Newcastle or Queensland), I figure that they should be expected to sort it out

any exceptions would send the wrong message to clubs and inevitably lead to inconsistencies (and there are already enough of those on the pitch and in the judiciary room)

This will never happen, they wouldn't want to set a precedent.

They had the dates, they knew which players were eligible, it's their own fault for not being prepared.

The more teams that complain to the FFA about this the better. I hope the Phoenix are quietly letting the FFA know that they are not happy either. Too late to change this season but it should be looked at for next season. If three players are on international duty you should have the option of postponing the game. Or no games in FIFA windows. Is it fair that some teams have to play with weakened line ups? Sydney get to play us weakened other teams have to play us at full strength.Is that fair?
