Ok, let's nip this in the bud right here.  We're not giving a team a guard of honour for winning a competition we aren't allowed to enter.  We're not their opponents so it's not up to us to honour them

Disagree. WSW invented the a-league. They should be honoured. They are the champs of Asia.

ive got a song that wont take long, Adelaide are rubbish.. the second verse is same as the first.. ADELAIDE ARE RUBBISH

Why did we not give ACFC the same. 5th best team in the world and ACFC beat the champs of Asia.

Mods lock it down.

Near the goal you say...?

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

I'm willing to get my arse out if we are doing a guard of honour.

I am reminded of Eddie Murphy's rant in Delirious not being impressed with Stevie Wonder.

Serious suggestion, can we have the huge banner with just a single word?

"MEH"

We should only let in 12 WSW fans

If only we had a banner large enough to say:

Phoenix: Best A-League team in Oceania!

Devils Advocate - I think we should do a guard of honour.  But before hand we say to the FFA we will do it if they extend our licence. Both acts show good faith from both sides.

Of course as soon as I heard it mentioned on the commetary I had to restrain from an expletive laden rant in case I woke the wife and/or child

Disagree. You do a guard of honour at the end of season when the game you are playing in doesn't mean anything. ie. after one team has won the league. We are 5 games in. It basically telling them that they are better than us.

Do we get the watch back, or will it be broken?

We will never fully decide who has won the football.

Guard of honour dress code -

"At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive...

I'll take my chance because luck is on my side or something...

Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand...

Oh Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land..."

This all seems a bit humourless to me.

If our players want to show respect to their players then I'm fine with that.

It is a pretty huge achievement and its probably at the player to player level that the respect is most keenly felt.

That doesn't mean the crowd can't still be giving them plenty.

And it would be cool to have a cheeky "Champions of Asia" banner to pull over if we win!

Agree. Think it shows a bit of class and respect from the club for the players to do it personally.

There's no way the players will want to do it though
